Chicago Cubs @ Washington Nationals Game Thread 7/4/07


Happy 4th of July Cubs Nation!

TV: WGN
Radio: WGN 720

11:05 Central Start Time


Pitchers:
Rich Hill 5-5 3.4
9 ERA


Rich Hill gave up 5 runs in the first inning of Friday's Cubs/Brewers game but the Cubs bailed him up scoring 6 unanswered runs capped off by the 2 run walk-off homer by Aramis Rameriz to give the Cubs the big victory. Rich started off the season so well but has struggled since. Hopefully he gets his act together today.

Matt Chico 3-5, 4.74 ERA

Matt Chico hasn't done a bad job this year but lack of run support by the Nationals has hurt his winning percentage. His 4.74 ERA isn't very high compared to some past pitchers the Cubs have faced this year. Not one Cub has ever faced Matt Chico so that is why there is no chart below. The fact that Chico is new for our guys could be an advantage for the Nationals.

Prediction:
Cubs 4 Nationals 3

Go Cubs!
