Pitching matchup:

Jason Marquis: 9-7, 4.18 ERA, 140 IP, 131 hits, 78 K's/55 BB's

 

For a game on August 16th, it's as much of a must-win game as it can be. Being swept by the lowly Astros and the crappy Reds in a week's span would be extremely bad. After Lilly's poor start today, we really need Marquis to have a somewhat decent start. If he doesn't, it looks like the Cubs will fall to .500 as this awful month continues.

 

Just don't lose, you stupid idiots.

My best friend growing up (who is a huge cubs fan) turns 21 today.

 

That has to help with some good mojo, right?

 

If not, at least he can legally drink himself into a stupor to deal with the cubs inability to do anything worthwhile.

Can Kendall hit a HR again?!

Since I'm up after Flames for the Game Thread starting, I think I'll start planning out my thread soon. After all, I'll be able to start it in around 15 hours after the Cubs lose this game.

my caring is fading fast.

If the Cubs don't make the playoffs, I want them to have one of the worst 15 records in baseball so their first round pick is protected.

[TysonCBulls423]

Cubs win 10-4 en route to a 5 game winning streak. O:)

[inari]

Complete apathy. Won't watch a second of it.

[Smack]

who cares

[CubmanPi]

I'm so pissed that I already spent so much money getting good seats for some games next week. Cubs will be in fourth place by then.

[Andy]

How the hell are we STILL only 1 1/2 games out of first?

[Cynosure]

Cubs AND Brewers are going to win today making us gain no ground.

 

On the brighter side... this game is nice and early.

[Southpaw191679666239]

What this team needs is a nice winning streak to get things rolling again. If only there were someone who had a 7-game win streak for Game Threads who could pinch-hit to try to get some good mojo back again.... http://www.northsidebaseball.com/PremiumForum/images/smiles/eusa_whistle.gif

The entire NL Central may be in the bottom 15 records in baseball.

heck, this is the Central. Let's shoot for both :D

[pitchcs]

Can we please get Southpaw19 back as the game thread starter? At least he could win.

[Soul]

Meh. Apathy is setting in.

Cause we all know that pick will turn out real well.

[Cynosure]

Hahahha pitchcs wins the thread, congratulations.

But they are.

[Marco4]

Why is it always Jason Marquis when its convenient for me to watch the game? Why do I have to torture myself to see Z or Ted Lilly (lose)?
