4/18 Padres (Stauffer) @ Cubs (Z!) 7:05 p.m., WCIU

[Soul]

Soriano YOU .

[Ballgame64]

Night games in April at Wrgley Field are so foolish. The Cubs deserve to have attendance like the Pirates.

 

I'd much rather see a new stadium similar to Miller Park than have the ownership group waste money on Wrigley.

Imagine that, we caught a break !!

[Guest]

DeWitt in the on deck circle, though that only means Z is done if his spot in the order comes up this inning.

 

Wood warming up in the pen.

[Guest]

Geo swung at ball 4.

[Guest]

Great outing from Z.

 

8 IP, 3 H, 1 BB, 10 K and retired the last 13 hitters he faced.

[ctcf]

Absolutely fantastic game for Carlos.

 

GET SOME RUNS COBS

Geo swung at ball 4.

 

There's no reason to even think about throwing a strike.

 

Just toss it about 2 feet wide of the plate and the Cubs will oblige. Ridiculous.

With Marmol waiting in the ninth, I'll settle for one run.

[MWV]

Outstanding outing from Z. Way to step up and save the 'pen for tomorrow.

Let's just play at McCormick Place because that's basically what that monstrosity in Milwaukee is.

Of course, with the way this thing is going it's going to be all for nothing after the game goes 15 innings.

[Soul]

Holy crap, Marshall.

 

That was beautiful.

[Guest]

Marmol in to face Cantu with 2 outs.

 

Here's hoping for the Cubs' first walkoff win of the year.

BS - Miller Park isn't perfect but it is a great place to attend a game. I don't understand the attraction of an old crappy stadium where the home team has never won a championship and the weather can make it a miserable experience.

Crap

[SouthSideRyan]

I don't understand the appeal of playing baseball in a venue befitting an arena football league team. It is a terrible [expletive] place to watch a game. Edited April 19, 2011 by SouthSideRyan

good job Carlos.

[Soul]

Game is right there to win, and the core of the lineup is coming up.

 

How about flat out getting it done, right here.

[javy knows my name]

Crap

 

What? I've been going back and forth with the Bulls game.

Marmol hit Cantu with the first pitch he threw but got out of it.

What? Marlon Byrd is up, that couldn't possibly by the co-

 

ugh

[Soul]

I think it's settled: Byrd's definitely not getting roids from Conte.

Gah. You're probably right.
