7/6 Cubs (Marshall) at Cards (Wellemeyer) 2:15 PM on TBS/CSN

[Schwarber Fan]

I hope it it's OK that I'm starting this, I'm pretty sure the deadline is midnight of the night before and hawkcub hasn't posted in 2 days, so he probably forgot. The next one is his if he shows up. I just wanted to get this up and forget yesterday. (which thank god I didn't witness)

 

So on to today...

Wellemeyer was hit pretty hard by the Mets in his last start though so hopefully we can take 2 of 3.

 

Also, prior to the game on TBS at 1 PM CT is the 2008 All-Star Selection show.

 

GO CUBS!

[Little Slide Rooter]

We really need this game, coming off a heartbreaking loss, an all around dreadful road trip, and an off day tommorow. It sucks that Wody melted down like he did, but the offense needs to get back on track here.

[gflore34]

I believe the Cubs are going to bust out today, just a feeling, but, they're due for an offensive explosion and Wellemeyer is the perfect fuel for the fire. Despite last night' loss, with the pending return of Soriano and the addition of a SP (Hendry' going to make a deal) the Cubs are superior to the Cardinals and they will bury them.

[Billy_Buck]

No shame in taking 2 of 3 in St. Louis. Win today, then get healthy at home before the break.

 

Do us proud, Sean!

[Mark_R]

Damn the cubs if they lose again. Single in the UD surrounded by redbird fans who do the wave.

 

This could be a great or disastrous day..

Is the game going to be blacked out on TBS since its on CSN? I would NOT be ok with that.

[Joe_Cub]

Damn the cubs if they lose again. Single in the UD surrounded by redbird fans who do the wave.

 

This could be a great or disastrous day..

 

represent!

[Guancous]

I think Wellemeyer gave up 23 hits in hit last two starts. It's time to continue regressing that sucker to the mean.

[otis89]

Destroy.

He had a good start against Detroit between his horrible starts. But it does seem like he's coming back down.

[Roast]

I'll be at my 2nd job for the majority of this game as well, so how about giving me something GOOD to come home to tonight.

[Little Slide Rooter]

I just hope the Cobs realize that this is their most important game of the season so far. theres a BIG difference between a 4.5 game lead and a .5 lead, especially with the Pirates having no intention of beating the Brewers.

Yea but we can only get to 3.5 or drop to 2.5 today.

It's nice of the Cardinals to let the Cubs go double or nothing with this game.

Fixed. But yeah 3.5 and 3.5 game leads are better than 1.5 and 2.5. Still even with a loss, we should be fine before the ASG with a 6 game home series against the Reds and Giants.

Do you mean 1.5 and 3.5?

[Fred Hornkohl]

Today's game represent the difference between a 3.5 game lead and a 1.5 game lead.

Still not quite there

I meant 1.5, but it looks like about 3 others corrected him anyway ;)

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 1139-1075 against the Cardinals.

 

Let's beat Wellemeyer like a rented mule !!

 

 

Go CUBS !!

Today's game represent the difference between a 3.5 game lead and a 1.5 game lead.

 

that is correct. Still, the 3.5 is a lot better. Still, lets just beat them because their the damn Cardinals. Watching them celebrate last night made me want to throw up and smash the TV, and considering I caught that last half inning at my favorite sushi bar, I probably wouldnt have been invited back,
