5/11 Snakes (Gonzalez) @ Cubs (Gallagher) 1:20PM WGN

First place is a beautiful thing.

 

As far as the rotation goes, will Lieber be skipped or will he pitch Wednesday?

I would guess skipped for sure, as we have had 2 rotational "off days" with the day off Thursday, and today with Gallagher.

 

I'm guessing the matchups will be:

 

Zambrano vs. Wolf

Marquis vs. Estes (yay, the game I'm going to....)

Lilly vs. Peavy

Dempster vs. Maddux

 

WGN today had Lilly pitching Wednesday, ESPN has him going Thursday

Fan on the field? what the hell?

Anyone wanna take a guess whose section that jackoff came out of?

 

(I'll give you a hint. Mine.)

 

 

Effing moron. I was up four rows dealing with another fan and when i turned around he was climbing over the wall. I'd had problems with him the whole game and could have kicked him out the inning before but I was being nice and let him stay. We see how well that turned out.

Haha so it's YOUR fault! :D

Shoot, if good Lilly sticks around, we might be going for 7 straight. But if Cobs come back, who knows.

Haha yep. All mine.

 

It was funny though - the rest of the game every time any of my supervisors walked by they just laughed at me. Cause it's one of those things that once they're in the basket - you just let them go. They're going on the field anyway so there's no use risking your own injury to stop them. So there's really nothing you can do about it. They'll be spending the night in jail anyway. Oh well.

With that win we go above the .500 mark in non-Pirates games. 6-0 against the pirates, 16-15 vs. everyone else.

 

Cubs go undefeated vs. the Pirates, they can go .500 against the rest of the league and still win 95.

Pirates are 17-13 against everyone but the Cubs. So not like they have been terrible or anything.

[TruffleShuffle]

wait who is estes? SHAWN estes????

[rawaction]

wait who is estes? SHAWN estes????

 

Yes, Shawn F. Estes will start on Tuesday for the Padres. I believe he took the roster spot of Glendon Rusch too last week.

man, that team sucks

[RedFlash]

Marquis vs. Estes (yay, the game I'm going to....)

 

Oh man, who did you sleep with to get tickets for such a legendary matchup? :lol:

[Keener98]

Has there been any word on what we're going to do with the rotation? Zambrano will go tomorrow, but are we going to skip Marquis or Lieber?

 

Either way, with us facing Wolf, Estes, Peavy, and Maddux, and the Padres struggling like they are, we should easily be able to take 3/4.

 

 

Just like we easily shouldve taken 2/3 or swept Wash?

This was the 3rd three game series the Cubs have swept out of the 4 that Zambrano has NOT pitched in.

Yes, exactly like that. Hopefully we actually do it this time.

Nice series. Our bullpen sucked miserably.

Don't feel bad, C24Y, you're team is still plenty talented, and we were fortunately not to face Webb. You guys sound rebound nicely with your next series.

We'll see you in Arizona, buddy. And quite possibly again in October.

We just assumed it was you. Disgruntled employee and all.

I was just trying to run over and shake Reed Johnson's hand :(

To be fair the Dbacks didn't face Z.

I'm confused. The Cubs have only had 3 three game series sweeps (vs. Pit, @ Pit, vs. Ari) to my knowledge...

Yes, and all three were series in which Zambrano did not pitch. There was only one other series in which that happened (@Stl I think). So, the Cubs have swept 3 of the 4 three-game series in which Zambrano didn't pitch (The Mets sweep was a 2-gamer in which Z did pitch).
