First Pitch Thread: Cubs vs. Giants, Thursday 7/3, 6:05 CT

It's kind of like an East Coast start, at this time. Except for the shadows. Maybe it'll be cloudy.

I'm waiting on MLB.tv for the magic words

“Chicago Cubs Baseball is on the air!”

I’m also watching NYY/BOS on AFN… I get the YES feed of the game.

leaving them behind sucks

but picture his flight: agent greets him from his limo, brings him to ultra-lounge, gets him whatever he wants/needs, escorts him to boarding area, escorts him into pre-board, flight attendant fawns/flutters, gets him whatever he wants/needs. Fully reclines seat/bed. Snoozes. Eats. Drinks. Lands. Agent greets him at gate, escorts through customs. Limo. Home. Sleep.

the Cubs should wear the blue caps with the road greys. If they MUST wear the red bills, let that happen with the Zambrano-only blue jersey.

Remind me again

...just what exactly is Gallagher’s major league out pitch? Certainly not a high fastball and not that roundhouse curve. Middle of the road starter on his best days. Bullpen is where he belongs. One inning and done.

Sucks to not capitalize on that single,

but Lincecum has thrown 88 through 5.

Hopefully we can get to their pen in the 6th.

No way.

Lincecum doesn’t look NEARLY as dominating as Kazmir did. And I guarantee Kazmir didn’t have that many pitches through 5…anyone got the book on that?
