Chicago Cubs Vs. Manny Parra

Never faced 'em.

[Guest]

Thanks Fred.

[TysonCBulls423]

Fred brings us a W

Guaranteed

[soccer10k]

Gotta win this one.

[C.C.]

Going to the game - box seats 3rd row. I can see the loss up close.

 

Cubs get killed in this game 8-2.

[Schwarber Fan]

Lineup is gonna be:

 

Soriano

Theriot

Lee

Ramirez

Monroe

DeRosa

Jones

Kendall

Lilly

[Fred Hornkohl]

Lineup is gonna be:

 

Soriano

Theriot

Lee

Ramirez

Monroe

DeRosa

Jones

Kendall

Lilly

 

Look for Jacque Jones in the 8th spot.

yea you're right... my bad

 

although he did have a hit off the lefty Shouse last night.

[Schwarber Fan]

I wonder if Lou would consider a Soriano-Monroe-Murton OF?

 

doubt it

 

anyway, I think the offense breaks out tonight. Soriano, Ramirez, and Monroe go yard.

[inari]

This is as much of a must win game as you'll get without actually being one.

[C.C.]

Agreed! All Lilly has to do is do what he's been doing. Bust these guys inside.

[UMFan83]

Cubs lose 9-2

[apete6]

Lilly tells Zambrano he's the Ace

 

Cubs 4-2

[CUBZ99]

Who is the Parra? Is he a soft tossing junk baller?

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

A win would be nice here.

 

And hopefully, it's coupled with a Cardinals loss.

[rawaction]

Who is the Parra? Is he a soft tossing junk baller?

 

Nope. Hard throwing, top prospect.

[C.C.]

Who is the Parra? Is he a soft tossing junk baller?

 

Nope. Hard throwing, top prospect.

 

Does it matter? He throws with his left arm, thus we can't hit the dude.

[CubmanPi]

Who is the Parra? Is he a soft tossing junk baller?

 

Nope. Hard throwing, top prospect.

Threw a perfect game in AAA this year too. Either he'll be gone by the end of the 4th or he's going to pitch a complete game in about 75 pitches.

[E.J.]

I'll be in the bleachers tonight which means the Cubs will probably lose.

[Roast]

Certainly glad I wasted 40-some dollars on bleacher tickets last night.

 

Anyway, I'll be on for tonight. It may be a little late (midnightish?) before I get the game thread up but no worries, it will go up.

[BigSlick]

This is getting close to a "must-win" game.

[E.J.]

This is getting close to a "must-win" game.

 

How so? Even if we lose tonight we're still going to be in 1st place.
