Jonathan Sanchez (1-1, 2.60 ERA, 1.27 WHIP, 17.1 INN, 17 SO's)

Some Notes:

- The all powerful Lee of the last two days looks to have his first back-to-back-to-back homerun games since April 2006.

- Cubs look to win four straight for the first time all season.

- Cubs have scored 6 runs or more in each of the last three games which is the longest streak of the season.

- Soto has hit safely in each of the last two games for the first time all season.

- Dempster has allowed at least two runs in every start this season.

- Dempster has pitched exactly six innings in every start this season.

- Dempster picked up the loss in a 4-2 game last time he pitched against San Francisco last July.

Over under on Dempster with 3 walks.

Under. San Francisco has no hitters worth more than an Aaron Miles so he shouldn't have to try to perfect each pitch.

At least we don't face the big unit this series. IIRC we don't do so well against him...

Like never beating him once in his career. 13-0 in 14 GS, 1.84 ERA, .974 WHIP, 67 H in 102.2 IP.

I saw one of those 13 wins. He almost got a no-decision because the Cubs all of the sudden scored 5 runs off him in the eighth before he could retire an out. Sosa started it all with the longest HR I've ever seen in person, 486 ft. if I remember correctly, into the "Front Row" restaurant. Kim got ejected this game because he was doctoring the ball and some sort of sandpaper or something flew out of his sleeve and Mark Grace saw it and showed it to the umpire.

When I was a kid I saw one of those games too. IIRC Lieber lost a 2-1 pitching duel.

Keener98 · May 4, 2009

Another game not on TV for me, man it seems like there has been alot more of these this year than in years past.

tfarks · May 4, 2009

Hmm, I wonder if myP2P will have the online stream. They almost always do, but WCIU might be tricky. Hopefully someone with MLBTV comes through.

Outshined_One · May 4, 2009

San Francisco's last in the majors in runs scored. Let's keep it this way.

Over under on Dempster with 3 walks.

Over. He'll walk four but the Cubs will win.

This WCIU nonsense needs to stop. Ugh.

No kidding. I'll pony up for MLB.tv eventually, but until then, the lack of WGN games is annoying.

As soon as I move to New Orleans at the end of May I'll buy MLB.tv. I won't be subject to any blackouts :yahoo: \:D/ :D :good:

5/4 San Francisco (Sanchez) @ Cubs (Dempster) 7:05 (CT) WCIU
