Fri 5/6 11a: Tyler Anderson (2-0, 2.55) vs. TBD Sat 5/7 11a: Clayton Kershaw (3-0, 2.35) vs. Steele (1-3, 5.50) Sun 5/8 4p: Walker Buehler (3-1, 2.12) vs. Stroman (1-3, 5.13)
The Chicago Cubs are cold. 9-15 on the year and fourth in the NL Central (7.5 games behind the Brewers), the Cubs have not come out of the blocks strong. And speaking of cold: Friday is supposed to rain, and the weekend isn't supposed to get warmer than 60 degrees Fahrenheit.
The Cubs are coming off a two-game series loss to the cross-town White Sox, after being felled Wednesday by a bloop RBI single from former Dodger AJ Pollock. (As an aside, Pollock is batting .190 this season with a 33 OPS+; the Dodgers traded Pollock to the White Sox for Craig Kimbrel, who has a 1.35 ERA over 6.2 IP, and a 300 ERA+.)
The Cubs' leadoff bat of Alfonso Rivas has been their spark this year, matting .333 with a .919 OPS to lead the team. Seiya Suzuki is batting .250 in the two-hole. And 3B Patrick Wisdom has five HR this year (more than any other Dodger player).
But with the recent awakening of some of the Dodgers' bats in our Wednesday 9-1 victory, maybe we can bring the heat into the Windy City this weekend.

Good inning by Kersh
Hey Spank....What are your thoughts on all of the announcers we have this year?
Wow. It pays to listen to the ground rules.
And unfortunately with the mute button on and looking at my twitters on the phone deem plays like that at the end of the second confusing as fuck. Haha

@Saxy....If you are seeing this Spank and I are having some problems with comments disappearing. Does your magic work with this kind of stuff??
We all know how much I love VIN SCULLY. As a girl who was raised on Vinny and have also finally come to love Joe (and of course Orel) I have not been a fan of the merry-go-round of guest announcers. I do love EK, always have. But after EK all the different voices just didn't seem right. Although today I just have to say that I am thoroughly enjoying Dontrelle Willis.
Hanser Alberto takes a 4 pitch walk to tie the game a 1 T2.
Ha, I saw us down 1-0 in the first. And now it’s 4-1 us in the second.
🙂
Dodgers have been given 8 walks in 5.1 innings. 4-2 Blue
Bazooka sits the Cubbies down in 4 pitches in B7. 4-2 LA
@karen 3:42p: yikes. I don’t know! I don’t think google really supports blogger much anymore unfortunately. We Sons have been leaning against opening on Wordpress because we can’t migrate the comments. That said, it makes this site look so dated, like it is gonna give you malware or something 😬
Bazooka gets a K for the third out with a Cub on second.
4-2 LA through 8. Nice two innings from Brusdar!

Giants open up a 13-7 lead on St Louis
Kimbrel having a bit of trouble here. Two on, two out.
Holy cow. Hayward almost homers, but Belli hauls it in at the track.
6-2 final
WIN
Spiderman comes in and shuts this mama down and the Dodgers sweep the doubleheader!!!
Okay let’s go, Dodgers. Push for a series sweep tomorrow!
@Sax 7:22....I am so not a techy girl that I originally tried to email you about the problems but I couldn't figure out to do it. AND no I'm not stupid just kind of dumb okay really dumb about tech stuff. (DUHHH). The last post I made at 7:47 bounced off most of the comments I made prior. I trust you to do what ever you think best. Just let's now lose our little community here!!
That is really annoying about the disappearing comments. I’m sorry about that, Karen. Hopefully it restores. If it keeps being a problem, we can consider a new site.
Game on ESPN Sunday Night Baseball tonight. Let’s goooooooo
And, big win for the Dodgers to sweep.
Slow and steady, just wore the Cubs down.
