8/12: Cubs (Harden) @ Braves (Morton) **RAIN: POSTPONED**

[Schwarber Fan]

Either game on WGN?

[Butterscup1679666578]

Well that sucks.

[cubs121]

what i'm wondering now is, What game will be shown on wgn tommorow than? the 1st of the DH or the second?

[UMFan83]

Well that sucks.

 

Was it called?

[MasterBlaster]

Well that sucks.

 

Was it called?

 

Yahoo is saying Postponed due to rain. Crap.

[Little Slide Rooter]

You call it rain. I call it fear. Anyway, some of the guys can use an extra day off. Kosuke, Im looking in your direction.

Tough break for the Cubs... Milwaukee will keep winning, while the Cubs will split a double-header.

[Slugger_16]

Len said game 1 will be on WGN tomorrow. Didn't say anything about game 2.

2004 redux...

[David]

That's weird...

 

What's weird?

 

The fact that double headers are swept like 49% of the time.

[Schwarber Fan]

At least the earlier game is on WGN

[Deeg]

Rainout. Day nighter tomorrow. 1:10 EDT and 7:15 EDT

 

Any idea which game Harden will start, Bruce? Selfishly, I sure hope it's the early game.

I dont know, if Braun isnt back in the Brewers lineup, they really dont outmatch the Padres by much. I mean Adrian Gonzales, Kevin Kouzmanoff, and Brian Giles are a respectable heart of the lineup, and Scott Hairston is swinging the bat OK, and Jody Fn Gerut is OPSing over .800. Im not saying theyre the Angels, but there not the Natspos either, Plus, the Brewers have Suppan on the mound.

 

Edit: I didnt realise The Brewers were missing both Peavy and Young this series. The Pads better win tonight.

The fact that it's so far from 50 percent, or so close? I think it's about where it should be. It shows that it's slightly harder to win a doubleheader than to win 2 in a row, but not as much as conventional wisdom would believe.

I remember the last DH in Atlanta. Let's not have that same result this time around.

Well, before any games are played (or coins are flipped) the odds of a 50/50 (which these games more or less are) going the same way twice in a row are 1/4 or 25%.

 

...and now that's causing me to confuse the hell out of myself trying to figure this out.

WGN radio report thats Marquis will pitch the first game and Harden will go against Campillo. The pitching matchups are better that way.

[Old Style]

:banghead:

[David]

I guess it's 25% one team sweeps, 25% the other sweeps, and 50% it's split

 

Duh

[17 Seconds]

So Marshall will probably start on Sunday then?

Glad Harden is going Game 2. That gives us a good chance of sweeping, assuming Marquis doesn't get bombed in Game 1. Edited August 12, 2008 by erik316wttn

I'm fairly sure the Brewers get Peavy tomorrow night.

I agree. This is definitely a tough break. And as someone pointed out they miss both Young and Peavy. Anyone know what Milwaukee's record is since the ASB against teams other than the Cubs?

[Guest]

There's a better chance of rain (no matter how small it is...30%) for the early game. Harden should be starting the second game.
