Open Thread: Cubs vs. White Sox, Friday 6/20, 1:20 CT
Chicago White Sox at Chicago Cubs, Jun 20, 2008 1:20 PM CDT
Summer is here -- temperatures finally will reach the mid-80's today, and the Cubs are facing the White Sox, and the next week will be filled with crosstown hype, as the two clubs face each other six of their next nine games. The series has even gotten national hype -- two consecutive appearances on ESPN's Sunday night game, and for the game at the Cell next Saturday the 28th, Fox-TV let its affiliates choose Cubs/Sox or Mets/Yankees. 60% of them chose Cubs/Sox.
After eleven years of interleague play, this series, always hard-fought no matter where each club is in the standings, is tied at thirty wins each -- and the Cubs had to win five of six last year to accomplish that tie. It's even between ballparks, too -- each team is 16-14 at home.
For some national analysis and fun see this Jeff Passan column at Yahoo.
Enough hype. On to the numbers:
| Today's Starting Pitchers | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Ted Lilly threw the first game of the Cub/Sox series at Wrigley Field last year, throwing seven good innings in a 6-3 Cubs win. Paul Konerko has hit three HR off him, but Konerko's on the DL. Expect to see Toby Hall catching today, as Hall is .409/.480/.591 (9-for-22) against Lilly. Nick Swisher is 5-for-15, a double and 2 HR, in his AL days vs. Lilly.
John Danks has thrown well this year; he has never faced the Cubs. It'd be useful if Reed Johnson could play today, because then the Cubs could send an all-RH hitting lineup (except for Kosuke Fukudome) against Danks.
OK, listen carefully. All six Cub/Sox games will be nationally televised. Today's game is on WGN -- with the Sox announcers, so you can watch, but you'll have to turn the sound off. Len & Bob will be on CSN today. For more see the MLB.com Mediacenter.

Jarts
Lawn darts (also called Jarts or yard darts) is a lawn game for two players or teams. A lawn dart set usually includes four large darts and two targets. The game play and objective are similar to both horseshoes and darts. The darts are similar to the ancient Roman plumbata.

Read last nights game thread
as I usually do to see some of your comments about the game. Sure was disappointed in the back and forth banter. I can understand being upset by the way we were losing but some of the comments were really uncalled for. Sure hope we have calmed down today and win or lose please maintain some semblance of common decency.

So i went for a run after work last night and I always run around the stadium on the way home. So who do I see (it appeared he just walked out of the stadium) standing at the back entrance to the bleachers with and usher and some random guy—-none other than the Human Air Siren himself. What the hell is he doing in the ballpark on an away game day? I swear, he must have a bed under the bleachers or something.
I hate that man, fortunately his mouth was shut.

I'm sure it's not just me but I am so sick
of hearing guillen and williams and sox players just rip the cubs for no apparent reason. Every single time things go poorly for them they rip the cubs and no one cares. I don’t know how many seperate articles i saw in the sun times today about someone from the sox slamming the cubs or wrigley but it was way too many. Worry about your own team.

You never hear the Cubs management, players, etc rip into them but you always do from the Sox. This is odd considering they are the ones who won a WS a few years ago…..

Majority of their fans have an inferiority complex. Every single time the topic about the cubs comes up, they start yelling “Cubs Suck!” or “Completely Useless by September” and yes, “Bartman!” I know there are obnoxious and moronic Cubs fans, but the Sox fans are taking it to a whole new level.
this dickhead friend of a friend of mine

I don’t imagine the facilities for the visiting team in Wrigley are… shall we say… the most up to date. Wrigley is certainly picturesque from a fan’s perspective, and it has lots of history, but the Sox aren’t the only ones who’ve made comments like this about Wrigley.

One thing that certainly needs to change
Especially in the first two games of the Tampa series is.
ERRORS
We looked like butchers in the field during the first two games of that series, and actually last nights game had that as well. ERRORS = Runs which = Losses… Who’d a thought right?

But the Errors killed us.

