Re: 5/20 Idiots (Dempster) @ Phillies (Blanton) - 12:05 CST, WGN


Behind the strength of Tom Gorzelanny and some timely hitting, the Cubs were able to defeat the Phillies in the first of a modified two game series. Four wins in a row is nice but we're still three under .500. Idiot status will remain at least a few more days for the beloved. Can the Cubs make it five in a row, including sweeping another two game set, tomorrow afternoon? They'll have to do it against one of the fatter pitchers in the league in Joe Blanton on getaway day.

 

Starlin Castro watch: .364/.429/.500

This has been a pretty brutal couple of days for the Cubs, schedule-wise.

They get into Philadelphia early in the am, play a night game and follow up with a day game the next day.

That said, I think we win this one. I've taken a shine to these Idiots.

4 wins in a row.

 

Are they allowed to do that?

 

The better question is.... are they allowed to do 5 in a row ????

 

The last time the CUBS won 5 in a row....... Moyer had a hand in that, too !!

For what it's worth Geovany Soto has started 16 of the last 19 games for the CUBS. That projects out to 136 starts over a whole season. Now you can call me crazy if you want to, Lord knows it's been done before, but I think 136 starts is a real good level of playing time for your starting catcher.

Geo's been in a pretty bad slump lately anyways so maybe a day off isn't the worst thing.

 

.107/.286/.107/.393 (3-28) in his last 10 games.

 

His last 5 starts:

 

.143 .368 .143 .511

 

Clearly still in a bit of a slump, but a pretty significant difference from the line you're reaching back to.

But he just had one, and he's probably going to have one this weekend (there's a day/night in Texas), and then another on Monday.
