5/26 Cubs (Garza) at Reds (Cueto) 12:10pm CSN

[Southpaw191679666239]

The Cubs try to avoid a week-long skid, and the sweep, by sending their newest pitcher to the rotation in 2013.

 

Garza (0-0, 0.00 ERA) goes up against Cueto (2-0, 3.22 ERA)

 

There's no Hawks game today, but maybe people would be better served enjoying the Holiday weekend some other way. ;)

 

Go.... Cubs?

[wekim81]

I'll watch, but only because I'm a massive glutton for punishment. I am a Cubs fan, after all.

 

Go Cubes?

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 10-8 (0.556) vs. Cincinnati on 26 May .....

Go CUBS !!

[haubrich91]

Garza!

[Little Slide Rooter]

Garza best come ready to pitch at least 7 innings and drive in 3 runs.

[Schwarber Fan]

Garza's gonna be at 100 pitches by the 4th... jesus

[Schwarber Fan]

running on 0-2... SERIOUSLY?

[Andy]

Garza looks great again (save throwing too many pitches), so at least that's going well.

[Irrelevant Dude]

Garza looks great again (save throwing too many pitches), so at least that's going well.

So much for that.

[Schwarber Fan]

this is so depressing... I guess this is what good baseball teams do. It's easy to forget.

[davell]

I'm not watching, but 90 pitches thru 4, with 4 walks and a HBP? I see the K's, but damn, did he just fall apart in the 4th?

[wekim81]

yep

[Little Slide Rooter]

Not so fun fact; over these past 3 games, Cubs starting pitchers have pitched 15 innings and given up 14 runs. All but 1 of those runs came in 3 innings.

[Guest]

Cueto's losing his [expletive] over DeJesus stepping out after every pitch.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Ump just issued a warning. Advantage, Cubs; who gives a [expletive] if one of our relievers get ejected.

[Schwarber Fan]

LOL @ putting Marmol in after benches were warned. Is Sveum just trolling now?

[Schwarber Fan]

keep the line moving, Darwin

[Epsteenie]

JACKPOT!

[Guest]

Finally we get the late comeback.

 

Finish it off, Cubs!

[Schwarber Fan]

Nice to see some fight in them

[Andy]

Not so fake rally!

[Schwarber Fan]

Nice ABs vs. LHP for Schierholtz and Valbuena... hopefully that ends the platoon garbage.

 

Also, see what patience can do for you, Cubs?

[Sammy Sofa]

Do you actually try to think up things to say like this?
