9/10 Cardinals (Pineiro) @ Cubs (Lilly) 2:20 WGN

[inari]

As irrational as it probably is, I'll pretty much lose any hope I have left if we don't win today.

[B]

2nd place LOL!!!

We pretty much have to win every single came from here on out to give us a chance.

 

In all seriousness.

 

Not really.

[gerby23]

I'm very excited about this game. Tomorrow in general, really.

 

1:20 - Cards-Cubs

6:00 - Bengals-Ravens

9:15 - 49ers-Cardinals

 

My whole day is set.

 

Tomorrow calls for skipping class and blowing money on carry-out pizza.

 

And beer, don't forget beer. Most likely you'll need it.

 

 

Man does that sound like a good idea.

 

Hey I woke with a Bloody Mary and cold pizza. Beer in 52 minutes and counting...

I apologize again. It is technically Bob Sanders turn, and I am on deck. I should have made the start today, but I am still jetlagged from Europe and I was so depressed at the Bears/Cubs losses yesterday that I went to bed at 9:30 PM, so I wasn't up to make the start. I will go ahead and put up a thread immediately after the Cubs next loss (if they do indeed lose again this year ;)) because Bob seems to be MIA

 

I PMed Bob two days ago. Go ahead and start the thread no matter what (unless you think it's good mojo to keep going if the Cubs win today).

I thought Kendall was hitting 287 for some reason. This isn't my favorite lineup but it's what have to root for so let's take it Cubs!

Cy Piniero - 9ip, 0h, 0bb, 26 k's.

 

CONSERVATIVE PROJECTION

[gerby23]

I like Sori and JJ's numbers against Piniero and JJ's in particular against the Cards.

Go Cubs

CONSERVATIVE PROJECTION

 

Pessimist.

[E.J.]

No mention of Floyd batting in front of Aram?

 

I figured there would be uproar over the fact that our new cleanup hitter is an old crotchety slap hitter.

See? You had me until you said Soriano.

[CuseCubFan69]

Watching Matlock just pumps me up big time before a Cub game!

[abuck1220]

clean up hitter is slugging like .330.

I don't get that either...does he have good #s against Pinero?

I was thinking a Kendall ground out.

I think he's lost some weight, oh slugging.

That I could believe

[CuseCubFan69]

I think Kendall strength is going with a pitch and he seems to be trying to pull the outside pitches. I hope he can adapt soon because him playing over Soto right now isn't really going with the hot hand by any means. I was hoping Soto would pull a Fontanot and hit 350 only add some power.
