Looper will not last 6 innings.

 

Looper's last 2 starts: both 7 IP, 2 ERs. His only start vs. the Cubs this season 7 IP, 2 ERs.

 

He started 4 times against the Cubs last year.

 

7 IP, 1 ER

6 IP, 2 ER

7 IP, 1 ER

7 IP, 1 ER

[Bote McBoteface]

Can we please throw a couple high and tight pitches to Ludwick in this series?

Seconded

I'm nervous about this series. I remember 2004 when there was an August series against the Astros. If the Cubs had swept (or won 3 of 4), it would pretty much have put Houston to bed, but I think Houston won all 4 games and we know how the rest went.

[MasterBlaster]

Aw yeah, just got home from work...let's rock these chumps! It's a good day so far, got me a Home Run Inn pizza cookin, and Cubs baseball.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

I hope we beat these bitches up! Go Cubs!

We won the first game, Houston won the last 3. That was the series with the ball that supposedy hit off Berkman's helmet.

I was at whichever game Corey Patterson lead off with a HR but the Cubs lost like 11-1

[haubrich91]

Feels wierd without Brenly in the broadcast.

[Sammy Sofa]

What is up with Plesac's voice today? Sounds much more nasally than usual.

[UMFan83]

For some reason when the Cubs played the previous 2 series in St. Louis, I wasn't that worried, but in this series at Wrigley I am actually kinda nervous.

 

Don't know if its because its August or if because I fear the Cardinals more because they are still in this race when previously I expected them to fade

[PrimeTime]

AGhhhh Theriot

[Sammy Sofa]

Need more grit to cut down on those slips, Riot.

[UMFan83]

What the heck Ryan? That had better not come back to haunt us but with Lilly pitching I fear the worst.

[Careless]

glad he's not hurt

[haubrich91]

That looked very awkward.

[Sammy Sofa]

Nuts.

 

I know neither plays were really Ryan's fault, but I still find it very eay to blame him.

[haubrich91]

Great job Lilly!

 

Let's go hit.

[UMFan83]

Sit down Luckwick. Good inning for Lilly

[kujay]

Sori, unless you are going to hit a homer on the first pitch, please be patient today.

 

Thanks.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Ugh, I'm stuck with FSN Midwest today

I remember that, he acted like he'd been shot in the head, laying at the plate immobile.
