The Cubs are bringing those infidel snakes to their knees! The slow start to the season was just a small bump in the road!

 

 

The Cubs look to make it three in a row and a series win on Sunday as they face the D-backs. The starters will be Jackson (28.1 IP, 36 H, 21 R, 21 ER, 3 HR, 9 BB, 17 K, 6.67 ERA, 1.588 WHIP, .344 BABIP, 17.2 LD%) versus Gorzelanny (22.0 IP, 16 H, 9 R, 6 ER, 0 HR, 7 BB, 17 K, 2.45 ERA, 1.045 WHIP, .262 BABIP, 17.6 LD%)

We here at the NSBB Doppler 4000 Severe Weather Center® are looking for partly sunny skies and highs near 70, with a light breeze blowing from LF to RF.

 

Go Cubs!

[Derwood]

Jackson's numbers are terrible, thus he'll shut the Cubs out for 7 innings

[Schwarber Fan]

Keep up the good work, Truffle.

[Andy]

We won a pitching matchup we should have lost today so I'm guessing the reverse tomorrow.

Been a big fan of Gorzo this season. Here's hoping he keeps it up. Also, please let last night be a sign that Lee is finally waking up.

 

Free Soto from the 8th spot!!!

[Fred Hornkohl]

Truffle.... you do good work, man !!!

 

 

btw..... will it ever stop raining here in Tennessee ???

[Little Slide Rooter]

Am I alone in thinking that it could be time to put Geo in the 5 spot and Aramis to 7 for the time being?

 

Either way, it would be great to go visit our favorite Pittsburg Punching Bags on the heels of a 3 game win streak. Make it happen.

Just remember rain makes corn, corn makes whisky... and you may or may not know the rest...

Soriano and Soto behind our worst hitter this year. Masterstroke.

ARAM's not in the lineup.

Dusty used to pull this lazy type of lineup making too. Remember when Sosa was out, and Dusty replaced him with Trinnidad Hubbard, still batting 3rd?

Ahhhhh, happy memories.

[bcl412]

Assuming Lou is actually still a functioning human being, what the hell is his thinking here?

 

The only things that I can come up with are Tracy used to play with Jackson so maybe he knows him or something stupid, or Tracy was pretty good one year 5 years ago. Maybe he'll recapture that.

 

But batting Tracy ahead of good hitters who are hitting well makes no sense.

[Guest]

All I can figure out is he wants to be fired, so he can continue collecting a paycheck while no longer showing up for work.

[Magdal]

Gorzo looks strong.

[Friendly Confines]

Theriot has been a very solid leadoff hitter so far this year....seeing a lot of pitches and setting the table for the middle of the lineup....even if they haven't been able to bring him home.

[Schwarber Fan]

what an ugly play that was

[Schwarber Fan]

LOL Lou's insane moves working.

[bcl412]

Tracy hitting 5th was a great idea :D