Thanks!!!
It looked like it was clearing up, but it is now kind of cloudy again (I am one block from wrigley, but have missed a lot of the pre-game coverage on tv)
Clearing Sky ....
should see some sun during the game and it will warm into the 80’s.
If It Takes Forever ....
Here's how I look
at it. Kenny and Ozzie are jealous and always will be. Sure they won a WS but they know that most people in Chicago know they won’t have an official WS until the Cubs win it. Mariotti was spot on in his column. The Cubs are a class organization and the Sux are not.
Let’s get a win today guys!!!!
Good grief
I don’t like the White Sox either. But for crying out loud they DID win a World Series title. Something the Cubs haven’t been able to do since 1908. I’m pretty sure the White Sox don’t walk around with an inferiority complex in comparison to the Cubs.
GET Rich Harden !! 9 starts, 4-0, 53 IP, 67 Ks, 2.53 ERA

not that I'd expect you to be able to pick up on it
but have you read the things they say?
The White Sox have a MASSIVE inferiority complex. And why shouldn’t they? After all, I bet very few of them played college ball at NIU in the early 80s.

Re: Cedeno
Getting tired of seeing his name on the lineup card. 11 for his last 55 with ONE RBI and ONE extra base hit (a double); 8 strikeouts in his last 16 at bats. He’s an automatic out at this point and it is a plus if he even hits the ball out of the infield. I think four of his 11 hits were swinging bunts
Just gonna say the same thing
this negativity means that Ronny is having a big game today

Oh man
The Hawk needs to put down whatever he is smoking. I actually had a conversation with a Redsox fan in 2005 (when the Redsox were playing the Cubs) and he told me that in every Yank-Redsox match there would be trash talk, cursing, fights etc.
And there's not in Cubs/Sox games?
Although I believe it’s more civil. Every game I’ve been to/watched/heard about there’s always some type of hassling going on. But I think that’s expected….As you can see here
Go All In and Enjoy The Ride.
"Some" is the key
In any rivalry game you are going to have scuffles, but its far more rampant IMO with the Yanks and Sox. I think its a little more contained between the Cubs and Sox. And I chalk that up to midwestern tempermant.
How does one measure a Rivalry?
Intense fans (who fight each other) , ESPN acknowledgment and coverage. If so the Cubs/Sox have both.

I thought
We were speaking mainly in terms of intensity of fan negativity. Which is where I think the East Coasters have us beat. Which, I think is a good thing. Not to say it does not exist, but rather how much and how bad. I’ve encountered, as you have too I’m sure, many obnoxious Sox fans. But, I never get into shouting matches with them or worse a physical fight. I think there tends to be more of a mob action mentality on the east coast, IMHO.
I lived in Boston
for 4 years – trust me, the Boston-New York rivalry, pre 2004, was brutal. you wouldn’t take young children to any of those games.
Well...i have a feeling the sox fans are going to make it into something like that
and ofcourse cubs fans wont back down. Give it a couple more years
I have to agree too
There is too much contending history between the Yanks and Sox, before interleague how much did the Cubs/WhiteSox really care about eachother. And I don’t mean in terms of regional differences, I’m talking from a baseball fans perspective.

I wouldn’t bring them to the Cell, for Cubs/Sox. It can get real nasty.

Why the hell was yesterday get away game not played in the afternoon.
Let see, the Cubs are in 3 cities in 4 days. Toronto , Cooperstown , Tampa and then have an afternoon game on Friday which has been the norm at home since ???
Too bad if Tampa cant fill 50% of their stadium with the Cubs in town
I was at CTOWN and it sucked that the game was not played, but last night instead of an afternoon game makes no sense

It's okay to be highly interested.
Giving up Pie, Gallagher, Hill & Marshall to “give away the farm to make this happen” is not. If the club gets Harden without overpaying, BlueMike doesn’t win.
Gallagher had better not go anywhere
in a trade. He is really making a good impression on me thus far

If Harden can stay healthy
He’s orders of magnitude better than Gallagher ever will be. I think it would be worth the gamble if you felt your training staff could keep him healthy.

I've never seen
...Gallagher project as anything more than a 3rd starter. And that’s dandy – a very useful thing. But Harden – when he’s healthy – is one of the best pitchers in the majors.
Gallagher has never dominated at any level – guys like that don’t turn into dominant pitchers in the majors magically.
I like Gallagher a lot and think he will be a very successful major league pitcher. But I think fans around here overvalue him a bit.
frankly
I’d rather wait and see. Harden is Mark Prior waiting to happen.

See that's a fair criticism
Saying Harden’s injury risk is too great to trade for him – that makes sense. I can accept that as a valid reason not to trade for him, even if I personally think the risk is worth it.
It just drives me wonky when I see people here overstating Gallagher’s upside.
