6/4 CUBS (Marquis) @ Brewers (Bush) 7:05 CSN

[Derwood]

The Cubs are going to win or lose based on how they play. Not if I make a thread or not.

 

ha ha ha ha, yeah right

[Ding Dong Johnson]

SWEEEEEEEEEP!

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Can the good Jason Marquis come back, plz?

A sweep puts us 4.5 games back!

 

[/pointless optimism]

 

 

A sweep would make them only 3 games back in the loss column.

[C.C.]

If Trammell is the manger we sweep. If Lou is the manager we get swept!

Cubs just do what Ron Santo said after the stretch "Let's get some Wins".

Prince Fielder is probably practicing his home run trot for this series.

I don't care how many homers he hits as long as the Cubs win the games.

sounds good to me...

[A New Era]

I want to see 8 wins followed by 8 losses. I'm prepared for that.

Fielder is on my HR Derby team, so he can hit 14 HR in the series as long as we win all the games

It is going to be fun to watch us get swept without facing Capuano or Sheets.

We'll win 1.

I hope you're right, but I wouldn't bet on it.

We'll take 2/3. Our hitter love to hit in Miller Park.

Cubs sweep this series then lose their next 7 afterwards.

Sounds like about par for the course.

Since Lou said

 

"This is no extended trial," Cubs manager Lou Piniella said. "We brought him up here to play. He's going to play."

 

I expect Pie to be in the line-up today. Hitting 2nd, 8th, doesn't matter. Just in the line-up.

I just wonder who goes when Ward comes back. I'm hoping that Jones does but we'll see.

This quite probably is foolish optimism on my part but, I believe a 1-4 of Soriano, Pie, Lee and Ramirez is going to start clicking. Such a 1-4 just seems like the right combination.

If they are truly sticking with Pie longterm, then I think you are right, somebody will be gone within 15 days - when Ward returns.
