8/18 Tigers (Sanchez) @ Cubs (Hammel) - 7:05 PM ABC7/MLBN

[Schwarber Fan]

Good night to have the lead thru 5. When the rains come, they may not stop.

[DiamondMind]

I feel like it's been a week since they played.

 

I know right?

[philosophizer75]

I can't wait for this game to start. I just have a good feeling about every one of the cubs future games now that I've joined them in the midwest for the foreseeable future. LET'S GET IT DONE COBS.

I have the feeling Cabrera is going to have a monster night vs. Hammel Career .429 BA

[Omar]

I'll take another 9-gamer, thanks.

You have to be trolling at this point right? Not only do batter vs pitcher matchups not mean anything even with perceived "large" sample sizes but this sample is literally 7 at bats...

[Guest]

also it's miguel cabrera so he has a pretty good chance of having a monster night regardless

[ctcf]

you guys mike trout might have a monster night tonight

Rizzo on the other hand is only hitting .222 against Sanchez so I am hoping Joe sits him down.

Why does it feel like sontensei all but vanished during the winning streak?

Hahahahah! Awesome.

Actually this is stupid and wrong. Mike Trout is 0 for 6 against John Danks and that's good enough for a .000 average. There is literally no chance Trout gets a hit tonight unless it's off a reliever.

CUBS are 4-0 with this starting lineup.

No not trolling, but I remember him having some big games over the years at Wrigley!

 

I think Cubs will have to put up about 5-6 runs to get the W tonight!

I been here, just posted later on / after games + I was actually at the entire series vs. the White Sox this past weekend.

Joined a semi-hardcore strength training club so been at the gym a lot at night.

5-3 Cubs F/6

[DiamondMind]

Is this bad?

Can confirm, as I'm currently driving in that orange part of the radar map, it's gonna be a wet one tonight

[mul21]

As bad as that looks, the predictor thing makes it look like it won't hit Wrigley until around 9;00, so they can likely get in a bunch of innings before it hits.

[philosophizer75]

It's a pretty nasty system. Tons of lightning. Cats and dogs.

 

-your friendly neighborhood storm chaser

[Schwarber Fan]

Hopefully once it passes through, it's done unlike that stupid storm in Pittsburgh the other week.

[philosophizer75]

Well, after 20-30 minutes of driving through a hellacious storm, it's mostly clear skies and a bit of sun. So I'm hoping that after the first delay the game will go on.

 

But have no doubt, there will be a delay.

[Banedon]

It's hitting us in Bloomington right now, but really not bad for us at all. Typical thunderstorm. On the other hand, there's been a few tornado warnings to the north, and at least one on the ground in the Pontiac area.
