4/17 Dusty Baker's Reds (Volquez) @ Cubs (Lilly) 1:20 WGN

[Fred Hornkohl]

If we manage to pull off a win with this pitching matchup tomorrow, we might have to abolish the "blame CT" shtick forever.

 

Not to worry.... we can always start to blame David, no ?

[Little Slide Rooter]

This is 0 doubt in my mind that we'll win tonight and lose tommorow. While Josh Fogg may as well be a T Ball stand, especially with the wind blowing out, we have tat Edison whatsit Thursday, and anytime you hear the words promising young pitcher, the Cubs may as well not even show up to play.

 

 

I stand by it.

[Derwood]

i have chosen to sit Ted Lilly on my fantasy team today, so I expect a perfect game with 17 K's

[C.C.]

Well, I'm glad we took the first 2 games...

[Little Slide Rooter]

Hopefully DeRosa and Theriot can continue the Brian Who? Campaign.

[Jon]

I sure wish I could ditch work this afternoon. There are some really good seats available on cubs.com, including half-price bleachers with the college discount code. And it's a value game.

 

I just pulled up 2 in the 10th row right behind home.

[soapy]

Let's get things turned around starting today, Teddy.

[C.C.]

I'd call it a successful game if Lilly gets through 5 innings.

[JWCUB]

Lilly had better keep the ball DOWN. Mistakes up will go a long way today.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

time for a meltdown from Edinson

[Derwood]

remember when we were 1-3 and the season was over?

 

8-2 over the last 10 with Pittsburgh coming to town.

 

Let's keep up with the .800 clip!

[C.C.]

How the hell are we not in 1st place? Damn Cards!

[YearofDaCubs]

Winning 2/3 isn't bad.

We lead the Wild Card by a game. (Ok, that is self admittance that I am a loser.)

Glad to see Hank in there. It's been a couple of days. Gotta get his .375 some PT

I really really hate this picture because Lou looks like he had a heart attack and was stuffed with that ridiculous open-mouthed expression.

 

I feel like evil moths are going to fly out of his mouth

[otis89]

Just win, losers.

If it makes you feel any better I checked the same information this morning.

No, but a dude who thinks a lot like him did. What I've seen from Lou this year is really not very encouraging.

Good to see we basically have five automatic outs in a row in Johnson, Blanco, P, Fontenot, and Theriot.

This whole "Lou works with Felix while benching him against RHP" thing better end. Very, very soon. Like tomorrow.

I'll be ok with it as long as it means he gets to take his lumps against lefties as well
