Jeff Karstens: 2-2, 2.25

The Cubs are 11-4 against the Pirates in 2008, and head into Pittsburgh looking to win some more. Ted Lilly takes the hill for the Cubs, and is 1-0 in three starts against the Pirates this year. The key for Lilly in this one is to not give up the home run ball. Going for the Pirates is Jeff Karstens, who previously shut the Cubs down on August 1st.

Let's make it a season high 31 over .500. Go Cubs!

OK, the Cubs must have some sort of scouting report on this guy now. They looked lost against him last time.

Mizzou · August 25, 2008

Wasn't the last time we faced this guy really just an example of missed opportunities? He gave up 9 runners in 6 innings. Not exactly a good performance on his end.

I wanted to see what the Cubs were on a pace for since they went to 30 over today.

kinda telling that fred's program doesn't account for the possibility of a three digit number there. i'm guessing if we were, say, the yankees or braves, that bug wouldn't be there.

Damn, an 0-162 season is pretty disappointing.

BCVM22 · August 25, 2008

Damn, an 0-162 season is pretty disappointing.

The ultimate other shoe drops: Cubs stripped of all 80 wins and forbidden from winning the entire rest of the season.

Cubs win this one 4-2.

I thought we were banned from winning now. :confused:

Every player on the team, including the coaches and manager, were using steroids.

This guy is not the ace that we made him out to be last time. Lets tear him apart.

The Pirates have scored 64 runs in 22 games since trading Jason Bay. That's an average of 2.9 runs per game. Twelve of those runs game in games 3 and 4 post Bay, both losses. In the 18 games since, Pittsburgh has scored 48 runs. An average of 2 2/3 runs per game. They have scored 3 or fewer runs in 12 of the last 18.

I think the Cubs may have a tough time scoring in this series though. Karstens has been tough this year, and has dominated RH hitters in his 4 starts so far. Snell has put up a 2.37 ERA in his 3 starts since working w/ the pitching coach to change his mechanics. Duke in game 3, likely won't be much of a problem, but the Pirates do get Marquis that day. This game actually could have issues with rain around gametime.

I look for a low scoring game tonight, with Lilly able to go deep in the game. I think Zambrano is key in the middle game. He has struggled vs. the Pirates, but Bay and Nady did a lot of that damage.

rawaction · August 25, 2008

CUBS are 8-4 on Mondays

I have a calendar schedule on my desk w/ Wins and Losses tracked for each day.

The Cubs have only played 3 Monday since the break and are 1-2. After their opening day loss, the Cubs won 7 of the next 8 Mondays. Tuesdays have been streaky for the Cubs. 4 game win streak currently, but previously a 3-game losing streak, preceeded by a 3-game win streak, preceeded by a 2-game Tuesday losing streak. The Cincy loss ended a 7-game Wednesday streak the Cubs had. The Cubs currently have their 2nd 4-game Thursday win streak. Sundays have been fun for the Cubs. They've won 6 straight Sundays and 11 of the last 13.

No, thats when the players go into the clubhouse after a game and their is no food there.

Soul · August 25, 2008

I'm too lazy to look it up this morning, but I believe Karsten's last 2 starts he gave up 4 and 5 runs. The Cubs had the noble task last time of being the guinea pig for the rest of the league to build up their scouting reports. Now the tables have turned -- we get to look at how other teams have beaten him.

It *SHOULD* be a different story tonight.

So, jump in the car and head for the 'Burgh. You can be there in 3 hours, no?

jyoung55 · August 25, 2008

Fred, you have that K Wood threw 116 pitches two outings ago in your bullpen load chart. Was Dusty Baker back for that game and I missed it?

No... this is what happens when you let people with fat fingers enter data on these little itty bitty keyboards !! :oops:
