8/24 Rockies (Pomeranz) @ Cubs (Samardzija) 1:20 PM CT WGN

The Cubs death train keeps on rolling. Football is getting nearer and everyday closer to week 1 the Cubs move further from the public's collective conscious. At the very least it would be nice to see Rizzo get out of his slump, Casto and Shark (until shut down) finish strong and BJax and Vitters show signs of life.

 

Sorry for the LLF like stream of consciousness post.

Atleast were in the #2 slot right now for next years draft. To bad we won't catch the Astros for #1

Atleast were in the #2 slot right now for next years draft. To bad we won't catch the Astros for #1

We play the Astros 6 more times, just let Rusin, Raley, and Volstad start all 6 games and don't play Rizzo/Castro/Soriano/Dejesus in any of those games and we might have a chance. Rockies won again today (8/23) that makes 5 in a row for them so hopefully they keep on their winning ways this weekend to help make #2 more secure for us.

In more positive news, I managed to sell my Cubs tix to some sucker! StubHub check on the way :)

[Magnetic Curses]

[expletive] this [expletive]. another season at this level or worse is going to be unbearable.

[Magnetic Curses]

it's not so much the losing so much as the not hitting at all ever

[Theo]

I still think the #1 overall pick is achievable this year.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Vitters' BABIP down to .143. Dude could really use some luck.

[El Duderino]

Beef.

[Theo]

Yeah, small sample size, but Welington is putting together a nice little run for himself here.

[ctcf]

Holy [expletive], a Vitters walk

[Elrhino]

We're the 1927 Murderers' Row of suck, but the Astros are the 1906 Cubs of suck.

[Magnetic Curses]

glenn beckert, of the career .663 OPS, is giving hitting tips in the booth.

 

"just put the ball in play and anything can happen!"

[MWV]

Jackson makes contact with a 2 strike pitch. And hits a HR.

 

I would've taken either/or, getting both is great.

[MWV]

Meanwhile the Cubs have 3 hits on the day and all 3 are solo home runs.

 

Edit: And as I hit send, Valbuena hits a 2B.

Edited August 24, 2012 by MWV

[Magnetic Curses]

it's nice to see the cubs hit a hanging pitch.

[Magnetic Curses]

jackson almost hit one in his last at bat, too.

[squally1313]

God if just one of these two can pan out. So happy for Jackson. Needs to show that power to justify all the strikeouts.

[Sosa21MVP]

Woohoo I stay above .500 as a game thread starter! \:D/

[sneakypower]

"just put the ball in play and anything can happen!"

it was strangely prophetic

[Little Slide Rooter]

I still think the #1 overall pick is achievable this year.

 

Right now, we're 20 games out of 1st with a .387 WP, and still 9.5 games above the Astros. Even if we replaced our entire team with the Iowa roster, we'd have trouble catching them.
