8/28 Cubs (Hill) vs. Brewers (Suppan) 7:05 CT CSN

[C.C.]

I can not wait til tomorrow night to make the 4 hour trip from wisconsin to see my 2nd cubs game at wrigley........Im so pumped. 4 of us goin and Im the only cubs fan..........please cubs dont make it a long ride home for me on thursday!!!

 

I have 4th row behind the Cubs batting circle for Thursday's game. Hopefully I can bring my broom.

Rich Hill has looked great lately. The Brewers hit him and lefties well. Something has to give.

 

While the Brewers have been slumping, their bats against lefties have not. Since August 1st, the Brewers have faced 6 lefties, and this is their line in those games:

 

.282/.339/.462/.801

 

I am too lazy to calculate the stats against just righties, but this is their overall numbers in August:

 

.261/.310/.480

Just got back from the dentist. They were poking needles and drilling around and scraping and doing who knows what, but I couldn't think about anything but this series. Yea, it's all fine and dandy that the Cubs are involved in important games at the end of August, but it'd be REALLY nice if they can actually win said important games.

 

Dont suck, Cobs!!

Lose again, see what happens.

 

PS I hate CSN. I want to watch this series :evil:

[Alfonso Soriano]

Everyone pumped? 1.5 games separates these two teams!!!

8 games separate the Red Sox and Yankees.

I guess MLB.com doesn't care

[FeArThEbEaRd]

Thats real encouraging thank you

[Bixby]

I don't really understand why this is a night game. Oh well.

Im glad this whole series is night games. Most people have to work during the day,so its going to be awsome to see these games.The atmosphere is going to be insane

[FeArThEbEaRd]

well anyone of you guys watching the game maybe want to give some inning recaps for some of us that have to work tonight

[David]

To be fair, the Red Sox (in particular) and Yanks are much better teams.

 

But I suppose this battle of mediocrity in the Central should be more exciting with the closeness of the race.

Carmen goes back down to make room for Soriano. Hill passes through waivers without being claimed and returns to AAA. -Per 670 the Score Edited August 28, 2007 by salukifudd

Plus its been shown time and time again that it doesn't matter how good you are when the postseason starts, you just have to be there to have a chance.

Uh oh, Plesac just said wind is howling straight out, and balls are going to be flying out. This is most likely going to be an offensive game, which doesnt favor us.

Look out, warning track!! (Except for Jason Kendall and Daryle Ward, who might find the basket once between them.)

MAYBE WE CAN REINCARNATE THIS GUY, AND START HIM IN RIGHT FIELD:

I never realized how incredibly lame CSN is until I moved to college where (though being in the heart of chicago) we don't have CSN.

 

Also, I was thinking about just heading up to wrigley tonight and watching from the RF peep-hole. It's between that and hanging out with this girl. I'm leaning towards the girl as it has a better chance of ending well.

[Derwood]

slightly off topic, but did Cynosure get banned or something? i'm startled that there aren't 1000 more posts by him today

I get CSN in Iowa. You don't get it in Chicago? Where do you go?
