The Cubs suck. Hopefully they win. or if they don't, it doesn't really matter. We're not making the playoffs anyways

That makes 2 of us. The wife owes me for the Time Travellers effing Wife, which was almost as fun to watch as the past 2 weeks of Cobs baseball.

[Vanilla Ice]

who changed my thread name

[E.J.]

Ugh. I really don't want to watch Fox.

[RedFlash]

Well, apparently Andre Ethier, Russell Martin and James Loney will be sitting out the game today, and that Pierre, Ausmus and Loretta will be starting for them.

It's sad that even with three regulars out of the line-up, they still have a really big chance of winning.

Same here. The previews make it look like Benjamin Button but even worse.

[Flames24Rulz]

I'll try to find something to do from 3-6 today.

Thankfully I work 330-midnight so I won't be tempted to watch this stinkeroo.

[UMFan83]

Can't wait to see us get knucleballed to death. I wonder when the last time the Cubs have gone against a knucleballer.

[Shilzzz]

why do they play aaron miles so consistently? it baffles me. if he doesn't start he is one of the first pinch hitters chosen. blows my mind.

And Andres Blanco is still rotting away in AAA...

Did Wakefield start one of the Red Sox games in '04?

[E.J.]

Andres Blanco has over a 1.000 OPS in his 9 games since starting his "rehab" back at Iowa. He was 3-4 last night with 3 doubles.

[Sammys Boombox]

Bradley is hitting right-handed against a righty and Stockton and Karros don't even mention it.

[E.J.]

Little Pete Rose!
