7/26 Giants (Lowry) vs Cubs (Maddux) 7:05 PM WGN

[sethuel1]

So with us facing two lefties in a row, shouldn't that mean two consecutive starts for Murton?

Macias will probably get at least one start in LF.

 

Macias hasn't started a game in left field yet this year. Why do you think he will now ?

 

Because, people from Chicago always think the sports cup is half empty.

 

Some people see the glass as half full

Others see it as half empty

Cubs fans worry about when the glass will tip over.

 

Weather permitting, we will have history made tonight at the Friendly Confines and we're talking about Macias.

 

Weather Bug says there is a 40% chance of showers between 7pm and 9pm CST. After 9pm the chance of showers drops to 30%. More than likely, this game will not be interrupted due to inclimate weather.

 

WeatherBug is crappy adware.

Right now it's raining hard. Just heard on the Score, the game may be delayed until 8- 8:30 pm or they may scrap it all together and have a Double Header tomorrow.

In a line-up where Ramirez is batting clean-up, its a rain delay. Cubs luck..

That's become the typical lineup against lefties.

[SanJoseCubsFan]

A-Ram almost always bats clean up against a lefty and 5th against a lefty

[SanJoseCubsFan]

sorry 5th against a righty not lefty

[Mizzou]

Ramirez HAS to bat behind Lee everyday. With teams finally starting to pitch around Lee, who do you want coming up with (at least) one runner on... Burny or Aramis? It's a no brainer.

you'd think so, wouldnt you? but dusty feels otherwise. :roll:

[Outshined_One]

It's freakin' windy here right now. Even if the game is played tonight, it will be one heck of an adventure.

Yes but Dusty is OBSESSED with having the lineup RLRLRLR against Righty's. I bitched about this last week, no one seemed to agree, or they just didn't respond. But it irritates the hell out of me.

 

Dusty has his obsessions, and they have to be ripped out of his hands for him not to use them, be it players, or strategies.

Gameday is incorrect. I heard it on the radio; they were live from Dusty's pregame media talk.

Earlier the lineup was announced on the radio and Ramirez was 4th....

[Flames24Rulz]

i guess there going to wait it out until 8:30-9. If there's no sign of the rain letting up, they'll call it and play 2 tomorrow.

[Derwood]

Wow, that weather map looks ugly. When are they going to invent a force-field dome that can instantly surround a ballpark, protecting it from rain while invisible to the eye? I want my science fiction darnit!

This way I can catch the radio feed of Nomar in single A while waiting for the start...

They dont know Dusty's lineup for lefties. :wink: Let's just hope this rain moves on in the next hour or two...

[lowest]

if it does just get postponed, will WGN still show the whole game?

[Omar]

This one's not gonna be played. that's my bet at least. Look at the weather.com map:

Maybe? I dont think they will due to legal purposes. This happened last year on FSN I think.

What?
