I'm going to hold seanimal's spot for 1 more day. If he doesn't come through for Saturday's game, then we'll have TruffleShuffle step and start his turn.

In memory.....

 

Kris Bryant is OPSing 1.362 this year against the Dodgers.

This is gonna be a goooooood blood bath. Cubs gonna expel the demon stench of sontensei and brutalize them.

[Sammys Boombox]

Hammel is going to earn everybody free Domino's. Cubs go back-to-back-to-back in the first. Rizzo will be involved in the dongfest.

His OPS against the Dodgers will be above 1.700 after these 3 games.

I kinda hope not, I'll settle for a win. I already consumed a dominos pizza from the Fiers no-no. I don't think I could handle another one so soon.

[Cubswin11]

Bryant is gonna hit for the cycle in one of the games this weekend

Looks like you guys already have things covered from the optimism side.

I don't know why I always feel like we have had success against Kershaw and yet the numbers are dominant. It's probably because I expect nothing when we face Kershaw so when we score 2-3 runs or win a game against their pen, I feel like we beat him up.

I feel like if you gave it time to perculate, it might have turned out ok, but it was bad at it's current point.

Dexter!

 

But no Cogs or Schwarber makes me v sad.

[PrimeTime]

Sczur most likely in there since he was 2-4 with a HR last time against Kershaw

I really hope Maddon didn't switch his brain with sontensei.

[UMFan83]

I wish we could put out better lineups against lefties.

Are you kidding? Maddon having that kind of meltdown would be incredibly entertaining.

[BrockLanders]

I think I'm going to watch the Dodgers feed tonight.
