8/12 Brewers (Garza) @ Cubs (Hammel) - 7:05 PM CT WGN

[Smack]

Whenever I see Garza now I think of his comments about the Cubs rebuilding and him wanting to play for a winner. He goes to a team that almost immediately starts a rebuild and he's pitching so shitty he can't get traded to a contender. Just cracks me up.

[Guest]

He's going to kick our teeth in tonight.

Have we had the same lineup 5 games in a row (minus the pitcher) at any point this year?

Garza's second half ERA is 3 runs lower than in the first. Don't care. Destroy him. Edited August 12, 2015 by DiamondMind

Garza.

[Clem Fandango]

I liked Garza when he was on the Cubs, then I hated him after he left. Especially when he gave the public advice to Samardzija to "pitch your way out of Chicago"

 

Although that was good advice, because we got Russell and now we're awesome. Thanks, Matt.

His misogynistic rant on twitter rounded out his move to the 'hate' category nicely.

No, and that won't change anytime going forward I wouldn't think. Can't imagine Montero plays tomorrow.

[Schwarber Fan]

If the Cubs repeat their collective plate approach from last night, Garza won't get through 5.

Somehow I am unaware of this.

[Guest]

all he had to do was follow rule number one

[DiamondMind]

What a loser.

[Banedon]

Wow. Screw that guy.

[DiamondMind]

Maybe Soler will hit one of those exit velocity line drives at him

[Guest]

That "opposing starters are averaging 80 pitches and 4.1 innings the last eight games"graphic was pretty fun

[DiamondMind]

Looks like Hammel's sure ready to go

[DiamondMind]

Ryan Braun is a piece of [expletive]

[PrimeTime]

DONT PITCH TO BRAUN OR LIND

[Sammy Sofa]

I'll bet DiamondMind likes Braun, too.

[UMFan83]

Damn. Hammel looked really sharp those first 2 batters and then gives up a bomb to that douche

[DiamondMind]

I hate him so much. Easily #1.

[Schwarber Fan]

Hendricks > Hammel

CUBS are 30-31 (.492) when the opponent hits at least 1 HR.... 33-17 (.660) when they don't

CUBS are 54-28 (.659) when they don't allow any first inning runs.... 9-20 (.310) when they do

CUBS are 46-10 (.821) when they score first in the game.... 17-38 (.309) when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!
