Around SBN: Knicks Beat Lakers With Familiar Strategy

Same Time, Next Year: Cubs vs. Padres, Monday 8/16, 7:05 CT

Due to the wacky way the MLB schedule is laid out these days, sometimes you don't see a particular opponent for a very long time.

It has been 362 days since the Cubs faced the Padres; the last game between the two teams was August 19, 2009 in San Diego, the last of a three-game series in which the Cubs lost two of three. They haven't played the Padres at Wrigley Field since May 14, 2009, the last of a three-game sweep just before a long Cub losing streak.

As best as I can reconstruct the Cubs' 25-man roster from August 19, 2009, there are only 11 players left from that day who are still on the 25-man roster today. They are: Kosuke Fukudome, Alfonso Soriano, Aramis Ramirez, Tom Gorzelanny, Derrek Lee, Jeff Baker, Randy Wells, Carlos Zambrano, Sean Marshall, Ryan Dempster and Carlos Marmol. Make it 12 if you want to count Geovany Soto, who's now on the DL. There will likely be more changes before Opening Day 2011.

Meanwhile, the Padres have been just about the best team in the National League since that date. Since August 20, 2009, the Padres are 93-63. The Cubs? Not so much... they're 72-89 since then. Eight of the Cubs' last 44 games will be against the Padres, including four the final week of the season in San Diego. Personally, if the Padres do win the NL West, let them do it before or after that series. I can't stomach the thought of them clinching the division and celebrating with the Cubs watching.

Oh, and the Padres have the best road record in the National League (33-25).

Tonight's lineups -- Cubs via tweet from CubsInsider:

#Cubs lineup vs. #Padres (8/16): Fukudome RF, Barney SS, Byrd CF, Ramirez 3B, Nady 1B, Soriano LF, DeWitt 2B, Hill C, Gorzelanny P

Padres lineup via tweet from the official Padres Twitter account:

#Padres lineup 8/16: J. Hairston 4, Tejada 6, Gonzalez 3, Ludwick 9, Torrealba 2, Headley 5, S. Hairston 7, Denorfia 8, Correia 1.

Kevin Correia has made four career starts vs. the Cubs (1-1, 3.75). He threw six shutout innings vs. the Cubs the last time the teams played, on August 19, 2009 in San Diego, a game the Cubs should have won except for the fact that Kevin Gregg wasn't a good closer. Current Cubs are 12-for-50 (.240) against Correia.

Tom Gorzelanny is 1-2, 4.24 in three career starts vs. the Padres. He has not faced them since 2007, when he was with the Pirates. Thus, the Padre he's faced most is Ryan Ludwick (1-for-11), who has spent most of his career with the Cardinals. Adrian Gonzalez hits him well (4-for-9, 1 HR), but then, Gonzalez hits everyone well.

Tonight's game is on WGN and Ch-4 San Diego. Normally, those SD games don't make it to Extra Innings, so if you don't have WGN, you're out of luck tonight. Here is the complete MLB.com Mediacenter for today.

IMHO

Tonight’s lineup sucks! Why is Colvin on the bench? I understand the playing veterans thing but the veterans suck!! Lou is truly an idiot.

Not defending Lou but

Colvin in August: .170 / .220 / .340.
Fukudome in August: .290 / .405 / .581.

Other than hit HR’s, Colvin really hasn’t done much lately and that includes in the field.

Come on Al...you and I both know the Padres are going to clinch the NL West during a series with the Cubs.

And this organization kinda deserves to get it’s nose rubbed in it a little bit anyway.

As I've told you before, I never repeat myself.

by santoswoodenlegs on Aug 16, 2010 5:05 PM CDT reply actions  

Gosh, I think I just threw up in my mouth a little bit.

That was the single most disheartening Cubs game I’ve ever been to.

The Padres fans were acting as though they’d won the World Series. I remarked “If any Padres fan taunts me, I’m taking a swing at him”, causing my uncle (a Dodgers fan who was supporting the Cubs that night) to talk to me about that.

That game hurt more than the losses to Philadelphia and Houston at Wrigley Field in July.

I didn't believe it last August, but it turns out that love survives.

And yes, I was fighting back tears at the end of it, too.

Well,

You have to remember I had not seen the Cubs lose a game before then, and Padres fans care more about the opposing team losing than their team winning.

Combine that with Stinky Ben deciding to show everyone how much he stunk, and it made for a miserable night at the ballpark.

“might have.”

I wasn’t exactly impressed by Trammell’s lineup cards while Lou was gone. Though admittedly he may not have had freedom to change things up too much. Either assumption would be pure conjecture though.

It's a reference to the San Diego Padres fans.

Being generous, they care more about the opposing team losing than their team winning. I found out last August during the Kevin Gregg meltdown.

Also, Al described the 1984 NLCS to me at Wrigley in July when I sat with him for the Sunday Night Cubs-Phillies game. Exact same story. Padres fans seemed happier the Cubs lost than the Padres won.

At the least, if the Padres make the playoffs, I’ll know who to cheer against.

I highly doubt that

If we beat the Cardinals with a whole bunch of Cardinals fans in the park, I can guarantee it will seem as if we care more about the Cardinals winning that the Cubs losing. When one team is playing out the string, and you have your home park invaded by visiting fans it tends to look that way. I suggest you stop acting like such a baby.

Well, if her though bubble is true....

it would seem that a man requested she shave that beaver (her’s or not) so she didn’t actually do it out of her own desire.

As I've told you before, I never repeat myself.

She meant to get to it...

but with the kids and house work, she could never get to it. Her husband(or maybe someone else) to her to get to it.

If the Cubs still have a chance, no matter how small, it’s still Go Cubs, damn the math and pass the KoolAid.

This is a sad story

You can buy it on Amazon.

They lowered the price to 12.95.

Give me a break

I can’t believe some people’s obsession with the San Diego F-ing Padres. Who gives a crap if they clinch the division w/ the Cubs in the park.

I wholeheartedly care....

because I WANT them to do it.

You're exactly right when you say

It might cause the youngsters to get motivated. At this point, I’m not sure the veterans (aside from Byrd) can provide much motivation.

Are you going to the series in October at Petco?

Never know, might be a chance.

I’m planning on doing at least one, not sure which though.

nope...I'm not spending another single red cent to watch or support the buffoonery that is the Chicago Cubs...

until they get their shit together and stop acting like a AAAA team. Perhaps 2013.

The last weekend of the season you can’t stomach the thought of watching a really good team win a baseball game over a shitty team because of something that happened over 25 years ago. God some Cub fans are just stupid.

The Cubs are eating caviar today.....Fish eggs. Are some of those fertilized?
