4/18 - Astros (Wandy) @ Cubs (Dempster) 1:20 PM WGN/720

[UMFan83]

4-2 homestand anyone?

 

I'll take it. Let's avoid letting the Astros win their first series of the season. Go Cubs!

[erik316wttn]

Win, idiots.

[tfarks]

Well baker will be in there. Will Lou rest fukudome with Nady or leave a lefty in there?

[CubbieBum]

Dempster is worthless. I wish we just dump him even if we have to eat his salary.

[Cubswin11]

Come on schmucks let's leave town with a winning home stand and a .500 record.

[Sammys Boombox]

Really wanted a 5-1 homestand. Will be angry with a 3-3 homestand.

[haubrich91]

A win would be nice. Hopefully Wandy doesn't dominate us like he's done in the past.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

This will be my first Cubs-Astros game since 2001. That day Richard Hidalgo hit a ball off Farnsworth that still hasn't landed.

[inari]

A win would go a long way towards continuing to raise my hopes about this team. I'm not really expecting the playoffs, but an 85+ win season would certainly be entertaining at least.

Maybe you'll see Byrd's from Thursday, too.

[Andy]

How the hell are we only two games out of first?

Why? Because they can win 2 of 3 from a terrible team?

Go Cubs!

[JonJayCutler]

The two good hitters in the Astros lineup are both hitting under .150.

 

Win, Cubs.

[GlassCow]

Good start. Dempster has the sinker working.

[Ski]

Hit Wangdy, please.

[Guancous]

Wandy hasn't exhibited his control from last year. He might be playing hurt.

[Ski]

Can't that blooper go a bit further?

[Cubs Fan Dan]

In other games, Marquis gave up 7 of the 10 runs in the first inning of the Brewers nationals.

[GlassCow]

Please don't tell me we're gonna be blanked by Wandy today. That would be a disaster.

[Cubs Fan Dan]

Please don't tell me we're gonna be blanked by Wandy today. That would be a disaster.

 

 

Okay... We will not get blanked by Wandy today.
