I haven't created a game thread all year. Hopefully I bring a little luck to this sinking ship...

Hopefully last outing was Zs wake up call. You can apologize all you want, but if you want to win the fans back, you know what to do. Maybe he needs to punch someone to get his grove back. How bout Will Ohman?

 

Meanwhile, the Brewers have Suppan vs. harang, so this is a case of the Cubs destiny being in their own hands.

Thankfully we're facing a RH pitcher tonight. We might have a chance. I see Snell has a better ERA than our ACE.

Once again the Cubs needing a big game from the supposed "Ace" of course, he'll fail deliver - pitches four shutout innings, in the fifth after retiring the first two hitters, walks 5 as the Pirates go on to put up 6 runs and win 7-0.

Ok........Ok.

 

Deep breath.

 

In.

 

Out.

 

 

Alrighty.

 

 

I'm ready now. Ready to get punked by another junk pitcher while watching our ace suck.

Note to Z:

 

Throw STRIKES and miss bats!!!

 

Try not to have a pitch count of 55 thru 2 in.

 

 

 

1 more thing, Cubs please start scoring some runs. Scoring is fun, try it. :wink:

Dear Z, Please don't suck. Since you haven't been listening to me the last few times I've made such a request, "suck" would be what you've done the last six starts. Stop it.

Z needs to step up and pitch like the ace that he supposedly is. This crap needs to stop now. Show us what you've got, Big Z.

I'll be at the La Tech-Hawaii game so I'll miss most if not all of this one. That's probably a good thing.

 

Any predictions on how many yards and TD's Brennen will throw for?

If they'd let him play the whole game, I'd say 800+. But since, they likely won't, I'm guessing 550.

Hopefully Kendall will stand up and demand 4 straight balls every time Bay comes to the plate with fewer than three men on base.

 

Because Macho Z always has to prove how tough he is and how he can get out Bay and fails miserably and bad things happen.
