06/21 CUBS (Lilly) @ Texas (Padilla) 1:05pm, CSN, XM182

[Laura]

I'm spot-starting for the day game; Southpaw19 is the starter for tomorrow's game either way.

Lilly's line ain't too shabby, and Padilla's is pretty horrible.

 

Cubs lose.

[CubColtPacer]

It sounds like DeRosa's eye will be fine. He was able to see again after about 45 minutes, so unless they keep him out due to precautionary reasons, he should be in there. We already know that Ward will play 1st today, Lee will DH, and Bowen will likely start.

[C.C.]

The depression continues...

[CubmanPi]

Lilly's line ain't too shabby, and Padilla's is pretty horrible.

 

Cubs lose.

Yea, that was the first thing I thought too.

 

Before the series started, I bet my best friend (Rangers fan) $20 that the Cubs would take the series. I wasn't thinking. My fault guys, sorry.

[UMFan83]

My guess at the lineup

 

Soriano, LF

Pagan, CF

Lee, DH

Floyd, RF

Ward, 1B

DeRosa, 3B

Bowen, C

Fontenot, 2B

Theriot, SS

[Marco4]

I shall be intrigued to see Bowen, and its been a while since I saw a game, to be honest.

[otis89]

Lilly will get his usual nonexistent run support. Cubs lose 2-1.

Take solace in the fact that all 3 Cubs/Sox games will be on WGN.

You realize that at least one of them will be the Sox crew, right?

[seanimal]

well if they're splitting broadcasts between sox on csn and cubs on wgn like they did for the last series then all the games on wgn will be len and bob

Go CUBS !!

[Derwood]

so the NIGHT game was on WGN but the DAY game is on CSN?

 

Whiskey

Tango

Foxtrot?

 

Take solace in the fact that all 3 Cubs/Sox games will be on WGN.

 

those games are going to be a royal suck fest

Hey, even the Royals don't suck that hard.

Last night they said Len and Bob on Friday and Sunday on WGN

Makes you wonder if Ward is feeling all right-he was supposed to play 1B today.

 

That's 6 games in a row for Theriot at SS now-not that it really matters, whoever the team throws out at SS is awful anyway.

Pie finally out of the 2 spot, good. Jones not playing RF, also good. Ward still not playing, though? Why?
