yeah, i mean why isn't he starting this weekend? So Lackey's ugly face gets another start. why would we want that?

Broves lineup

Did you see Hammel's last start? I did, and we should have expected it because the start before that he....went 6 strong innings.

Time to add my very thought out analysis to this game thread. The other team just WANTS IT MORE

from the words of Donald Trump: The system is rigged.

the opposing manager would have to be braindead not to run on Montero every single/walk/IBB/HBP. I'm surprised the attempt count is so low.

I'm sure Castro has a fairly high Neifi Index* for the Cubs this year

thanks for 2015 Montero now go retire with Ross

Montero Fan would be better. Nah don't waste his strange magic on a broken down old catcher. Heyward Fan will work just fine. alright make a poll. highest votes is what we go with.

http://espn.go.com/mlb/stats/fielding/_/position/c/sort/catcherCaughtStealingPct/count/41/qualified/false/order/true No he is the worst. Tyler Flowers a close second.

Because he's sucked for several appearances now. So has your thought process before posting. Mods, please change his name to Rondo Fan PLEASE. Just do it. All you have to do is take off the the 'n"

I'm 100% fine with Castro's and his glorious -0.2 fWAR not on this team.

Remember the Estes game? #neverforget

remember when Glendon Rusch threw a CGSO? That was the day

Latroy Hawkins? EDIT: Nope, didn't get him till 2004...damn. latroy hawkins started a game? the Meat Tray a winner is you

Hawkins hasn't started a game this millennium

somebody name that pitcher without looking it up

Both teams will be wearing 1916 uniforms In honor of the Cubs' first game at Wrigley Field vs. Reds on 4/20/1916

Addison Russell's middle name is Warren as is Josh Vitters
