Goonie seems to be missing in action. Win lose or draw, he's up to bat Monday.

Cubs are the only NL team to not lose consecutive games this year.

 

The Red Sox and Tigers have also not lost two straight.

[Derwood]

It would be nice to steal one today with our worst pitcher on the mound

[rocket]

[jersey cubs fan]

Needs more meat

[rawaction]

Game is also on MLB Network today.

Pretty bummed I'm gonna miss this one. Should be pretty fun.

[Guest]

I really need a win today so that I can win my food bet with all of these Padres losers surrounding me. How's the weather looking in Chicago today?

[Guest]

Looks like they'll have a few hours to try to get this one in before the rain comes, heaviest rain isn't supposed to be til dinnertime.

[Guest]

Nah, Ross isn't a personal catcher. Ross is just an every 5th day receiver and coincidentally is on the same exact schedule with Lester.

 

Nice patience at the plate yesterday, Ross!

If its the storm system that's pushing up from the south, it might get washed out pretty quickly. The rain is really heavy down in Bloomington, IN right now and has been going for over an hour. Accuweather now has it hitting Chicago at about 2pm.

[treebird]

thanks for the dingers miguel, now back to the bench so the guy who can't throw and hits .230 in batting practice can start

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Alcantara is full-on doghoused. Russell any day now?

[Guest]

This would be a good day to score early and work fast on the mound.

Can't wait to see Bryant's first HR washed out :(

CUBS are 3-0 (1.000) when they score in the first inning.... 3-4 (.429) when they don't

CUBS are 5-1 (.833) when they score first in the game.... 1-3 (.250) when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Schwarber Fan]

They'd probably just suspend the game. Looks like they may be able to get through 5.5.

aren't you the guy who is 100% sure every game is going to get rained out?

[Schwarber Fan]

Yep, hope they play today, because tomorrow in Pittsburgh isn't looking good!

[treebird]

if alcantara is going to be a black hole and never play, we should probably let him go to iowa and play every day while some nobody comes up to be a black hole and never play.

 

unless we're going to say screw it and bring russell up in the next week.

Worth noting that, assuming they get the game in, Justin Upton is out of the lineup for the Padres today.

 

So shut the [expletive] up, rain.

How does tomorrow look in Cincinnati ?
