8/17 Cardinals (Looper) @ Cubs (Hill) 1:20 WGN

[CubmanPi]

Friday: Looper

Saturday: Reyes

Sunday: Wells

Monday: Piniero

 

 

If we can't beat these starters, we don't deserve squat.

 

Post of the day.

 

Gotta win three of four.

 

Totally agree. How can they be surging with that staff?

 

They have been surging due to Reyes, Wells, and now Piniero all pitching well. Since the AS break Reyes has an ERA+ of 151, Wells has an ERA+ of 125, and Piniero has an ERA+ of 160 in his 3 start.

Which is ridiculous. But, par for the course for that franchise.

TLR and Satan agreed on a mid-season contract extension.

I dont see how it is any different then what Jacque is doing right now. None of them are as bad as they were early in the season, and none of them are as good as they are playing now.

Actually, some of them actually are as bad as they were at the beginning of the season

And it's just Jacque for the Cubs. (I guess Marquis the first six-8 weeks or so counts too.) The Cards, like every year, are receiving miracles from their entire freaking rotation.

What the heck does strawberry pie have to do with anything?

Felix-flavored pie isn't as common. Or tasty.

Font had a 5 for 5 day back on 25 June, so might as well try to sustain that momentum too. :shrug:

I thought it was cherry pie because of Rocky Cherry and Felix Pie.

I realize he's only 1-9 vs Looper, in his career, but sitting a guy who went 5 for 5 the night previous?? Hmmm... sure hope this doesn't come back to bite Lou like pulling Lilly an inning (or 2) too early on Wednesday night.

 

EDIT: And you replace with Fontenot, who's not exactly ripping it up currently, and is 0-3 vs Looper. :-k

I know the pie posted was strawberry. I meant I thought the joke was cherry pie.

[Derwood]

pie jokes are so dumb. please stop

[cubbyvirus00]

wtf why sit DeRo? dumb

Yeah...I'd sure like to see him in there too....ride the streak....

With the Cards offense coming to life lately, I don't really have high hopes for Hill. I think the best we can hope for is that the cubs offense stays hot and they turn it into a contest of who's bullpen sucks less.

[BeerHere]

BeerHere: Hey Rich

Rich Hill: Yeah

BeerHere: Do you know how to get the Cubs fans to think you can do no wrong?

Rich Hill: What's that?

BeerHere: Dominate the Cardinals

Encarnacion has very good #s against lefties.
