Cubs have won 9 of 15 including series wins over teams with three of the best four records in the NL. Hopefully they can keep it up. Go Cubs!
-
Win the game, win the series, continue recent run of good results. Get it done, Cubs.
-
No game thread up so I figured I would start one. Looks like these might end up being first come first serve this year with the way the team is playing. Anyway... Go Cubs!
-
I was talking with my dad about this last night but I'm not sure how to do the math on it so hopefully somebody can help me out. If you matched up a really bad team (like the 2011 Astros) against a really good team (like the 2011 Phillies), what are the chances the bad team wins a five-game series or a seven-game series?

He's thrown three straight complete game shutouts and a 33 inning scoreless streak. His June: 5 GS, 42 IP, 1 R, 1 ER, 21 H, 8 BB, 0.21 ERA, 0.69 WHIP and an opposing batting line of .151/.197/.173. His last two games were against the Red Sox (2nd in R/G, 2nd in OPS) and the Cardinals (5th and 4th). The last team to score against him? The Chicago Cubs in the third inning on June 11 when the immortal Luiz Montanez singled home Starlin Castro.

Cubs go for the series win and their first three-game winning streak of the year. GO CUBS!
-
Three out of four qualifies as a hot streak for the Cubs so hopefully they keep it up. GO CUBS!

Win the game, win the series. GO CUBS!

Southpaw is still MIA and with today's game being a day game, I figured I'd get this thread up. http://a.espncdn.com/combiner/i?img=/i/headshots/mlb/players/full/5580.png&w=350&h=254 3.84 ERA, 1.23 WHIP in 11 games, 10 starts. http://a.espncdn.com/combiner/i?img=/i/headshots/mlb/players/full/4138.png&w=350&h=254 8.31 ERA, 1.85 WHIP in two starts The Cubs had a good start to the homestand by taking two of three against the Mets and scoring 24 runs in the process. Hopefully they can keep it up this weekend against the Pirates and Astros to get closer to the Cards heading into the series in St. Louis next weekend. Also, if someone wants to inform the Cubs that winning more than two straight games is a good thing, that would be wonderful. GO CUBS!

http://a.espncdn.com/combiner/i?img=/i/headshots/mlb/players/full/30592.png&w=350&h=254 6.26 ERA, 1.57 WHIP, 13 K, 6 BB in 23 IP over 13 appearances (four starts) As starter: 10.05 ERA, 2.02 WHIP, 8 K, 4 BB in 14 1/3 IP http://a.espncdn.com/combiner/i?img=/i/headshots/mlb/players/full/2748.png&w=350&h=254 5.40 ERA, 1.37 WHIP, 11 K, 8 BB in 23 1/3 IP over 11 appearances (two starts) As starter: 6.30 EAR, 1.70 WHIP, 4 K, 5 BB in 10 IP A great eighth inning propelled the Cubs on Saturday and hopefully they can keep it up tonight. Russell has allowed exactly four earned runs (two starts he gave up an unearned run) in all four of his starts this year while not allowing a single run in his relief appearances. Hopefully the Cubs can get some runs off Wakefield because Russell's likely to give up a few. GO CUBS!

http://a.espncdn.com/combiner/i?img=/i/headshots/mlb/players/full/4499.png&w=350&h=254 4.89 ERA, 1.26 WHIP, 39 K, 19 BB in 57 IP over nine starts vs. http://a.espncdn.com/combiner/i?img=/i/headshots/mlb/players/full/29223.png&w=350&h=254 2.60 ERA, 1.04 WHIP, 9 K, 6 BB in 17 1/3 IP over 11 relief appearances. First start of season. Tonight's game didn't go too well so hopefully the Cubs can bounce back on Saturday. GO CUBS!
-
This worked well last year so figured I'd start it up again. Milton Bradley got thrown out tonight while standing on second base and arguing (correctly, FWIW) an out call at first.

