8-3: Cubs (Williams) @ Phillies (Tejeda) 6:05 CT, CSN+, 720

[Dr. Cub]

The Astros will never lose another game, EVER!! Until the end of time. Since I've been Costanza lately I figure everything I say; the opposite will happen.

Noteworthy Match-ups (Chicago Cubs) Vs. Robinson Tejeda (Righty, 2-2 with 2.95 ERA)

No current Cub has ever faced Tejeda in the regular/post season.

 

Noteworthy Match-ups (Philadelphia Phillies) Vs. Jerome Williams (Righty, 3-4 with 4.61 ERA)

Prediction Based on Match-ups: No decision.

 

PBOM Record: 6-3

If the Cubs could somehow pull out a victory tonight they should gain a game on the Astros tonight. Vazquez vs. Ezequiel Astacio, huge pitching mismatch in the Diamondbacks favor, in fact, I believe there's an excellent chance Vazquez shuts out the Astros.

 

Never doubt the Astros. Last week it was Pedro Martinez vs. Ezequiel Astacio. Pedro pitched like his usual self, but Astacio mowed down the Mets. The Astros won that game. :roll:

 

 

At some point the better pitcher is going to win out, why not tonight?

 

I'm not doubting you. I'm just pointing out that the team with the "better" pitcher doesn't always win.

 

Anyone else just have 2003 NLCS flashback?

 

There was no NLCS in 2003. None. Never happened. Wasn't a World Series that year either.

STOP BATTING BURNITZ BEHIND LEE AND NEIFI IN THE 7TH SPOT FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS HOLY!!!!!!

 

Just...argh.

[E.J.]

No problems with the lineup. I've given up trying to understand why Dusty does certain things. Go Cubs!!!!

Yes, the Astros won against the Mets 'pen.

I hate life when I see idiotic lineups like this.

 

I think Dusty is so dumb, that Lee would have to be IBB 50 times before Dusty's pea-sized brain would pick up on it.

[Blueheart05]

FYI: Ron has an upcoming interview with Lawton on WGN radio if anyone cares to listen.

[OldHappyCubFan]

I hate Dusty Baker so much, its ridiculous. The man simply is a total idiot.

[Flames24Rulz]

Nomar is back in 2 days guys...the Neifi experiment is nearly done!

[Balsa]

Yeah, no reason to like back-to back winning seasons for the 1st time in 35 years! [-X

[OldHappyCubFan]

The Scoop Jackson article ticked me off, I shoulden't of read it.

[mhuber92211]

I just saw on ESPN's bottom line that Williams has a .345 BAA lefties this year. Ouch.

The point I was trying to make was that the Mets should have lit Astacio up. I'm talking 5-7 runs off him.

Yeah, since we all know Dusty single handedly propelled the Cubs to those winning seasons. :roll:

He's behind the plate two straight games? That never happens.
