Don't make me sick Cubs!

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Just win, bitches.

[kujay]

May have to miss this one on account of the Simpsons movie.

 

Though I somehow think Homer would approve of me having the game on the trusty walkman. :)

 

Kick their teeth in Z!

[soccer10k]

I said before today's game that I can excuse Friday's loss if the Cubs can win the last two and win the series. Don't let me down.

[TysonCBulls423]

Should be a fun one tomorrow. Go Cubs Go!

me too :) tivo baby!!!!

[CyHawk_Cub]

Hey Z: Once again, I remind you-- there's no need for you to go full count 2 out of every 3 batters... It'd be nice to see you pitching into the 8th w/ no more than 100 pitches..

 

Oh, and it would be kinda cool if the offense could step up again as well...

[Brian]

Here's to Z pitching a gem and Gallardo getting bombed

[A New Era]

This is fun. I don't remember the last time we've been 1.5 back. That looks nice. a 0.5 would look even better!

[Butterscup1679666578]

I wanna be in first by this time next week, with a big, new power hitter and perhaps a new pitcher on the team as well. Greedy? Yes, but after 98 years of futility and witnessing 20 years myself, I (we) have all the reason to be greedy. Let's take it to em!

[rabidawg900]

Woot!

 

FINALLY A WGN GAME!!!

 

I WAS SUFFERING CUBS GAME WITHDRAWL

[soccer10k]

I will unfortunately be unable to watch this game as I will be at the Giants game. As much as I hate Bonds, I'm hoping to see history tomorrow.

[killthegoat06]

Win Cubs.

[Rusch33]

Please win.

[Lockes Eye Scar]

what's WGN?

[Yeti]

edit: damn and its an early game, looks like im gonna have to drive a couple towns over so i can get a bloody mary while i watch

Why are Kerry Wood's batting stats on there?

[seanimal]

... or Henry Blanco, Darryl Ward, and Jason Marquis?

 

Let Omar do his thing, he's good at it.

Thanks but, those are actually the right stats. I've been gone a day and just returned last night. I was tired so I held off.

 

Jason Marquis needs to be on there because we never know when Lou might need an extra PHer. The non-25 man people make it... just because.

He just screen caps ESPN.com's matchup page ;)

It's probably the most organized one.

 

Yahoo only has stats since 1987... so it might leave out veteran match-ups.

 

But I might just switch to Baseball Reference... IMHO the most trusted baseball stats site.

I don't really see how one at-bat or guys who are most certainly not going to be in the game are things worth noting. Just my opinion I guess.

Yeah, but the thing is, it's a lot quicker to leave everything in then to try to only selectively choose the ones that matter. It's not that he's taking extra time to include people like Wood, it's that he gets to take less time by leaving Wood on the list.
