Beat the soapdropping Astros.

 

they definitely wear the crown of most annoying team thus far

 

there is no reason that we shouldn't sweep these clownballs

Try living in Texas and losing to them on a regular basis. Talk about annoying.

Cubs looking to move 23 games over .500 for the first time since September 27, 1989

 

Hilarious and yet sad at the same time.

The weather report seems pretty wretched for today and tonight.

 

Indoor stadium.

 

It's at Wrigley.

 

Yeah, they built a dome.

Good day to give the double play king a rest and put Ward at 1st?

 

I thinks that's a great idea also, with someone such as Theriot or Soriano on 1B, Lee up and less than two outs when is Lou going to start hitting and running? After Lee grounds in 40 DP's?

It's STILL not a good idea to risk making outs on the bases in front of Lee

For all you weather geeks out there (Truffle) are we going to get this game in? I have box seats for tonight's game.

NWS has a 60% chance of thunder storms at game time. So does TWC.

 

Also winds blowing out at 10-15 mph.

This series scares me. I wouldn't be surprised to see Houston hit Dempster pretty hard. I'm pretty much writing it off as a given they will pound Marquis, as they have typically done in his Cubs career. But the Cubs get the mediocre Backe that day. I don't think anyone can hit Rich Harden, but Wandy scares me vs. the Cubs offense who can never seem to do anything against him.

 

Winner tonight takes 2 of 3 in the series.

If our offense keeps it up, there are no worries. Mohler sucks, he caught us at a bad time last time around. Wandy Rodriguez pitches like an ace at home, but hes horrible on the road. Weve had troubles againt him in the past, but hopefully, Harden will cancel that out. As for Backe, we'e always been able to beat him.

The Astros honestly don't really scare me at Wrigley like they do at MMP. That park does wonders for them.

 

Brian Moehler has a 4.63 ERA on the road with a 1.41 WHIP, while he has a 3.99 ERA at home

 

Wandy meanwhile still has big H/R splits. 3.31 ERA at home and 4.03 WHIP on the road. Last year he had a 2.97 ERA at home and a 6.37 ERA on the road, so while I guess having a .62 ERA difference between H/R is not a lot, he has been known to pitch less effectively on the road in his career.

 

Also, the Astros hit nearly 100 points better (OPS) at home than on the road. They are 11th in the league in home OPS at .784, while they are 25th in the league in road OPS at .689

If the Cubs can somehow get 33 games over .500 this year, it will be their most over .500 since 1945 :shock:

If the Cubs can somehow win the World Series this year, it will be their first time since 1908

:shock:

Guys, guys, haven't you all got the memo?

 

We kick ass at home. Nothing to worry about here. We'll get 2/3.

2 out of 3 would be 9 out of 11, hard to beat that.

 

I want 30 games over and this is a good month to do it.

Wandy meanwhile still has big H/R splits. 3.31 ERA at home and 4.03 WHIP on the road.

 

4.03 WHIP is a bad WHIP.

It's catastrophic. Is that really true?
