Someone should mention Samardzija to Hawk Harrelson when he's talking about TWTW.

[bcl412]

Be nice to get a sweep. I'll take another series win though.

It's been 30 years today! Happy Anniversary Lee!

The Padres are really awful and would be last in almost everything if not for the Marlins.

 

I'm looking forward to another series where we prove that we may not be good, but we don't belong with this bunch. Anything less than 3/4 would be quite disappointing, especially at home with the rotation lined up well.

[neely crenshaw]

before we get carried away with the awfulness of the Padres...a few facts

 

Padres 9-15 Cubs 9-15

Padres runs scored 85, Cubs runs scored 80

Padres Runs Allowed 111 Cubs runs allowed 95

 

Worst team the Padres have played 10-13 Mets (who were above .500 until losing 4 straight)

Worst team the Cubs have played 6-19 Miami

 

Although starting pitching seems to strongly favor the Cubs, the Padres are not the Marlins. The Cubs are 6-14 against the major league teams and 3-1 against AAA Miami. This will be a much better test for the Cubs.

[Sammy Sofa]

Shaddup.

[neely crenshaw]

Could have mentioned they've won 4 straight including sweeping the Giants...

Maybe if this was some juggarnaut. Unfortunately in a 4 game series you can never view 2-2 as terribly disappointing. It's more or less what you should expect, especially when your team is, at best, not too bad.

[neely crenshaw]

Hey how about we win the opener and go from there. Gotta win 1 in row in order to win 4 in a row!

[Sammy Sofa]

Disagree.

[haubrich91]

So the guide on my TV says the Bulls start at 6 pm on CSN. Is the Cubs game going to be on CSN+ then or will the Bulls get moved to it?

[jersey cubs fan]

directv lists Cubs on channel 666 which is a csn+ station

 

 

and a wonderful omen
