5/30 Rockies (Cook) @ Cubs (Lilly) 1:20 CSN & WGN Radio

[erik316wttn]

Wow. Four in a row. This team is hot, boys.

 

For this game, we have the Rockies' only decent starter, Aaron Cook

http://assets.espn.go.com/i/mlb/profiles/players/65x90/6981.jpg

7-3, 2.82 ERA, 1.20 WHIP

 

vs the resurgent (and apparently high) Ted Lilly

http://assets.espn.go.com/i/mlb/profiles/players/65x90/6223.jpg

5-4, 5.23 ERA, 1.34 WHIP

 

Let's make it an even 5. I'll miss most of the game because I work 8-5, but I'll hopefully be able to take my lunch late and listen to it on my last break.

 

Go Cubs!

[Butterscup1679666578]

lets get another.

[TruffleShuffle]

aaron cook is basically 90 cents worth of derek lowe, and we didn't do crap against lowe the other day. hopefully we can do better against this groundballer.

[Little Slide Rooter]

he owned us last time. This time the msjority of his offense is broken. Hopefully, no situations ill arise that call for glove throwing.

Cripes, Edmonds owns the guy. Guess that means he'll be in the lineup tomorrow.

[TruffleShuffle]

yeah but a lot of those hits probably came when edmonds could get around on a 90 mph fastball.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

I'll probably have to listen to this one on the XM as I make my way to North Richland Hills, TX.

Cripes, Edmonds owned the guy. Guess that means he'll be in the lineup tomorrow.

Fixed this for you. Oh, and Cook's WHIP is pretty encouraging. I don't know how he's getting it done in Coors field allowing that many baserunners, but he will not be able to sustain that sub-3.00 era.

[VanceJergins]

Looks like it might be a good day to give Ramirez a day off.

[Slugger_16]

This one might have some rain delays.

 

The potential for severe weather! South to southwest winds at 12-24 m.p.h. sweep warmth back into the area. Showers and potentially active thunderstorms in waves -- most notably in the morning and again later in the day. The heaviest storms may be capable of producing hail, powerful wind gusts and heavy rains. Clouds may break at times allowing some mixed sun between storm clusters.

 

We'll see how long the breaks will be.

[TruffleShuffle]

yeah the weather for this one is not looking promising :x

 

weekend games should be fine though.... might be a doubleheader on one of those days, i suppose

[killthegoat06]

I'm going....hopefully we get this one in and we win.

[inari]

I'm going....hopefully we get this one in and we win.

 

What he said.

[Schwarber Fan]

Holy cow! 13 for 15?!

 

If Edmonds doesn't have a good game today, he's probably toast.

[CubmanPi]

Holy cow! 13 for 15?!

 

If Edmonds doesn't have a good game today, he's probably toast.

That's 13 official AB in 15 PA. He's had hits in 7 of those 13 ABs, which is still pretty ridiculous, but not .860 ridiculous.

True - either way, today's his day. He's gotta go 3-4 IMO.

[C.C.]

The weather looks terrible.

 

Keep the ball rolling....

[UMFan83]

I don't think the Cubs win today unless a long rain delay knocks the starters out of this one. Cook owns us, and it looks like the Rockies have had a good run against Lilly.

 

That said, this team is surprising me every day.

That would be very interesting for me, because I'm heading down for tomorrow's game. If there's a DH I'll bet I can grab a ticket for the 2nd game and make a whole day out of it.

Just got off of a conference call with the National Weather Service, Chicago, who offered the following insights into today's weather scenario. Showers and t-storms will be affecting the Chicago area through early afternoon, with breaks to follow. More t-storms, some quite strong will redevelop late in the afternoon out toward the Rockford area, and moving into the Chicago metro area around the evening rush.

 

Looks like there's a good chance of a delay at the beginning of this game, but there should certainly be some breaks in the afternoon allowing for baseball to be played.

Showers and t-storms will be affecting the Chicago area through early afternoon, with breaks to follow. More t-storms, some quite strong will redevelop late in the afternoon out toward the Rockford area, and moving into the Chicago metro area around the evening rush.

 

Looks like there's a good chance of a delay at the beginning of this game, but there should certainly be some breaks in the afternoon allowing for baseball to be played.

Good news....hopefully the game gets in...I'll just have to bring a poncho.
