8/25 Cubs (Lilly) @ Dbacks (Davis) 8:40CT WGN

ctcf · August 25, 2007

So I got bored waiting for our freshly moved into college roast to make this. That and I am DETERMINED to get a gamethread win. If he wants he can make a new thread for todays game and someone can just merge this to it, I care not. Ted can hopefully channel the power of being able to hold one facial expression for the entirety of his lifetime into a win today.

TODAY'S MATCHUP:

THEODORE ROOSEVELT LILLY

http://inlinethumb57.webshots.com/2296/1129371854054458518S425x425Q85.jpg

13-6, 3.88 ERA, 132K/46BB, 1.17 WHIP

Doug Davis

http://www.cbc.ca/gfx/topstory/sports/davis_doug030515.jpg

10-11, 4.22 ERA, 107K/81BB, 1.60 WHIP

We clearly have the better pitcher so we should clearly win. Ted is the only Cubs pitcher to ever win with me in attendance, so obviously they got this one.

TODAYS LINEUP: IF NSBB HAD RUN THE COBS!

SS - Ronny Cedno

CF - Felix Pie!

1B - Hee Seop Choi

LF - Jason DuBois

RF - MATT MURTON

2B - Bobby Hill

C - Geovany Soto

3B - David Kelton

P - Angel Guzman

2.5 would be cool. Win, clowns.

I assume Craig Monroe will start tonight

Andy · August 25, 2007

This will almost certainly be the NLDS matchup this year if the Cubs win the division. Either the Dbacks end up with the best record and can't play a wildcard from the West, or the Mets end up with the best record and the Dbacks are matched up with the Cubs in the 2/3 anyway.

CubColtPacer · August 25, 2007

I assume Craig Monroe will start tonight

He is. In the game notes from yesterday, they said he would be starting in RF tonight. My guess is that the OF will be Murton/Jones/Monroe tonight.

The lineup will probably look something like this:

Theriot

DeRosa

Lee

Ramirez

Monroe

Murton

Kendall

Jones

Lilly

Maybe he'll flip something on tonight, but if the Cubs win this one I'd love to see Lee sit tomorrow and get 2 days off...so win, jerks!

J.R. · August 25, 2007

ESPN says Yusmeiro Petit is up tonight for Arizona, and that Davis will take the ball tomorrow.

SS - Ronny Cedno
CF - Felix Pie!
1B - Hee Seop Choi
LF - Jason DuBois
RF - MATT MURTON
2B - Bobby Hill
C - Geovany Soto
3B - David Kelton
P - Angel Guzman

Who? :D

salukifudd · August 25, 2007

Diamondbacks.com have Davis starting, as does Cubs.com. Last night on Comcast postgame, they had Petit pitching, so who knows.

BigSlick · August 25, 2007

This is pretty incredible:

CUBS are 14-12 when Lilly starts

Yet his record is 13-6.

CubInOK · August 25, 2007

I still can't believe Arizona is still being outscored this season.

CubmanPi · August 25, 2007

I still can't believe Arizona is still being outscored this season.

I have a harder time believing their insistence on such a winning record while being outscored than I do with the fact that they're being outscored in the first place. Pat pointed out last night that the DBacks are 14 games over .500 against three teams in the east and are playing pretty much .500 baseball otherwise.

Brian · August 25, 2007

I think Theodore gets back on tract tonight and throws a good one.

vance_the_cubs_fan · August 25, 2007

I hope Lilly has his good stuff tonight.

ESPN lies. Never believe them.
