Keep it Rollin' Cubs!

[CubColtPacer]

The Cubs need this one. They face 4 left-handers this week (although thankfully Z starts in 2 of those games) and they need to beat up on the 3 right-handers they face.

[otis89]

Win again, you pathetic bunch of losers!

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Just win, bitches.

Go CUBS !!

i thought mike kablooie was pitching for the nats.

 

According to the probables, Micah Bowie pitches on Tuesday. :wink:

[Ding Dong Johnson]

we need to sweep these dudes for crying out loud

[Butterscup1679666578]

Seriously. We need to win at least 5 of the 7 vs. WASH and PIT, if not 6.

I'd be pretty happy with 5 considering they are on the road. I'm not sure it's quite fair (not saying you're doing this) to expect to win 6 out of 7 on the road against any opponents. 4-3 would leave me a little disappointed.

[sweetpeteman]

Bowie was originally going to be going today, but they moved back Simontacchi because they had three lefties going otherwise, signaling that they're idiots and fail to realize:

 

1. Simontacchi isn't that good.

2. The Cubs don't do well against lefties.

 

 

 

Yep, the Nats made the series easier.

 

 

Also, win you cowards, because I'm going to be there.

[Mizzou]

Didn't the Cubs sign Simontacchi this past offseason??

No. You didn't hear wrong. I heard Len say the same thing at the end of the broadcast today.

[CubmanPi]

The Nationals are not good. PLEASE don't suck, Cubs.

[inari]

This series has letdown written all over it. Let's see if these bunch of Cubs can do what it takes to be a playoff team and take out the trash.

 

Don't suck Cubs!

[ctcf]

Anything less than 3 of 4 is unacceptable Cobs.

[rabidawg900]

The Cubs need this one. They face 4 left-handers this week (although thankfully Z starts in 2 of those games) and they need to beat up on the 3 right-handers they face.

 

Can someone point me in the direction of a site where they show team splits vs Lefty or Righty pitchers???

CUBS are 8-11 against lefties..... 32-29 against right handers

If you go to ESPN.com team batting statistics, you can sort it against left-handers and against right-handers. Here are the Cubs splits:

 

vs right: .276/.337/.422 (5th in league)

vs left: .246/.303/.416 (11th in league)

 

Oh, and if you want record against right-handers and left-handers (like Fred so nicely provided) you can sort them on MLB.com Standings page by clicking on the vs L and vs R tabs above the standings.

[Sammy Sofa]

Ending the first half of the season with another 7 game win streak sounds like a good idea to me. Do it to it, Cubs!

[otis89]

If they win the rest of their games before the All-Star Break, it will be an 8-game streak, not 7. :wink:

[ctcf]

Why not 8 games?

[Sammy Sofa]

Whoops!

 

Me am count good.

Agreed.
