I know I'm in the minority here, and some would consider it blasphemous, but I find Pat Hughes that great of a "fill in" PbP guy. I don't dislike him or anything. I just don't find him particularly interesting. -
Thru 3 innings, Walker has thrown a 1st pitch strike to ALL 10 batters he's faced. Only three times have Cubs hitters swung at the first pitch. The other seven have actually been "right down the middle" strikes. Would like to see them be a little more aggressive second time thru the order.

Cubs do not give up a first inning run!!!

Marquee picking the announcing team each game, or so it seems.

As the Cubs sag in the standings, so to, does it seem, the enthusiasm to start gam threads. Forgive me for bogarting today's gam thread, but I home, bored, and available (my "go to" line to the ladies).

Iowa must miss him. -
Cubs fans the first few weeks of the season: Cubs fans since: Pitching matchup: Does it really matter? Let's get this out of the way sooner than later:

Just read that Angel Hernandez hasn't umped a game since April 3. That's a shame.

I think the Cubs nice (and surprising) start of 12-7 got most fans optimism up. They weren't as good as that start indicated. Since then, they're 7-15 which is pretty bad. But not completely unexpected. I didn't like the sweep at Florida, exacerbated by the 1-run losses. But even worse was losing 3 of 4 to the Nats, especially after winning game one. A little bit of luck and that 7 game stretch could've been a little different. Otherwise, they really have played, series wise, not too unsuspectingly. They came home and one the Florida series, lost the series to the Cards (not really surprising), lost the series to the Twins (one of the best starting rotations in baseball), and have now lost to the Astros in game 1. They'll probably lose this series and the next at Philly before coming home. And they have a decent shot of winning the home series against the Mets and Reds before facing TB. I can see them going 7-7 in there next 14 to close out the month 3 games under. The schedule should even out a bit after that. Let's hope anyway.

Game gonna be played? Looks like pretty bad storms across the Midwest. edit - guess the storms stay south of Chicago until later in the week.

Rays put up a 10 spot in the 7th, and single runs in the 8th and 9th. White Sox about ready to lose their TENTH IN A ROW. -
I have seen that clip at least 100 times, know exactly where it's going, and belly-ache laugh every time!! I love the PBP and analysis!

Stroman versus Waldichuk - what could go wrong?
-
Over/Unders for tomorrow's game: Hits - 5.5 Runs - 2.5 Base runners - 7.5

I'm not certain a sweep is ever the realistic expectation for any team. Even the worst teams of all-time with 1/3 of their games.
-
1 pitch away from a sweep in LA. Damn, but winning two is great.
-
And a crappy way to give up an RBI single.
-
Your good! Your post was probably more creative than mine anyway. 😁
-
I think I was next in the order. Is there a certain time before the game started that I needed to have the game thread posted by??
-
Oh dansby.
