May 5, 200818 yr Since Woody blew the save against the Brewers, the Cubs offense has looked pretty rough. Hopefully a visit to Cincy will be just what they need. DeRosa had a hard night at the hot corner last night so I'm hoping Ramirez's wrist will be better so he can be back in the line up. I'm ready to send Soriano down for some rehab work in Iowa, but apparently that is not a possibility. With Wellenmeyer and Losch leading the Cards, I cannot believe they are in first place in the Central. Unbelievable!

May 5, 200818 yr 100 years, 100 years, 100 years. Just kidding. I had to throw that out there after your and Scribe's rant. The Reds should be just what the doctor ordered for the Cubs. If the Cubbies can scratch out at least 4 runs each game they should be able to win. The Reds do have Cueto, Harang, and Volquez going, so we could see some pitcher's duels.
May 5, 200818 yr Reds are going to get healthy against the Cubs and win 2 out of 3. I don't like it and I will have to hear about it on the OTHER thread. But that's fine, I dished it out when they were winning in Wrigley, I can take it if the tables are turned this time. :lol:

There you go trying to use that reverse psychology again. :pThe Cubs have Dempster and Zambrano going the 1st two games. Who will pitch the 3rd game for the Cubs?

There you go trying to use that reverse psychology again. :pThe Cubs have Dempster and Zambrano going the 1st two games. Who will pitch the 3rd game for the Cubs? It's not reverse psychology, the Reds are due to play halfway decent, if only for a couple games. It just happens to be against the Cubs. Zambrano seems to always melt down against the Reds and do you REALLY think Dempster is a 20 game winner? According to the Cubs website, Lieber replaces Hill and will start on Wednesday. Which means he won't last anymore than 4 or 5 innings and the Reds will score 10 runs or more. :irked: :lol:
May 5, 200818 yr I like Leiber in the rotation. He's been solid out of the pen so far. Perhaps their most effective reliever other than Marmol. The Cubs have always hit well at GABP. We'll see if they can hit more than the Reds.

He dominates the Reds.
May 5, 200818 yr Author I'm glad to see Lieber back in the rotation. When Piniella pulled Hill in the first inning on Friday, I thought he might as well go pack his bags for Iowa!
May 6, 200818 yr Again. No. Clutch. Hitting. Frustrating to lose two of three to the last place Nationals and now likely two of three to the last place Reds. Ridiculous to lose this one.
May 6, 200818 yr If I was a Cubs fans the thing that would worry me is.... They just came off there best hitting month in franchise history and thats pretty impressive but they are only 5 I think now 4 games over .500. They have some serious concerns with their pitching staff.
May 6, 200818 yr Clutch Hitting. I've said it all year long. They lose a game like tonight and they are liable to win 12-3 tomorrow. Yes, they've scored 15 runs in two days but at the end of the day, it's .500 ball and that's not good enough. They also miss Aramis Ramirez.
May 6, 200818 yr Did you watch Saturday's game when FOX predicted what would happen on the next pitch? Pay attention to the graphics at the top of the screen http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bXQ4PvGwagg
May 6, 200818 yr I was at Busch last night, I hate Cardinal fans, they are so modest:madman: Seriously, I was there with one of my best friends who's a huge Card fan, well we go and cheer for our team and talk baseball but we never really try and heckle the other, but for some reason 3 Cardinal fans were sitting behind us (drunk of course) and ran there mouths the whole game, trashing everything from Wrigley to Soriano. About the 3rd time one of them nudge me and said something about Wrigley, I had to turn around and tell him in a not so friendly statement or tone that if he touched me again I'd break the arm that was attached to that hand. He didn't say a word the rest of the evening...
May 6, 200818 yr Tigers designated Jaque Jones for assignment today. Hitting a robust .165 on the season with a Corey Patterson-like .244 OBP. Jim Hendry -- don't you dare answer that phone!
