5/17 CUBS (Hendricks) @ Brewers (Anderson) 7:10 CT, CSN

[Schwarber Fan]

The Cubs begin a 10 game road trip in Milwaukee against a guy with an ERA north of 6. It's very appropriate that my first GDT of the season takes place in a park with a roof, preventing me from predicting a rainout.

 

As always, off days sucks.

 

Go Cubs!

[Cubswin11]

This is kinda a weird road trip, Milwaukee to San Francisco then to St. Louis. Either way, I'll be in attendance Wednesday night for this game. Let's sweep.

It's a conspiracy !!!

The only question is will my daughter be born into this world and have her first game be started by Hendricks or Lackey??

The only question is will my daughter be born into this world and have her first game be started by Hendricks or Lackey??

 

Time to start pullin for tomorrow, then. (Also, congrats!)

 

Thanks! Still hoping it'll happen on it's own today or tomorrow but I'm thinking it'll be Wednesday when they induce her. So she'll be stuck with Lackey, but being born into first place isn't too bad!

[Omar]

Force a C-section on an Arrieta

Even if that happens, I would just say "it's all part of the plan"?

 

(congrats, too! Henry was born last year after the 6/18 game so the 6/19 Hendricks start was his first(Cubs lost). but they were 8 games back at the time and we know how the rest of the year went...)

[Andy]

It will be excellent to play a baseball game in non-dong-suppressing conditions (I assume the roof will be closed).

[BigSlick]

Hahah i can't believe how bad the Brewers numbers against Hendricks are, a .314 OPS in like 70 at bats.

 

I expect he'll continue to baffle them (because they're bad, and he's good)

 

EDIT: Huh, looking at their stats they're actually a pretty good hitting team. Their pitching is a huge dumpster fire. Anyway, they should give us Jonathon Lucroy and should go back to the hole from whence they emerged.

My nephew was born Saturday during Arrieta's start. I'm sure this means awesome things

[Omar]

Steve Wilson started on my birthday. What does that mean?

[ctcf]

I was apparently born on a day where Maddux won and Lee Smith got the save. I'll assume this means awesome things.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

I was born during the winter.

[Omar]

Maybe the Bears did something special your week

[Ding Dong Johnson]

a) don't care

2) late February

[David]

Maybe the Bears did something special your week

 

 

yeah maybe dick butkus made someone go home in pain despite winning or something.

[Omar]

Maybe the Bulls did something special your week/day

[Ding Dong Johnson]

see a) above

[UMFan83]

No Chicago sports teams played on my birthday, but the Bulls lost the day before and after my birthday and the Hawks lost the day after as well. Yay?

[Andy]

I was born 3 days after the Bill Buckner error in the World Series. Closest I've got to anything interesting.

i dont think anyone is drawing meaning to the sports events that happened on their birthday. It's just off day conversation.

[raw]

The day I was born, some dude named Steve Renko started and the Cubs lost 6-4 to the Big Red Machine, to move 14 1/2 games back in mid June.
