cubs/diamondbacks

[pin2win]

today is the day for lee and aram to break through these guys have horrible batting averages but have produced runs oddly enough. the wind as we all know is blowing out in iowa and wind is blowing 15+ in chicago.

ted lilly gets the start and went six shutout innings for the win in milwaukee allowing just 3 hits. cubs have got to be pleased and lilly has the upperhand as the pitcher today. the backs start kennedy who has never pitched at wrigley. i look for a lot of balls to be hit out of the park and hopefully lilly doesn't leave any up today.

great day for baseball in chicago

go cubs!

GO CUBS! I bet the cubs have the worst LOB in the MLB.

Nothing like a windy day and Lilly throwing BP with a fastball in the low 80s and a curveball that hit 70...

 

[pin2win]

can't believe cubs playing like this after that winning streak

As the groundscrew from Major League I and II would say "They're sh itty"

 

[hawkfarmer]

Why is it that the cubs make each young pitcher they face look like Cy Young?

 

[HawkeyeBench]

I have a theory that Soto started smoking the weed again. Only way to explain his improved average this year.

 

[HawkeyeShane]

When your 2 big bats (Lee and Ramirez) are batting a combined .170 (estimated)...your offense will suck out loud.

Yes indeed Japanese grounds crew...yes indeed...

Not fair hawkfarmer! The Cubs only struggle against...

Pitchers they're facing for the first time...

Right handers...

Pitchers coming off of the DL...

Pitchers who have a high ERA coming into their start against the Cubs...

Pitchers who have bounced around the majors AND minors...

Pitchers who can keep their slider in the general area of the playing field...

Soft tossers...

Lefties...

Pitchers with long hair/mullets...

and pitchers that are former Cubs but released because they were terrible...
