5/25 Cubs (Dempster) @ Pirates (Burnett) 6:05 on CSN

[Smack]

We're getting trolled by a Pirates fan. I'm gonna go let that sink in for a while.

 

As I well know, you gotta get your shots in while you can!

[Smack]

Stewart scratched for tonight Cardenas will take his spot.

[Jake]

Tabata 7, Harrison 9, McCutchen 8, Alvarez 5, Walker 4, Hague 3, Barajas 2, Barmes 6, Burnett 1

[illiniguy]

Ouch

 

But the Cubs are, once again, the Cubs, and if a player or a team needs to break a slump, this is the team to do it against. That's why God invented the Cubs, I think.

lol, who was President the last time the Pirates had a winning record? Reagan?

 

never mind. too easy.

 

Oh, were you going to rub that World Series victory from the Carter administration in our faces? Did you go to Princeton? Maybe you can rub their 28 college football championships in our faces too, lol.

 

I know you're just having fun, but it's pretty amusing that a columnist for the Pittsburgh paper is taking shots at the Cubs. Was he even alive the last time the Pirates won a World Series?

Like you talking up Purdue dominating the Big Ten funny? Lol.

[Smack]

[jersey cubs fan]

What the hell is Barney doing up that high?

[nick23]

That's the worst lineup I've ever seen. How are we only 10 games out of first?

[illiniguy]

Koyie Hill, barely OPSing .500 at AA is gonna play everyday for us. I love major league baseball managers.

[Guest]

Mather is in CF, in case you were curious.

[jersey cubs fan]

Stewart is hurt?

[Little Slide Rooter]

Tabata 7, Harrison 9, McCutchen 8, Alvarez 5, Walker 4, Hague 3, Barajas 2, Barmes 6, Burnett 1

 

He'll beat us single handedly in each of the 3 games.

Well, I don't go to O$U, MSU, or IU boards and talk trash... Purdue hasn't 'dominated' the Big Ten in a long time, though we do have a winning record against every team except OSU. As for the Illini, we have dominated you guys recently, and have a better record in the all-time series too! 8-) But we have a college basketball thread for these fun debates...

I think that Clevenger's due back sooner than later.

Stewart is hurt?

#Cubs Ian Stewart sidelined because of soreness in left wrist. Nothing new, just same discomfort he's dealt with all season

I know, was just messing with you.

neely placed a phone call.

NL Central, that's why.

[dfnowak]

Joe Mather is batting third on a major league baseball team

And we thought it was bad when Marlon Byrd batted third every day...

[Schwarber Fan]

Hitting .273 during a 9 game losing streak has to be some sort of morbid record.

[d_money]

Koyie "buzz kill" Hill

[Schwarber Fan]

of course that little bobble leads to a run... it's the 2012 Cubs

[Bryants Disco Ball]

Although he just hit the ball one foot, Starlin has been having better at bats the last two games. If he keeps this up, the walks and a hot streak will come.

[Schwarber Fan]

playing third is hard

Why do you think the walks will come?

[Magnetic Curses]

remember, the worse of a ballclub we are today, the better we'll be in 15 years.
