5/16 CHC@NYM, 6:10 p.m.: TV: CSN, Radio: WGN

[ryno4ever]

Note the game time says 6:10pm, but the last two nights, they have started a few minutes early, so be sure to tune in before then!

Rich Hill will take the mound Wednesday in Game 3 of the Cubs' four-game series at Shea Stadium against the New York Mets.
In his last start Friday against Philadelphia, Hill retired 11 of the first 13 batters he faced. He needed only six pitches to get through the third inning. But the lefty got into a mess in the fourth when he walked Aaron Rowand to start the inning and hit Chase Utley on an 0-2 pitch to set up Pat Burrell. Burrell belted a three-run homer and later added a two-run shot.

"That was pretty much it right there, just a few pitches got away from me and I put guys on; it was an unfortunate outcome," Hill said after the game. "The first [Burrell homer], I thought was a pretty good pitch. The second one, I just got over the plate.

"This was definitely one of those games you move on from," he said. "It's part of the game. The good thing is you get to play again tomorrow and start all over again."

Hill entered that game ranked second in the National League with a 1.73 ERA, and it zoomed to 2.51. This month, he's 1-1 with a 4.91 ERA in two starts.

Cubs manager Lou Piniella said there is a "50-50 chance" that Derrek Lee, the National League's leading hitter, would rejoin the team Wednesday. Lee has neck spasms and had returned to Chicago to be examined Monday.

Pitching matchup
CHC: LHP Rich Hill (4-2, 2.51 ERA)
Hill was rocked in his last start, giving up five runs over five innings in a 7-2 loss to Philadelphia. Home or away, it doesn't seem to matter to the lefty. On the road this year, Hill is 2-1 with a 2.67 ERA, and he's 2-1 with a 2.29 ERA at Wrigley Field.

NYM: RHP Jorge Sosa (2-0, 2.77 ERA)
Sosa essentially reprised his only other performance this season -- against the D-Backs on May 5 -- in beating the Brewers last Friday. The 30-year-old threw 6 2/3 innings, giving up four hits and three walks while striking out four. Two of his sliders wound up in the seats, but those were the only homers he's given up as El Duque's understudy.

Player to watch
Aramis Ramirez has a career .306 average at Shea Stadium, with five homers and 16 RBIs. He's also struck out 16 times.

[ryno4ever]

It's raining and they expect a long delay.

[ryno4ever]

Pregame show Lou Pinella show:

Lou was impressed by Big Z... good sinker, breaking ball had depth to it, went after the hitters... "vintage power pitcher"...need to build on it and get him on a roll....

Ram's grand slam settled everyone down..."this is what had been lacking here"... kept adding on runs... "if we could just tack on runs, it would make it so much easier for the bullpen to pitch"... EVERYONE started to relax after that. Lou said there shouldn't be pressure "you're still gonna get a paycheck, your wife is still gonna love you, it's not the end of the world if you don't get a hit".... "this should be fun to go out there and compete against a pitcher with men on base"....

We need to have a couple of really nice games with good starting pitcher, timely hitting....

Fontenot.... got his first basehit in a hurry "That little guy just drove the ball... it was quite impressive"... "you like his approach, he hits to all parts of the field"..."he has a nice short swing, it's compact"..."this may be our left handed utility infielder, we are going to need to get back to 12 pitchers, so I don't know what we're going to have to do, but I like this kid"

Same lineup as yesterday with the exception of Hill pitching...he's not going to mess with something that worked.

"We operated on all cylinders last night and came out with a win"

Sorry if this was choppy, I was trying to type it all as he was saying it.

[ARamfan]

Thanks for the update. I just got home and didn't know about the delay. :) Oh well, I'm still trying to recover from all the excitement last night. Hopefully they'll keep the momentum going!

[ryno4ever]

As Corey just said on WGN radio, get the coffee on, we're in for a long one.

[ChinMusic22]

It's a mess here in NYC. The rains coming down like you're taking a shower. I'm still on my way home, but unless it's supposed to clearsoon, I'd be surprised if the game even starts.

