Super Sunday Special is an apt description. But watch...we'll light 'em up. I'm gonna say 10-2 win.

Re: 8/8- Reds @ Cubs, "The Super Sunday Special" "Going for the sweep"
 

Atleast the lineup is full of "pop".

If they can get some good swings in they'll be able to do some damage... Wonders how the wind is blowing today....

With Cincy up 2-0 in the series I could see this one from a mile away. No scientific evidence, but they seem to lighten up on the opposition when it the series is in the bag.

In actuality it is just Rolen and BP off, with BP needing a break after getting banged up yesterday. Would have thought Stubbs would get in there also.

Really, Rolen is the only one with a day off. PHillips is nursing an injury, Heisey is now the everyday CF.

Thought Dusty may have rewarded Stubbs stellar day yesterday with some burn today. Heisey in LF and Stubbs in CF would be my only adjustment. Looking for Cisco to have a big day, all this kid does is hit.

Still rainin pretty decent here.

Re: 8/8- Reds @ Cubs, "The Super Sunday Special" "Going for the sweep"
 

I'm 60 miles west and it's still raining here. I think it's going to be awhile.

Re: 8/8- Reds @ Cubs, "The Super Sunday Special" "Going for the sweep"
 

Nix should be in there today....no ifs, ands, or buts about it.

Re: 8/8- Reds @ Cubs, "The Super Sunday Special" "Going for the sweep"
 

Just got a tweet of a 2:30 start time. Only a 10 minute delay if that comes to pass.

Re: 8/8- Reds @ Cubs, "The Super Sunday Special" "Going for the sweep"
 

Taking the tarp off. I've got a good feeling. In spite of the lineup, the Reds will roll and go home to meet the Cards on a high.

Re: 8/8- Reds @ Cubs, "The Super Sunday Special" "Going for the sweep"
 

Why is Thom saying Nix is in the lineup??

He read my post. Again.

Re: 8/8- Reds @ Cubs, "The Super Sunday Special" "Going for the sweep"
 

They just announced that the game will start at 130 Central Time here at Wrigley.

Since 2:30 est is 1:30 cst, it appears we are in accord.
