GO CUBS

[TruffleShuffle]

not too optimistic about this one... pretty tough lefty against this lineup could be ugly

[rickrolled]

Cubs are actually starting to gain my interest again...don't kill my enthusiasm, cobs

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

We need the good Zambrano to show up tomorrow.

[Drew Doughty]

yeah, yo uwould think so.

 

good thing we aren't facing one.

Lucky for us, he's a right-hander :D

 

He's still pretty tough though, and the Cubs only managed 1 run in 7 innings last time. Z will have to be on top of his game to keep up because the Cubs likely won't get all that many off of Young. In fact, Young has not allowed more than 3 runs in any outing since April 26th.

Chris Young is righty? I'll be damned. I always thought he was lefty... but I guess until last year I always thought Will Ohman was black too.

[Derwood]

hopefully i'll get the TV portion of my built-ins finished up in time to set up the TV and follow while I work in the family room tomorrow

[jjgman21]

if I remember the last game against Young correctly, the Cubs had several flyouts that are homeruns in any other ballpark.

[otis89]

Keep winning, losers.

[TruffleShuffle]

ugh jenkins just hit a grand slam for the brewers ](*,)

[sunnydoo]

Z, v2.0!

 

 

Geaux Cubbies!

[C.C.]

Keep on chugging Cubs! GO CUBS!!!!

 

 

 

 

 

We lose tomorrow and Sunday...

[jjgman21]

Isnt it kind of early to be doing that?

 

Game doesnt start for another 22 hours. :wink:

[killthegoat06]

Win cobs.

[Sammy Sofa]

I predict Zambrano will continue his inevitable decline.

[Lockes Eye Scar]

I predict Zambrano will continue his inevitable decline.

 

A bad performance wouldn't suprise me after 130 pitches last time out

Actually, I'm only posting that for reverse jinx. I posted it the last two games, and the pitchers proved me wrong, so I hope your guess is wrong, too.

I remember that too. Petco Park (and Peavy's great start) have helped to greatly reduce their team ERA-best in the MLs.

 

Hopefully, Z is on his game.

[Bixby]

In before loss.

If you post that something is a reverse jinx, doesn't that reverse the reverse and make it a jinx?

It actually doesn't work at all, and means nothing.

Love the early start. The less wait on a boring summer day, the better.
