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

[Iceblink]

So the wind is blowing in? Better for Marquis than it is for Webb.

 

NCAA 08 is pretty schweet. I wish the 360 version had some of the old-gen features (create a team, div 1aa, alt unis), but it's still worth getting. The Campus Legend mode is pretty fun, though some positions aren't really all that interesting to play.

Before anything gets too on-topic anyone else can't help but staring at Billy Petrick's crazy looking beard tan-line?

Lou said that Dempster will only pitch in an emergency situation today.

I think he pitched recently, so that's not too much of a suprise. Demp should be ready tomorrow I assume.

So Dempster, Lee, and Floyd make it essentially a 22 man roster today, yikes.

Wind blowing in, and DBacks are low-power. If Marquis can't pitch well this game, we really are in trouble with him.

one more off topic question: has anyone actually known someone who has won the "how far did it fly" thing? It has to be on it's 15th year by now and they make it sound like they give a free flight for every home run the cubs hit.

[David]

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

 

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

 

C Blanco

1B Mabry

2B Perez

SS Cedeno

3B Ramirez

LF Murton

CF Pierre

RF Jones

 

This one's pretty bad, too.

With today's lineup...I'm expecting a 9-8 W :lol:

[RonnieWooWooSanto]

That would have been a cool picture to take....with the construction workers hoisting the American Flag & Cubs flag as Wayne and his wife sing the national anthem.

[Bote McBoteface]

Well...much better National Anthem than yesterday. That's a good sign, right?

I honestly think Lou will stop putting up with Marquis if he continues not being able to go five. Lord only knows who would step in, but I doubt Lou cares how much money Jason's making.

I could be wrong but I think it's rosacea.

[Mizzou]

Gracie is awesome.

[inari]

Gracey?! YES! I didn't know they welcomed him back.

 

Would've liked a bigger ovation from the crowd...

[TysonCBulls423]

Didn't Lee hit for the cycle against the Marlins in that one game when Sergio Mitre shut them out?

[soccer10k]

Good lord that lineup is horrendous. Oh well, we'll see how it goes.

[GlassCow]

My boy Grace threw a strike. What more needs to be done to ensure a Cub victory? This is in the bag boys and girls.

Well, he could put on a mitt and man first base.

[Iceblink]

Moore wearing number 4 and showing the high blue socks. Noice.

 

If I had shown you this lineup in March, would you have thought I was showing you Iowa with Soriano and Ramirez on rehab assignments?

[BigSlick]

I'm super glad the same umps from yesterday are there again today. OH wait, no I'm not.

 

THis is gonna be a tough game with our mini-line up, Marquis starting, and Brandon Webb starting. :?

I'll bet he can play first base better than he color commentate. I love the guy, but he is absolutely attrocious in the booth.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Marquis vs Webb...I don't think it will be our line-up that costs us this game.
