SERIES NOTES

* The Cubbies are hot, having won 4 in a row (just like the Tigers)

* Freddy Dolsi was recalled from AAA to take the bullpen spot of Ryan Perry, who was sent down to work on his command

* Overall, the Cubs have had a terrible season thus far, and a few of their big hitters are really struggling-- Alfonso Soriano (.224), Geovany Soto (.225), Milton Bradley (.247)

* The Cubs best reliever, Angel Guzman, was just placed on the DL

* Leyland might put Magglio Ordonez back in the lineup, but they're 4-0 since the benching

* Aramis Ramirez is still hurt for Chicago

* Tram comes back to CoPa, he's Piniella's bench coach

* The Cubs just got done sweeping the Indians, but don't read too much into it, since Kerry Wood literally giftwrapped two of those games to his former team

* The last time the Cubs came to CoPa, was in 2001, the year Sammy Sosa hit .368 with 64 HR and 160 RBI

* I'm sure Metro-Detroit's seemingly medium-sized oriental population (http://www.pokemon.com/) will make their way down to Detroit to see Koskue Fukudome, just as they do when Ichiro, Dice-K, and Matsui come to town

Cut Soriano! Cut Bradley! Cut Soto!

"Oriental" was not a surprise, considering the source. Pretty ironic/fitting with the Cubs/Harry Caray connection, though.

Oriental = Vietnam, China, Japan, both Korea's, Taiwan, Hawai'i...

Rugs are oriental, people aren't.

It's a slur. Asian might have been a better choice, but who cares.

lol @ hawaii

I wonder how many Cubs fans there are going to be in the CoPa?

Terrible. Pokemon? Really??

I'm going Thursday. With my wife. And baby. And friend. And his wife. And baby. And friend. And baby. And neice. And friend. And her husband. Should be a blast in 90 degree heat.

Get the terrace seats, best investment you can make.

wtf happened to the Cubs hitters? Oh well, nothing like a series with the Tigers to get those numbers back up.

I have a Tiger's Den pass. I get SRO tix, then in the 4th inning head up and watch the air conditioned game against the glass and drink long islands long after the rest of the park is cut off.

Smart.

I will NEVER go to a day game in the summer again. There is nothing else in this world worse than sitting through a 3 hour game while you are hot and sweaty.

Yah, fuck summer day games. I much prefer night games.

* The Cubs best reliever, Angel Guzman, was just placed on the DL


Really man? Really? Look he's not bad, but there's a few guys I'd rather have on the mound ahead of him.


GO CUBS!!!

And sunburned. I got fried 2 years ago. My fucking knees blistered (no homo).

You guys are going down!

I'm keeping an eye on Crazy Carlos tonight, something tells me he could blow a gasket again.

Marmol has worse control than Rodney.

Kevin Gregg = Todd Jones

Aaron Heilman has always been garbage

and David Patton is a bum

they shouldve kept Wuertz

Yes they should have kept Wuertz, and Eyre.

Don't forget Marshall... he is unspectacular but solid, and gets outs.

Marmol... he is on or off like a switch. When he is on he is unhittable, when he is off the batters themselves are quite hittable. In a crucial situation, I'd still put him on the mound first for at least one batter to see what kind of day he is having. If it's a good day, he will absolutely pitch you out of any situation.

My vote is still out on Gregg. Not much to say about Heilman or Patton.

GAME ON!!!!

Way to work out of a jam for E-Jax!

Curtis with a leadoff double.

Yow, stand up RBI Triple for PP!

86 MPH Changeup for Edwin. I forgive DD for the Willis extension the way this guy's been pitching.

Hopefully we don't lose it for Jackson because of these opportunities we haven't been capitalizing on.

^Probably will.

troo

INGESPIRE!

LOL, Joel's last pitch read 104. yearight

I wish I had a name like Micah Hoffpower

Fuck that.

Dog snot!

Fuckin' A, fuck life.

I blame Gl'enn.

Way to go Joel.

Oh baby

2 run jack

Ah, all better.

RaBURNED!!!

Hard to believe from Rayburn.

That was sweet

No need to cry, UxKa. Just one game.

No need to cry, UxKa. Just one game.

Your mom.

Also...

Marmol: 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 3 K

I stand by my previous statement.

That Cubs fan that was crying after Raburn hit the home run was priceless.

Your mom.



























:jvb:

I blame Gl'enn.

What they gonna say now? WAHT THEY GONNA SAY NOW?

Damn...almost a triple play

I hate this Hoffpauir guy. There's only one Hoff, you son of a bitch...

I like this Jerry Lairry guy.

Now lets see what fagbreath can do.

FUuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu....

3 on, no outs, not looking good.

btw...I really want to use these ; things, but it's been so long since I took an english class I have no idea how to use them; but I'm going to start.

FUuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuukidome....

I H8 N8

From N8 to Miner; not good.

:howdidwegetminer:

did y'all see the thighs on that one chick...cut off shorts...Oh babay

Suck that Lou!

If I told you I was a B.L. fan, I'd be Lyon. hahahahaz

Lyon has actually been pretty good lately.

My cable just went out - you guys need to keep me updated on the game now.

Inge failed.

Rodney is doing his best to blow this

Maybe I should be happy my cable is out. Rodney on GameCast is pissing me off enough...

in just about every other park, that would've been a blown save

pitch was 6 inches high, called a strike to end it.

well, he's been calling that a strike all night......but that was high

oh well.....TIGERS WIN!

^Sweet. I don't care how the Tigers win, as long as they win. (I feel like I've said that at least 15 times this season)

Expect a not-so-good outcome tomorrow; I'll take 2 of 3 though.

I expect a rain issue.

Why do you suck, Armando? Why???

Should be 3-1... fuckmyface

Well that sucks. Throw the red challenge flag!

MAGGS! LOL he looked surprised after he hit it!

That's a bad call, he never had that.

Oh well, DUSTY TIME!

Raburn has been really impressive lately.

Despite the homer, Rodney's changeup looks NASTY right now.

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

10 GAMES OVER!!!

Gotta love a strike out to end the game.

http://wtfdetroit.com/miscpics/tigerssweep.jpg

^Love seeing that picture.

Also Dusty is unstoppable. Did you guys see him steal the base and then slide over the bag purposly because he was bored of being on the bases?

^that's funny

Wil - we're on a roll. You need to make the Houston thread.
