Game 1: Lester(4-0, 2.27 ERA) VS Morrow(0-2, 5.27 ERA)

Game 2: Buchholz(5-0, 1.19 ERA) VS Buehrle(1-1, 6.35 ERA)

Game 3: Dempster(1-2, 3.30 ERA) VS Happ(2-1, 3.86 ERA)

Real simple, lets see if it brings luck.

Being realistic, we lose this series 2-1 or get swept.

Is this the series that we have no business being in, and were gonna go out and dominate in what should be a sweep, but turns into a 2 outta 3 when our normally reliable closer blows a save... Or is it just more of the same?

I've said that we'll turn things around in May, like the Marlins last year. I said we'd bottom out in the end of April but start turning things around by the Seattle series. Well, here we are at rock bottom. We've constantly been losing tight games. That was a miserable road trip. We're facing the hottest team in baseball. All signs point to us getting swept. But here is where we turn things around. We're about to take 2 out of 3, then sweep Seattle, and optimism will return.

The power of positive thinking!

Its really depressing to think that we could have 20 losses before having 10 wins.

I really can't see us sweeping this series. I don't think things just click that easily. We'll lose 2 of 3.

With the way we've been playing I actually think we get swept here. We have a decent shot to rough up Dempster though.

Lester and Buchholz are due for a bad outing. I am really hoping for 2 out of 3.

would be sweet if they could crack open the dome sometime during this homestand. steady 18c weather for the next week. also would be sweet if we could win a damn series.

I'd take winning a game at this point.

You know this season is messed up when no one posts about sticking it to Farrell. That's the last thing on everyone's mind right now.

We didn't lose tonight. A step in the right direction.
