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.

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.

In fairness...
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.

I dont care….they play the game, sorry if they dont have recliners in their locker, sorry that make so much money and bitch, sorry they have an amusement park on the south side (which brings out more fans on fireworkds night)
Forget them, they dont appreciate playing at Wrigley? Really? Well theyre the only ones. This is attention grabbing crap to make their fans like them more.

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?

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

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.

Does anyone know the Wrigley rules...
about makeup games? Would the Cubs be allowed to play a day-night DH on Saturday if today’s game is washed out?
I’d hate to play a day-night DH on Sunday with a flight to SF afterwards.

Len and Bob are employed by the Cubs and thus announce Cubs games for whichever outlet it airing them (WGN or CSN).

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'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.

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.
