Kevin Freakin' Mench will not add to that nice home run total of his against Rich, I hope.

No but his Plate Discipline will turn into Kevin Youkilis against the Cubs.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

We better win. Not because I'm worried about the Brewers, but the Cards are only two back.

[Sammy Sofa]

Well, Hill is on the mound so the Cubs anemic offense will just continue.

 

Though seriously, I'm glad we have these 3 pitchers going against the Brewers. This series needs to light a fire under everyone's butts.

 

Wow, based on the numbers I hope Pie gets the start in CF with Jacque in RF.

[Alfonso Soriano]

:twisted: :twisted: :twisted: COBS :evil: :evil: :evil:

[TysonCBulls423]

Cubs win en route to a 5 game winning streak :shock:

[Little Slide Rooter]

With the Cards playing th DisAstros, theres a pretty good chance that whoever looses this series will end up in 3rd.

 

All you have to do with the Brewers is keep them down for the first few innings. Everyone knows that they go limp after the 5th.

[Balsa]

Don't worry guys. I'm back.

 

My name is Mr. Opportunity.

[Omar]

Don't worry guys. I'm back.

Why aren't you knocking?

Anything less than winning 2 of 3 is unacceptable.

Im not, 2 lefties against the Brewers? We are screwed. Its bad when I wish Marquis was pitching in this series along with Z since they are righties.

[CubsBears29]

Here's to hoping the lineup will look like this on Tuesday night;

 

Theriot, SS

Soriano, LF

Lee, 1B

ARam, 3B

Floyd, RF

DeRosa, 2B

Jones, CF

Kendall, C

Hill, P

 

Which means it will most likely actually look like so;

 

Soriano, LF

Jones, CF

Lee, 1B

ARam, 3B

Monroe, RF

Theriot, 2B

Kendall, C

Fontenot, SS

Hill, P

Lous already said Soriano leading off and Theiot 2nd.

That definitely makes me nervous.

Fixed.

[CubmanPi]

Rich Hill has already done such great work against the Brewers at Wrigley this year. I don't see any reason for concern over this game.

[CubinNY]

[Russian accent]We must burry them. [/Russian accent]

Sarcasm?

 

Remember how the Ramirez walkoff game started? Hill was horrible.

No kidding. Look out for Braun.
