  1. I can understand that, especially with the brewers righty dominated lineup, they tend to hit lefties very well. That's why I said that. I saw our lefties (Marshall, Hill, Lilly) get lit up by the brewers too many times. Braun especially murders lefties and hes on a rampage right now.
  2. I'm scared of Lilly getting lit up this game, but since June 1st, he's been pretty good. 5-2 3.41 ERA 1.28 WHIP 59 K in 63.1 IP (10 starts) Of course over that same time frame...CC: 7-0 1.60 ERA 0.84 WHIP 72 K in 73 IP (9 starts) Sabathia has also gone at least 8 IP in 7 of those 9 starts.
  3. Eyre - well rested Samardzija - Nope Gaudin - Nope Howry - well rested but who cares Marmol - only good for an inning Marshall - Probably still not available, in emergency can go 1 inning Cotts - Good to go. So assuming Lilly goes 6, it would probably be Cotts in the 7th, Howry in the 8th....and on the off chance Howry gets a few line drives directly at OFs, Marmol in the 9th. If he goes less than 6, then its looking like Eyre will finally get to pitch, but thats not a scenario that we really want.
  4. illiniguy, don't jump off the ledge just yet. Cubs are 4-6 in their last 10 road games, but the Brewers are 4-6 in their last 10 home games.
  5. His astounding 132.67 CQ (Crappiness Quotient) by far leads the team. Ronny Cedeno is second with 26.41.
  6. Would the Marlins like a second AAA team?
  7. Sheets hasn't looked good his last couple of starts. His control is still there but he has been very hittable. I think the offense is due to break out of its slump, while the Brewers have been starting to slump offensively except Braun. This is a case of teams possibly going in different directions (at least I hope). Sheets last few starts: 7 IP 4 H 3 R 2 BB 4K 5 IP 9 H 4 R 1 BB 3K 6 IP 5 H 3 R 2 BB 11K 5.2 IP 9 H 1 R 3 BB 6K 7 IP 9 H 5 R 2 BB 7K
  8. I'm going to say at least 10%. Let's just say on eBay there have been a lot of sellers from Wisconsin selling to a lot of buyers in Chicagoland
  9. That's what I'm saying. On paper the Brewers look to be big favorites tomorrow (add to the fact that they hit lefties pretty well), and on Thursday the Cubs look to be big favorites. I'm not saying their are gimmes because anything can happen, but likely those middle 2 games will decide who win the series or if it will be a split.
  10. I want to hear how everyone thinks this series is going to turn out, as it is becoming bigger and bigger of a series for us. I just have a good feeling about this series. The Cubs always seem to hit well at Miller Park and don't seem to play like the road team. Maybe it's because of all the Cubs fans, maybe its because they probably sleep at home, or could sleep at home after the games, who knows. But anyways, here are the pitching matchups: Game 1: Lilly vs. Sabathia Game 2: Zambrano vs. Sheets Game 3: Dempster vs. Parra Game 4: Harden vs. Bush I think the Cubs lose tomorrow, win either game 2 or game 3, and win game 4 for a split. If we get lucky we win game 2 and 3 and take 3 out of 4. I really don't see us losing this series.
  11. Turning point of the season right there?
  12. OK now I'm in a bad mood again :) Doesn't have the same impact because I was too young to remember, but hurts nonetheless.
  13. I'm not sure why you even posted that. Posting sports videos that make me happy. That was probably my favorite Michigan football game ever. Judgement Day!

  15. Good idea, lets post sports events that make us happy (not Cubs related)
  16. Me too. They earned their way into first place for sure.
  17. C'mon thats a home run. Give it to them.
