I'm 3-3 this year at Wrigley (losses were Opening Day, the Shawn Estes game, and the first game of the second Milwaukee series). So they are 21-5 when I'm not there. Jeez, we stink. I'm 3-3 myself in the games I've been to this year.
Joe will be in rare form for this game...looking at his comments this season, he basically thinks every team is a sham except for the Red Sox, so he's gonna be on and them some for the Cubs and White Sox if both are still in 1st place.
The double play was incredibly shammy. Only a sham closer gets into that situation in the first place. And then a 3rd out flyball? No strikeouts? SHAM.
Good Lord. I left for work with it 9-4 in disgust...then I'm on the train, checking the game on my phone ad the Cubs' score just keeps going up and up. Amazing.
No. Not at all either. I think if the Cubs wanna go far in the playoffs they're going to need to aquire a #2. Most people here have been saying that for most of this season. Lilly isn't this bad, but he's not a "true" #2 that you can hinge your playoffs on with the ace.
Even our forfeit lineup look pretty good. Theres nothing wrong with Ramirez is there? He's 0-10 against the starter, so it's a nice day to give him a break.
What the hell difference does it make? If you get warmed up then come into the game, you'll cool down anyway afterwards, just like if you warm up and then sit back down. His arm is fine. If you're going to baby him that much put him in a diaper. My god. So then let him pitch. This is a crappy team in town for a long series...odds are they won't need him for 3 games in a row.
