8/10 Cubs (Gorzelanny) @ Rockies (De La Rosa) 7:40CT CSN

Roast · August 10, 2009

What a completely odd series. I really assumed today would be an off-day as I don't think I've ever seen a series run from friday to monday. Weird. Anyway, whoever is up for today's game hasn't showed yet so I've taken it upon myself to spot-start. A mod can delete/lock/merge this if the appropriate person shows up or one of the regular spot starters wants to start a thread, in the meantime...

Today we are throwing this guy:

(4-1) 3.38 ERA .875 WHIP [with us, he's (1-0) 1.23 ERA .545 WHIP]

The Rockies counter with a guy with two spaces in his last name:

(9-8) 5.00 ERA 1.373 WHIP

Uh, go Cubs. Don't fall any further out of first, please.

d'oh, missed my turn. I thought I had until noon on day of game to put the thread up?

C.C. · August 10, 2009

after playing like complete crap this series we still have a chance to split and split it we will. Cubs win this in a laugher. 9-2

Go ahead and put it up... these threads can be merged

Dear Cubs,

Apparently you're a Major League baseball team. If this is true, please start playing like one.

Thanks

Keener98 · August 10, 2009

If we win today we have a roadtrip of 5-5. I know we all would like to have better, but playing .500 on the road is really what you are supposed to do. If we come home and have a 5-1 homestand, Ill be pretty happy with this stretch of the schedule.

Prizefight · August 10, 2009

Please win.

You do, technically. I woke up early and was bored. Feel free to start one and this can be locked/merged. Failing that, you're up tomorrow regardless the outcome of this game.

Does it count if I know who he is but haven't spoken to him in like 6+ years? I'm not up on what counts as a bastard anymore.

RedFlash · August 10, 2009

I know it won't happen but the Cubs are truly due a complete laughable game. I would like to see the Cubs put up 3 TDs tonight. Again I know it won't happen, but.....

Last time the CUBS scored 21 runs in a game.... Fri 18 Aug 95 in an 26-7 win at Colorado

Go CUBS !!

Maybe if we factor in a few missed extra points or 2 point conversions it's possible :-k

NeifiIsMyHomeBoy · August 10, 2009

I've been out of the loop the last few days due to my move to St. Louis. Hopefully we win today, from what I saw in pieces of yesterdays game we looked like absolute crap. I think MLB TV is looking like a hell of an investment for the rest of the season.

I live here and couldn't get by without it. Welcome to the neighborhood...there are quite a few of us down here...

21 runs, d'uh.. :wink: :)

Again, I said it's unlikely, so consider it wishful thinking.

CyHawk_Cub · August 10, 2009

Well, I had a bad feeling about this series last week (thinking at best we'd go 1-3), so a win tonight would totally blow out of the water my concerns. Come on offense!!

I remember this game. It was at Mile High Stadium. SportsCenter sped up the highlight reel. Haha.
