8/15 Other Games

[ctcf]

Cardinals (Thompson) @ Reds (Arroyo) - 6:10 PM

Brewers (Parra) @ Dodgers (Billingsley) - 9:40 PM

 

Who the heck cares about the Cards/Reds game. Hopefully the Dodgers keep their streak going.

[C.C.]

Hopefully we'll get an early win to keep the pressure on the Brewers.

[Little Slide Rooter]

I predict the Dodgers sweep the Brew Crew.

That would be excellent.

Nice. Those are pretty favorable matchups for the Dodgers.

Dodgers have a tough lineup too

 

Ethier

Kemp

Kent

Manny

Loney

Martin

Nomah

Casey Blake

 

Juan Pierre off the bench.

 

This will be nice test for the Brewers after everyone saying how unbeatable they are after going 8-2 against 3 of the worst teams in history.

What's really great is:

A. They're facing a team with more than one major league starting pitcher

B. They're facing a lineup that'll be able to hit that crap the Brewers call a bullpen (one can rave all they wish about these unbeatable Brewers but, when you've got Solomon Torres as your closer you're going to have problems)

Which is why the sweep isnt out of the question, plus its part of the Brewers MO. Just when you think they're unstoppable they go on a 2-8 streak, and then when you think they've collapsed, they go on another winning streak.

LA is going to take at least 2 out of 3, would be nice if we could do the same thing

Considering they miss Sabathia and Sheets, they had better.

[17 Seconds]

Wow, the Yankees are such a mess

[David]

Let's go blue.

Come on Dodgers. DBacks are cruising, helps the Cubs and yourself out today.

[CubsBears29]

So when do we start thinking seriously about playoff scenarios with 40 games left?

 

If the Cubs can just "stay aflot" at .500 in their remaining games, 20-20, that'll put them at 95-67 to finish the season.

 

Including tonight, (if we went .500 the rest of the way) Milwaukee would have to finish 26-14 to win the division. And the Cardinals would have to end their remaining 37 games at 27-10 to keep the Northsiders out of the playoffs altogether.

 

 

Regardless to say, while I hope we finish 25-15 or better [would be sweet to see 3 figures in the left-hand column]; if we only go .500, I really like our chances at winning the division and HFA for the NL playoffs.

[GoCubsGo1679625768]

Billingsley goes tonight...I don't think Parra has been the same since the Cubbie's roughed him up.

[series65cubsfan]

Does anyone know why Pierre is in the game? I thought Eithier would was in the line up.

[Rob]

Kapler just crushed a 2 run dinger into the LF stands.

[CubsBears29]

2-0 MIL already.

 

:doh:

[GoCubsGo1679625768]

WTF ......Billingsley!

[RedFlash]

Parra isn't going to hold this lead.

[Roast]

Eff you, Kapler.

1st and 3rd, 1 out for ManRam.
