6/09 Cubs (Lillly) @ Astros (Moehler) 7:05 CDT CSN

TruffleShuffle · June 8, 2009

After the cubs' offense busted out for 6 runs (in 14 innings), they continue their road trip and roll into houston to face the astros. starting is baby-faced serial killer theodore roosevelt lilly III, who comes in with a 6-4 mark and a 3.28 ERA:

he'll be up against old man and noted cheater brian moehler, who's 2-3 with a sterling 6.37 ERA.

fortunately, the cubs will be missing mike scott during the series (does anyone else remember how ridiculously dominant he was in 1986 before fading back into relative obscurity?)

I like how Canseco said something about corking his bat in that article. It would have been amazing if he said, "Maybe I should start using steroids."

Looking back, I think it'd be pretty easy to fashion an all-'stache lineup for the Astros. Derek Bell comes to mind as another legendary 'stache.

Little Slide Rooter · June 8, 2009

Hopefully Lilly doesnt give up home runs like Pez and the offense doesnt make Moehler look like Cy Young.

The funny thing is, Jose Cruz had a great one at one time, but doesn't on that card.

Cubs are going to find a way to win this one, but it is going to be a slugfest.

Lillllly goes 5 2/3 IP and gives up 6 runs (all off HRs)

DLee hits a HR

Soriano hits a HR

Theriot hits a HR

Cubs win 9-7

Little Slide Rooter · June 8, 2009

Anyone know if Milton is going to be back in the lineup?

Dickie Thon is an underrated all time great baseball name.

Fred Hornkohl · June 8, 2009

Dickie Thon is an underrated all time great baseball name.

Dickie Thon couldn't hold Stubby Clapp's ...... er...... uh...... well, Stubby definitely has the better name !!

I've always thought Quinton McCracken was an excellent name.

That has always been among my favorites. Pokey Reese

mul21 · June 9, 2009

I have to throw Gookie Dawkins into the mix as well, though Stubby Clapp certainly is hard to top.

Little Slide Rooter · June 9, 2009

Rusty Kuntz and Dick Pole ares still the best.

mopapa · June 9, 2009

Scooter Tucker has always been one of my favorite baseball names. Should have been a catcher.

Little Slide Rooter · June 9, 2009

Can nick names really be counted as great names, IE Travis "Gookie" Dawkins or Calvin "Pokey" Reese? If so, Clyde "Pork Chop" Pough wins the award.

kujay · June 9, 2009

The 'Stros had the all-mustache team going.

Anyway, Cobs, keep winning.

Old Style · June 9, 2009

Tampa Bay manager Larry Rothschild asked Barnett, the plate umpire, the procedure for checking Moehler at the beginning of the seventh inning.

:blink:

Terp · June 9, 2009

Soriano

Theriot

Fukudome

Lee

Bradley

Fontenot

Soto

Blanco

Lilly

otis89 · June 9, 2009

If everyone was hitting like they're capable of, that would be one good lineup.

ctcf · June 9, 2009

Time to kick Moehler's ass.

BigSlick · June 9, 2009

Time to kick Moehler's ass.

Everytime I'm sure this is going to happen Moehler destroys us

I'm prepared for anything really, we could romp or we could get shut down, whatever

rynefan · June 9, 2009

Rusty Kuntz and Dick Pole ares still the best.

LOL, no doubt. If your last name is Pole, maybe stay away from the first name of Richard for your kid.....
