You guys realize if we win tonight you'll have to do the mega-quote in every game thread, right?

[Keener98]

Can we get back to talking about baseball?

Talk baseball at 1:20, I'm enjoying Mizzou and Keener bicker.

[Z38Cubs]

Hopefully, they can get this game finished before Alfonso Soriano(NSBB Poster) gets out of school.

If it results in a Cubs win, it would hardly be thankless.

Not bad. Wouldn't mind seeing that lineup with Soriano instead of Monroe as our normal lineup. Kendall for Blanco obviously as well.

I like that Jones is starting against a lefty again. An overall decent lineup (considering off days for Sori/Kendall), coupled with Wandy being unbelievably crappy on the road, is a recipe for a loss of craptacular fashion.

I just saw on ESPNs bottom line that the starting pitching matchup is Marshall vs. Patton. I'm assuming that's just a mistake on ESPNs part....

 

Anyone else hear anything about a possible switch in starters?

mlb.com still has Wandy pitching. I'm guessing it's just a mistake on ESPN's part. Wouldn't be the first time.

Yeah that's what I figured. espn.com has Patton in their match-up too, but if you go to the preview they talk about Wandy...so it's probably just a typo. Thanks...

[tinkerstoeverstochance]

espn's fubar they had the cubs a 1.5 lead on BBTN after the game was over too

[Mizzou]

I really like DeRosa hitting second. Not a big fan of Hank White batting 7th though. Hopefully it works out!

Good lineup considering the off-days. Maybe would switch DeRosa and Murton though.

I'm just bitter because I'm a Duke football fan.

[CubmanPi]

I'm just glad there's finally a day game. Gives me something to do other than what they're paying me for, because that's boring. (Doing my job is boring, not the getting paid part.)
