the warriors of the North Side return to action Wednesday afternoon in an attempt to reverse the loss of Opening Day.

 

Taking the hill for the Cubs will be Theodore Roosevelt Lilly

who had a great first season with the Cubs and has a tough act to follow after Z turned in a sterling first start to the year.

 

Opposing him for the Beermakers will be Cardinals' defect Jeff Suppan

who enjoyed a much-too-successful 2.84 ERA against the beloved Cubs in 2007.

 

One can only hope this putz

receives an earholing from Lilly after doubling in two runs on Monday.

 

Go Cubs!!!

[JimSorgi]

I hope these losers don't even take the field.

[BCVM22]

Losing sucks. Let's not do it again.

[Little Slide Rooter]

The Good News: Suppan is more hittable than (a healthy) Sheets any day.

The Bad News: Lilly is more hittable than Zambrano.

 

Lets just hope that Lilly gets back to his old form of picking up wins after a loss that he had toward the end of last season.

I'm not working this game. If we win - there may be a problem...

Classic.

[Vanilla Ice]

I am guaranteeing a win on wednesday.

I do too. and a loss on Thursday.

Worst day ever tomorrow. Ted Lilly is the only Cubs pitcher I've seen win in person and therefore the Cubs will win.

[UMFan83]

How the hell are we only a game out of first?

[RedFlash]

Thank you. I personally believe the Cubs are simply going to rope Suppan into the ground. I'm think 10-1, 13-2 type game for the Cubs.

[otis89]

Um. Go Cobs?

Today was all your fault.

[Vanilla Ice]

Stop stealing my thunder, guys.

[UMFan83]

I think the Brewers take this one too. The Brewers kill lefties, and Lilly was 1-1 with a 5.29 ERA against them last year in 3 starts. Suppan is a crafty veteran. The Cubs suck against crafty vets. Suppan was 1-1 with a 2.84 ERA against the Cubs last year in 3 starts.

My thoughts exactly.

 

I'd still like a win, though.

Holy crap, I'd forgotten I used to post this.
