[PrimeTime]

Man theyre going nuts in Philly..crowd going wild the whole AB just for the guy walking to first with 2 outs..Awesome atmospehere..Wrigley better be like that tonight

[Guest]

Damn, I really hoped DeRosa could shift to RF today.

[PrimeTime]

Shane Victorino Grand Slam :shock:

[Andy]

I like that lineup but I want to see some sneaky power.

 

Damn DeRosa's strained calf all to hell.

If the Cubs threaten that way, you can bet it will be.

[mikeyt34]

DeRosa batting 5th...I kind of like that. Kosuke batting 8th? Why not Z?

[Omar]

Lou forgot to see Jim's career numbers against Billingsley.

 

Reed Johnson should be in CF.

[Brian]

any idea if any of those 11 abs happen to be when Jim was with the Padres and didn't hit anybody?

[Garwilly]

After being outside from 2-930 yesterday, I am waiting until the last possible moment to leave for tonights game.

Kosuke's gonna get a couple of hits tonight, I feel it.

Reed Johnson should be in CF.

 

No, he really shouldn't be. 11 at-bats is a tiny sample size, while Johnson has a huge sample size of sucking against RHP.

HE USED UP ALL THE LUCK!!

[Derwood]

I made a comment in the game chat last night that TBS has the sound level really low on the crowd noise (compared to WGN/Comcast). I think that was part of the reason it seemed dead (pre-5th inning).

 

My guess is that with all the criticism about the crowd today that tonight's crowd will be a bit more lively. That, and the fact that the crowd will have had a few hours to drink before the game instead of coming straight from work

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Don't recall if I said this in the thread before, but it's going to be really annoying to have people blame a bad outing on emotion tonight if Zambrano has one.

 

As if he hadn't had a ton of bad outings lately with no pressure or reason for emotion.

[Skyballer]

Take it fwiw, on my baseball game on road to the show, my pitcher threw eight shutout innings and Z will follow suit.

[BigSlick]

Gotta say it would be nice to see Soriano not go 0-5 tonight

 

I know I'm asking a lot here guys

The Cubs have to give us something to cheer about...

[Brian]

i've started drinking, whose with me?

I started at 6:00. Gotta get a base going.

Will 0-6 work?

[killthegoat06]

I like this lineup as much as I can like any for today. Fontenot would have been better but I trust he'd be in if Derosa could play RF.

If it means the lineup turns over six times, I'll take it.
