Night game at Wrigley...I'm probably going to walk over there tonight and see if I can get a $10 ticket.

Reds will lose, but at least I can see Leake give up 7 HRs.

Reds lose.







Lose the Reds will.


p.s. Votto not playing in this series at all. Did not feel comfortable after doing some slide exercises yesterday.

If they lose today, I'm starting tomorrow's thread. I've gone on hiatus after being 0-4 starting threads, but this losing to shitty ass NL Central teams is getting ridiculous. A loss today means losses in games by each SP, yesterday being the only game the starter wasn't outpitched. The Cubs are terrible yet have actually been decent over the past 2 months, at least compared to the first 2. I can see a split in this series which would be criminal, considering it's on for homefield advantage in the NL.

Not only have they lost 8 straight, they're pitching a guy who's 0-8. Therefore, if you lose, it'll be 8-4. Gotta have an 8 in there somewhere!

Jesus that video they showed he looked like shit IMO....running was not smooth or top speed and his slide was god-awful...looked like Stubbs' slide when he tries to slide and catch in CF....nearly hits his head on the ground he leans back so far.

And I still say Phillips is not anywhere near 100%....maybe 75%

Name the former Reds leadoff hitter who was placed into CF ad nauseum during Dusty Baker's first year and rocked a .238 OB%?

Name the former Reds platoon SS who only had a .306 OB% but won multiple world series and was a world series MVP with over 2300 hits and 1200 runs scored?

Stubbsy is going to have 2 great games, 1 good game, and 1 0-5 game this weekend.

Reds lose the opener 5-2.

BTW, so jealous of everyone going this weekend. Some buddies and myself were planning on going up for at least 2 of the games but plans have been cancelled. Love seeing the Reds at Wrigley.

Yeah, I'll be there with my friend that lives up in Chicago.

We are going to scalp, too. Not sure where we'll sit, if it isn't too hot we will probably sit out in the bleachers.
