9/27 - CUBS (Trachsel) @ Marlins (Olsen) - 3:05 PM CT WGNTV

Only 8 premium pages? You guys are pathetic

 

It's a day game.

 

>_>

Day game also means that Cubs have to win, because if they lose, I'm stuck in class and won't be able to polish off the rest of my bottle of scotch as consolation.

[Allroy]

Please show up offense. Please.

[Soul]

Alright Cubs, that was really funny with you losing 2 in a row and freaking everyone out.

 

Haha.

 

But now it's not funny anymore so start winning ballgames or there's going to be people jumping off buildings and stuff back in Chicago.

[Derwood]

I go on vacation and you guys messed up my Game Thread mojo

[E.J.]

I'm nervous. Play well Cobs.

[TruffleShuffle]

trachsel has already given up 2 runs, and the game hasn't started yet

I'd jump out of my apartment, but it's slightly below ground level. I'd have to climb out first.

I must say, over lunch I was just listening to Murph. Yes I know sometimes he's not the brightest guy, but...

 

He was saying, "and I don't buy that Lou's going to play Kendall all these games. He's just pumping up Kendall, saying 'you're my guy' but in reality he'll play Soto more than he's saying."

 

...and presto, Soto's in the lineup. That's not a bad call. It was in the midst of Steve Stone ranting for about 10 minutes about Kendall's inability to throw out runners, too.

 

I wouldn't look too much into this since it's a day game after a night game.

Guys who have failed trying to beat the Marlins:

Marshall x 2

Marquis x 2

Lilly x 2

Angel Guzman

Kerry Wood

Greg Maddux

 

If Trachsel is the one to put an end to this 9-game Marlins losing streak, I will laugh.

 

LAUGH.

You didn't start Sunday's game and the Cubs still won that one.

[Outshined_One]

Soriano swings at the first pitch?

 

Who knew??

[Post Count Padder]

Alright, can we win a game?

[soccer10k]

Since we're facing a lefty, why not Murton in right, Monroe in center and Jacque on the bench? Or Jones in center and Murton in right? Ugh.

[CubsBears29]

I don't even know how the Cubs can begin to think of facing the Marlins... those fans disguised as empty seats have to be the most intimidating atmosphere ever!!!

[E.J.]

Does Soriano ever take a pitch?

[Outshined_One]

Was that a 60 mph pitch?

[inari]

If we lose today, kittens will die.

[Post Count Padder]

Great start

[Soul]

I shouldn't watch this. It's going to kill me and I need to get work done.

[CubsBears29]

Alright, can we win a game?

 

CAN we? Yeah.

 

WILL we? Err, uh... uhmm...... maybe?

[Outshined_One]

If we lose today, kittens will die.

 

:shock:

 

You do know what that is a euphemism for, right?

[Moonlight Graham]

I am going to be so pissed if the Cubs don't win today!

[Soul]

If we lose today, kittens will die.

 

Indeed. Think of the kittens.

[soccer10k]

Please can we beat this guy:
