5/8 Cubs (Wells) @ Brewers (Bush) - 7:05 PM CT - WGN

[Cubbies2238]

CUBS are 6-2 when WGN broadcasts the game

 

I believe this is all the proof we need for why more games should be on WGN. This is a welcome change from last year, when they were right around .500 on WGN.

 

Even better is that the Cubs are 8-2 this season with me watching. I will be watching tonight.

I really like that lineup. A lot.

[PrimeTime]

I like any lineup with Aaron Miles not in it.

[otis89]

Maybe I missed it somewhere, but I don't see anything saying what was done to make room for Wells on the roster. Anyone know?

Gathright traded to Baltimore for Freel.

How does that free up a spot on the 25-man roster?

Freel is technically currently rehabbing in the minors.

Yeah, Scales will go down when Freel is ready.

Let's see if we can get the game threads back to double digits.

[Tryptamine]

Geez only 4 people browsing the thread and no Fred.

[Andy]

Fukucopter, that Lou probably caused - I doubt Kosuke swings at that without Theriot running.

[Tryptamine]

Good luck Wells; try to at least give the Cubs a chance tonight.

[PrimeTime]

How come the Padres never inquired about Wells? Seems hes pretty decent and if we can throw in a pitcher or two from the DeRo trade and Vitters or whoever else I think thatd be enough to get Peavy at the deadline

[Little Slide Rooter]

Wells main advantage could be that he knows hes not fighting for a long term job. When Z comes back, hes probably back in Iowa regardless of what he does here. He knows hes a filler, so he just needs to throw strikes, and let the rest take care of itself.

[Tryptamine]

Throw strikes.....I'd rather see him get shelled than this constant nibbling.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Nice start.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Dear Milton,

 

Stop being bad.

 

Thank you.

[Tryptamine]

Dear Milton,

 

Stop being bad.

 

Thank you.

 

It's getting to the point where I'm starting to doubt he's going to be anywhere near the player he was last year.

[cubfan75]

Where is everybody? Weakest game thread I have seen. Great inning of at-bats there. What 7 pitches?

[InconspicuousZ28]

Throw strikes, plz.

[cubfan75]

Yeah, leadoff walk after 0-2 start.
