despite all the hand wringing, win today and they have a 5-2 stretch

[mk49]

Assad "should" pitch better than Cabrera.  

[mul21]

They're clearly screwed.  Nobody has scored on this pitcher all year.

Lets go Cubbies!

Always an easy W when facing a brand-new pitcher.

In a just and fair world, this would have been a day game

Rain has cleared out. Based on reports from last night I thought there was only about a 20% chance of getting this game in

Im going to the game on father's day.  Not looking good. Hopefully they are wrong

According to my weather app it looks like a 10% chance of rain at game time and only going to 15% chance during the entire game.

Classic strategy: start a guy who nobody knows.  Even if he sucks it’s gonna take a couple ABs to figure it out.

[bryzz0brist]

We're paying Breggers for a hopefully above average bat (for a while) , hopefully above average defense (for a while), and some real fancy leadership qualities.

wish i could tone my leadership qualities and get a big money contract with the cubbies.  Actually, as a cubs fan, put me on another team so i don't screw us up with all that expensive leadership. 

Scratch Breggie's leadership and look at projections for his future time with the cubs, and we might as well have just extended happer for less money

i'm trying to figure out brock's profile pic.  Looks like a moto helmet and armored jacket, but in a boat in the ocean on a calm day.

Surprised the booth didn't devolve to Sutcliffe and Girardi

I am one of the rare posters who likes Cohen but Cliff Floyd is very hard to listen to. Rather have Pat Hughes and Ron Coomer pull double duty.

Let’s get a horsefeathers W today, huh?

There was an old poster here who would post game threads without fail.  He was of a different generation,  and would use the word horsefeathers in lieu of cursing.   After he passed away,  we began using that word in his memory,  so to speak. 

[JHBulls]

Feels like a turning point in our year.

1 for 1 with RISP!
