7/2 CUBS (Lilly) vs Nationals (Simontacchi), 6:05pm CT, CSN

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Ending the first half of the season with another 7 game win streak sounds like a good idea to me. Do it to it, Cubs!

 

Why not 8 games?

 

Even better!

Winning 15 out of 16 going into the break would be amazing.

[cubscausestress]

the roller coaster ride heads back downhill tomorrow, kids. hang on!

[Andy]

There's no reason we shouldn't shred Simontacchi.

 

So we'll lose.

[killthegoat06]

Come on cubs. Make it happen.

[cuubs4life]

bold prediction- Cubs win 5-3.

[Alfonso Soriano]

Please don't suck Cubs.

[killthegoat06]

Let's make it 9 of 10!

Chicago Cubs Vs. Jason Simontacchi

The most significant is Ramirez. Looks like he faced him quite a bit with the Pirates. Hank White with a triple. :lol:

 

Chicago Cubs Vs. Ted Lilly

No one to really worry about so far. Lopez is 2/5 with both being homers.

 

Match-ups on our side, again. Lets get another win!!

Some rumors: Cubs may push up Z in order to get him into the AS game break in line to pitch in the game...

 

2: Possible naming rights for the new Nats stadium: Qatar Airlines, Smithfield Foods.

You've got that backwards. The Cubs are better when Fred is on the road i.e. you want him to leave.

Cubs really shouldn't lose this game. Please don't suck. I'm going to catch the Giants' high A-level affiliate tomorrow evening, so I'll onnly be able to catch one or two of the middle innings tomorrow on mlb radio.

 

Cubs outdueled the Brewers head to head, now let's see them pick up another game or two playing the same 7 games against some bottom feeders.

I've never seen a game at RFK stadium on TV. In 2005, I was on vacation and in 2006, the same deal.

[seanimal]

I don't know what's going to happen with this game.

 

What I do know, is that the "Nationals" have the worst team name in the majors. Shoulda gone with the "Grays" or "Senators".

Aramis owned RFK last year with 3 HRs in the series (2 in the game I attended).

The centerfield camera view will jar you a bit, unfortunately. It's positioned lower and more in dead-center than most parks, so you won't see the break of the balls as much and the pitcher almost obstructs the hitter. Not that it matters, since it's physically impossible to hit a HR in that massive park. Still, anything's better than actually being in the park, which must easily be the worst gameday experience in all of sports.

 

I live in the DC area and today will be my first Cubs' game this season- always try to catch 'em when they're here in DC. I'll be there tonight, tomorrow and Thursday (no 4th for me, the city is a zoo on the 4th) and better see at least 2 wins (if not 3).

 

Do it, jerks.

[cubweiser03]

4 game series seem really hard to do any better than splits. Gotta get 3 out of 4 and avoid a let down after piling on some wins of late.

[RyCubsFan]

Will be there all fours games this series! yay! Cubs have lost the last two series here in Washington. They should fare better this year.

 

Soriano should have a big series.

Agree- he's obviously shown he can hit in that park. I'm curious to hear what the crowd reaction will be when his name is announced. I doubt he'll receive any serious boos; for one he was only there for a year, two everyone knows Bowden wasn't even in the ballpark as far as what he command with his next contract, and three the Nats don't have real baseball fans who were actually paying attention during all this (or would who even give a crap).
