7/24 Phillies (Williams) @ Cubs (Lester) 3:05 CT WGN

[ctcf]

I'll fancy this up later.

 

Glad to be here to at least kickoff the series against the worst team in baseball and a former hometown of mine.

 

Also holy [expletive] it's Jerome Frigging Williams hahahahaha

 

yay cubs

[expletive] jerome williams

[Brian]

kind of crazy that 10 years later Latroy Hawkins, Jerome Williams and David Aardsma are all on major league rosters.

Jerome [expletive] Williams

[treebird]

when the cubs traded for jerome williams, i though they'd picked up a mid-rotation innings eater for years to come. instead he was [expletive] garbage.

 

that was over ten years ago.

[DiamondMind]

[expletive] the Phillies, rape and pillage

[Little Slide Rooter]

Did anyone else know that Willams was a top 50 prospect 3 years in a row, top 20 for 2 of them? Because I did not.

[Little Slide Rooter]

I would very much like it if we would win this game. The next 2, It's Arrieta/Hamels (possibly his last as a Philly) and Hammel/Aaron Nola (Phillies 2014 1st rounder,)each of which could easily be 1-0 in either team's favor.

when the cubs traded for signed jerome williams Edwin Jackson, i though they'd picked up a mid-rotation innings eater for years to come. instead he was [expletive] garbage.

 

 

All African American starting pitchers are the same.

Yes. He was a top 40 draft pick.

Wasn't Williams the guy whose parents were killed while following the team bus?

And Aardsma is basically Hawkins with more year of control!

It's Lester Day, so it'll have to be a PH Schwdong. Unless Maddon is ballsy enough to put him in left. I guess if you're going to try it, might as well try it against Philly.

[Andy]

We shouldn't need Schwarber to score on Jerome Williams. If we could do it against Cingrani, we can do it against him.

[sontensei]

you dont need to watch the game for that.... www.roscoes.com
