Happy long weekend friends. We got the pleasure of some young dongs and some old dongs today and I expect more of the same tomorrow. I might as well start the Sunday game thread because I cannot and will not be stopped.

With Butters at the helm, we shall never lose again.

The only thing this game will decide is how many runs we will win by.

That picture of Lilly is more than a little unsettling.

I want to see a buddy cop film starring Lilly and Zobrist.

Lilly would have done well in prison if he had been sent there for whatever crimes it was he committed. Dude would've run the place after like a week.

Eickhoff seems like the kind of dick head that will shut us down

Butters, while you make sure that the Cubs win this game, could you also get this one in without rain delays please?

Eickoff is pretty run of the mill. He has shutout 2 teams for 7 innings each, but they happen to be the worst 2 offenses in the NL (Padres, Braves). In 6 of his 9 starts, he has given up at least 3 runs in 6 innings. He gets a lot of balls put in play against him, and has been a little lucky with BABIP against, especially for a guy who doesn't particularly get a lot of ground balls. He doesn't walk many, but he'll succumb to the dong at times. With the Cubs looking like they're heating up and hitting for more power, and with the wind blowing out, I'd expect a decent offensive showing. If Hendricks pitches like he has most of this year and most of his career at Wrigley, the Cubs should win this game.

I read that he has extreme splits too. Gets crushed be lefties and dominant against righties. Haven't looked up the stats to back that up though
