4/24 Dodgers (Kuroda) @ Cubs (Z) 1:20 PM CSN/TBS

[otis89]

Well, the Cubs did what they've done all season long. They got back to .500. Let's get above .500 today, shall we?

 

We have Carlos Zambrano (2-0, 4.21 ERA, 1.25 WHIP)

facing Hiroki Kuroda (2-2, 3.33 ERA, 1.19 WHIP), who apparently has an orange tongue.

Once again, for good luck, here's a dog half-walking on a treadmill.

Lets take this mother loving series.

Get this one and only 1 of 3 against the Rockies is necessary for a winning homestand.

[ctcf]

Win, dorks.

[CubmanPi]

2 out of 3 is just as good as a sweep, so here's to breaking out the brooms. Or is that not how it works?

[JonJayCutler]

Castro gets back over .400 today.

[MWV]

Other than Soto hitting 8th, that's a pretty good lineup. Go Cubs.

[Little Slide Rooter]

This could actaually be a really good lineup id Pena can get it together. Not a lot of players in baseball have as much riding on this season as he does.

[C.C.]

Listening to Murphy this morning and he seems hell bent on getting Fielder. I'd love to see him at first base, but he's going to eat himself into a DH.

[Schwarber Fan]

Brewers PBP doing the game on TBS, ugh.

 

At least its not Ernie Johnson.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Miles tripled to right field

[Schwarber Fan]

good start

[PrimeTime]

Aaron freakin miles triple?? My God..

[Fred Hornkohl]

Blake hit by pitch

[Southpaw191679666239]

Lineup per Miles tweet:

 

Kosuke

Barney

Castro

Ramirez

Pena

Byrd

Sori

Soto

Z

 

That's the lineup that scores 26 runs today.

 

Yet Pena would go 0-fer in the process.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Ethier grounded an IF single to first base, Miles scored, Blake to second

[Fred Hornkohl]

Kemp singled to left field, Blake scored, Ethier to second

[PrimeTime]

Well this is going to be over in the 1st inning it looks like today

[mike2482]

Why is TBS blacked out for me when I can't even get Comcast through my cable provider.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Sands doubled to right field, Ethier scored, Kemp to third

[inari]

This isn't exactly how I hoped they'd build momentum off yesterday.

[Yeti]

gotta love turning on the tv to find it 2-0 with 0 outs in the first...haha, make that 3-0
