Re: 8/18 Game 1 Cubs at Reds
"Hidey ho, neighbor. Think we'll be on the smiling side of the scoreboard today? I hope the Beaumont Bomber does it again. But boy, those Cubs sure will try their gosh darn hardest to make it really tough for the Reds, you can bet on that. Not that I want you to bet on baseball or anything. There's just no quit in those guys."

Re: 8/18 Game 1 Cubs at Reds
Fresh off the presses:
Cozart Heisey CF Phillips Bruce Frazier 3B Paul LF Cairo 1B Hanigan Cueto Boy am I sick of seeing Miguel Cairo playing first. He must have the intangibles of Mother Theresa, because I think she outhits him. |

Re: 8/18 Game 1 Cubs at Reds
Not going to this game but tonight for the Redmond special. Based on this lineup I'm looking at Rolen (3rd) and Frazier (1st) tonight?

Re: 8/18 Game 1 Cubs at Reds
Yes. From what I saw they'll be on the whole night. (Probably with a break between games)

Re: 8/18 Game 1 Cubs at Reds
Righty pitches for the Cubs in the day game, lefty in the night game. That's why Stubbs plays the night game (Heisey in) and that's why XMan plays the day game.
Rolen sits because day game after night game, I guess, although that same night/day situation happens tomorrow again. With Cueto's ground ball tendencies, Scott arguably should have played game 1. Guessing night game will be Mesoraco, Frazier (1B), Phillips, Valdez (SS), Rolen, Ludwick, Stubbs, Bruce. |

HBP leads off game on 0-2 pitch.
Vitters hitting second flies to Paul. DeJesus holds at first. |

Looks like WGN is carrying it, at least here in MD.

Re: 8/18 Game 1 Cubs at Reds
Would you rather have your A squad with your A pitcher and lock down one game, or split them and make it a little harder in both games?

Re: 8/18 Game 1 Cubs at Reds
I thought Cueto picked him off.
