Hmmmm...Do all the bets still stand? Anyone?

 

Not me.

[Fred Hornkohl]

yea...west coast night games are the best!

 

maybe the cubs can catch fire on the west coast like two years ago....then again they will start out with a probable loss with peavy on the mound

 

Or maybe they'll catch fire like they did last year on their West Coast swing in May.

 

Yeah.... catch fire as in crash and burn !! :wink:

SWEEEEEEEEP!!!

 

Hmmmm...Do all the bets still stand? Anyone?

 

Yeah.... if we sweep the Padres, I'll gladly donate $10 toward somebody's year of Premium.

[Roast]

I think we'll score a lot of runs tomorrow. That's how the cubs work. They get shut out by first-timers then pound on the good pitchers like Peavy and Oswalt.

 

I predict that the cubs win 5-2.

[C.C.]

SWEEEEEEEEP!!!

Too soon? Let's give it another go the next time Cubs play the Sox.

No. Just no.

[Lockes Eye Scar]

My bet's on until they sweep someone.

 

and winning the first two games and having one postponed doesn't count.

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing.

Go CUBS !!

[Southpaw191679666239]

I think we'll score a lot of runs tomorrow. That's how the cubs work. They get shut out by first-timers then pound on the good pitchers like Peavy and Oswalt.

 

I predict that the cubs win 5-2.

 

5 is not "a lot"...

[ctcf]

Rotoworld says DLee is back!

[BigbadB]

I'll be at this game tonight. Hill is going to dominate.

 

There has been a very thick marine layer for the last week. Expect something like 1-0 or 2-1 for this game. Hill WILL NOT give up a home run tonight. Peavy will be the 2nd best pitcher on the mound in San Diego tonight. :wink:

 

Look for me in the stands.

It is against Peavy.

FWIW 5 runs does exceed our current average R/G of 4.9.

 

Ok, it's a stretch.

[Guest]

I sold my tickets...I officially won't be going to a Cubs game this year.

[C.C.]

Can someone start tomorrow's thread? Cubs already lost this game.

[killthegoat06]

That's sad. :cry:

Well, work is in the way today and I'll be in the Bay area when the Cubs come to play the Dodgers here.
