4/20 - Cubs (Z) @ Mets (Pelfrey) 6:10pm CT WGN

[mhuber92211]

Well, one would think that the Astros and the Mets are the 2 perfect teams to get off the schnide against but apparently, the Cubs like to be givers.

 

Z will return to better Z and the Mets will return to the AAA team they resemble.

 

Go Cubs!

[ctcf]

Stay on the bench, Shark.

[jersey cubs fan]

At least I don't have tickets to tonight's game.

[Old Style]

Go Hawks!

[SouthSideRyan]

I swear the Mets win every game you go to. Should've stopped after Victor Diaz

[Sammy Sofa]

Cubs win the next 3 games. PRINT IT.

I was at the 2003 opener so my run differential is still decent.

[cl smooth]

i'll be at the game tonight (section 523). here's hoping that big z can have a solid outing and the cubs can actually score some runs. last night was god-awful.

 

what was the attendance last night?

Probably higher than the actual number of people there. 523 was about where the cutoff was of people in the upper deck, most of the OF ones were empty. The entire row in front of us was empty, and we were down low.

Close to 29,000

[otis89]

Don't the Cubs deserve to be Cobbed in the thread title by now?

[Flames24Rulz]

Go Hawks!

[haubrich91]

Maybe this game won't suck as bad as last night.

 

I wonder if Z will be on a pitch count coming off his 121 pitch performance just a few days ago.

Fontenot at shortstop is going to be a whole lot of fun.

Fontenot at shortstop is going to be a whole lot of fun.

 

especially with Z on the mound.

 

 

You might suggest Theriot is entering lou's doghouse.

[ctcf]

Send Colvin to AAA for crying out loud.

Stop sitting Soto so much, you stupid old bastard. We're in the middle of 6 night games in a row.

Koyie Hill is taking the teachers pet role from Theriot.

[Andy]

As was predicted by...almost everyone, that "we're gonna play the kid" thing lasted about 2 weeks. Soto is benched for no reason. Theriot finally getting benched WOULD be good if we had any kind of capable backup.

Colvin is still projected to play in nearly every game and get 280+ plate appearances. He's got a line of .222/.333/.444. How much more do you want him to play, and why?

7th inning defensive replacement every game is not enough playing time, and he needs at least one start a series. Otherwise, we might as well stash him in Iowa and let him improve.

At least one start per series is not a spot start. That's a regular platoon. Soriano has an OPS over 1000 the last 7 games. Byrd and Fukudome both deserve to start today.

 

Tyler Colvin is still just Tyler Colvin. He doesn't need to be starting every third day.
