6/3 - Cubs (Smyly) vs Padres (Darvish): 9:10pm, Marquee

[Brock Beauchamp]

It astounds me how the Padres are such a perpetual disappointment. But hey, I have no problems with the Cubs taking advantage of that and sneaking out another win.

[SouthSideRyan]

Mastrobuoni is leading off…

[Nolansomebody]

Really? Mastrobouni?

At least Mervis is in the lineup?

Best thing about MLB.TV is I can watch the TV feed and listen to the radio feed when Suttcliffe is in the booth.

The best part of the Cubs lineup all year has been the Hoerner-Swanson combo at the top of the order.  So let's mess with that and put a terrible hitter in the leadoff spot instead.

I wonder how much money the Cubs save on plane tickets by JD never traveling to the west coast.

An Edwin Rios sighting.

An Edwin Rios strikeout.

[Irrelevant Dude]

Whatever the Cubs thought they could get out of Rios, they aren't getting it.  Wouldn't Nelson Velazquez make a lot more sense right now?

[PackLandVA]

Rios had 7 ABs in May.

Let me repeat, Rios had 7 ABs in the entire month of May.

He K'd in 5 of those 7, and he's K'd in his only AB tonight.

He serves no purpose on the roster, let alone the starting lineup.

Against Yu Darvish in San Diego? Probably not 

I meant in general. Velazquez makes a lot more sense on the roster over a guy with no position who also can't hit.

[UMFan83]

Actually gonna have to score runs to win this.  Haven't done that much lately. 

[PackLandVA]

Rios with another K. That’s 15 strikeouts in 27 ABs this season.

Add another one. Might as well let the pitchers bat.

Sciambi could be a Seth Rogan doppelgänger.

8 runs in their last 5 games. It's almost like this is a terrible offense, which everyone but Jed seemed to know before the season started.

I thought we were gonna have a good offense this season. 

Boy, was I wrong.

[CubinNY]

Darvish never looked that good as a cub. 

[Derwood]

Darvish's 2-seamer was nasty
