[Sammy Sofa]

I'm much more offended by Latos' tiny mug.

Cubs now have the same record as the White Sox. Funny stuff.

only 3 games back of the Reds

[Guest]

The starters in the subject of this game thread should be Soler and Not Soler.

[Guest]

you should ask a mod to change it

[TruffleShuffle]

Mat Latos is a douche bag

[Clem Fandango]

Yes he is. I brought it up last time we faced him, but just to reiterate the hate people should have for him, Kris Bryant hit home run off of him in his first rehab outing of the season during his first AB. IIRC he hit the first pitch thrown for a home run. Latos thought that was bush league of him and plunked him in his next AB because how dare this guy play a [expletive] baseball game against him, amirite?

I hope Soler takes him deep on the first pitch he sees tonight.

I hope he homers and then just stares at Latos.

stop trying to make Chris Valaika happen

[UMFan83]

Dammit why are you doing this to me?

 

Any word on the prognosis on his back injury?

[Irrelevant Dude]

No Rizzo?!? I want a glimpse at the future, dammit.

He was pulled late last night after tweaking his back. It didn't look like anything serious.

wasn't considered anything serious. pulling him was precautionary.

[Guest]

i'm even more annoyed that soler isn't higher given the fact that rizzo isn't playing

They said it was nothing serious last night, I believe. No reason to push it.

Thanks for the heads up.

[ScrubMD]

Damnit, this is my first game since Rizzo came up. Soler better be as majestic as I imagine him.

[expletive] Mat Latos.

 

He must be salivating at the chance to go play in St. Louis, where the game is played the right way and you don't swing at the first pitch.

[Guest]

i'm kinda excited to see turner too

i'm kinda excited to see turner too

 

yeah, on paper this is about as good as a rizzo-less game is going to look this season
