This reversal-of-fortune post will include several different types of things intended to reverse the Cubs' recent rough streak. First, a movie: Next, a paragraph written backwards: .niarts redlouhs a htiw emag s'thgin tsal gnivael retfa seires eht fo tser eht rof tuo eb yam sualG yorT :emag s'thginot rof eton tnatropmi eno ylno s'erehT Finally, a quote, suggested by reader Trey2317: These are the times that try men's souls. -- Thomas Paine |
|
The rest of this is done in the reverse order from usual. Discuss amongst yourselves. You know where to find the threads. They'll be up at 7 pm, 8 pm, 9 pm and 9:45 pm CDT. Baseball-reference.com game preview Will history repeat? The previous time the Cubs lost back-to-back games in walk-off fashion (May 24 and 25 at Pittsburgh), they immediately reeled off their season-high nine-game winning streak from May 26-June 3. Today's game is on cable, CSN Chicago -- good thing, too, because the Cubs are 50-19 on CSN, under .500 on WGN. Does this really matter? It shouldn't, of course, but it's weird. Also see the MLB.com Mediacenter. In his spare time, Braden Looper helps handicapped children to learn how to make ecologically sustainable clothing and grow their own food. After that, each day, he tends to the wind farm he has installed near Busch Stadium that provides all the power for the lights in the stadium, helps every little old lady in the state of Missouri across the street, scans all the tickets into the ballpark and has personally agreed to adopt the first 10,000 pets that are made homeless by Hurricane Ike.

"I can accept failure, but I can't accept not trying" - Michael Jordan, the one and only...
A couple ex-Cub notes:
1. Sean Gallagher pitched four innings of no-hit ball in Detroit today. He also struck out six. The only bad news: He walked six, too.
2. For those of you who didn’t follow the Brewers game today, Jerry Hairston Jr. hit a three-run shot off of CC to give the Reds a 3-1 lead for a while. Alas, it wasn’t enough as the Brewers wound up edging the Reds 4-3 – mainly because Dusty left his bifocals at home and couldn’t see that David Weathers had absolutely nothing today. Thanks for beating Milwaukee twice anyway, Dusty!

What scares me is that if the Cubs win tonight this web site will remain backwards.
However, with that lineup I don’t expect the team to win tonight. Hopefully, I’m wrong. On both counts!
Other than it being hard on the eyes
I say go for it! Whatever it takes!

Goodnight ya'll...
Normally I would feed the girls when I got home, but tonight I do the opposite: the girls will go hungry!! Go Cubs Go!!

9 is the number for tonight
We get 9 runs
and Playoffs # is 9 with 17 to go. We will all sleep a little easier
I've been bleeding double blue Cubbies & NY Rangers
Shot in the dark here
But what would you tell/show the team to motivate them out of this slump?
One day I hope to come up with something worthy of this space.

No tonight he is righthanded

Just got home from dinner...
And I’m ready for the Cubbies to kick the crap outta the Cards! They’re sure gonna roll they’re shirts up.
Hahaha...
I just got home from work, and with the Pre-Game write-up from Al, and all the pics, this must be the funniest “just lost 8 of 9 games Pre-Game thread” ever.

In honor of doing opposites....
I am actually gonna post instead of just lurking!

OT: D-Bags get swept by the lowly Giants!
Giants get two in the ninth with two outs and an 0-2 count.
How’s that for a collapse?
See? it’s not so bad when you have company on the misery train.
Wow, just wow
They are struggling right now and the Dodgers are hot. Lets not know what the D-Bags are feeling.
Your 2008 Missouri Tigers! #6 2-0 (0-0). Next up Saturday home vs. Nevada. Chase for Heisman!
I just e mailed my D'Backs friend in sympathy
Said we could both go on a bender if things don’t change
However he knows I am rooting for the Dodgers because of Maddux so I can’t exactly
want them to win.

I'm going to return to a tradition I kept for a while back when the wins were coming more frequently...
My fearless predictions for tonight.
1. Pie will get at least one hit and will score at least one run.
2. Dome will reach base at least twice.
3. DeRo will make a really good defensive play.
4. Ramy will go deep.
5. Looper will pitch three good innings — and two very bad ones.
6. Milton will make an appearance tonight.

I live in Houston and the one of the local sports radio stations mentioned the possibility of shifting the Friday game to a 1:05 start and playing a doubleheader on Sunday.

Monday is an off day
So even they do have a DH on Sunday it would IN THEORY not effect the rotation but
it will make flipping people less likely.

Is it bad that I thought PIE's appearance in the lineup
was only part of the “opposite day” theme?
Lou must have gotten the memo! Now maybe DONT BUNT SOTO. or use howry.

…Piniella just gave his lineup to Santo backwards. He started in the 8 hole and went up to the leadoff guy.

Bump you still reading baseball books?
the one I’ve been reading the last week and a half isnt sports related at all.

Yep
Still reading Wrigleyville. Long book, but interesting. Nice history of the Cubs. The Campy book will be my next read prolly.

Houston we may have a problem
I’m in the Houston area now, was supposed to be here until Sat. morn and go to the game Fri. night.
Found out today that Southwest is canceling flights Fri thru next Monday, needless to say I’m getting out of here tomorrow before it hits the fan.
Might be a challenge for the Cubs to even get into Houston by Friday…we’ll see.
Fat , drunk , and ,stupid is now way to go through life son.
If that storm hits close...
…its highly likely they move those games somewhere else.

Gracias, hope to be back in time to watch tomorrow night's game in my living room

Try punting those tickets before you leave though
Maybe someone will pick’em up
One day I hope to come up with something worthy of this space.
still tickets available if anyone wants to tempt fate..lol not me I want to be alive to see the Cubs win it all this year

After reading the recap, the only thing I can think about it is how much of a hunk Soto is.
Does that make me gay?
