8-0?!?! Do you think there's a chance we're gonna lose?

[cubscott34]

Are you saying my prediction is a little low? How about 13-(-4)? Better?

8-0?!?! Do you think there's a chance we're gonna lose?

 

There's just 2 chances that the CUBS lose this game. Slim and none.

[philosophizer75]

Yeah if montero was in there I don't know if we have a better lineup to field period.

[BigSlick]

Yeah if montero was in there I don't know if we have a better lineup to field period.

I'd rather have Coghlan in the outfield and Baez at 2nd, but it's not a big deal

Ray's a lefty

[Guest]

Someone thought Goldschmidt was on maternity leave for the whole weekend. It was just yesterday.
