8/24 Cubs (Marshall) @ Dbacks (Owings) 8:40CT CSN

[Roast]

So, i'm sorry this game thread is going to suck so bad but I just moved into my dorm today and i cant figure out how to get my darn internet connection to work. So right now i'm down in the rec. room mooching off of the Panera Bread wi-fi next door. Which means my battery on my laptop is dying. And fast.

 

Anyway, now that that useless personal story has been shared,

 

Don't lose today cubs.

[rickrolled]

It's gonna suck if Owings drives in like eight runs and pitches a gem

[otis89]

Go ahead. Lose. See if I care.

[C.C.]

This is a game we should win. Which means we'll lose.

[TruffleShuffle]

[killthegoat06]

Please win cobs. You're not facing Webb. Don't make the other starters look like Webb.

[CyHawk_Cub]

This series will not be good for us; seems like the Cubs hate trips to the dessert.

[Andy]

How the hell are we in first?

Hopefully Rich gets a PH appearance if we need a clutch hit late.

 

:lol:

Mmmmm, dessert.

 

Heading out there tonight, hope to catch the game tomorrow. Just win, you sadsack clowns.

[pitchcs]

This is a game we should win. Which means we'll lose.

 

 

Is it though?

[CubinNY]

This series will not be good for us; seems like the Cubs hate trips to the dessert.

Maybe they like them too much, if you know what I mean.

 

The Cubs are 29 and 44 Against the D-Backs

Ward and Eyre look like they love trips to the dessert.

The DBags own the Cubs. They are the one team I always feel the least comfortable about the Cubs playing. Well, the DBacks and the Reds.

I don't know what it is. We can't beat this guys. EVER!

[otis89]

The D'Backs also own Maddux for some strange reason. He's always sucked against them.

[gflore34]

Owings looks to be a bigger threat with his bat than his arm, the Cubs should win this game.

[anabiono]

awesome!!!

 

fielder serves his two game suspension today and tomorrow

 

hopefully that will aid the giants in handing them two losses...

 

i still don't really think this diamondbacks team is that good...they kind of remind me of atlanta...i just think both teams are suspect...

 

their hot streak will end with the cubs sweeping them into a desert cave

[tinkerstoeverstochance]

please don't play FonteNOt at 2nd today Lou.

 

That is all!!!

[TysonCBulls423]

please don't play FonteNOt at 2nd today Lou.

 

That is all!!!

 

He swung the bat pretty well yesterday. Since Lou always loves to play new guys as soon as they arrive, I'm betting the lineup looks like this...

 

Theriot

Jones

Lee

Ramirez

Floyd

Monroe

DeRosa

Kendall

 

Won't be watching the first hour or so. Hopefully I can come back and see a Cubs lead.

This series will not be good for us; seems like the Cubs hate trips to the dessert.

Maybe they like them too much, if you know what I mean.

 

The Cubs are 29 and 44 Against the D-Backs

 

The DBags own the Cubs. They are the one team I always feel the least comfortable about the Cubs playing. Well, the DBacks and the Reds.

 

Padres too. Don't we have just 2 wins against them in the last 2 years?

[Schwarber Fan]

please don't play FonteNOt at 2nd today Lou.

 

That is all!!!

 

He swung the bat pretty well yesterday. Since Lou always loves to play new guys as soon as they arrive, I'm betting the lineup looks like this...

 

Theriot

Jones

Lee

Ramirez

Floyd

Monroe

DeRosa

Kendall

 

Won't be watching the first hour or so. Hopefully I can come back and see a Cubs lead.

 

I think Monroe might PH today but I think he'll get his first start tomorrow against the lefty, Doug Davis.

 

Theriot

Jones

Lee

Ramirez

Floyd

DeRosa (Lou hates Murton and the GIDP didn't help I'm sure)

Fontenot (2-4, RBI yesterday)

Kendall

Marshall

 

...is my guess
