[Butterscup1679666578]

Wow what a win! 4-0 since the break, and this team now thinks they can win every game, I love it. Let's keep this rolling against Zito tomorrow, and hopefully we will be patient against him.

Thank God we didn't get Zito. Even though I'm not expecting much, I'm always excited to see new Cubs make their debut and Kendall is no exception. Hopefully he returns to being the OBP machine he's been for so long.

 

Don't suck Cubs!

[TysonCBulls423]

Welcome Kendall! He's seen Zito this year...went 1/4 with a K.

 

Go Cubs Go! Let's make it 5!

For the game thread lotter, we continue with a former Cub and this time Giant theme and offer up an autographed card of the Shooter, the late Rod Beck. This card features Beck in his Giants uniform.

 

Just post in the game thread and if the Cubs win, you have a chance.

[Bruno7481]

I'll be there tomorrow night and Wednesday. Hoping for another two wins. The last game I attended was the Rockies comeback fiasco.

 

Here's hoping to me coming home with a 4-0 record while I am in attendance.

[CubColtPacer]

Well, Soriano has not been so good against Zito in his career. 5 for 36 with 1 2B, 4 BB's, and 12 K's. Ouch.

[Andy]

Here's hoping the magic new lefty lineup works again!

[CubmanPi]

Marshall has struggled a bit lately. Hopefully this Giant offense does for him what it did for Hill.

[C.C.]

Zito will resort to his Cy Young days and shut us out with a CG gem. Cubs lose this game and the next three....

I'm glad I'm in on this joke. Otherwise I might be depressed by the pessimism. :D ;)

 

Let's win 5 in a row, 17 of 21, and go 27-12 since June 3.

[Omar]

Hendry got us Kendall because the Cubs are about to face Zito. Kendall caught Zito for 2 years. He knows what he'll throw and in what situation he'll do it in, dude.

GO CUBS

 

Welcome to the team Kendall. Please play the 2 spot and get on base a lot.

GO CUBS

 

Welcome to the team Kendall. Please play the 2 spot and get on base a lot.

With the season he's having, I'd much prefer to see him start out at the bottom of the order and work his way up to the second spot.

yea, sportsnight said Lou wanted to start him out in the 7th spot...which i don't mind

[CyHawk_Cub]

Keep it rolling Cubbies75!!! Kendall: you better not suck like I think you will....

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

When the Cubs played the A's in interleague a couple of years ago, didn't we hit Zito fairly well?

I don't remember but I do know that everyone has been manhandling him this year. Hopefully, the Cubs will join in the fun. :D

Yup. The Zambrano/Zito match-up.

 

Box Score

 

5 IP, 4 ER, 3 BB, 2 K, 1 HR... 110 pitches, 61 strikes.

 

That one homer was by Grudz.

[TruffleShuffle]

Welcome Kendall! He's seen Zito this year...went 1/4 with a K.

 

Go Cubs Go! Let's make it 5!

 

Yeah I think Kendall knows more about Zito than just what he's seen this year :lol:

 

I'm gonna go out on a limb that Jock won't be in the lineup. Facing a LHP with a big breaking ball... sounds like someone against whom Jock would be absolutely brutal.

Yet another solid move to rack up on Lou's solid move rack. If one so exsists. .

[Carlos Zambrano]

Lets get number 5 in a row! were now 3.5 out in the divsion and 2.5 in the WC. Should be awesome!

[rickrolled]

I was feeling all positive about the Cubs until I heard we got Kendall. Now I'm sure we will lose plenty of games in a row and fall out of the race.

 

plz quit Hendry
