The CUBS have scored more than 4 runs in a game not started by Cy Silva only twice in their last 17 games. Go CUBS !!

Maybe we could try Theriot as a pitcher. Theriot you can trade, eh?

Ya can't trade Cy Silva !!! In the first place, the CUBS haven't lost a game that Silva started since 09 April !! That's almost 2 months !!! In the second place, the CUBS score 6.50 RPG when Silva pitches and 3.65 RPG when he doesn't. If they trade Silva they'd have no offense at all, being on a pace to score 591 runs all season !!! LONG LIVE CY SILVA !!!

http://a.espncdn.com/i/headshots/mlb/players/65/4499.jpg Carlos Zambrano (1-3) ERA = 6.12, WHIP = 1.70 vs. http://a.espncdn.com/i/headshots/mlb/players/65/6219.jpg Zack Duke (3-5) ERA = 5.09, WHIP = 1.70 Reminder: This game will be on AM 560 because of the hockey game. Go CUBS !! Go BLACKHAWKS !! Seems to me C.C. has had 3 strikes now. Let's pass the baton to Butters for Friday's game.

Notice also the coincidences here..... white sox also playing in town and winning by the same score..... same umpiring crew in Wrigley that night as in Pittsburgh tonight !!!

You need to go to more games, or even watch on tv, as they often show this..... Tue 19 Aug 2008, Harden over Cueto, right ????

Oh, quit yer crying and go start tomorrow's game thread !! :wink:

CUBS have been outscored 6-0 in the 9th inning over the last 7 games. Go CUBS !!

Good point. From now on, I'm going to encourage actual discussion. Would you like to start ? lol, don't get testy, i'm making an actual point yeah, but your hair covers it. :wink:

Good point. From now on, I'm going to encourage actual discussion. Would you like to start ?

What? It's a tangent from the game and it's a discussion about the Cubs. Are the game threads only going to consist of updates as to what happens in the game? http://www.northsidebaseball.com/bridge/index.php?f=26&t=31212&rb_v=viewtopic

It's like deja vu all over again. I'll swear I've seen this movie before !!

But the game thread has a chance of getting to 4 pages tonight... There's probably a good reason for that. :wink:

erik, N&G, This is a really interesting discussion you're having, but it has absolutley nothing to do with tonight's game. If you want to pursue it further, CUBS Discussions Forum would be a real good place. Thanx.

Great !! Now we're back to 7 pitch innings. Go CUBS !!

CUBS are 17-3 when they lead at the end of the 7th inning Go CUBS !!

CUBS are 15-11 when the opponent GIDPs at least once.... 9-17 when they don't Go CUBS !!

Last time the CUBS held the opponents to 4 hits in a game.... Sat 29 May 10 (4 hits) in a 5-0 win over St. Louis at Wrigley Go CUBS !!

CUBS are 19-13 when the opposing starter pitches 6-1/3 innings or less.... 5-15 when he doesn't Go CUBS !!

Awwwww.... isn't that sweet !

CUBS are 18-14 when they get a quality start.... 6-14 when they don't CUBS are 12-19 when the opponent gets a quality start.... 12-9 when they don't Go CUBS !!

Why is Nady hitting 3rd ??

That's the first HR given up by Lilly in his last 4 games. Go CUBS !!
