Scouting Report[/url]"]
Pirates: In his fourth go at getting his 10th win of the year, Duke was denied the victory by his own defense and bullpen. Duke left his last start after 7 1/3 innings, having given up one earned run and one unearned one. He left a runner on base who would eventually score as Duke watched from the bench, which charged Duke with two earned runs allowed in the start. He has pitched at least six innings in 16 of his last 17 starts. Duke is 3-3 with a 3.19 ERA in six career starts at Wrigley Field.

Cubs: Gorzelanny had a strong first outing for the Cubs after a July 30 trade from Pittsburgh, pitching 7 1/3 innings of one-run, three-hit ball against the Reds. His second time out couldn't have been much different as he was touched for six runs on six hits in 1 1/3 innings. He left the game after suffering a contusion on his right foot when it was struck by a hard-hit ball in the second inning, but X-rays showed no fracture and he is expected to make his next start. His two-out, two-run homer allowed to Troy Tulowitzki could be forgiven as the shortstop had a career night, hitting for the cycle and driving in seven, but Gorzelanny gave up four consecutive hits in the second, all of whom scored.

The Basics: Duke sucks because the Pirates suck. Gorz sucks because he was hit by a ball and Tulowitzki is good.

The Good: The Pirates still suck and Gorz doesn't have to face Tulo.

The Bad: Duke usually does good against the Cubs in Wrigley.

So lets crank it up to

Let's continue marching on forward with the power of anti-suck.

Duke is better than Gorzelanny

laurens · August 15, 2009

Duke is better than Gorzelanny

Luckily, the Cubs offense is far better than the Indianapolis Indians.

Psh, but we have more expensive guys!

RammyFanny · August 15, 2009

"It's going to be interesting facing the old 'mates," Gorzelanny told the Pirates' official Web site.

I can just see Gorz saying that in an eye patch doing his best Pirate voice impression.

Keener98 · August 15, 2009

30 mins before gametime, and no lineups anywhere yet?

illiniguy · August 15, 2009

I hate paying for extra innings and not getting any of the home Saturday games. Thanks Bud.

Keener98 · August 15, 2009

Another beauty from Lou today. No Fuku because we face a lefty, nevermind that he had a hit vs Cliff Lee

Theriot

Bradley

Lee

Fox

Baker

Soriano

Soto

Fuld

Gorz

Anyone really believe Aramis is sick?

Friendly Confines · August 15, 2009

Harden?

What are you thinking Illini? Share.

Keener98 · August 15, 2009

Harden?

My fault Gorz not Harden.

illiniguy · August 15, 2009

He's hurt and they are not wanting to admit it. Much like they did with Prior and Wood for years.

I see....but how would a deciet like that benefit the team? I don't understand.

DivineBovine · August 15, 2009

Yes, we won 17-2 yesterday!! Time for a 2-1 loss. The pythagorean Cubs are back!

laurens · August 15, 2009

Wow, 4 pitch walk to freakin' Milledge

illiniguy · August 15, 2009

Wow, 4 pitch walk to freakin' Milledge

GameCast had two of them right down the middle?

Keener98 · August 15, 2009

Na they were all balls.

No, 2 of them were down and 2 were up.

Keener98 · August 15, 2009

I really would like to have another laugher like yesterday.

I figured. GameCast I think if it misses badly just sticks it in the middle with a ball sign.

laurens · August 15, 2009

This time there's a competent pitcher on the mound, so I think you'll have to settle for an easy win.

illiniguy · August 15, 2009

Does anyone else not like Theriot as a leadoff hitter?
