7/19 Giants (Morris) @ Chicago (Lilly), 1:20 pm. CSN/WGN 720

[Shilzzz]

Fontenot singles home Pagan!

 

Geaux Cubs!

 

9-5!

 

if fontenot can get as hot as he was, this team will look tough to beat.

 

the problem being that milwaukee looks pretty tough to beat as well.

 

well, there's always the wild card.

I want to see them go back on the road where they're like 7 games below .500.

[Shilzzz]

if anyone could keep up the pbp, it would be appreciated. :)

Cubs are at an NL average of 73% success in SB. Does it seem like they've been better than that to anyone else?

 

probably has something to do with them getting picked off a million times

[YearofDaCubs]

All of a sudden Jones playing well.

[BeerHere]

Jones is on fire

[inari]

JJ's really looking good right now.

 

How about your first hit and RBI as a Cub, Jason?

[E.J.]

Jones with a basehit off a lefty. :shock:

 

He has 3 hits on the day.

[FergieJ31]

I think at this point if the Brewers were playing Atl or SD this weekend instead of SF, I'd almost be rooting for the Brewers.

Who cares? We can't do anything about them. We'll win the WC if we play like we have been.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

If Jacque keeps hitting, he may be an acceptable option for CF the rest of the way.

[Elrhino]

Looking at these two lineups and with the wind blowing straight in, how many would have bet the over on 13 runs scored today?

it seems like they never play on the road.

Ya, Fontenot looked like a 2 foot 3 inch superman at the plate when he was hot

Why? The Cubs are only 3.5 back of the Brewers.

Well, if we continue winning 5 of every 6 we'll certainly win the division as well. That'd be quite an insane pace.

Yes, I agree.

that's what i generally say as well, but it would be helpful if they started losing.

A pickoff isn't always a caught stealing.

[Magnetic Curses]

Yes, I agree.

 

jacque from last year would look mighty good as we near september.

[Prior4CyYoung]

If Jacque keeps hitting, he may be an acceptable option for CF the rest of the way.

 

Even if he does start hitting well I think we still need another outfielder.

[Soul]

Time for Wuertz to tighten it up.

[bukie]

Hopefully the Cubs can get through this inning without seeing Bonds again.

Right. I'm not just saying the Brewers aren't catchable, but they might be less catchable than the WC teams ahead of us.

[E.J.]

The guy who caught Barry's homerun ball was already offered $5000, but turned it down. :shock:
