6/6 Cubs (Wood) at Astros (Magic Wandy) 7 pm WGN

[Andy]

It's 3 in the morning (CT) and no game thread, so I'm putting one up.

 

Here's hoping Woody pulls a Z. And maybe we won't have to wait 7 games for his next start after this one either. But that might be pushing it.

 

Oh, and don't forget, THE OHMAN, starring superstar Cubs reliever Will Ohman, hits theaters today, on 6/6/06. Scary huh?

Blast, I was just about to pull a spot start.

 

Here's to another Cubs win and a good outing for Woody.

[Brian]

Cubs will win.

 

Murton, Nevin and maybe Wood go deep.

[Derwood]

WGN, eh? Guaranteed loss?

[Flames24Rulz]

Time to get another W.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Cubs win, 5-1

I'd lay money you just ruined the newest Dugout.

 

Wood's on an upswing...the man's pitching for his supper and the offense is on fure! LET'S GO CUBS!!!

[gerby23]

Last year in Houston, in a game thread, I predicted Murton's first HR, (albeit to the wrong field) so I will take this opportunity to say that Murton will go deep this series.

[Balsa]

Baby steps Cubs, baby steps.

 

Let's win this one today.

[Big Fergie J]

Like I said ystdy I like the match-ups in this series.

 

Go WOOD ! Don't know how Kerry will pitch but I'd lay good money he goes yard.

 

Go CUBS !!

[BigSlick]

WGN, eh? Guaranteed loss?

 

Fred? Wheres our stats on WGN?

[C.C.]

I have the same feeling Murton goes yard tonight as does Jones.

[BRASKYS SCOTCH]

I have the same feeling Murton goes yard tonight as does Jones.

 

 

How do you all know this? Have you been to the future ... like this guy?
