4/25 Cubs (Garza) vs Rockies (Rogers) 7:05 CSN

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Nothing fancy here....

 

Garza (0-2, 4.74 ERA)

 

vs

 

Rogers (2-1, 6.75 ERA)

 

Time to get back to .500.

 

Go Cubs!

[Little Slide Rooter]

At least we'll win games 1 and 3, because thats how this team rolls.

[otis89]

Now would be an excellent time for Garza to start performing like he's capable of.

 

Edit: I guess I forgot Garza actually had a good outing his last time out.

Actually it would be win Game 1, split games 2 and 3.

I'm starting to get nausea on these bunny hills, and i usually like rollercoasters.

[Schwarber Fan]

These really is an awful year to be so mediocre. If they want to make a playoff run, that would be swell, but if not, Id rather they just call off the season in July, as Aramis, Kosuke, Wood, and Pena, if he heats up should be able to really boost the farm.

Please don't let it be a rain out/delay. I have tickets to this game.

I read a stat the other day that the Cubs have set the ML record for the most stops at the .500 mark though the first 20 games of the season. So, yay on our historic mediocrity, I guess. It could be worse, I suppose. At least we didn't start off like we did in 1997.

[Southpaw191679666239]

I too, have tickets to tonight's game, and I am sitting the closest I've ever been.... so I'm really hoping to at least get inside to take pictures. :) Oh, and a game would be nice too. ;)

I always sit in the front row

 

of the bleachers.

 

Still a great view.

[JonJayCutler]

First reaction was that Kenny Rogers had come out of retirement and was pitching this game.

yuck.

It really sucks our 4-6 hitters are pretty much the worst ones in our lineup

[BeerHere]

Not sure why Quade keeps Soto 8th.

[JonJayCutler]

Rain is supposed to hold off until around 9 PM. Looks like they'll get this one in.

[UMFan83]

Our cleanup hitter....is Jeff Baker...

 

I know he's been pretty good, especially with lefties, but weird. It reminds me of Dusty's theory of putting the sub in the same spot of the batting order the normal player would be in (for example hitting Trinidad Hubbard 3rd when Sosa was on the DL for sneezing).

And he's not good vs. RHP, makes no sense

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Jeff Baker will have 3 hits tonight, and you will all feel silly.

[TruffleShuffle]

quade thinks esmil rogers is a LHP, that can be the only explanation for that lineup.
