You were wrong about Barrett being the POG yesterday but oh well we got a win.
Lets win the series!

My prediction, Cubs 7, Reds 5 as Griffey gets injured.
Marquis with a surprisingly good outing.

ALL Cubs games should be on the original home, WGN!!! White sox games go on CSN.

Honestly what bothers me the most about the Sox games being on WGN is the instances during interleague play when the Sox get their home announcers for a Cubs vs. Sox game. There is something awful about the announcers being anti-Cub when watching a game on WGN. I die a little inside each time.

I don't mean this to be anti-Sock... they can have their announcers on SportsChannel. The way it should be.

I mute it and put Pat and Ron over the TV. However, the radio is about three seconds ahead, so I know what will happen.

Unfortunately, it's not on WGN. The Sox are on WGN. Means another game of Gameday for me.

My prediction:

Cubs 8
Reds 6

Think this one will be a bit more high scoring. I was suprised that today's game was so low scoring because both Lilly and Arroyo are fly ball pitchers. With Marquis and Lohse pitching, it could be a battle of who just sucks less. Cubs get their first homers of the year from Soriano, Barrett, and DeRosa.

My bad guys! As said earlier this game is on Comcast not WGN. Sorry for the confusion!

DeRosa coming through in the clutch last night, Aramis one of the beneficiaries. :rocking:

35 degrees, 20mph winds.

Beautiful afternoon for baseball. :lol:

They cancelled the Tigers game here because of the weather, we're at 25 degrees with 20mph winds and snow.

I love spring. :-?

DeRosa with a solo homer!

Cubs 1-0

Jo Jo English · Post #13 » by **Jo Jo English** » Thu Apr 5, 2007 4:57 pm

Alright, lets see Soriano get on track here.

2poor · Post #14 » by **2poor** » Thu Apr 5, 2007 4:59 pm

At least he didn't strike out.

He needs to relax more and stop trying to pull everything.

Flames24Rulz · Post #15 » by **Flames24Rulz** » Thu Apr 5, 2007 5:00 pm

Hey, I said DeRosa would homer today!

Solid start. Let's hope Marquis has a good outing on the mound.

2poor · Post #16 » by **2poor** » Thu Apr 5, 2007 5:07 pm

So far so good for Marquis through 2.

Flames24Rulz · Post #17 » by **Flames24Rulz** » Thu Apr 5, 2007 5:07 pm

Marquis with a 1-2-3 2nd inning.

2poor · Post #18 » by **2poor** » Thu Apr 5, 2007 5:07 pm

I won.

Promising opening series for Aramis already, just picked up his 5th hit.
