04/27 Cobs (Lilly) @ Diamondbacks (Haren?) 8:40 CT, CSN+

[UMFan83]

Does the thought of putting someone on the DL scare the Cubs?

 

I have a feeling that Ramirez and Marmol will be back tomorrow. Lee by the end of the week. I honestly have no idea when Bradley will be back. I cannot believe that Koyie Hill hasn't played in 2 weeks.

[Cynosure]

OF COURSE... the Cubs are once again on at the exact same time as the Blackhawks... looks like I'll be following this one on GameDay yet again.

 

Yeah, April Cubs game vs. dominant pitcher with crappy lineup vs. Blackhawks potential series clinching game is a no brainer.

 

Well hopefully in a few weeks I'll be able to care about the Cubs :-D Seems like so far I haven't really been interested in ANY game. Really weird for me, usually April is baseball time and NOT hockey time.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Will somebody tell me again why we got rid of Vizcaino ???

That may be the worst "good team" lineup I've ever seen. Although they weren't a good team, it reminds me of the year when Sandberg and Dunston were both hurt and we had a middle infield of Paul Noce & Mike Brumley.

[Keener98]

Gotta love Lous infatuation with L/R/L and puts Reed Jonson hitting cleanup vs a righty instead of Hoff.

 

Oh and Im sick and tired of CSN+ games already

[tfarks]

Gonna miss some of the 1st 20 minutes watching the end of 24. Go crappy Cubs lineup.

[C.C.]

I'm really loving watching Fukudome. Win or lose.

That's very nice to see with their best pitcher and their punchless offense.

CUBS are 6-1 when they score first in the game.... 3-7 when they don't

CUBS are 5-1 when they score in the first inning.... 4-7 when they don't
