5/11 Cubs (Hill) @ Phillies (Hamels) 6:05 CSN+/XM 185

[waffle]

I'll be at the game tonight and I am psyched. GREAT matchup of up and comers. Good seats too.

 

I'll check in tomorrow with my observations.

 

If you are watching it on T.V. and see a scrawny guy in a cubs hat being abused by Philly Loyals, say a prayer. Sometime it isn't easy to wear the colors.

[anabiono]

I'll be there as well with my son. Section 241 (left field porch) - 1st row seats. Should be a great pitching match-up tonight.

Don't plan on getting abused. I've been to dozens of Cubs games in Philly, and it's definitely nowhere near the same atmosphere of an Eagles game. They'll abuse the Phillies before they'll turn on a Cubs fan. Assuming you don't act like an ass, games in Philly are more like games in Atlanta than Shea or Yankee Stadium.

It's true. The banter is actually quite entertaining. But I am kinda scrawny....

 

The guy I go with is about as much of a Phillies fan as I am a Cubs fan (as in HUGE) which helps.

[ctcf]

Anyone going on sunday?

[jersey cubs fan]

Anyone going on sunday?

 

Yes, just don't tell anybody. Trying to sneak away from the in-laws on Mother's Day (after golfing in the morning), is going to be quite the feat if you ask me.

 

Going with a few Phillies fans on Saturday, although I swear, I've never met a single Philllies fan who comes anywhere close to being as crazy a fan as Cubs fans are. The same people are die hard nutty Eagles fans, but they just don't get up for the Phillies in the same way. It's a weird dynamic.

It's true.. the guy I am going with is only one of 2 I know. He, however, is hardcore. Not just phillies, but baseball in general. We are about the same age (as in middle) so we can reminisce about great moments over the ages... like the infamous 23-22 game...etc.

Sweet! +3

 

BalsaWoodKeyboard is the originator. I just changed it a little.

 

Thank you, thank you, thank you. I wish to credit it to my finals and procrastination.

 

Also, this game is gonna ROCK. Two awesome young pitchers. Get ready for a pitchers duel!!!

[BigSlick]

Interesting match up, pitching wise, and baseball club wise.

 

Cubs still lose.

[rawaction]

Cole Hamels will love pitching to this lineup with all the K potential. Then again he's not sucky like Gorzellany and Belisle, so the Cubs might actually do something tonight.

 

I actually like Hill's chances against the Phils. Victorino and Howard haven't hit LHPs at all this year. Neither has Burrell, and he's struggling as of late. Of course, Utley and Rollins have destroyed LHPs. I think there's a good chance Hill at least stops one of them.

 

My guess is the Cubs win this game by a decent margin (5-1) scoring a couple runs late off the Phils pen.

 

Hill- 7 IP, 5 hits, 1 Er (solo HR), 2 BB, 8 Ks

Hamels- 6 1/3, 4 hits, 3 ER, 2 BB, 12 Ks

The key will be to make Hamels work and get him outta there as soon as possible to get to their 'pen.

what part of 4-2, 2.72 is sucky again?

[Andy]

This game was originally scheduled for CSN, I'd be fascinated to learn why they bumped such a pitching matchup to the +

[Flames24Rulz]

Reds fans love the guy.

[Garwilly]

I have Hamels and Hill starting tonight. Here's to 18 combined innings of one run baseball.

[IWU_CUBS_FAN]

at least we have our real ace on the mound

I think it is part of the World Wide Conspiracy to keep me from seeing games that Hill pitches!!!!!!!!!!

[CubmanPi]

I thought he went on Wednesday 8-)
