Cubs @ Dodgers: Montgomery vs Norris (Game 127)

Submitted by CTSteve on

The Cubs only need to win one from the Dodgers to have a winning road trip, but we'll settle for all three.CHC (81-45): LHP Mike Montgomery (4-5, 2.41)
LAD (72-56): RHP Bud Norris (6-10, 4.69)   
First pitch: 9:10pmCST

Montgomery, an area native, hit his pitch count after 4.1 innings and had to take a no-decision in Colorado in his first start with the Cubs. He gave up 1 ER (a solo HR to Hundley in the 5th), struck out 5, and walked 2. Reddick, the only Dodger to have faced him, is 1-2.

Norris has had a rough start as a Dodger. He went 3-2 with a 4.34, in July after being acquired from the Braves but got shelled in his last start, giving up 6 ER in 3.2 in Cincinnati. He’s appeared out of the bullpen since then and gave up an ER in less than an inning. The Cubs are 25-104 (.240) against him. Heyward is 3-10 with a HR.

Other notes: Lackey and Rondon are slated to throw bullpen sessions this weekend. And Carlos Ruiz, acquired from the Phillies for clubhouse favorite AJ Ellis, will make his Dodger debut.

The Cubs won 3 of the 4 games against the Dodgers at Wrigley in May-June.

Hammel looks to bounce back from his rocky start against the Rockies tomorrow at 3:05pmCST.

Go Cubs!

It's August 26. Cubs with 14 game lead. And not for #1 draft pick. Words I never thought I would type together.

last year they won 97...and came in 3rd in the division. crazy game on a year-to-year basis. this year it's likely no one else in the division will win 90, though it's technically possible at this point. no matter what, this is a special team, though...very well rounded...and should be mostly intact next year with a bonus schwarber. chapman may not be around, but whatever...rondon and crew are capable even if not on chapman's level.

I figured this was going to be the most meaningless regular season in Cubs history...and it is pretty much on point, although I certainly didn't think we'd have close to a 14 game lead. But, one bad hop in game 1 in October could change absolutely everything we will remember about this year.

If my math is correct, if the Cubs play .500 baseball for the rest of the season, they will finish with 99 wins. I only just confirmed through Baseball Reference that 97 wins last year (and 2008) were the most Cubs wins in my lifetime. I think that last year while Arrieta was pitching better than Cy F. Young I didn't really get or appreciate what he was doing. I'm trying to try to grasp in the moment just how fucking remarkable this season is.

First year I'm not going to a Cubs/Dodgers game in a long time. 4 month old baby kinda changes plans around. But the no-hitter I was at last year can last in the memory banks for awhile. I think Dodger Dogs are awful. I love hot dogs, but those are crap.

think I have to miss this series too (also was at the Arrieta game last year). But in my case, just had a busy weekend with work and kids have a bunch of activities and we made it to Opening Day in Anaheim and a couple of games in Wrigley this year which we normally don't get too...so not feeling like I'm missing out this year.

We may have a chance to catch one in October. Although hell, I couldn't deal with my co-workers if we lose to them.

Seager with the two out double *cough* to left field in the bottom of the fourth. If Soler just plays that bunny hop off his nuts, it's a single - certainly no double.

    Folks, I've known Richard Lovelady since he was an 18 yr old Freshman at East Ga State College in Swainsboro, Ga.

    I was the WBB Coach at EGSC and Richard was their prize recruit from outside of Hinesville, Ga.

    My roommate was the Pitching Coach there.

    Richard showed up a skinny, loose lipped, 83mph Lefty. Pretty good basketball player actually. 

    My roommate became the head coach.

    Richard came back from a minor injury for his Sophmore year a more serious man. He hit 90mph and started mowing GA JUCO hitters down. It was really fun to watch.

    He was the first D1 signee for EGSC baseball (school had only had athletics for five yrs at that point). He went to Kennesaw St and became their closer. One yr later, he hit 100mph and KC drafted him in the 10th Rd. 

    He lost the high velo with a surgery a while back.

    It's so cool to see him in MLB. And now he's a Cub!! It's crazy to realize I actually "know" a Cub.

    He's a legit good guy.

    Easy to root for!!!

    Tim. Thanks for remembering Lee Elia Day. It will always be one of the most epic rants in all sports.  It took about 3 seconds to recognize him from your picture but I  did get it right. 

    Now that Les Grobstein is no longer with us, that might contribute to this grand piece of Cubbery fading.

    Just like fine wine, it should be savored...unedited. 40 years, wow.
