Cubs have 4-5 pretty decent bats.
I predict an ugly night for Travis Wood. Just saw him last Saturday, and will likely not pitch his best game of the year tonight. And, we might need it with Arroyo on the hill.

You were definitely correct about that...Originally Posted by traderumor

In honor of Elvis night, "thank you, thank you very much."
I was getting nervous about that prediction after 3 though.

The Cubs are just a bad MLB team, as opposed to the Astros,who would be relegated to the PCL if baseball operated in the same way as the English Premier League.
Eric Stratton, Rush Chairman. Damn glad to meet ya.
Well to be the contrarian, Travis did pretty well for four innings. I expect anohter dogfight with Bronson on the mound. If we get good Bronson, we're good. If not, just like last night, we struggle. Hope for the best.

My prediction is based on the fact he pitched well last week. It is very common to get lit up second time through when you face a team back to back. Same could go for Arroyo too, but he wasn't pitching as well as Wood was last time.
Just throwing it out there for those considering who to put their sawbuck on tonight.

Good to see Scotty back in the line up.
The game is on WGN tonight.
That's about as good a lineup and order as you can make with Votto on the shelf. Heck, even acknowledging Frazier in front of Rolen. Kudos Dusty.
I'm at the park for the gaame tonight so I might pop in occasionally.
Have a good game thread tonight guys!
Phil Castellini puts the FUN in Trust Fund.
So it's set, Redmond will start the second game of the DH. Fay posted a small article about this. This one line just caught my eye. I love this.
That's totally got a little kid feel to it. "I'm actually in a big league clubhouse. Nobody's gonna believe me. Hey! Can I be in the picture too?!?" :O)Redmond was in the clubhouse Friday, which happened to be team picture day.
“He asked me if it was all right to be in the picture,” Reds manager Dusty Baker said. “I said, ‘Yeah, you’re on the team.’ You’re just not going to stay very long.”

It's not like the Reds haven't seen Travis Wood enough.
Oh dear god, a George Grande and Jeff Brantley announce duo.
“I don’t care,” Votto said of passing his friend and former teammate. “He’s in the past. Bye-bye, Jay.”
