7/12 Game 1 Cardinals (Lohse) @ Cubs (Z!) 12:05 PM WGN

Cubs still suck. Winning 1 game doesn't change that. Winning 2 games might make me begin to think otherwise.

Have to win at least one of the DH.

Aim low, sweet chariot, and gimme that split.

This (Z pitching) is one hell of a "make good" for those of us screwed over by the rain 4/19! Too bad my buddies from Florida can't make it back up.

I understand the rational of using Fox in the 1st game so that Lou has some flexibility in the second game. I'm scared to death though of a guy coming off pitching on short rest to a catcher who has never caught him before and as a result doesn't know what to look for (to avoid a possible injury) with his pitched. Also, I would suspect that Wells and Fox have worked together at least a few times while coming up through the system.

Over/Under number of wild pitches or passed balls.

2.5

msajeff · July 12, 2009

I'll take the over.

I'll also guess that Lou will probably put Hill in there for the late innings if the over is "hit."

Little Slide Rooter · July 12, 2009

I get the strange sensation that the Cubs take both games, but that could just be gas.

rynefan · July 12, 2009

Got a weird feeling about this one, but I'm looking forward to it overall. The catching thing is reason to tune in. Gotta win one for sure.

Friendly Confines · July 12, 2009

9 posts in a gamethread 30 minutes before it starts, and no lineup.

Hmmm

Soriano 3rd. :-)) :-)) :-))

Butterscup1679666578 · July 12, 2009

so much for Fox catching

Fred Hornkohl · July 12, 2009

The sooner computers can replace umps, the better.

The infallibility of computers is highly overrated. Over the past 3 seasons, the CUBS are 7-1 with Angel Hernandez behind home plate. Chew on that, Navin !! :wink:

Little Slide Rooter · July 12, 2009

So if Lee and Ramirez arent in the nightcap, do we have permission to panic? Im not surprised that they wouldnt play both games, but I find it odd that they both sit out the same one.

So if Lee and Ramirez arent in the nightcap, do we have permission to panic? Im not surprised that they wouldnt play both games, but I find it odd that they both sit out the same one.

Len said on twitter that Ramirez is playing tonight, and not sure about Lee playing today.

I would expect Ramirez to play tonight, but Lee to sit both games.

From Bruce's blog

Neither D-Lee nor Aramis Ramirez are in the Game 1 lineup. D-Lee was getting treatment on his neck, and the Cubs say that both he and Ramirez will play tonight.

Tony has decided to make game one interesting by putting the no hit/no field twins back to back behind Ludwick....my prediction for the two of them: 1 for nine with 2 errors in the field.

Oh well, Let's play 2! :clapping:

rynefan · July 12, 2009

Hill is catching both?

Fred Hornkohl · July 12, 2009

Hill is catching both?

That wouldn't be a real big surprise, with 3 off days to follow.

Friendly Confines · July 12, 2009

alright cubbies.....1.5, 3.5, or 5.5 back

Show me what ya got! :beg:

Little Slide Rooter · July 12, 2009

Is it me or does that mustach make Skip Schumaker look like one of those guys who likes to tie women to train tracks to piss off Underdog?

Little Slide Rooter · July 12, 2009

Didnt expect that to stay in the park.

Coach C · July 12, 2009

Didnt expect that to stay in the park.

Ditto here. Apparently, it just died out there.
