Go CUBS !!

[Drew Doughty]

Marquis equals Marshall's start, Cubs clinch a series win...sammy hits 600!

[Brian]

Sammy gets 600 off the guy that dared wear 21 for the Cubs?

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Sean Gallagher will get action in this game. Sammy hits 600.

[RonnieWooWooSanto]

Soriano and Pie hit back to back homers at some point during this game.

[bhogg]

This will be my son, Ryne's, first Cub game --- we're heading out now.

 

Maybe he'll be their lucky charm!

[C.C.]

C'mon Cubs! Take the Series tonight!!!!

 

 

Cubs lose this game 8-3

[UMFan83]

A win tonight will clinch at least a .500 record against the big and bad AL this year.

[otis89]

Win again, bums.

[swordsman]

All hail King Fred, Ruler of the Game Thread Starters!

 

LONG LIVE THE KING!!!

[Lockes Eye Scar]

another starter with a +6 ERA... plz score

[Soriano12]

I'll take the good Marquis for 300 tonight please.

[TruffleShuffle]

sammy hits 600, cubs lose 10-4

[UMFan83]

Koyie Hill gets the start and hits 3 HRs, Cubs win 11-3

[Fred Hornkohl]

Koyie Hill gets the start and hits 3 HRs, Cubs win 11-3

Eh? Is that the best we can get?

[rabidawg900]

I'm so close to the game, yet so far.

 

I'd have to leave work early (which I can't afford to do). Drive 4 hours through rush hour and get to Rangers Ballpark in Arlington. And I have to deal with the bug exterminator when I get home. Ugh. :evil:

 

Oh well at least i get it on tv Fox Sports Southwest. And WGN but I'd rather listen to the bozo announcers of other teams than good 'ol bob & len.

 

Houston is a little closer. August 6-8 i get to see the Cubbies.

I doubt Bowen will start, even if he does get to the park in time I doubt they throw him out there right away.

[Sammy Sofa]

I predict Marquis will continue his inevitable decline.

Why not? Might as well get him acclimated to suckage as soon as possible.

DeRosa can play SS, even if Lou refuses to put him there... but yeah, that's probably the best we can expect to get... and considering we have a DH, that's real sad.
