4/23 stupid cubs (villanueva) @ reds (cingrani) 6:10pm wgn

[treebird]

welcome to game thread i am treymon

 

cubs are bad they will lose the game

 

potential game highlights include rizzo maybe getting a hit again and also if you make nachos during the game

[Soul]

hahahah lol

 

 

i am sad

[Little Slide Rooter]

Villanueva will pitch a shut out and hit a home run. Dale Sveum will hint at filling the entire roster with pitchers. Media will take it seriously rather than the venting of a man on way over his head and at his wit's end.

[jersey cubs fan]

I was going to make some fajitas tonight, and I think nachos would be a lovely addition. Thanks for the tip.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

I find the idea of a Mexican food night to be intriguing.

[Tracer Bullet]

I smell a streak coming

[Guest]

[Smack]

[Andy]

Cubs roster has never faced Cingrani.This is his 5th MLB appearance.

If I know anything about the Cubs history of facing a guy for the first time it's to expect a minimum of 7 innings of shut out baseball.

The COMING season. The front page is smart enough to pretend like this monstrosity of a team ever got off the ground.

Cingrani is actually good. If he was bad I'd feel oddly less confident in the Cubs' offense.

[Elwood]

Cingrani is actually good.

 

Yep. I'm expecting a dominate outing from him.

Yeesh. I'm humiliated.

 

Thanks, though.

So it's gonna be that kind of night huh?

[Andy]

If we keep taking ABs like that, Cingrani will strike out 24.

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

If we keep taking ABs like that, Cingrani will strike out 27.

2006 Soriano is back!

[mul21]

Alright Carlos, that's all you're getting tonight. Make it work.

[Guest]

Sweet

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

Wow, where did that come from?
