5/28 Marlins (Kim) @ Cubs (Marshall) 1:20 CST CSN

[Flames24Rulz]

New day, new series, new hope (mainly because I'm starting this thread). Somehow, the Cubs are only 5 out of the division lead after going a dysmal 2-4 on the west coast swing. With three against the Marlins, the Cubs need to right the ship in the worst way possible. Pitching matchup:

NSBB Day at Wrigley so hopefully our members can bring us a win. Also please try to convince Miguel Cabrera to come to the Cubs. Do the same with D-Train. And mods, if WindyCity starts the thread just lock this thread then.

Somebody from here (read: me) better win one of those Sweet Andre Dawson jerseys.

I guess someone was too anxious to start a game thread to wait any longer.....

Sorry, WC. He asked and I checked to see if you were online, but you hadn't shown up or read my PM at that time. So I gave the go-ahead, not knowing that you would be able to be online tonight, given the holiday weekend.

That was the stagger bus...they're all just drinking away the pain now.

It's a joke that we're only 5 games out of first place. The NL Central sucks.
