I think a car could beat a general if it ran him over.

Great, we're up against an unknown with an ERA in th high 4s. That usually spells trouble for the Cubbies, especially coupled with the lefty factor and the fact that he Cubs have scored 6 runs in their last 4 games with the Disastros. Yikes. But at least we have Trashel back.

I think a car could beat a general if it ran him over.

Ironic, considering Patton died as a result of a car accident.

salukifudd · September 1, 2007

Fred, I think it's time for a road trip.

Fred Hornkohl · September 1, 2007

Fred, I think it's time for a road trip.

OK, I picked up a load this evening for Jackson, MS...... but I don't leave town with it until Monday. Sorry.... that was the best I could do.

Are you heading this way after Jackson?

Balsa · September 1, 2007

I'm gonna be there!

I guess it'll do. :)

i have a feeling this won't start or end well.

Sorry if this is copyrighted, but: WIN YOU BUMS!!!

Alfonso Soriano · September 1, 2007

Win you pathetic losers

soccer10k · September 1, 2007

I probably won't be watching much of this game at all as I'll be going to the UCD football game.

SouthSideRyan · September 1, 2007

ND football, U of I football, and Cubs baseball.

Gonna be a fun 4 hours of sports tomorrow. Hopefully it'll be a fun night of drinking tomorrow night, not a drowning my sorrows in self pity night.

For good luck, here's a picture of our Grand Marquis.

For once I feel positive about this game for some reason. Cubs offense wakes up and we win this sucker 9-3.

Sori and Lee both go yard!

Sammy Sofa · September 1, 2007

I am not confident about this team playing any other NL Central teams except the Brewers and the Cardinals, and that's scary.

Well, they didn't hook me up with anything yesterday before they went home for the weekend...... so at this point I figure they could send me in 4 different directions, and one of those is west. So I'd say it's about a 25% chance I'll be heading through Monroe on Tues.

C.C. · September 1, 2007

I'm off to a B&B for the weekend with the Wife... GO CUBS!!!

Fred Hornkohl · September 1, 2007

There were still a couple of games going on last night when I posted this, so here's the updated wild card race..... just in case you haven't seen it elsewhere.........

Screw this game. I'll be at the Notre Dame/Georgia Tech game.

How the hell are we in first?

tinkerstoeverstochance · September 1, 2007

I know this should be somewhere else but, can we DFA Hank now!

Mizzou · September 1, 2007

That's a terrible idea.

UMFan83 · September 1, 2007

That's a terrible idea.

Agreed. Hank is not a great player, and I understand how much people want Soto in there, but whats the point. We are paying him good money next year anyways. If anything, you should be hoping that the Cubs don't resign Kendall after the season and you have Soto and Blanco as your catchers.
