The Cubs are awesome! Things will turn around! The National League mongrels will cower at our feet!

 

 

Our beloved Cobs take on the Diamondbacks, who - to put it mildly - tend to give us some problems. The starting pitcher matchup is Wells versus Lopez:

Im getting up at the ass crack of dawn to drive 3.5 hours to come watch this crap. It would be really nice if they got their head out of their ass and started playing some good baseball.

 

Im really pissed I couldnt find a shirt with "Fire Lou" on it. I looked everywhere I could think to so I could wear it to this game but no luck.

Is the protest going on tomorrow as well?

If so you might be able to score some cheap tickets from people who are too afraid to upset the protesters, and aren't true Cub fans

I predict a lot of first-pitch swings and easy ground outs for the Northside Nine today.

It would probably be easier to get cheap tickets from people who don't care about watching the Cubs keep sucking, or just the team itself, since they haven't been selling out.

[weis21]

Caught a break there.

 

Hopefully Theriot doesn't get gunned down trying to steal.

[weis21]

Or a double play would work, too.

Hendry says Castro will be called up this season.

Can anybody tell me why Soto isn't hitting 3rd/4th/5th in the lineup? Anybody?

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Catchers have to hit 7th or 8th. It's in the Geneva Convention.

lou piniella is a bad manager. hope that clears things up.

[MSG T]

Because Lou's an idiot.

What the hell are you talking about? You think someone's going to scalp their tickets because others are boycotting Arizona? Come on.

[BigbadB1679666149]

Soto just might get to bat in the 3rd inning. Awesome!
