9/8 Cubs (Big Z!) @ Pirates (Snell) 6:05 WGN TV/Radio

[Omar]

WGN didnt sell this game to CSN.

 

Surprising.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Bay owns Zambrano.

[Bruno7481]

I'm actually looking more forward to this game then any other this year.

 

Zambrano HAS to have a good performance tonight. Outside of Bay, he has pretty good numbers against the rest of their lineup. This team, if it wants to have any chance of making the playoffs, has to beat these kinds of teams. Get the win tonight and you have the chance to take the series tomorrow. Winning 2 in a row would be huge going into Monday's game against the Cardinals.

Boo Chicago Cubs. HOORAY FOOTBALL!!!

[Sammy Sofa]

I wish I had even a shred of confidence in this team and Zambrano winning tonight. If they do win I will be incredibly surprised. In fact, I'd be shocked if they even won 2 of the remaining 5 games against the Pirates.

The only pitchers I have confidence in is Lilly and Marquis and I can't believe I just typed that...

Win, morons!

[Warren Brusstar]

hmmmmm, Cubs vs. Pirates or PSU vs. Notre Dame.....which to watch, which to watch....

 

that is an unbelievably easy choice.

 

WE ARE

ND!

 

I sincerely hope Jimmy Claussen is decapitated by halftime. I mean that sinclerely. I'm not sure it's possible to have a more easily hate-able Coach/QB duo than Weis/Claussen.

Belichick/Brady?

[Keener98]

*waits for obligatory Murton whining*

 

Yup Floyds stellar sub .750 OPS since the break is definatly starting outfielder quality.

 

Oh and its nice to see that Lou plays the hot hand, but evidently thats for every position but catcher.

Obvious lover of players who are good, dont really care who it is, as long as they give us a better chance at winning then the alternative. Thats what I am
