Let's avoid the sweep!

I heard this one has a low probability of getting in because of rain/snow, but hopefully it does.

If not, both teams have Thursday off, so I'd assume the game would be made up then.

On second thought let's play this game. Rich Hill on the mound we should get a W.

Just so all you know there is snow on the ground in Chicago

and a lot of it I might add

That doesn't bode well for Ann Arbor, we'll be getting the same crap in a few hours I think.

:-?

Game is officially postponed. Rumored date for it to be rescheduled is July 12th.

And right on cue it just started snowing here. :-?

I guess starting Friday the weather is supposed to stop sucking again, but who knows.

Why aren't we just playing tomorrow? Do the Astros have a game tomorrow?

2poor · Post #11 » by **2poor** » Wed Apr 11, 2007 8:42 pm

Who knows, for my money I'd rather they push as many games back as possible.

Warmer the better.

Yeah I know. It sucks will skip over Hill in the rotation now though.

You think so? I don't see why it doesn't mean he just gets an extra day's rest.

The game ended before it started, so its not like he did anything that would prevent his arm from being ready tomorrow.

Hill was suppose to pitch today but on Cubs.com it says Zambrano is probable for Friday so I think we are skipping over him.

Wow, that's lame. I want more Hill in my life damnit.

I suppose its possible they haven't updated it yet because of the postponement, but at this point I wouldn't mind seeing Big Z out there because he still has some early season adrenaline he needs to shake.

Zambrano will get the start on Friday. Piniella is trying to keep him on 4 days rest as much as possible. Hill will be moved to Saturday and everyone else back down a day.

Well then, Big Z it is.

SportsWorld · Post #19 » by **SportsWorld** » Wed Apr 11, 2007 10:52 pm

That sounds like a good plan. We get Zambrano and Hill back-to-back. Watch out Reds!

We will play a day night double header on July 12.
