7/20 Rattlesnakes (Webb) @ Chicago Cubs (Marquis), 1:20pm CT

[Derwood]

I hope I'm wrong, but I fear the Cubs getting swept in this series. The D'backs might be young and not hitting, but the Cubs just do not play Arizona well from year to year. On a good note, they do play them better at Wrigley versus playing in Arizona.

 

This is true. In 2004, when the Diamondback were absolutely awful, they still owned the Cubs.

 

And I believe in 2003 we had trouble beating them..

 

which is relevant, as the rosters are exactly the same now as they were then

[Omar]

Before this year we also had a boatload of trouble with the Giants. I'm not worried about the past, I'm worried about the present. We're the better team and we should take the series.

 

I can't think of an NL team that hasn't given the Cubs trouble in the Dusty Era.

You're not following the thread well are you?

I love our starting lineup for today....

That's cute.

If the Cubs ever had a chance to beat Webb with Marquis, it's during this run. Things that don't make sense are happening with this team right now, and they just might shock us again.

I just checked the lineup a minute ago, then ran to the bathrooom to throw up.

[Soriano12]

In 3 day games Webb has started this year...he has a 5.09 ERA

I'm sure I've seen a worse lineup before. I just can't remember when.

[bcruise]

Hope you're planning on throwing a no-no, Jason...

there's the bright side i've been searching for 8-)

 

Fontenot swells up with pride after finding out he's hitting third, then makes lou look like a genius as he drives in four. recap reads: Mike Fontenot pulls a Koyie Hill.

 

cubs win, everybody goes home happy and then gets drunk and plays NCAA Football 08.

Amen to that one!

Tomy, I bought it last night but haven't gotten around to playing it. Planning on starting a dynasty tonight or tomorrow though. Probably with my alma matter of East Carolina, they could use all the help they can get.

[bcruise]

I guess we're all too scared to post the lineup after looking at it (myself included)? :oops:

[Bruno7481]

Lou is putting the best lineup out there that he can depending on what he has to work with.

 

Just have to see what happens.

[inari]

It's a solid game. They improved a lot of the sloppy visual issues from last year, and the game play has some nice new touches. Running the ball has never been so fun.

[TysonCBulls423]

yeah NCAA is awesome. I really like the recruiting system.

 

Hey Fred, any way you can tell us what the Cubs' record is when Wayne Messmer does the God Bless America? :lol:

What are you talking about? It's already been posted.

[weis21]

I talked to a friend that said it was even better than past years, so i went out and bought it last night. that was my other question about the recruiting though. i had heard that they changed it up and added more features to it and i didn't want it to get too tedious, good to hear people like it though.

 

I posted the lineup a few pages back.

Fred's comp. might jam up because he's probably sang it 10,000 times.

Oh...I guess I didn't look far back enough.

 

Yeah, I see it now.

I heard it on Murph over lunch.

 

Fonty hitting 3rd. :lol:

 

Not much can be done given our current situation, so I'm not blaming anyone, but let's just say this game will be........interesting.

 

I do like that Lou plugs Moore right into the starting lineup. Why not?
