7/18 Giants (Cain) at CUBS (Big Z), 1:20 PM CT, WGN

[CubmanPi]

Ron: I may have pinch hit with the Cubs once or twice, but I don't remember ever doing it.

 

Pat: Cory Provost is handing me a note here, which says that Ron Santo, in his career, appeared as a pinch hitter 982 times. I'm surprised you don't remember any one of them, Ron.

 

:lol:

[AllStarMe]

I'd have liked to see Sori dropped down in the order today, considering the lack of power in this lineup.

 

Way to suck, Ward.

[C.C.]

This offense is going to do nothing against Cain.

 

I get that feeling also. Z better keep the PC low and not give up anything.

This is going to be a very low scoring game at least from the Cubs' end. There's no way the lineup is going to generate much off of Cain.

That is hillarious.

And I hope the same could be said about Giants lineup against Z

[inari]

...why Z? I know it's the pitcher next, but just go after the sub .200 hitter.

I hope we wake up soon. I don't want to lose two to the freaking Giants.

[Magnetic Curses]

why is he walking a guy who can't hit?

[CyHawk_Cub]

Ugh...I was hopeful about this game before the lineups were released, but I don't think we're gonna get this one....even if Z is pitching in the 9th.

Don't forget the game tomorrow. It's a must win today.

[Alfonso Soriano]

why is he walking a guy who can't hit?

All 9 players on their team can't hit.

[soccer10k]

Cain hitting .032 on the year.

[CyHawk_Cub]

He's a Cub?

[Magnetic Curses]

true, but against us they sure can walk.

[98navigator]

Blah, walking the 8th place hitting with a pitcher hitting under .100 is no good. Cain could have leadoff the next inning.

[C.C.]

PC 38 after 2.

[gflore34]

The only way the Giants are going to score is if Zambrano cannot find the strike zone and issues a few BB's.

[Magnetic Curses]

we should make cain work, at least, if we aren't going to hit.

BB was swearing that Z was disappointed that Barroids isn't in the lineup. Perhaps this is Z's way of challenging himself?

[Soriano12]

we should make cain work, at least, if we aren't going to hit.

 

Relax, I told you Jock would hit a HR today.

[inari]

And how are we gonna score?

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Score some runs, bitches!
