5/20 Sox (Masset) v. Cubs (Z) 1:20CT CSN, WGN & WGN 720

[tfarks]

How much in premium does NSBB stand to make should the cobs actually pull this off?

 

Good question, last summarization had it upwards of $380 I believe.

Actually, it's $290... But we'll worry about that later. Lets not get ahead of ourselves just yet...

[C.C.]

This is got to be a first! Everyone is pulling for the Cubs to win, so that they can give away money? And are happy about it! Only Cubs fans!

I will do anything moral to see them win. Maybe even some immoral things, if I have to. :lol:

[Butterscup1679666578]

Win please.

Anyone know if D. Lee will be back this game? Piniella said it's improbable. Lee says he's ready to.

Yeah, Lee said he will play tomorrow.

[Sosa21MVP]

The Cubs are only 4 games back of Milwaukee in the loss column. Not bad considering the Brewers hot start and the Cubs up and down play.

 

Let's finish this sweep and head out West with a .500 record. 8-)

Whoever made that, good work. I'm gonna re-size it because it stretches, the page though. Still, an awesome photoshop.

Comon Z...get the sweep. Marmol for setup man to Weurtz!

Game-time wind chills will be in the low-to-mid 50s with a wind in from left-center. Not a high chance of rain, but it should be mostly cloudy.

SWEEP, SWEEP, SWEEP

Ooh, another investor.

[Flames24Rulz]

We lose.

[Soriano12]

Lets light this chump Masset up.

[BigSlick]

White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen said he's changed his mind and won't start veteran Jose Contreras on three days rest Sunday. Instead, rookie reliever Nick Masset will make his first major league start. ...

If we can't beat the snot out of a trashy reliever coming into a starting role, we don't deserve to make .500.

 

To echo many many other posters:

 

WIN YOU BUMS

I hope not.

[PrimeTime]

just got home from the bars..Wearing my Soriano jersey tonight..It felt good doing it on the southside..all the few Cubs fans gave me high fives and we talked about beating the Sox.Good times..Im in Sox territory so I got the dirty looks and the typical trash talking behind the back which I can hear but not make out what they say.Typical white sox trashy fashion which im used too..I am actually still in shock..Cubs coming from behind with clutch hitting and executing? If we played like this all year so far, theres no doubt we'd be on top of the brewers or sumwhere above .500 right now..hopefully this is a start of what we will see from here on out..So tommorrow, im thinknig of going to menards and buying the biggest broom i can find and bring into the bar tommorrrow..I get so much stuff all my life living on the southside, I just want to, and it feels good to finally be happy sumwhat..instead of always being put down and hearing anti cubs stuff every single day..lets SWEEP EM!!!

Masset is not that bad of a pitcher. He has the potential to be a real solid bullpen arm for the Sox in the future.
