Re: 5/7 Braves (Hanson) @ Cubs (SHARK) WCIU 7:05 PM

[ctcf]

The positively shocking Shark looks to continue his recent streak of dominance. Feels like quite a while since the Cubs have actually lost a series, so let's keep it that way.

 

But until 7:05... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=swMzRlFvKMc

Another gloomy day in the forecast... hopefully it clears by 7 and the field doesn't take too much water

You know, every time you proclaim that the game will get rained out...... it doesn't.

No way that's true. We'd never have any rain outs.

CUBS are 9-1 (0.900) vs. Atlanta on 07 May

 

I hereby proclaim that the Cubs should only be allowed to play the Braves on May 7.

[Little Slide Rooter]

@BruceMiles2112: #Cubs will get set to welcome infielder Adrian Cardenas from AAA Iowa for tonight's series opener with Braves

 

I wonder if he'll start and if so at 2nd or 3rd.

[El Duderino]

if he's starting, it better be at 2nd

[ctcf]

if he's starting, it better be at 2nd

 

Could very well be at 3rd if Stewart is still sick.

[haubrich91]

I hate WCIU with a passion.

forgot about that. Why couldn't Barney get sick? #-o

[bcl412]

Is Garza going to pitch this series? I'd like to see our best three pitchers going against them.

last I heard he's not pitching until Friday.

That's what ESPN says with their projected starters. I was hoping it was wrong.

I don't understand why being sick on Saturday (and telling reporters he felt fine later) would cause him to need 12 days between starts. It would seem to me there are other guys they'd like to skip or bump to get Garza in there again.

[Rizzo Smash]

At this point, Shark, Dempster, and Maholm are pitching well too. Maybe not as good as Garza but I'm fine with all of them out there. Anybody but Volstad.

It's probably a joke because AF just said it yesterday and they got the whole game in.

As usual.

If only we had WSR and his super accurate cell-phone weather reports.

[Rizzo Smash]

The weather is going to be fine tonight. As soon as this stuff gets out of there there won't be any rain for the rest of the night.
