Yovani Gallardo

4-4, 4.22 ERA

Career vs. Cubs: 5-1, with a 2.77 ERA in 11 starts. 68.1 IP, 77 K and 28 BB.

 

The Cubs try to snap their 11 game road losing streak. The Cub offense has gone frozen solid after the home series against the Padres, scoring six runs in four games at San Francisco. Both starting pitchers in this match up have fared well against the opposition, so we'll see what gives.

Aside from the White Sox, when it comes to games with nothing at stake there's no team I hate losing to more than the Brewers. Let's not lose to the Brewers.

[Soul]

And the season trudges on.

[weis21]

I'll watch, but more interested in the draft (as I'd imagine many of you are). I'm pretty much just counting down the days until Rizzo arrives and hoping Jackson can stay hot and make his arrival shortly thereafter.

 

My most obnoxious cousin is a Brewers fan that irrationally hates the Cubs. I think it's a jealous of the attention thing. I also don't think he likes me or the rest of the family. He's a swell guy. Go Cubs!

It's a Milwaukee/Chicago thing as much as Brewers/Cubs. I went to school in Wisconsin for 5 years and spent many a summer there. The city of Milwaukee has a bizzare, one sided rivalry with Chicago. The little brother complex if you will.

[woodchip2153]

Lineup: Campana CF, Castro SS, DeJesus RF, Soriano LF, LaHair 1B, Clevenger C, Barney 2B, Stewart 3B, Dempster P

[Cubswin11]

Fonzie \:D/ up that trade value buddy!

[CubmanPi]

Ian Stewart looked over-matched in his AB.

[Sammy Sofa]

Oh my gorsh, how did Castro ever handle three defensive plays in a row, what with him being a mental midget and all?

[CincyCubsFan]

I like Bob Uecker.

[Magnetic Curses]

if he throws a perfect game his trade value better go through the roof.

Somebody give him a code red.

[Sosa21MVP]

OMG DON'T JINX IT.

 

But yeah, I agree with you.

[Sammy Sofa]

Dempster's going to throw a no-hitter and the actual game thread will be, like, three pages.

[Sammy Sofa]

"Singled to shortstop?!?!" CASTRO, HOW DARE YOU.

[El Duderino]

too bad Dempster came out so small, so nervous

well [expletive]

[SouthSideRyan]

WAY TO GO SULLEY

[kujay]

Saw something on Twitter and turned game on just as Ross ripped that one. My fault.

[Sammy Sofa]

too bad Dempster came out so small, so nervous

 

Hahahahahah! Nice.

[Guest]

Aoki should try laying down on the ground as the pitch comes in, he might have a 1.000 OBP.

[Sammy Sofa]

Who was it with that "so small, so nervous?" Wasn't it Backtobanks? Petition to make that his title/status thingie.

[El Duderino]

We've certainly suckled on Salma Hayek's teats tonight.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Last time the CUBS held the opponents to 2 hits in a game.... Sun 29 Apr 2012 (2 hits) in a 5-1 win at Philadelphia

 

 

Go CUBS !!