We might be looking out a rainout. It'd be nice to play, and feed off of last nights momentum, but I wouldn't hold your breath.

[ryno4ever]

They said on WGN that it they would definately wait it out for a couple of hours...they don't want to have a double header on getaway day.

[ryno4ever]

They are going to re-evaluate the field at 9pm ET (8pm CT)...but it is an absoute downpour right now.

It's looking more and more like a daytime double header.... BUT the Mets don't want to have to eat the tickets sales from tonight...and the Cubs don't wanna play a double header on getaway day.

[ryno4ever]

Interesting topic on WGN radio sports central, Kap is saying Soriano in the 5 spot because he strikes out too much for the number 2 spot, put Floyd in the two hole... the only downfall, is too much right handed power in a row....

[CUBScrazy22]

I don't mind at all staying up late to see Rich Hill pitch tonight. ;) But if it's the same rain we got here in Indiana yesterday, it'll definitely be a double header tomorrow. :(

[ryno4ever]

Hey Lisa, I was just listening to WGN radio... Kaplan was talking to Corey Provice at Shea...and they are tossing an idea that IF they try to get the game in tonight, we may see Neal Cotts go out there in case it gets cut short due to the weather... and then they would save Hill for either tomorrow or the White Sox series this weekend...but that is a BIG IF... as it is still raining very hard in New York.

[CUBScrazy22]

Interesting topic on WGN radio sports central, Kap is saying Soriano in the 5 spot because he strikes out too much for the number 2 spot, put Floyd in the two hole... the only downfall, is too much right handed power in a row....

That is interesting. On Chicago Tribune Live they said he should stay at 1 because he strikes out too much and another guy said that made no sense, which is true. I say try him at 2 a couple games and then move him to 5 and if that doesn't work, keep going down. We could even out him in the 9th spot and move the pitcher up if its Marquis or Zambrano who can hit. I guess we have to wait and see. The weather's turning colder now, I hope they don't go back into their cold weather slumps.

[ARamfan]

I don't mind at all staying up late to see Rich Hill pitch tonight. ;) But if it's the same rain we got here in Indiana yesterday, it'll definitely be a double header tomorrow. :(

I sure hope you don't have to miss seeing your boy pitch tonight. I hope none of us have to. :(

[CUBScrazy22]

That would be cool if that happened to see Hill's ace ptiching showing the south siders who's boss! :D My dad's a sox fan and the bets for this weekend are starting. It's gonna be World War 3 at my house lol. :eek:

[CUBScrazy22]

I sure hope you don't have to miss seeing your boy pitch tonight. I hope none of us have to. :(

Thanks, same here! Unfortunately, I'm very impatient. Are you still pumped though about ARam's grand slam? :D I always thought that was a good sign how ARam and grand slam rhyme lol!

[ARamfan]

Thanks, same here! Unfortunately, I'm very impatient. Are you still pumped though about ARam's grand slam? :D I always thought that was a good sign how ARam and grand slam rhyme lol!

I'm still really pumped! I didn't sleep much last night. I have thought it's a nice coincidence that ARam rhymes with grand slam. A couple of my friends here in Phx call him Grand Slam ARam. And I always say to them, "That's the promise from Aramis!"

[ARamfan]

Did you notice Heather's play on words on last night's game thread? She called it the gRAMd slam! :D

[ryno4ever]

Phillies and Brewers are underway.... so there's hope out east... BUT, with a very wet field, it could get dangerous out there tonight.

[ryno4ever]

Oh, and the Brewers are losing 2-0 in the 2nd inning.

[ryno4ever]

Brewers are down 5-0.

[CUBScrazy22]

I was so bored earlier I was watching Orioles and the Blue Jays game on ESPN.

[Drockvb]

I was so bored earlier I was watching Orioles and the Blue Jays game on ESPN.

Alot of people were forced to watch that one. I guess it's raining in alot of cities right now.

ZZZZZZZZZ

[ryno4ever]

I'm watching "goose eggs across the board" AGAINST the Brewers right now... in the bottom the 4th inning.

Tentative start time 9:15 pm

[CUBScrazy22]

I'm watching the Houston-Giants game, Houston's up 2-1.

