5/19 Idiots (Gorzelanny) @ Phillies (Moyer) - 6:05 CST, CSN

Flames24Rulz · May 19, 2010

Three wins in a row constitutes a winning streak. We look to make it four in a row against NL favorite Philadelphia at Citizens Bank Park tomorrow evening. Former Cub legend Jamie Moyer (old enough to be Tom Gorzelanny's grandfather) will be on the hill for the Phillies. CBP has not been kind to the Cubs in recent years but hopefully another one of these weird two game sets changes our fortunes a little.

Starlin Castro watch: .350/.422/.500

Go Blackhawks.

Next 11 games are against PHI, TEX, LAD, and STL could get ugly, could be start of us reestablishing ourselves as a somewhat decent team. Win schmucks!

Women and children will be advised not to watch. This one is going to get brutal in a hurry.

Still "idiots" after three straight wins? I think an upgrade to "cobs" is in order.

Cubs get another mini-sweep. Cowardly pussies can bow out now.

I'm guessing that he is connecting those 3 straight wins with the fact that he has called them "Idiots" in 3 straight games.

Yes. And besides, we're still under .500. That alone deserves "idiot" status.

Hell until we beat the Pirates this year I think they should be named "idiots".

FWIW.... we did beat the Pirates on Sunday.

Stanley Cup preview?

jersey cubs fan · May 19, 2010

I think this is the first year in a decade (and what a great decade it was) that I won't be attending a Cubs game in Philly. Two trends I've seen there has been really freaking hot weather at the games and going from Cubs winning most matchups to Philly dominating nearly every game I've seen. I'm going to reserve any potential Philly trip for a Stanley Cup matchup.

i was thinking about going, as well, but them i remember their piss-poor showing at citi field last month when i was in attendance and decided to change my mind. i'll catch the cubs again in person when i go back home to chicago for a weekend next month.

Cubs never seem to beat the Phillies (that makes sense in recent years). That would be great if they started now.

Keener98 · May 19, 2010

Hell until we beat the Pirates this year I think they should be named "idiots".

FWIW.... we did beat the Pirates on Sunday.

DOH! :doh:

javy knows my name · May 19, 2010

They are going to tee off on Gorzo tonight. And the Cubs will be stymied by Moyer. Cubs' win streak ends in a laugher tonight

I bet you remember that first Phillies loss like it was yesterday.

Fred Hornkohl · May 19, 2010

I bet you remember that first Phillies loss like it was yesterday.

Now that you mention it..... The Philadelphia Quakers (they didn't start calling themselves the Phillies until their 3rd year) lost their first 8 games in their inaugural season (1883), including the last 2 to the Chicago White Stockings; 11-9 losing to Goldsmith, and 6-1 losing to Corcoran. Unfortunately, the Philadelphia franchise got their first ever victory the following day when they faced Goldsmith again and beat him 12-1.

The Quakers finished that season with a dismal 17-81 (.173) record, dead last in the National League and a full 42 games behind the second place White Stockings. It would take this pathetic franchise 97 years before they won a world series. Now that they've got 2 titles in 30 years..... that's not a big deal, it's an aberration !!
