Win, idiots.

[David]

For the record, idiots, I would have just as soon not made a game thread this early.

[Keener98]

Ted Lilly pitching in Texas with the weather heating up could be very very bad. Im not looking forward to this game

The forecast for Arlington tomorrow night is low 80s/high 70s at the start of the game with decent humidity. It's not that hot and dry yet.

[ctcf]

Will Lou ever learn to stop using Grabow in important situations?

[Schwarber Fan]

Texas is a team I just don't see us beating.

 

I think we get swept, honestly.

[Sammy Sofa]

Good, hopefully we won't see you for the next three days.

is a brutal 2-6 to have to face in Arlington. All have between a .947 and 1.200 OPS in their home park. And Andrus is getting on base at will in the leadoff spot.

 

The Cubs better have their hitting shoes on this weekend.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

I would just assume not doing one at all but it's a mute point because I didn't sign up to start one even though I definately could of.

[UMFan83]

I am not looking forward to hearing the theme music to "The Natural" every time a Ranger goes deep this weekend. I remember how annoying that was in 2007.

 

At least we don't have to worry about Sosa hitting a milestone HR against us.

[TruffleShuffle]

The Cubs better have their hitting shoes on this weekend.

 

i think the cubs only use their hitting shoes against the brewers.

[JonJayCutler]

I consider myself a pretty close follower of baseball but I haven't heard of any of the 3 guys Texas is throwing at us this weekend.

[The Hot Dog Guy]

Whats worse about the lineup vs Lilly, is that these guys in the middle really rake against lefties

[TruffleShuffle]

then you probably should not consider yourself a pretty close follower of baseball

Not even C.J Wilson? He's was in the top 2 in ERA for the AL until he got shelled by the Angels in his last start. I think he was also a very good closer last year but that might have been someone else.

[Old Style]

I will be at all 3 games this weekend and I know many Rangers fans, so I would appreciate at least 2 wins. Make it happen, men.

Heard the name but know nothing about him. I suppose it's a result of the fact that I don't follow the AL very closely except for Fantasy purposes.

 

Anyways, score runs Cubs.

So we're going to DH Nady against the only right hander we face this weekend? Poor Colvin.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Lou has officially lost his damn mind.

[jersey cubs fan]

I haven't been clamoring for Colving to get much more playing time than he's had, but what the heck? This seems ridiculous.

[nick23]

Nady knows the American League dude. Sorry, wrong s***ty manager.

[DiamondMind]

Or the Diamondbacks bullpen. With or without Howry, take your pick.

[JonJayCutler]

Colvin cannot be used as a defensive replacement later on if he is the DH. That said, I don't see why Lou couldn't put him in LF and use Soriano as the DH.
