7/18 Cubs (Williams) @ Reds (Claussen) 6:10 pm, CSN

[CubmanPi]

I wish we could play Pittsburgh forever. Oh well. Jerome Williams (1-3, 3.91 ERA) goes in Cincy against Brandon Claussen (4-6, 3.61 ERA). As long as the reds don't have any rookie/soft-throwing lefties in their rotation, this should be a good series.

Edited July 18, 2005 by Fred Hornkohl

[rickrolled]

We need to take at least 3 of 4 in this series. GO CUBS!!!

[MeatampPotatoesMan]

too much positivity. :wink:

 

 

 

win again, idiots. stay above .500 this time, losers.

[otis89]

I don't care. We still suck.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

We still suck, but a win would be nice.

[Roast]

Sigh. If you loserc sould learn to kick ass like farnsworth then maybe we would get somewhere.

[B]

beware Griffey Jr.

[Derwood]

Derwood's stat of the day:

 

In 2005, the Cubs are 46-45 in games played prior to July 18th. (they are 0-0 from July 18th on so far).

 

That is all.

[NCCubFan]

Coincidentally they're also 46-45 in games managed by Dusty Baker and 0-0 in games managed by anybody else. :D

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Cubs, please no suckage today.

[SantoForHOF]

cinci's won 7 of 10

[jyoung55]

What are the chances of this one actually being played with the current weather heading to Cincy?

[E.J.]

What are the chances of this one actually being played with the current weather heading to Cincy?

 

Weather.com is saying there's only a 30% chance of rain this evening in Cincy. If true they should be able to get the game in.

[erik316wttn]

What are the chances of this one actually being played with the current weather heading to Cincy?

 

Weather.com is saying there's only a 30% chance of rain this evening in Cincy. If true they should be able to get the game in.

 

And Erik is saying there's only a 5% chance of a Cubs victory today.

 

Losers. All of them.

[badger1679666666]

What's with all this positivity? We win one series against the freaking Bucs, and everyone thinks we're good again?

 

Well, we're not. We define the word suckage. Beat another crappy team you bunch of low life morons. Maybe then, I'll start giving you some respect.

[LoneStarCubFan]

The Cubs are unbeaten in games they lead after nine innings.

[Derwood]

Cubs are also 46-45 in games when they SUCKED!

[Fro]

Just an isolated chance of storms here (30%) at work about 40 minutes west of Cincy.

 

They'll get the games in.

[Flames24Rulz]

just win baby.

I can tolerate Neifi with a bat if he's batting right-handed. I like the potential of Murton, but he's got to at least start hitting some balls hard.

[MeatampPotatoesMan]

what a team of losers.
