0-3, 1.83 ERA, 19.2 IP, 1.271 WHIP, 4/6 K/BB

 

VERSUS

Matt Garza. Found this on GIS and have no clue as to why it exists. In memory of Roast who I don't recall ever seeing anymore.

0-2, 6.27 ERA, 18.2 IP, 1.714 WHIP, 25/5 K/BB

I know I always do this, but...

 

there's no way in hell this game gets played.

Would kinda suck to have to do the Russell-Shark Experiment during a double header.

[BeerHere]

I realize that it is out of necessity, but Russell doesn't really seem like much of a bullpen arm to me let alone a starter. JR Mathes would seem like the better-of-the-worst options to me.

Let's check in with Truffle for the weather:

OK then. Looks good to me.

If there is one offense I'd want James Russell to face, its the Padres.

Look for Reed Johnson to get the start today.

Fukudome's wife is having a baby.

 

with a Cincinatti loss and a Chicago win, Cubs can be tied for the Division lead.

There could conceivably be a 5-way tie for first place after play tonight.

Bruce Miles is not at all optimistic about this game getting in on his Twitter feed.

That would require the Cubs to win back-to-back games, which they haven't done yet this year.

 

They're still at .500, though, which also indicates they haven't lost back-to-back much this year either.

The Cubs won the first 2 games against the D'Backs-their only 2 game winning streak of the year (the two against the Brewers are their only 2 game losing streak).

Apparently the game has been postponed in favor of a DH tomorrow

Lame.

 

Updated the thread for tomorrow's game. Will change the pitchers when I see something.

Weather is pretty crappy

On the glass-half-empty side, the Cubs are also in striking distance of fifth place.

On the glass-is-still-brand-new side, the season is 2 weeks old.
