5/22 Cubs (Zambrano) @ Padres (Peavy) 9:05 CT WGN

[Eric Clipperton]

My predictions:

Z goes 6 IP giving up 2 runs- 3 BB, 5 K. Ish.

Peavy runs up his pitch count, throws 100+ in 6 IP.

Cubs offense comes alive, taking walks and Bradley has a good game knocking in some runs- say 4 on peavy then 3 more in the 7th+

Gonzales 2-run HR off a Cub reliever completes the scoring in a much-needed 7-4 Cubs win.

 

Hawks win a tight hard-fought game as the last line change allows Kane/Toews to stay away from Lidstrom while Big Buff grinds him out along the boards and in front. Both goalies let in a softie or two but Khabby makes a couple big saves, Jesus Havlat Christ dominates the game and heals the several injured Hawks inspiring them to a 3-2 win.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Predictions:

Fontenot goes hitless

Bradley goes hitless

Cubs score 1 run

Padres win 6-1

 

My predictions:

 

Fontenot goes hitless

Bradley goes hitless

Cubs score 1 run on a Zambrano RBI

Zambrano throws a no-hitter

 

Cubs win 1-0 ;)

 

Its hard to get a hit when you're riding the bench.

[Little Slide Rooter]

My predictions:

 

Lee goes hitless

Bradley goes hitless

Soriano gets a leadoff hit and strikes out 3 times

Theriot gets a double and grounds out in his other ABs on 1 pitch each

Fukudome goes hitless but takes 2 walks

Soto gets a bas ehit at a meaningless time

Miles goes hitless

Jake Fox hits 4 home runs

 

Cubs win 6-1.

Some of these predictions sound similar to the guy in my softball game the other night calling out for a triple play. I hope the difference is that he was serious.

You think they aren't? ;)

[coldsteel]

The Chicago Cubs.

Will they ever win again?

Hope springs eternal.

So now we've gone from hot women to poetry? That's a step backwards imo

Cubs are gonna lose the game

because we really suck.

If Aaron Miles starts I'm gonna choke myself

 

I'm almost positive he's gonna start too

Just put firm pressure on both of your carotid arteries at once and count to 15... if you make it that far.

 

(Please no one actually do this as it could cause you to stroke out... however if you are going to choke yourself... that's the better way to go.)

[NotSoSober]

Pretty sure I just saw on ESPN's bottom line that Harden was placed on the 15 day DL (midback sprain). Great news.

 

Edit: Rewound it, and yes, they did.

[Derwood]

I don't care if the Cubs get swept as long as Peavy leaves San Diego with the Cubs and Marshall stays in San Diego

I hate our lineup without Ram. Blah!

[illiniguy]

Didn't MIlton just take Peavy deep?

Didn't Lee go 0 for 3 with 3 Ks against him?

 

Thanks a bunch Lou.

[Schwarber Fan]

I'm sure Bradley's hurt too

[Andy]

Why not have Bradley be hurt? Everyone else is.

[CubbieBum]

Not Miles :yahoo:

Time for a Mike Remlinger pinched pinky special.

[Little Slide Rooter]

I'm sure Bradley's hurt too

 

He was definitely laboring a bit after that sliding grab in front of Kosuke.

[Friendly Confines]

If more than 2 runs are score this game I will be shocked

[Arnold Layne]

Amazing post, Fred.

[CubbieBum]

If more than 2 runs are score this game I will be shocked

 

Oh there will definitely be more than two runs scored in the game. All by our opposition but still more than two runs.

Well I know we aren't going to score, and I'm giving them a Gonzo solo homer and some other run by our terrible defense
