5/18 Rockies (Chacin) @ Idiots (Silva) - 7:05 CST, CSN

Flames24Rulz · May 18, 2010

For some reason, the schedule makers decided back-to-back two game sets would be a great idea. Our collective bunch of champions will try to "sweep" the Rockies and head to Philadelphia riding a gigantic three game winning streak before yet another idiotic two game series.

Starlin Castro watch: .361/.439/.528

Oh, and Carlos Silva is undefeated. Let's hope that oddity continues for another day.

Go CUBS !!!

JonJayCutler · May 18, 2010

I don't like Silva against this lineup and I also don't like our chances against a good prospect pitcher we've never seen before. Prove me wrong Cubs.

Derwood · May 18, 2010

Walt Weiss will go 3 for 4 with a walk, scoring on homers by Bichette and Galarraga as the Rockies win 6-1

NCCubFan · May 18, 2010

I don't like Silva against this lineup.....

Maybe a bad outing for Silva would be the justification for Zambrano's pending move back to the rotation.

Cubswin11 · May 18, 2010

Does this Chacin dude have good stuff, was/is he a highly touted prospect? Or are his good results so far due to teams not really having a book on him?

May 18, 2010

Current ranks look to be about 3rd in the Colorado farm system and #71 overall by Baseball America.

Fastball tops out around 95 with good placement and late movement.

He was Baseball America's #2 Rockies prospect (behind Fowler) in 2009.

The Cubs and Rockies always have at least one crazy game each year. Could tonight be it?

bcl412 · May 18, 2010

The Cubs and Rockies always have at least one crazy game each year. Could tonight be it?

I'd say Lou pitching Grabow in the 8th last night was crazy. Does that count?

MWV · May 19, 2010

Cubs' batting order by OPS:

1 - .957

2 - .702

3 - .676

4 - .533

5 - .951

6 - .915

7 - .927

8 - .967

9 - Pitcher

Hilarious. With the exception of Fukudome in the leadoff spot, this is pretty much the "Bizarro Lineup".

sweetpeteman · May 19, 2010

Good to see the 3 and 4 hitters fail to score a run from third with less then two outs.

MWV · May 19, 2010

Lee and/or Ramirez have to move down. This is ridiculous.

erik316wttn · May 19, 2010

Lee and/or Ramirez have to move down. This is ridiculous.

But then that would hurt their precious, fragile feelings.

Careless · May 19, 2010

But will she sing the stretch and do an interview in the 7th? Because that would be enjoyably weird

Oh, they're interviewing her in the third inning. Seeing her in Cubs gear is weird.

SouthSideRyan · May 19, 2010

Sandra Day O' Connor sounds like she's about 138 years old

wekim81 · May 19, 2010

Good god get this old bag of bones off my TV

erik316wttn · May 19, 2010

Sandra Day O' Connor sounds like she's about 138 years old

That's because she is.

Eric Clipperton · May 19, 2010

Wow, that was hilarious!

best moment was the lazy fly ball ending the top half of the third, and JSDOC cooed "oooh, that's a big hit"

Careless · May 19, 2010

Sandra Day O' Connor sounds like she's about 138 years old

That's because she is.

And she's 10 years younger than the guy who's retiring now.

5/18 Rockies (Chacin) @ Idiots (Silva) - 7:05 CST, CSN
