Game 1
H. Bailey (R) 2 0-2 5.40
C. Volstad (R) 2 0-1 4.91

Game 2
M. Leake (R) 2 0-1 5.84
P. Maholm (L) 2 0-2 13.50

Game 3
J. Cueto (R) 3 1-0 1.89
R. Dempster (R) 3 0-1 1.33

This is a good time to be facing the Reds. Outside of yesterday, they have not been hitting the ball at all. Before yestrerday the pitching staff had a better batting average than the number 4 spot in the lineup.

Bright spots: Arloldis Chapman (8IP, 15K, No walks, No Runs), Bronson Arroyo (2.91 ERA), Devin "Mescaro", Zack Cozart

Dark spots: Team batting, Matt Latos, Scott Rolen, Injuries (Phillips is playing with strained hamstring though)

I think Cubs win today and Reds win Saturday and Sunday.

How many more games are left?

Number of runs scored: 7

Byrd outs vs Cub runs for the series? Which will there be more of?

Northside Dan does it with the nice colors and stuff.

Cubs win 1.

Team Cutler.

Agreed on both counts, Dan. The Cubs are the cherry on top of the Sports Shit Sundae. They will win 1. maybe.

No Clevenger, no interest. Bring back Quade!!!!!!!!!!

Finally got LaHair where he belongs.

Scott Maine recalled, china doll Kerry Wood to DL. Randy Wells spotted at ballpark too. Lendy Castillo cut maybe??

I'm in a close battle in offensive categories in FBB. Luckily, Joey Votto is coming to Chicago which should put me over the top.

Phillips is out, but Mescaro is playing. Bailey sucks. Rolen moved out of the #4 spot.

Demptser had an MRI on his right quad and it is questionable whether he can make his start Sunday. That is why Wells is here.

i see that fragile bitch kerry wood is on the d.l. again...whats that 16 times in his over rated career...i am pissed this guy is on the roster..he will be ont he d.l. again this year 1-2 more times.. i hate you tom ricketts

Hopefully they just shelve him and be done with it. Let the guy have his honorary mascot ambassador position and call it a day, enough with this farce pretending he can still play baseball.

I bet Byrd is being a pussy and wearing that stupid ass ski mask thing under his hat today.

Castro wasting no time with an error.

Soto's throw sucked. It was way too far to the right and Castro would have been destroyed by the runner if he went all out for it.

JEsus fucking christ Byrd. How the hell can you fuck up a simple ground ball in the outfield.

I hope no one bothered to sit down. This game is over.

This should be a good summer to see contests at wrigley for dirt cheap, this team's going to be 50 games back by mid July.

So is it pretty much a given that when Volstad starts they just spot the other team 4 runs?

Tomorrow's starter, Paul Maholm...Not much better.

BITE


I'd like to thank the Cubs for at least helping my fantasy team out this week. Hanley Ramirez had a big series, hopefully Stubbs can get some steals and runs this weekend.

I'll refrain as much as possible.

SHARK had an accurate yet funny statement here RFDC;

Frank is a bad seed SHARK, you would be wise to avoid him.
