Why does it seem like teams such as the Pirates wait until they play us to bring their A game, then proceed to suck against the rest of the league?

 

You sure about that, Clark?

 

Pirates v. the Cubs: 4-9

Pirates v. everyone else in the NL: 41-40

 

Don't muddy the water with things like facts and rational observations. It's not fair.

 

 

Even if the statement were true based on last night, 3 runs off of Jason Marquis doesnt classify as A game. It was just another case of the Cubs being baffled by a no name pitcher.

Losing the occasional Marquis start is no great sin--as long as the Cubs win today and tomorrow.

 

And honestly, when the schedules came out, this is the one series that scared me more than any other. You must always fear and respect the Pirates.*

 

Go Cubs!

Talk about stacking the lineup with RH bats

 

This is one of the only pitchers who I will say this about.

 

I like the all-RH lineup against Maholm though. He has massive splits:

 

2006

left-handers-.646 OPS

right-handers-.870 OPS

 

2007

left-handers-.623 OPS

right-handers-.820 OPS

 

2008

left-handers-.496 OPS

right-handers-.755 OPS

 

Even though normally I wouldn't be happy about Cedeno getting the start due to Fukudome being better than Cedeno against left-handers, Maholm is just nasty against left-handed hitters. So it becomes at worst a toss up, and anytime you have a tossup you might as well give Fukudome the day off to continue to stay fresh over a longer season than he's accustomed to.

Gamday audio for me today. :x

 

I hate early games on Saturday that aren't on WGN.

MLB.TV has worked every Saturday that I've needed it this season.
