5/1 Cubs (Marshall) vs. Pirates (Santos) 7:05 CSN

[Transmogrified Tiger]

On that note, isn't every Cubs game on WGN radio? Can we stop listing it to confuse people who think it might be on WGN TV?

Yes. Every game is on WGN radio. And I agree we shouldn't put it in the title. Too confusing. I saw the title and was excited that the game was going to be on WGN TV. :x

[Dr. Cub]

This just in.....the Cubs are barely mediocre, and very frustrating to watch at times.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Losing sucks...don't do it again.

[Butterscup1679666578]

Ugh. RUNS PLZ.

[Roast]

Hey heres an idea, Cubs.

 

Lets try not allowing more than 4 runs, and scoring more than 0.

[IWU_CUBS_FAN]

I think it's time for the rook to show the vets how to pitch tomm. get it done sean-john

[BigSlick]

Its common sense when you score 0 runs you dont win

 

I'm just pointing out the fact that our "saviour" pitchers Prior and Wood would not have helped the dismal offensive production we've had the past couple weeks. Scoring 0, 1 and 2 runs will not usually win you a baseball game.

 

When they get off the DL, the calvary have not come. They will not save this season. They will give us the same teasing flashes of brilliance, and moments of disaster.

[soccer10k]

The series against Milwaukee could have been worse. The series could have gone like the Minnesota-Detroit series where Detroit outscored Minnesota 33-1 and swept the series. At least we won a game.

[da bears]

I don't like the Brewers. I wish the Cubs could beat them. Please beat the pathetic Pirates.

[snoodmonger]

I would like to be happy again.

[Marco4]

Let's get some runs!

 

At least 1.

We win the next 2 games! :shock:

Beware Victor "the Vampire" Santos at night in the Spring. He's dangerous. Trust me - I've followed the Brewers for the last few years, and I know his habits.

[swordsman]

I'm going to the game tonight with my sister and her friend and her friend's husband.

 

Let's all hope it stays dry.

 

GO CUBS!!!

[Jake]

If Kerry Wood and Mark Prior were healthyand made 5 starts a piece the cubs could be standing in first place with a 18-5 record.

 

If the queen had balls, she'd be the king.

we are terrible.

No, you're not. Terrible is coming into town tonight.
