Friday- Suppan vs Zambrano
Saturday- Looper vs Harden
Sunday- Burns vs Lilly
There will be no Gallardo vs Cubs and we miss Randy Wells. I cross my fingers for a split. Probably will lose 3 of 4. A solid chance to be swept. Yikes!

I will be at the Zambrano/Suppan match up. I'm sure it will suck. Suppan has already made my life miserable in front of Cubs fans once this year.
In truth though, you never know what you'll get when these teams get together. It's never as easy as it should be for either team (excluding last July). |

The Cubs pitching hasn't pitched to ability this season, so as long as our bats aren't made of ice, the pitching matchups don't have to be a death
sentence.

Maybe we will make a trade by then for a starter? Or maybe they move Gallardo up? I'm glad I am going to the Timber Rattlers game on Friday the 3rd,
won't have to watch what could be a miserable game in Suppan vs Zambrano.

It's not like the Cubs have been awesome this year.

The Cubs' pitching has actually been decent so far this season if you look at the starters - their bullpen isn't close to being as good as it was last
season...their offense has been in hibernation for the better part of the last month, with the exception being against a woefully bad Indian pitching staff.
Getting the cubs for 4 games at wrigley before Aramis Ramirez is back playing for them every day at 3rd, with Reed Johnson likely on the DL forcing Fukudome to play, and with the rest of their offense scuffling is a blessing - remember last July when all Brewer fans were stoked about Sabathia and Sheets kicking off the big 4 gamer at Miller Park last year? Pitching matchups often don't mean much with these teams. I for one hope all four games are in the 80's with the wind blowing out at about 30 mph.

Yeah, there is a reason we still play the games and don't rely on the paper matchups. Our pitching to swing back to the positive side again by then. Or
having Gamel/Hart/Hardy heat up, we could blow them out.
Breweres seem to hit Zambrano pretty well also.

I really hope that today was the only start we see from Burns.
Unfortunately, I think I am going to be disappointed. That isn't to say I wouldn't mind him out in the bullpen though.

This will be a huge series. The NL Central has no clear cut leader, and nobody seems to have any interest in winning it. Cubs/Cards/Brewers games will all be
important.

Until the Brewers give us a Burger Run again, I don't know that any of the matchups matter that much.

There are so many things that can happen from now until then. I find this funny.

Wrigley is the one place I really have no reservations in sitting out there (I've gotten tickets in back of home, only to find a pole in front of my face). I love getting there early and getting first row seats. i was there when that Brewer fan caught that Prince homer and wouldn't throw it back. People pelted my brother and I with hot dog wrappers while chanting "Jeffery Dahmer." We had the audacity to be Brewer fans. Anyway, we won.

If you're comparing ERA matchups the difference isn't that great. Of course that probably mean you can't trust ERA, especially when McClung has yet
to start a game and Burns has only started one.

Yes, a great win tonight, and if the Brewers can keep up playing like that have been in the past few games, you have to feel good about matching up with the
scufflin' Cubbies right now.

2 of 4 is what I would want, hope, and maybe even expect.
