6/04 Cubs (Zambrano) @ Braves (Jurrjens) 6 PM CDT CSN

TruffleShuffle · June 4, 2009

After a shocking extra inning win and a one-run save by the much-maligned kevin gregg, the cubs try to make it two in a row as they face the braves in the third and final game of the series.

the starters are carlos zambrano (3-2, 4.22 ERA) for the cubs:

versus jair jurrjens (5-2, 2.59 ERA) for the braves:

unhappy with their performance in the first to games of the series, the braves have made some big changes to the starting lineup:

1. Glenn Hubbard, 2B (weirdest baseball card ever???)

2. Bob Horner, 3B (way to rock that stache)

Go Cubs!!!

Little Slide Rooter · June 4, 2009

I would very much like it if by the bottom of the 9th the Cubs have more runs than the Braves and it stays that way until the 3rd out.

UMFan83 · June 4, 2009

Jurrjens is a stud this year. Let's hope Z is on his game.

Schwarber Fan · June 4, 2009

This game is also on MLBN tonight

Terp · June 4, 2009

This game is also on MLBN tonight

I don't know why they gave the Cubs three weeks in a row but awesome.

kjfoster 1553 · June 4, 2009

I love games on MLBN. Brighthouse Indy doesn't even offer CSN in a package that I saw, so I have to hope for WGN, ESPN, or MLBN every single day.

Cubs tend to do the opposite of what I say, so....

Cubs lose 9-3

Z gets lit up for 7 runs in 4+ IP

Hill hits a 2 run HR

Soto gains 3 lbs

Little Slide Rooter · June 4, 2009

As bizaar as is sounds, last night I had a dream that the Cubs called up Doug Deeds. However, he wasnt a crappy old pushing 30 career minor leaguer, he was a top prospect and it was the big news story of the day.

Little Slide Rooter · June 4, 2009

McClouth wont be ready to join the Braves by tonight will he?

5.3k · June 4, 2009

McClouth wont be ready to join the Braves by tonight will he?

why wouldn't he?

otis89 · June 4, 2009

McClouth wont be ready to join the Braves by tonight will he?
why wouldn't he?

I see no reason why he wouldn't. It doesn't take that long to fly from Pittsburgh to Atlanta, and Pat and Ron were constantly talking about last night probably being Gregor Blanco's last game for the Braves for quite some time.

It's not unheard of for players to miss the first game after being traded to a new team.

Switch to DISH and get CSN Chicago... I avoid Comcast like the PLAGUE now... I'm from Brownsburg BTW...

Landlord required either Brighthouse or Time Warner in the lease, and since Time Warner doesn't service the Indianapolis area I was left with only one option.

Cubswin11 · June 4, 2009

The last 3 times the Cubs have been on MLBN I haven't gotten them. It says in the guide they will be on and instead others games have been on.

JonJayCutler · June 4, 2009

No reason Blanco should be batting ahead of Z.

illiniguy · June 4, 2009

No reason Blanco should be batting ahead of Z.

Think of it as Lou pulling a TLR and batting the pitcher 8th.

cst_cubs Z giving updates to reporters every time somebody goes in Lou's office today. 'Big news in the paper tomorrow.'

Is this something?

Brian · June 4, 2009

okay I think it's just Z being Z

Says Z: 'Look, Geo is going in Lou's office. ...They closed the door. ... They're fighting. ...Be in the paper tomorrow.'

perhaps making fun of making a deal about him missing a flight.
