Cubs vs Pirates Thread

Arrieta vs. Cole.

I think this one is about a coin flip and should be an amazing game.

I'm thinking Cubs -1 tonight. Haven't they won like 8 straight?

Cubs seem to be the favorite. I saw a stat of cole dominates the cubs. I'm thinking the pirates get em.

The Cubs are the Lions of MLB, they will find a way to lose.

Cubs look great so far. Maybe tearing down the bleachers lifted the curse.

I think he was sitting on the change up. Put it in the river.

Pirates hav no answer for arrieta. Pure domination.

[steveschneider]

[steveschneider]

[steveschneider]

This is a fun game. 

I can't be accused of never losing my temper in stupid situations but Arrieta should have just taken his base.

[steveschneider]

Cubs infield d is spectacular.

[steveschneider]

Another great defensive moment.

[Tim Wakefield]

Go Cubs goooo

[steveschneider]

Fuckin A. It was an epic pitching performance with some amazing infield play. Cubs were definitely the better team tonight.

Greinke or Arrieta for Cy Young? I got Greinke but my Cub friends are insisting that Arrieta win.

Greinke: 19-3 1.66 200K

Think I'm rooting for the Cubs the rest of the way.

I wish I could it looks like a great team, and I like Maddon. I grew up in the 80's and absolutely hate Chicago sports teams. I hated the old Black Hawks squads with Savard, Wilson, Roenick, Belfour. And don't even get me going about the Bulls. My hatred of Chicago sports still lingers, and no way I'm going to jump on the Cubs band wagon. In fact I'm looking forward to the look on their fans faces when they blow it.

That was my first look at the Cubs all year. They are a very exciting team to watch. Their infield d last night made some catches on the hot corner that were just unbelievable. Some screamers that would have been rally starting singles/doubles put in the glove.

Arrieta's outing looked about as dominating as it gets. From what I saw the Cubs had a mediocre bottom of the batting line up. It was the top 2 spots that gave Cole fits. I think the Cards are going to take them. They have a better batting lineup, and a better manager in Matheny.
