GAME 115 IN-GAME DISCUSSION THREAD [PARACHAT]
ST. LOUIS CARDINALS (73-41) @ CHICAGO CUBS (54-60)
WRIGLEY FIELD, 1:20 pm CDT, TV: Fox Sports Midwest, CSN
So are our arch-rival Cardinals the antidote to this poisonous play that has afflicted our poor Cubbies? I'd say we'll have to wait one more day. Z is due to pitch tomorrow and happened to be on the mound the last 2 times we ended long losing streaks.
Save your energy complaining about the lineup, at this point, you might as well try anything. There's a bunch of rain in the forecast today, so they might not even play this one. If the game is rained out, we can try and lose 2 games tomorrow. Twice the fun!
Also, John Koronka was called back up today and Rich Hill sent back to Iowa. Another interesting choice by the Cubbies. Todd Wellemeyer is actually pitching well, Sergio Mitre is a better pitcher, Glendon Rusch should be in the rotation, but the Cubs choose Koronka, I assume only cause his day in the rotation coincides with Hill's.
If anything I hope for some good baseball this weekend, cause the last week or so has been anything but that. Go Cubs!
