6/13 Cubs (Hendricks) @ Dusty Baker's Nats (Scherzer) 6:05 PM CT CSN/ESPN/670

[UMFan83]

Got nothing today except: sweep these bums

[bcl412]

I am likely gonna be at this one so that is pretty sweet.

[Bote McBoteface]

Going through the teeth of their rotation, against the back end of ours, and you know theyve been looking forward to this series. Honestly, I'll be happy if we can get 1 win this series. With that said, lets sweep these bums.

Petition to change it to Rural Scherzer for consistency/mojo sake

[Cubswin11]

I hope Mojo remembers to wear his rally jorts if he goes to any of the games in this series

That's loser talk

[davell]

This won't be a 3-0 sweep. It'll be 4-0. We shall beat so much horsefeathers out of them, MLB will give us an extra win for the hell of it.

I know these stats aren't end all be all but we've got ERA edge all 3 games and FIP edge in 2/3

what kind of coward talk is this

 

"the back end of our rotation" oh you mean all those guys with ERA's under 3 and who baffle and confound opposing hitters?

[CubInOK]

We'll score 8 runs in every game. It's up to the Nats to keep up.

Our boys know they only have limited chances to put on a show in person to woo Harper in 2 years

[badger]

I wonder how many times well walk him this series with homophobic trash behind him?

[Omar]

I really hope we see these guys in the NLCS

 

Because I know Dusty will find some way to horsefeathers it up

Meh, I still think we can sweep, I just don't expect it like I did against the Phils and Braves.

Scherzer against RH in 2016: .149/.167/.297/.464

Scherzer against LH in 2016: .276/.372/.526/.898

 

Cubs batting righty against Scherzer in May: 1-10 with 0 BB (John Lackey was the lone hit)

Cubs batting lefty against Scherzer in May: 6-13 with 3 BB and 6 XBH

 

guessing lineup is something like Fowler, Heyward, Bryant, Rizzo, Zobrist, Coghlan, Russell (he hits much better against righties than Javy), Miggy

[Omar]

Scherzer has two different colored eyes

and you guys thought Zobrist was a creepy weirdo

Yeah those aren't even close. While some people can get away with it (see Eve, Alice), he comes off like the guy giving out the permits in Wayne's World 2.
