6/6 CUBS (Z) @ Brewers (Suppan) 1:05 WGN

[soccer10k]

It's after 3 AM here, the game starts in less than eight hours and there's no game thread up so I figured I would spot start.

 

This guy:

5-5, 5.62 ERA

7-5, 3.61 ERA

 

Please don't suck Z.

[seanimal]

Big Fergie J disagrees.

 

That being said, this thread should have been opened a while ago.

 

I see two outcomes:

 

1) Z blows, totally sucks, 7 ER

2) Z rocks, 1 ER

 

either way the Cubs probably lose because any time they need to win a game, they lose 4.

The offense is starting to click, they'll be good for at least 5 runs, so, it boils down to Zambrano' performance. If he gives the Cubs a QS they'll win, if not, they may still win but, probably not.

[anabiono]

zambrano is going to blow his arm out and dash my hopes of a decent to nice trade in the near future

 

thanks a lot hothead

 

MEAT!

[UMFan83]

Don't forget, the Reds lineup is much better than the Brewers lineup

[98navigator]

Somehow we pull this out.

[Schwarber Fan]

The Cubs OWN Jeff Suppan:

 

Lee .484, 3 HRs

Jones .300, 4 HRs

Ramirez .296, HR

Floyd has a HR

Barrett .417

Pagan .667 (2-3)

Zambrano 1-4 with a triple :D

Izturis even checks in at .286

Pie also is 1-4

 

Matchups definitely in the Cubs favor

[C.C.]

I missed last nights game, but I'm back for the day game. C'mon win this series!

i smell the faint musk of an "L"

[pitchcs]

What happened to the batter/pitcher matchups being posted?

 

Is someone outta town?

[C.C.]

I'm actually feeling really good about this game. I have no idea why...

[soapy]

this is not going to end well for zambrano.

 

loss

[UMFan83]

If Z is really healthy and wants to show that he deserves his money, this would be a great time to start pitching like it. 6.5 games back is much better than 8.5 games

[jersey cubs fan]

6.5 games back is much better than 8.5 games

 

Especially since they only get to face them 6 more times the rest of the season.

Has there been some sort of fog/smoke situation going on inside Miller Park?

Last night they mentioned something about fireworks for HR's. Do they even do that there?

They do. Saw it myself Monday night.

Oh ok. I was there last year, but come to think of it there may not have been a HR.

Fireworks in a dome are incredibly stupid. It looked like the fog bowl in there.

stoopid smokers

[inari]

Is there any doubt this is the most important game of the season to this point? I'm a-scurred.

That was the smoke from Lou's cigar.

 

I forsee Z holding up to his promise, hitting 107 on the gun on the first pitch as his arm comes out socket and spins around like a pinwheel. The ball goes straight through Barrett's glove and rips his head clean off. The Cubs then go on to win handily.

With this bullpen? Yeah, right.

Odds are 6-1 that Zambrano jack slaps Koyie in the game today.
