Couldn't wait a few minutes?

Assuming the Cubs win, please wait for me to start the next one, Fred... I won't be able to get around to it until tomorrow morning

You could always delete your post and re-post it after mine? :)

Just kidding, it's all good

I'd like to see us be able to hit Sampson for once. He has a 1.25 ERA career against us in 21 2/3 innings, and did a pretty good job against us earlier this year (6 2/3 IP, 2 R).

He's not going to walk very many people at all, around 2 BB's per 9 innings.

Against teams other than the Cubs, he's pitched 32 1/3 innings, given up 49 hits, and had an ERA of 7.16.

So whatever it is with this guy Cubs, just find a way to hit him. He's obviously throwing extremely hittable pitches.

2 Cubs have HRs career against Sampson... one being...

Jim Edmonds

Chris Sampson at Minute Maid Park this year:

--3 starts, 8 innings, 21 hits, 14 ERs, 5 BBs and 5 Ks.

Strangely enough, he is an extreme groundball pitcher, so he's only given up 1 HR. He has dominated the Cubs in the past. Still, this year's version of the Cubs should beat his head in.

Dempster has been hit hard by Berkman, but has just a 1.17 ERA and a .160 BAA vs. Houston. He's been just as good in MMP, but all those numbers coming as a closer.

Also of note, the Cubs don't have a winning streak that has ended at 2 games this year. This shouldn't be the first.

laurens · May 20, 2008

Go Cubs, hope Aram and DLee play as good as yesterday (well, at least like in the last few innings)

PrimeTime · May 20, 2008

I don't get how we can't hit Chris Freakin' Sampson..I was at the game last year when we faced him and he shut us completely down..The '08 Cubs better take care of this chump

So he's like the anti-Gorzelanny?

Hopefully the Cubs can get a huge lead in this game so that Lou is not tempted to use Marmol.

Let's rock him.

I have a feeling that Soriano will do something in his first AB...

Go Cubs!

I'm beginning to dislike WGN games. My choice is the Houston feed on HD or Len and Bob on regular old uggo tv.

C.C. · May 20, 2008

I'm calling out a Edmonds homer tonight.

CuseCubFan69 · May 20, 2008

I'm calling out a Edmonds homer tonight.

So, how are you going to call it?

Sorry. I'll take my banning and be a good boy.

Go Cubs!

I'm predicting he'll either make an out or get on base.

Bucknor is behind the plate tonight? Demp is gonna be on the opposing end of some BS calls, methinks.

Between Riley's blown HR call Sunday, and then both the bothched caught stealing and the bogus non-HR call in yesterday's Cub game, the umps are off to a great start this week.

Was it just me or did the strike zone seem to expand towards the later innings of last night's game?

I'm hoping we can take another one from the home team tonight.

Yeah it did. The zone was barely baseball sized in the first few innings

Win fools. Beat this punk.

Probably no Derrek Lee tonight. The day off should help.

erik316wttn · May 20, 2008

I thought that was tomorrow so he'd get 2 days off in a row.
