6/25 Rockies (Francis) vs CUBS (Marquis), 7:05p, CSN, XM184

[Sammy Sofa]

Marquis, swallow the suck down for at least one game. Thanks.

 

um....what?

 

Marquis' suckiness is equivalent to him vomiting his crappy pitching all over the field, so I'm asking him to keep it down this time.

 

D'uh.

[IWU_CUBS_FAN]

just because I won't be at the game doesn't give you (the cubs) the right to be sucking losers. JUST WIN!!!

[Butterscup1679666578]

Not to get too premature, but this should be an easy series win (if not sweep). However, lets just get this one under our belts first. Go Cubs Go.

 

You do realize the Rockies have a better record then the Cubs.

 

Yes. I stand by what I said. This is a team we should take 2 out of 3 from, if not sweep.

[Derwood]

During today's (Sunday's) post-game interview, Lee sounded like it would be a few weeks before his appeal is heard, so there is zero chance he misses this series (or the Brewers)

yes, the cubs should do that if they're a good team, which they're not.

Shweet. Now if he can just promise to not have too many games like Sunday's...

Great news.

[killthegoat06]

Any word on which pitcher is coming up and which position player is leaving?

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

I have a bad feeling about this game.

[BigSlick]

I have a bad feeling about this game.

 

Why? It's basically in the loss column already, so anything better than that and I'll be happy.

[Balsa]

C'mon Cubbies. Let's go on a tear.

Yeah, if we win tomorrow I'll be happily surprised.

[Brian]

Yeah it took just over a month for Matt Capps to have his appeal go through so I think Lee has 2 or 3 weeks till he hears anything.

[IWU_CUBS_FAN]

CUBS are on a pace to draw 495 walks this year..... compared to 395 last year and 419 in '05

 

The Reds have taken over sole possession of first place, while the CUBS drop yet another game behind..........

Go CUBS !!

 

amazing what taking walks does compared to giving them up a lot...

 

and those damn white sox got fat on cubs pitching this weekend picking up some ground and putting some distance between themselves and some teams

[Friendly Confines]

Augusta, eh Fred? Big golfer?

[soccer10k]

CSN? How disappointing.

[sunnydoo]

Lets Rock Francis.

 

 

Geaux Cubbies!

 

 

Edit: This may be 14-13, so the weak of heart might not want to watch. Just hope i dont lose my temper driving listening to XM.

Greetings once again from beautiful Augusta, GA !!

 

Are you delivering there or just stopping over? Where in town are you? I hope it doesn't smell TOO much like Augusta right now.

[CubmanPi]

Oh yea, and I love how, right as Z steps up to be our losing streak stopper, Marquis' magic dust wears off and he is now our bona fide winning streak stopper.

 

PLEASE don't suck tomorrow Marquis.

[seanimal]

Game Thread start, here I come.

No.... haven't played golf in over 30 years. This is strictly business.

Busted my tail to get here Saturday night..... only to find out that I can't deliver this damned load until this morning !!! I had visions of dropping this trailer and getting another and being 1500 miles from here by now. Oh well.

 

Found a motel up by the intersection of I-20 & I-520; used to be a Howard Johnson, but now an Indian gentleman owns it. It's clean, has truck parking, free wi-fi, and WGN on the cable system.... so it passes my rigorous standards.

 

My perfect record is still intact, though..... every time I come to Augusta, you're not here !!!