[ryno4ever]

Cubs are supposed to start at 9::15 pm

[ARamfan]

Okay, I'm putting on one of my "girlie" Cubs shirts now, to be ready for that 9:15 start! :D

[ryno4ever]

For those of you who have MLB.tv, I suggest turning on the Phillies/Brewers game... Cole Hamels is pitching a "gem" in the 6th...rated "PG" if you know what I mean....

[ryno4ever]

Not to mention, Hamels is 2-2 at the plate and scored on an Aaron Rowand 3 run homer.

[CUBScrazy22]

Okay, I'm putting on one of my "girlie" Cubs shirts now, to be ready for that 9:15 start! :D

I have my Cubs sweatshirt on now. I bet its way too hot in AZ for sweatshirts! :)

[ARamfan]

I have my Cubs sweatshirt on now. I bet its way too hot in AZ for sweatshirts! :)

You'd better believe it! It felt like it was over 100 degrees today. It's already hit 100 a couple of times in the past week. My Cubs t-shirt is short-sleeved and made of very thin material. ;)

[ryno4ever]

OMG....I am still watching the Phils/Brewers game, and Hamels is rated PG in te 7th inning....goose eggs across the board.... AGAINST THE BREWERS! Every pitch, the crowd is acting like it is game 7 of the World Series.... awesome

[ryno4ever]

And Hamels only has around 70 pitches!

[Sheffield_&_Waveland]

Good evening everyone. Looks like it may be a late night party tonight!! :)

[ryno4ever]

Hey there Sheff....

[ARamfan]

Good evening everyone. Looks like it may be a late night party tonight!! :)

Most definitely. Later for you guys than me since we're 2 hours behind you here. Hopefully the weather will cooperate so they can get through the game. Glad you're here. :)

[ryno4ever]

Where's VanMan? I'll try to keep up, but I don't know if I can keep up like he does...

[ARamfan]

I don't know where he is, possibly working tonight. He does do an amazing job. Maybe he'll join us soon.

[ryno4ever]

Hill has a 2-0 count on Delgado. He can't find the strike zone.. Count is 3-0. Right down the middle for a 3-1 count. Tapped foul. Full count. Double play would be nice right now. He walked the bases loaded, however, for the dangerous David Wright.

[ryno4ever]

Turning point in the game..early.... Wright fouls it off....He pops it up to Theriot (drifting back)...and Easley scores. Sac fly for Wright and 2 outs.

[ryno4ever]

Double steal against the Cubs....UGH.... Beltran went to third, and when he took off, Delgado took off for second. Now they are going to intentionally walk LoDuca and go after Green hoping for a force at any base.

[ryno4ever]

Ole Larry is pacing in the dugout as Green comes to the plate.

[ryno4ever]

There's a strike. Hill's cruve is just freezing the batters. Green grounds to Ward and he takes it to the bag himself. Mets get a run

Middle of the 5th
Cubs: still a big fat goose egg

[ryno4ever]

Delgado flies out to left. 1 out

[ryno4ever]

David Wright is at the plate and Hill misses inside. Wright singles to left field.

[ryno4ever]

LoDuca takes a beauty of a curve for a strike. Wright steals second for a perfect 8 for 8 steal attempts. Barrett is 3 for 21 at throwing out basestealers, although he didn't have a chance tonight as the ball was in the dirt, a 68 mph curve in the dirt.

Hill is paying attention to Wright on second. Hills pitch is high and up... 2-2 on LoDuca...and hits it to deep left, caught by Soriano, Wright gets back to second.

Gomez looks at a strike... fouls one off down the Cubs tunnel... popped him up to middle infield, caught by Ward.

[ARamfan]

We did use up a lot of runs last night, but I'm not getting discouraged just yet.

[ryno4ever]

Sosa has a 2-2 count.... hill can't find the strike zone with this pitcher... as he walks him.

[ryno4ever]

I'm trying not to be discouraged, but the offense could get at least more than one hit!

[Sheffield_&_Waveland]

Hill is struggling the offense is gonna have to pick him up!!

