08/23 CUBS (Jackson) @ San Diego (Volquez) 9:10 CDT, CSN

[Sammys Boombox]

I don't believe I have ever started a game thread before, but I'm going to tonight's game and it looks like Fred is the only one starting these lately, so I don't think he will mind.

 

In Fred fashion:

 

Cubs are 21-20 overall when I am in attendance

Padres are 0-2 overall when I am in attendance

Cubs are 1-0 against the Padres when I am in attendance

Cubs are 12-8 on the road when I am in attendance

Cubs are 0-0 in San Diego when I am in attendance

Cubs are 4-2 in NL West parks when I am in attendance

 

Please win.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Except for the fact that he already started one...

Go CUBS !!

[InconspicuousZ28]

4-0 Cobs, 1st inning, no outs.

[Illini Iceman]

Hang it and bang it.

[InconspicuousZ28]

6-0 now, STILL no outs!

[Little Slide Rooter]

Had somebody told me back in March that the Cubs best players would be Nate Schierholtz, Dioner Navarro, and Donnie Murphy would be the Cubs best players, I'd have said we probably won't be very good.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

So we make it through every position player in the lineup without making an out, and Castro is still 0-1.

[sneakypower]

fun start.

[Guancous]

Remarkable. Imagine when these early leads become a regular occurrence.

[SpongeWorthy]

Lol of course Castro goes 0-2 in an inning we bat around

[Illini Iceman]

Jeez they are telling the billy goat curse story on the Padres broadcast. I guess any inning now they will work their way to an in depth Bartman conversation.

[sneakypower]

whoa Castro FIRED that relay throw in there

[Illini Iceman]

Now Gwynn rubbing some salt in the 1984 wound.

[UMFan83]

Starlin Castro is now fun bad.

 

Or maybe he has been for awhile, I don't watch enough.

[sneakypower]

sweet catch by Lake

Damn, Jackson struggling to hold a 6 run lead against the Padres is pretty disheartening.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

I now peripherals and all, but maybe it's a good thing Epstein doesn't have more money to work with.

i like how you lead off the sentence by basically acknowledging that the rest of the post is going to be stupid.

[Careless]

I suppose it's a good thing Jackson's giving homers up at 2/3 his usual pace. I mean, I know it is, but he'd be really wretched if he was his usual self there

It's the game thread. Stupidity is traditional and conventional.

edwin jackson xFIP going into this game:

 

2010: 3.71

2011: 3.73

2012: 3.79

2013: 3.79

 

hopefully he's just getting his bad luck out of his system in a lost year and will be back to solid mid-rotation starter next season.
