Cubs vs. Braves Official Game Thread...

[waldo7239117]

The Cubs continue there 7 game home stretch, with 3 against the Braves. They just got sweep by the Padres and are 0-4, with 3 more to go. Lets just hope the Cubs don't get swept again. As of right now, the Cubs would have the 5th pick in the 2011 draft.

Pitching Matchups:
Friday: Ryan Dempster (11-8, 3.62era) vs. Jair Jurrjens (5-4, 3.92era)
Saturday: Tom Gorzelanny (6-7, 3.85era) vs. Tommy Hanson (8-8, 3.41era)
Sunday: Randy Wells (5-11, 4.44era) vs. Mike Minor (1-0, 3.75era)

Series Notes:
*Derrek Lee is expected to play tomorrow, but for the Cubs opposition (Braves). He might be kept out of the lineup because of his back.
*Tyler Colvin is expected to be finally back in the starting lineup one of the games after not starting any game in the 4 game set with the Padres.
*Geovany Soto is expected to be activated from the 15 day DL on Sunday. *Will Castillo play either Friday or Saturday before he gets sent down before Sunday? He should because Hill SUCKS, but Lou plays the vets. But, he will be called up on September 1st according to multiple reports.

Talk Cubs/Braves here.

[waldo7239117]

Todays Lineup:

Fukudome RF
Castro SS
Byrd CF
Ramirez 3B
Soriano LF
DeWitt 2B
Nady 1B
Hill C
Dempster P

WTF, no Colvin and Castillo AGAIN. Hill was pathetic yesterday again. Castillo could play regulary for Triple A. Loy please go on an early retirement. No Colvin, he might be struggling but sitting on the bench won't help.

 

[Jntg4]

We lose.

 

[zack54attack]

Why is Koyie Hill playing?

 

[Jntg4]

Because Piniella loves him.

This.

 

[waldo7239117]

I love the standing ovation by Lee...I'm going to miss him.

 

[Jntg4]

I hope he gets out 1 more time today though.

 

[Jntg4]

****!

 

[Jntg4]

Marmol of all fucking people blows it!

 

[waldo7239117]

Marmol threw strikes but the ump never game it to him. It should of gone to a full count against Prado and who knows what would of happen. Also, he struck out McCsnn but he never got the pitch. Marmol throws to nasty and he fools the umps and that's BS.

I know, the ump was blind. It was bullshit.