[ryno4ever]

It would sure make Hill's job a lot easier...as he has 2 balls on Reyes....ball 3... Reyes takes a strike...drills it foul to run the count full....fouls it off again...fouls off another one....8th pitch is a pop out to Soriano.

[Madden King]

This will probably be Hill's last inning. He's already at 112 pitches.

Could have been double play, but Wright slipped on the wet field. Jones is up. Looks at ball one...big swing and miss...ball high...fouls one off...looks at a ball outside... strikes out swinging. It's getting late. Buckle up, here coems the bullpen.

[ryno4ever]

Green up with one out. ball one. fouls one off...bouncer to Theriot...2 outs. man still at second. gomez up...and drills anotherr ball down teh left field line, 7-0 with this RBI single, all Mets tonight. Jones finally records the third out.

[ryno4ever]

UGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

[ARamfan]

Who will pinch hit for Cotts?

[ryno4ever]

Izturis has the cubs only hit tonight is having a good at bat... but fouls one off his ankle... and draws a walk.

[ryno4ever]

Pagan to pinch hit for Cotts.

[ryno4ever]

Sosa is being pulled from the game. He is getting a huge ovation and pats on the back for one-hitting the Cubs.

[ARamfan]

I'm so tired of listening to these Mets announcers, they're so obnoxious! I'll be so glad to hear Len and Bob. They have so much more class than these idiots. :mad:

[ryno4ever]

Joe Smith is now pitching for the Mets. He throws side armed, and Pagan grounds out, but moves Izzy over to scoring postion...I SAID SCORING POSITION!!!!!

[ryno4ever]

The Riot is up... with a 1-1 count WITH IZZY IN SCORING POSITION...CAN YOU HEAR ME RYAN????? SCORING POSITION...as he takes strike 2... ball outside....check swing on ball 3....grounds out to Reyes as IZZY MOVES TO THIRD BASE.... 90 FEET AWAY!!!!!! AGAIN!!!!

[ryno4ever]

Cliff Floyd is up... Hey Cliff... Izzy is on 3rd...

[ryno4ever]

Cliff has 2-1. fouls one off 2-2. IZZY IS AT THIRD BASE, FLOYD! 90 FEET AWAY!

He pulls one foul....with Izzy on third....and HE GETS A BASE HIT!!! IZZY SCORES! 7-1! YEAYYYYYYYYY!

[ryno4ever]

He heard me! Sent one into right!

[ryno4ever]

Soriano's on base streak is on the line right now (31 games). He has an 0-2 count. Hey Fonzie... move Floyd over to second, AT LEAST!

[ryno4ever]

fouls one off.... Come on Fonzie...long ball...OH NO! HOWRY IS COMING IN FOR THE BOTTOM OF THE 8TH! Soriano strikes out. Go figure.

[ARamfan]

Howry has left a bad taste in my mouth. I don't really want to see this.

[ryno4ever]

Howry vs Reyes.... ummm, yep... Howry loses the battle as he gives up a base hit to Reyes.

[ryno4ever]

Reyes lifted for a pinch runner, as Reyes limped to first. Easley up to bat. Howry loses this battle too and gives us ANOTHER base hit.

[ryno4ever]

Their music is so annoying.

[ryno4ever]

Howry vs. Beltran..... Howry wins with a flyout to left, but Gotie (sp?) gets in to third.

[ryno4ever]

Howry vs. Delgado....RBI fielder's choice as the score is now 8-1 with a force at second base.

[ryno4ever]

wright strikes out... here comes the ninth... put those rally caps on tightly. Wish on a shooting star.... rub your lucky penny...anything to get a rally going here!

[ryno4ever]

Aramis vs Wagner... come on aramis... 1-2 count....with an easy ground out. Up comes Ward.

[ryno4ever]

Ward pops up to short

[ryno4ever]

Well, bottom line... Cubs lost... a lot to a little. The offense was dead. The bullpen is deader. And we're back to being consistently inconsistent. Mets 8 Cubs 1

[ARamfan]

You said it! Time to go to bed. Tomorrow is a whole new ball game. :p
