I scored tickets for all 3 games. But, still no extras. Just got off the phone with Vance. He has one of those funny southern accents. :lol:
-
Just got off the phone with Vance and we will probably meet up before the game. I'll be wearing the "LOU" Cubs sweatshirt tonight in a sea of Padres season ticket holders behind the Padres dugout. Based on past games where I sat there, I believe I can be occasionally seen when lefty hitters are at the plate. The wife will be the really hot blonde sitting next to me. :grin: -
Looks like I might be going to all three games, afterall. If I make it to tonight's game, I'll be in heaven. Super excellent seats. Once the wife confirms we can go, I'll fill you in so can all look for us when left handed hitters are at the plate. Vance will be at tonight's game, so we will have to meet up with him at some point. She better give the okay. Carlos on the mound, 5th to 7th row seats right behind the Padres dugout. This is the Cubs year! Best part is I'll probably only have to pay for my ticket for tomorrow's game where I'm replacing someone who can't go. The other one's are free. And since I just paid $4.23 a gallon for gas today, I like it.

Buddiga (3-6) at Dishman's Dishmans (3-6) Draconian Empire (4-5) at Alamo Stealth (5-4) Lynx (5-4) at NC Cubs (5-4) The Eyes of Texas (6-3) at Voo Doo Bayou Bashers (3-6) Quakers (5-4) at Galesburg Hand Sanitizers (3-6) Fuzzy Logistics (6-3) at Raw Dawgs (7-2) Severe Tooterstorms (3-6) at Harrys Budcrew (4-5) Northside Baseball (5-4) at Tootielicious (5-4) Match Up Of The Week: Fuzzy Logistics vs. Raw Dawgs One team alone in first place against a team tied for 1st place in the other division. This one could come down to Rich Harden and Pedro Martinez on Sunday. I really wish I had Matt Holliday back for this match up, but Mike Cameron will be playing in Matt's ballpark later this week. Raws two big scoring days look to be Monday and Wednesday, while Fuzzy looks to set a single day scoring record on Friday with starts by Brandon Webb, Javier Vasquez and Johnny Cueto. It should be fun, and I'm going to completely miss how it all ends, as I will be working all weekend. Noteables are Matt Kemp for Raw and Geovany Soto and Carlos Marmol for Fuzzy playing in the 5pm Sunday night game. Sorry, that's a 7pm game for you midwestern folks.
-
Wow. An extremely rare night game (for me anyway). I love real 7pm starts. :clapping: I've only got tickets for the Wednesday night game. Lilly shall redeem himself this night.
-
I'll be at the Wednesday game, but I don't any tickets to spare.
-
Yeah, I don't expect Pedro to go deep into games, either. But, you have to start a guy that's facing teams like San Fran and the Padres in their home parks. As much as I like Laffey, I just can't find a start for him this week.
-
Anybody going to the Cubs/Pads series? The wife and I have tickets for the Wednesday night game. This is a horrible week for the Cubs to be in town. This is one of my busiest times of the year and it seems like they are here around this time every year where I can only go to 1 game. At least I'll get to see Lilly redeem himself. The key to beating the Padres is to pitch around Adrian Gonzalez.
-
Should be a good match up. I wish Holliday wasn't on the DL right now, but I do like my pitching this week.
-
Ah. Apparently I missed that.
-
I've never heard that before. Is that new?
-
Just checking and maybe I missed their demotions, but JR Towles, Armando Gallaraga and Michael Bourn are all in the minors, have scored points for their fantasy major league team and are all active.
-
The Cubs had a reliever named Jose Cueto in the minor leagues a few years back, but I don't think he ever made it to the bigs. I could be wrong since I haven't bothered to look it up.
-
Did I somehow miss a rule that allows you to put active players in the minors? The way I have understood the rules, once you promote someone, you can't send them back down unless they are officially sent down.
-
I had to do it I don't think I'll ever understand the complete and utter vitriol this board has for that guy He's horrible in the booth. Granted, there are many others who are arguably just as bad in the booth, but the whole Ryne Sandberg thing jets Morgan past everyone for the absolute worst. Did you miss the whole Ryne Sandberg thing? If so, then I could marginally understand how you can ask that question. But, if you are even remotely aware of Morgan not voting for Sandberg for the HOF, that might be the most foolish question this board has ever seen.

130 PC Night Moves Big Z to 2nd in PAP
BigbadB replied to vance_the_cubs_fan's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
To move from 39th to 2nd in one outing tells me that most of the pitchers in that group are not really all that overworked, since Carlos hasn't really been "overworked". It seems as though most managers have caught on to lightening starter's workloads. Although, I have noticed that Dusty is starting to let Volquez and Cueto get their pitch counts up there a bit more the last few weeks. All it will take for Dusty to blow those guy's arms up is a few bullpen collapses. -
If Carlos is heavy at anything, it's strike outs. And yes, it is sustainable for a guy who has heavy strike out tendencies. ;)
-
What a tough game to miss. But, I was golfing for free, and that's always a good thing. I rushed here after seeing the highlights on ESPN with no sound. Most of the highlights featured some guy I couldn't recognize singing "Take Me Out To The Ballgame", and I figured it must have been a really bad version. But, what scared me was seeing Soto with only 2 at bats in the box score. I'm relieved to know these guys were just pulled for rest. I'm still a bit buzzed, but I'm celebrating a huge comeback!
-
I've got SP if you are willing to part with a 3b. Make me an offer.
-
Who honestly believes Bradley can still play CF? I don't. He's about as brittle as any player who stepped onto a major league playing surface. He has been spending equal time at DH and LF because they don't trust his surgically repaired knee. I like what Bradley brings to the plate. But, if the Cubs were to pick him up, Fukudome or Soriano will have to shift to CF. That's a fact.
-
We basically traded Jacque Jones for him. Jacque Jones to Detroit for Omar Infante Omar Infante was then spun to Atlanta for Ascanio.

5/29 Rockies (Francis) @ Cubs (Marquis) 7:05 pm CSN
BigbadB replied to erik316wttn's topic in Fred Hornkohl Game Thread Forum
The rumor I heard was that Glendon Rusch was starting for Colorado on Saturday. -
This just seems like a showcase move, IMO. The bullpen is where the Cubs may be able to afford to make a trade or two to boost the starting staff or CF. Besides the fact that the pen has been a bit overworked of late. If they can get some quality innings out of Cotts, they might be able to impress some other teams with 2 bullpen arms like Cotts and Ascanio.
-
How quickly we all forget that the Dodgers gave the Cubs Cesar Izcrapius for Greg Maddux. And we want to send 4 young guys for Derek Lowe? Reed Johnson seems fair.

5/28 Dodgers (Lowe) @ Cubs (Z!) 7:05 pm ESPN2/WGN

Glendon Rusch starting against the Cubs on Saturday. Yay. Edmunds on the bench against a RHP.
