''There were these two fellars standin' on a bridge, a-goin' to the bathroom. One fellar said, "The water's cold" and the other fellar said, "The water's deep". I believe one fella come from Venezuela. Get it? "

"Yeah, pee wee, he's talkin' about you. Hey Karl, can you pitch? Maybe we can work you in the 7th or 8th when we're beating the holy hell out of these guys. It'll be good for you."

"Jeez, man. If you'll cut that crap out, we'll spot you guys 6 runs."

 

 

 

 

 

Ted Lilly takes the hill for game one of the cross town show down. This is a big one for the cubs. They really need to forget about the Tampa mess and move on. They have the best record in the bigs and it's time to stomp a mud hole into the white sox.

 

GO CUBS!!!!!

 

 

Hurry, someone with a brain throw some stats and TV info --- I got no clue (obviously).

Cubs have never faced Danks.

[Schwarber Fan]

If you are like me and have WGN but not CSN, you can listen to the homers today as well. (Might wanna add it to the title)

May god bless all of you brave soldiers.

[Little Slide Rooter]

how the hell are we still in...ah forget it. Lets hope the Home Cubs come out to play.

[C.C.]

It wouldn't feel right if someone from the W.Sox didn't rip Wrigley.

 

Nose plugs ... check.

 

White Sox pitcher John Danks' travel bag is packed for this afternoon's game at Wrigley Field.

 

''We'll all be bringing our nose plugs, try not to smell all the urine over there,'' Danks said Thursday. ''Nah, we're looking to have fun over there, but that place is a [bleep] hole.''

 

Danks gets a good whiff of the heated Sox-Cubs series this afternoon, no longer just a spectator. The ball is in his hands for Game 1 after he had to sit and watch all six games in 2007.

 

''Yeah, I was disappointed last year when I got pushed back a day and had to miss my start over there,'' Danks recalled. ''Things are a little different this time around.''

If he can avoid stepping on crackheads and hypodermic needles around The Cell, Im sure the smell of urine shouldnt bother him too much.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Meanwhile LaRussa and his ragtag band of misfits are at Fenway and then on to Detroit. Me may very well have a new 2nd place team by the end of the weekend.

[Schwarber Fan]

I think Reed will be back in the lineup

 

We'll see who's in LF

[C.C.]

DLEE is due for a breakout series as is Ram. Hopefully this is it.

[rawaction]

It's so on! Game thread Pimp is in this b.i.

 

I hate that this series is important now that the Cubs just got swept. Danks is beatable. He has good numbers so far, but he's nothing special. Lefties have hit Danks better than RHs, so I pray that Lou doesn't start the all RH lineup. I'd imagine Fukudome will be in there. I hope Lou doesn't shy away from using Hoffpauir in LF either. Lilly will probably see a completely RH lineup as the Sox only LH hitters are Thome, who hasn't played the field yet this year and AJP, who will probably sit today. Sox are all swinging hot bats, but this ain't the Pirates pitching. Beat them 5 of 6 times last year. They are the same team. Cubs are better.

 

Aramis has great numbers vs. the Sox pitching. I expect big things from him being at home. Derosa will be big in this series. And the White Sox have seen nothing like Kosuke Fukudome.

[mopapa]

LOL!

 

lilly flew back early, lou is pissed off and it's a home game. cubs win this one or there's hell to pay!

 

Who's that in your sig photo?

[Little Slide Rooter]

Last year Lilly was the guy who was known for stopping the bleeding. Hopefully he can do that today.

 

Will they be able to work Hoff into the lineup? Lous usually all about the hot pony.

[soapy]

the game thread pimp means business. excellent.

 

Lee looks like he might be heating up. here's hoping he has a big series. good lilly today, please.

[UMFan83]

Cubs are 29-8 at home.

 

White Sox are 17-20 on the road.

 

Marmol is pissed off

Lou is pissed off

Lilly is.....well Lilly.

 

You are in trouble White Sox.

[Derwood]

I'll have to check, but I think I picked today in the "Lou Ejection Pool". Seems like a good day for it

[UMFan83]

Thank God we are back to NL lineups. I think I read Reed might be ok to go today, and thats good because Danks is a tough lefty. My lineup prediction

 

Johnson, CF (Lou will move Fukudome down because hes a lefty)

Theriot, SS

Lee, 1B

Ramirez, 3B

Soto, C

Fukudome, RF

Hoffpauir, LF

DeRosa, 2B

Lilly, P

 

Sox will probably go this way

Douchebag, CF

Douchebag, C

Douchebag, 1B

Douchebag, LF

Douchebag, RF

Douchebag, 3B

Douchebag, 2B

Douchebag, SS

Douchebag, P

[pitchcs]

I bet you see Murton over Hoff.

[UMFan83]

I bet you see Murton over Hoff.

 

True. Why was I smart enough to insert Johnson in the leadoff spot vs. a lefty, but then completely forgot when it came to selecting a LF. You're right Murton over Hoff

[C.C.]

4 more hours and it's game time.
