Winds blowing in from CF at about 15 mph.

[Brian]

I'll be in the bleachers for this game.

[A New Era]

Won't be watching. Our pitching is stellar. STELLAR. And our Offense is doing it's usual bad timing flip flopping. Scoring runs when not needed, not scoring ANY when very few are needed.

 

Unfortunately, when the offense picks up, the pitching will start sucking. It's just the fate of the cubs.

[rickrolled]

I hope Clay Hensley is prepared for the most amazing pitching performance in history, when he tosses a perfect game, and strikes out 21 batters to set the new K record. Also, he manages to hit a grand slam off the scoreboard, despite being a career .105 hitter.

[Flames24Rulz]

Hensley shut us out last year. Look for more of the same this year.

[soccer10k]

Hensley's ERA will drop significantly after this game.

[inari]

Auto loss.

[rocket]

cubs lose

[CaliforniaRaisin]

In the even that the Cubs do win this game, I won't be able to post a new game thread till about 10 pm PT. If that's too late for you folks, go ahead and start one.

[Butterscup1679666578]

We gotta take at least 3 of our next 4. Unfortunately it's not going to be easy at all. Hopefully Aramis is back and Soriano and Lee start hitting some home runs.

[Soriano12]

Hensley? Hell the Padres could probably run Don Henley out there and shut out the Cubs.

[TruffleShuffle]

cubs lose, season's over, etc

[otis89]

Marquis, you better provide some offense, because your teammates aren't going to give you any!

[Schwarber Fan]

Maybe we'll actually beat Hensley since he owned us last year

 

It's the Bronson Arroyo theory

 

Sorta like playing Enrique Wilson at Yankee Stadium ;)

[Soul]

Auto loss.

 

dunno why, this made me laugh.

 

I have 3 words for our Cubs:

 

Please stop sucking.

I like the layout of your post and the information provided.

 

This should be the template for Game Threads.

In the even that the Cubs do win this game, I won't be able to post a new game thread till about 10 pm PT. If that's too late for you folks, go ahead and start one.

 

No, you should beable to do it. 10 pm is not too late. Midnight Central right? I'm in no hurry to talk about the cubs. Can we all agree to wait for Cali to post the next thread?

I feel I'm going to be starting a game thread a lot earlier than I want to. :x

I smell a 73-49 game. Too bad we'll lose.

[A New Era]

In the even that the Cubs do win this game, I won't be able to post a new game thread till about 10 pm PT. If that's too late for you folks, go ahead and start one.

 

No, you should beable to do it. 10 pm is not too late. Midnight Central right? I'm in no hurry to talk about the cubs. Can we all agree to wait for Cali to post the next thread?

 

Get the team to agree to it by winning. :)

 

Will do sir! Unfortunately they will loose their next 4 games after that.

I smell a 73-89 season.

 

Fixed.

So, the day that the offense shows up, the pitching staff will be bludgeoned. Figures... :wink:
