4/12 Cubs (Villanueva) vs. Giants (Cain) 1:20 CT CSN

[Schwarber Fan]

Cain does have an ERA over 8 so far, but it would have been a lot nicer facing him after off a win.

 

Hopefully Villanueva is solid again and at least we're one day closer to Brent Lillibridge's time as a starter coming to an end.

 

Go Cubs.

to the end of his time as a starter!

 

for a second I thought you had heard he was about to be named full time starter..almost ruined my morning. :D

[Schwarber Fan]

Oh crap! Fixed

[Schwarber Fan]

Steve Clevenger starting at third today.

[Andy]

Ugh, we have Brennaman and McCarver for tomorrow's game. Might use Gameday Audio and accept the delay that may come with it.

And we'll still have a weak offense vs. one of baseball's best pitchers. Feels like a good day to let the game play out and check the box score at around 4ish.

Could save on the frustration level but I get to watch it at work so good or bad it's on. Anyway sometimes this scenario when it doesn't make sense to do anything, they play great.(at least I'm telling myself that)

Video will be blacked out for the FOX game, though.

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

Brennaman and McCarver? That's worse than water torture.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Looked safe to me, but it was a "ball beat you by a mile" call. Amazing throw. I don't know why teams keep running on the Cubs.

That was a big league throw...

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

They need to re-do that Heineken/handle-bar mustache commercial with Villanueva.

[Guest]

DeJesus!

[Schwarber Fan]

wow... how about the carry on that one?

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Wow, that carried.

[Banedon]

Rizzo sure is whiffing a lot.

[bukie]

Rizzo sure is whiffing a lot.

Caught looking a lot.

jesus christ, i know the weather's not great or anything but wrigley looks like marlin's stadium today

[Andy]

Rizzo sure is whiffing a lot.

Caught looking a lot.

He's struck out swinging on garbage pitches now 2 days in a row. I'm sure it's nothing to be overly concerned with, but I hate to see him chase bad ones.

[Andy]

Man, Nate Schierholtz is raking.

[Schwarber Fan]

Unproductive outs... silent killers
