4/27 Cubs (Maholm) @ Phillies (Halladay) 6:05 CSN/MLBN

[El Duderino]

Ugh matchup.

[SouthSideRyan]

Luckily, we're facing the Phillies offense.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

What's the record for the closest two perfect games?

[bcl412]

I'm predicting a random, unexpected outburst of offense from the Cubs.

[Guest]

Luckily, we're facing the Phillies offense.

 

And we always beat Halladay.

[Smack]

days off suck

[bcl412]

days off suck

 

I didn't even register that this game wasn't tomorrow. That sucks.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Wow, their lineup rivals ours as for as badness goes. Of course their rotation is a bit better.

[javy knows my name]

Also, does juan pierre have an abnormally tiny head, or does he purchase his hats at a costume shop?

 

Yes, absolutely.

[El Duderino]

ugh, cb bucknor

[InconspicuousZ28]

Juan [expletive] Pierre. That thing was almost a yard off the plate.

[bcl412]

A double play would be nice.

[Schwarber Fan]

wow, nice job Paul

[bcl412]

Halladay is really good.

[Schwarber Fan]

Yeah, I'm done with CSN Philly after those last 2 half innings

[Rizzo Smash]

Think we're going to see history tonight.

[bcl412]

I love the "that pitcher is good so we'll give him inches off the strike zone" umpires.

[El Duderino]

I love the "that pitcher is good so we'll give him inches off the strike zone" umpires.

 

I don't think that was the case there, CB Bucknor is just the worst umpire in the league.

[Careless]

Bob: that's a CB bucknor strike

 

Campana is a silly player.

[bcl412]

I wish Campana could get on base more. His speed is awesome.

[Guest]

I wish Campana could get on base more. His speed is awesome.

 

Unimpressed by his .467 OBP?

[TruffleShuffle]

i don't know how campana was caught stealing 31% of the time in 2010 (with tennessee). he's really damn fast.
