9/21 - Pirates (Maholm) vs. Cubs (Marquis) - CSN 1:20

[Roast]

OH CRAPOLA!

 

 

I forgot this was a 1:05 game. Maybe if I go run my errands real fast I can at least catch the first five or six innings of the game before I have to go catch the train home....Hmmm.

 

GO FREAKIN CUBS!

[Banedon]

I approve this lineup.

[cubweiser03]

Monroe has just been waiting til the games matter, like he did last year.

Trib said Jack Wilson might miss this series. Izturis time.

I'm liking that lineup today. Go Lou!

[Mizzou]

Solid lineup. I wish this game was on WGN though, so that I could lay on my couch and watch it rather than watch it on the computer.

[Derwood]

Meh, who would you start in CF against a lefty?

 

Felix Pie. He has to develop and grow as a player somehow, you know?

 

yes, and that time is Spring Training 2008

If ever there was a time for Craig Monroe to earn his keep, this weekend is that time.

Definitely. Most of the success in September so far has been from someone different stepping up every time. Sori, Ramirez, Cliff, Soto, Riot have all had big games.

 

Pittsburgh adjusted their rotation to throw three lefties at us, Monroe was brought in for his numbers against lefties. The time is now, Craig.

[GoCubsGo1679625768]

I'm predicting 2HR's and 5 RBI's from Monroe today.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Are Bay and Nady back yet?

[CubmanPi]

I predict someone in this thread will correctly predict a Cubs GIDP at least once today.

Sorry guys, chalk this one up as a loss (and a memorable one at that)...Jon's at the game and he's 0-2 w/ 2 blowup Z games on his resume this season.

I predict one actual DP for every five predictions. Go Cubs!

I predict five actual DPs for every one prediction.

I'm 2-1 this season, with my only loss coming on the day Z served up a meatball to Matt Cain. I saw Jason Marquis and Rich Hill pwn the other two days. Jon's just picking a new starter to get into the win column this season, I wouldn't worry too much.

[C.C.]

No Bay today?!?!?! SWEET!!!

[TruffleShuffle]

this game had better be on tv locally, or i'm boned... it'll definitely be blacked out on the computer

[Little Slide Rooter]

Ugly, ugly lineup for the Bucs today, not that thats ever come between the Cubs and a loss before.

Those numbers don't mean a loss. They just mean that he is due.

I'm more concerned because they've both been horrendously bad and memorable losses (the second of which being the Z being booed game).

 

Hopefully Marquis will bring good luck.

[Little Slide Rooter]

time to buckle up and hope for a smooth ride.

[CubmanPi]

Corey provost just wrapped up the pregame by saying "Pat hughes and Dave Otto will be back with you shortly."

 

Ron was losing his voice last time, and I guess the off day wasn't enough to recover. Dave Otto in the booth will definitely be bad mojo for the game.

You can't hit into that many DPs in a 9 inning game.

Well people...you're my eyes and ears out there so keep me up to date and please give me the scores once in awhile. Thanks!