http://a.espncdn.com/combiner/i?img=/i/headshots/mlb/players/full/3845.png&w=350&h=254 2011: 20 IP, 22 H, 15 R, 14 ER, 7 BB, 22 K in three starts (vs. Pit, vs. Ari, at Hou) 2010: 3.85 ERA, 1.32 WHIP, 215 1/3 IP, 86 BB, 208 K in 34 starts. vs. http://rockies.mlb.com/images/players/525x330/489567.jpg MLB stats: None MiLB: 4.55 ERA, 1.44 WHIP, 886 2/3 IP in 153 appearances (148 starts) over 6+ seasons AAA (09-11): 5.69 ERA, 1.58 WHIP, 289 2/3 IP, 97 BB, 179 K in 55 appearances (50 starts) A much better game on Saturday saw the Cubs even their record at 7-7. A win in this one moves the Cubs over .500, gives them the series victory and would send them back to Wrigley after a 5-4 road trip. Johnson looks very hittable so hopefully the offense shows up again and Dempster delivers a solid start. GO CUBS!

http://a.espncdn.com/combiner/i?img=/i/headshots/mlb/players/full/30947.png&w=350&h=254 1st start vs. Mil: 5 IP, 9 H, 4 ER, 1 BB, 2 K Last year: 4.11 ERA, 1.42 WHIP, 57 IP, 25 BB, 27 K in 12 appearances, 8 starts vs. http://a.espncdn.com/combiner/i?img=/i/headshots/mlb/players/full/6480.png&w=350&h=254 2011: 11 IP, 12 H, 8 R, 6 ER, 4 BB, 5 K at NYM and vs. LAD 2010: 4.81 ERA, 1.49 WHIP, 177 2/3 IP, 47 BB, 141 K in 30 starts Friday's game obviously didn't go too well so it can't get much worse. The Cubs haven't won more than two straight this year but haven't lost more than two straight either. Hopefully they can turn things around and get the W. GO CUBS!

Here are the first round matchups: WEST 1. San Antonio vs. 8. Memphis 4. Oklahoma City vs. 5. Denver 3. Dallas vs. 6. Portland 2. Los Angeles vs. 7. New Orleans EAST 1. Chicago vs. 8. Indiana 4. Orlando vs. 5. Atlanta 3. Boston vs. 6. New York 2. Miami vs. 7. Philadelphia In case you didn't know (like I didn't up until a couple weeks ago) there is no reseeding in the NBA playoffs.

Has anyone seen any good deals for MLB.TV for 2011?
-
I hope it is okay that I make a new NBA thread for non Bull fans. The season opens tonight with the debut of the new look Miami Heat going to Boston. And the night ends with the defending 2x NBA Champion LA Lakers getting their rings and taking on the Rockets. Should be a fun year. Go BUCKS!

Has walked only four batters this year in 86 2/3 IP. That's 0.415 BB/9 and would be sixth ever in baseball and the best since 1900 (beating Carlos Silva's 0.43 from 2005). He's also struck out 76 batters for a ridiculous 19 K/BB. The record is 11 set by Bret Saberhagen in 1994 (143 K, 13 BB).
-
Figured this would work better than individual other games, at least for now. Anyway, Jered Weaver has a no-no through six against the Mariners today.

Series finale. Cubs going for sweep. Please pitch well, Z. Please score some runs again, offense. Go Cubs.
-
Second game of the series. Follows an off day. Please pitch well again, bullpen. Please score some runs again, offense. Go Cubs.
-
Home opener. Please don't suck, bullpen. Please score some runs, offense. Go Cubs.

I'm doing a story on the various UC Davis players that are in the minors and was wondering if somebody could provide me with the Baseball America rankings for the players from their prospect handbook. BA online only lists the top-10 and I'm wondering if any other Aggies are in the top-30. I'm looking for: Ryan Scoma (Giants) Ty Kelly (Orioles) Andy Suiter (Dodgers) Jake Jefferies (Rays) Justin Fitzgerald (Giants) Ryan Royster (Mariners) Bryan Evans (Marlins) Eddie Gamboa (Orioles) Brad McAtee (Rockies) Thanks for the help.

Even though it appears the Cubs are a sinking ship, hopefully they can at least beat the Natinals.

They give them all to some guy named "Ben Braun". From the Associated Press:
