Cubs Opening Day 2013
The Internet ate my homework...let's try that again.
vs. AJ Burnett 2012: 3.51 ERA/3.52 FIP | vs. Jeff Samardzija 2012: 3.81 ERA/3.55 FIP
Game 2 Thread - Garza vs. GioWord is that the wind is blowing out briskly to left, so Sveum has loaded up on the righties to battle southpaw Gio Gonzalez in his NL debut.
Cubs 2012 Opening Game ThreadHere it is, Opening Day 2012, where optimism reigns...until you see Jeff Baker starting at 1B.
Opening Day 2011 - Pirates @ CubsIt's Christmas time for baseball fans and Santa's delivered the lowly Pirates to the Cubs. Of course, the Cubs went 5-10 against one of the worse teams I've ever seen play baseball last year, so the Cubs have that going for them. Don't forget to join the fun during our in-game chat. Folks come and go throughout the game so if you hang around for awhile, someone is usually sure to pop in.
Undoubtedly Correia is going to throw a shutout today, but generally you have to laugh at a team employing a guy for Opening Day with a career 4.57 ERA and a 4.91 ERA over the last three years, the last two being in Petco Park. My division predictions after the jump...
Game Preview: Cubs (48-67) @ Cardinals (64-49)Derrek Lee is back, Hoffpauir gets sent back down...okay, why not? With Soto on the DL, Aramis still out, Colvin in the penalty box and Soriano incapable of moving spots in the batting order without the Earth's magnetic fields being reversed, we get to witness the following lineup featuring Blake DeWitt batting 5th. Fukudome, Castro, Lee, Byrd, DeWitt, Soriano, Barney, Hill, Diamond vs. F. Lopez, J. Jay, Pujols, Holliday, Rasmus, Molina, Schumaker, Westbrook, Ryan Game Preview: The Hapless Cubs vs. The Surging GiantsThe things you miss not caring about this team... Game Preview: Cardinals (54-44) @ Cubs (45-53)The last post is getting a little long in the tooth and a little bitchy, so let's move on to happier things like Andre Dawson's Hall of Fame induction today and the Cubs on the brink of a three game sweep over the Cardinals.
Game Preview: Cubs (37-47) @ Diamondbacks (32-52)The Cubs go for 3 in a row. 3 WINS in a row!!!! It's the start of something big, like starting to trade players away. Game Preview: Pirates (26-50) vs. Cubs (33-43)First, the lineups... Tabata, LaRoche, McCutchen, Jones, Milledge, Alvarez, Doumit, Cedeno, Karstens vs. Fukudome, Theriot, Lee, Ramirez, Colvin, Soriano, Hill, Castro, Lilly. Now, the news... |

Open 40 man spot might see the return of CJ. He’s been okay in Iowa. Teheran has been rocked in his starts this year. SSS of course.
Wouldn’t be shocked seeing another 40 man spot open with Brewer losing his spot.

Word is that Counsell thought Mervis and Wisdom got too much work in yesterday so it will be Wesneski.

On top of all that…Wicks scratched for Sunday due to “forearm soreness.” Bullpen day again starting with Mervis or Wisdom (or Wesn).

"Morel told reporters after the game that he felt alright, just a little banged up — specifically noting his right hip and both elbows. He did say that he was optimistic about his ability to play on Sunday, though manager Craig Counsell may have other plans."

rsox putting pablo reyes up to pitch...an infielder...cranking 70+mph stuff.
...and of course he gets out of it with no runs scored...that kind of day for the cubs.

...and wisdom replaces mervis on the mound to try to get the last out.
busch is at 3rd, but i wouldn't read too much into that.
wisdom's thrown a couple in the 80s (one of them 88mph), but both missed the strike zone badly.

matt mervis is no david ross on the mound.
cubs run differential getting destroyed.

matt mervis pitching...wisdom replaces morel at 3rd.
he's featuring some high-50s thunder on the fastball.
through 15 pitches, he's straight up throwing BP...all mid-high 50s lobs. no way he's going to jose canseco himself out of a job.
on pitch 21 he railed a 75mph fastball missing high on a 0-1 count. ha.

he's hugging canario in the dugout cuz morel will shrivel up and die if he doesn't hug at least a dozen people a day.
