4/30 Padres (Volquez) vs Cubs (Jackson) 7:05pm WCIU

[Southpaw191679666239]

The Cubs racked up another home win and try to keep it going against the Pads in Game 2 of the series.

 

The San Diego Padres will trot out Edinson Volquez sporting a record of 1-3 with an ERA of 6.39, while the Chicago Cubs will roll with Edwin Jackson who is winless at 0-3 and an ERA of 4.76.

 

Can the Cubs get a repeat performance from Cody "Boomstick" Ransom?

 

 

Go ... Cubs?

Can the Cubs get a repeat performance from Cody "Boomstick" Ransom?

Probably not since Valbuena will start vs the righty.

He could pinch-hit and use the boomstick. ;)

[Sammy Sofa]

Wow, [the Cubs have won 4 of their last 5 games]. I feel so full of...what's the opposite of shame?

 

Pride?

 

No, not THAT far from shame...

 

Less shame?

 

Yeah...

Nice call on that first pitch to Alonso.

Here's Jackson's "Volstad inning"

[coldsteel]

Wait Alfonso Soriano has two RBI this season? With 25 hits and a homer? Remarkable!

[Schwarber Fan]

Edinson Volquez is really, really bad. Don't let him shut you down, Cubs.

[Schwarber Fan]

Nice camera work by the U!

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Edwin Jackson can start having his ERA move toward his peripherals any day now. It'd be cool with me.

[Schwarber Fan]

Just one of those ballgames...

[haubrich91]

Gah.

[Schwarber Fan]

Well, this game officially sucks.

[haubrich91]

I bet the casual Cub fan hates Edwin Jackson already.

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

Aaaaand I'm going to go listen to music.

[Schwarber Fan]

Hurry back, Baker/Garza

[haubrich91]

Ooof.
