We won (Friday). If we win (Saturday), that's two-in-a-row. If we win (Sunday), that's called a winning streak; it has happened before. ~ Lou Brown, Major League (loosely adapted for this weekend) :D

 

EDIT: Can't add more characters to the Subject, but for those who need to know, the game is also on WGN-TV.

pitch good hill...i want Jr.

[CubColtPacer]

First, love the Major League reference.

 

Second, I wish Ramirez could play third tomorrow, although I understand completely why they have him at DH. Here's why:

 

The good:

Ward is 9 for 24 with 1 2B, 3 HR, and 1 BB

Lee is 15 for 41 with 5 2B, 3 HR, and 2 BB

Ramirez is 7 for 21 with 2 2B, 1 3B, 1 HR, and 1 BB

DeRosa is 6 for 19 with 1 2B, 1 HR, and 3 BB

Izturis is 5 for 16 with 2 2B and 1 BB

 

The Bad:

Floyd is 9 of 34 with 2 2B and 2 BB

Jacque is 3 for 15 with 1 HR

Soriano is 1 for 6

 

The only other guy who could be in the lineup who has an at bat against Vasquez-Theriot is 1 for 3

 

On the other side, nobody has more than 3 AB's. The only significant person is:

 

Iguchi-3/3 with 2 HR

so the game IS on WGN, just with Sox announcers, right? For some of us, WGN is our only option

Correct.

well then for "out-of-towners" I think the thread title/broadcast info should be corrected to add both channels.

[otis89]

Win again, you pathetic bunch of losers!

Correct.

 

Ugh. This is going to make my ears bleeed.

 

I guess I can only hope Erstad isn't able to play.

Pray for a hot start by the Cubs and that they keep pouring it on, and it'll be just like having the mute activated. ;)

[sunnydoo]

Hawk Harrelson leaves a great deal to desire as a baseball announcer. I will suffer as long as i can and then mute- probably about the bottom of the first.

 

 

 

Geaux Cubbies!

[Omar]

I've been anticipating this start all year. It didnt happen the last start at Wrigley, but I really want to see Hill start against the Sox and own them especially after what Ozzie said to him last year.

Ozzie really didn't say anything untrue about Rich last year.

[Shilzzz]

ward is a beast against vasquez :shock: :shock:

 

ramirez really ought to be at third, based on that.

Hill, he should be in Triple-A. He's going to make Dusty Baker be fired. You know, shut up. He just got up here to the big leagues; when you make a comment like that about a cheap shot, you don't know the game. ... Tell Mr. Hill to shut up and pitch before he gets sent down.

 

 

All Hill was doing was defending Barrett.

[cubweiser03]

Nice Pic

Hail To The Victors.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

ward is a beast against vasquez

 

lots of people are these days

[IWU_CUBS_FAN]

just cuz i won't be there doesn't give you (the cubs) the right to be a bunch of suckin losers...JUST WIN!!!

[Andy]

Hill's going to pitch great.

 

Everyone does against these losers.

They should. They usually own Vazquez. The 16-7 win on Opening Day 2005 was probably the most memorable.

I've learned to never assume anything based on past success either by us or the rest of the league.

[Omar]

I'm really surprised Fox hasnt picked up this game. It's on Saturday, and this series usually brings in good ratings.

[Marco4]

I think the Cubs should decide to stop sucking, just like Z did.

[E.J.]

It's probably because both the Sox and Cubs are terrible and Fox would rather show teams that aren't little league caliber.
