[Drew Doughty]

HEY HEY HEY.....IT'S MAAAATTT ALBERS!!!!

 

(Sorry, I always wanted to say that)

 

i laughed.

[Schwarber Fan]

Soto and Murton tonight please

[CubmanPi]

I'm giving blood before the game tonight, just so it takes that much less time to get drunk while trying to put up with this pathetic team.

Great idea your saving more than one life then.

[hardcorecubfan]

This is great, thik about it , last yeatr at this time we were actually working at our jobs or around the house not caring about our Cubs who were floundering in whatever place. This is a better feeling then the feeling I had last year at the same time.

 

I will admit though i was wrong about the whole wild card thing, makes things interesting.

[swordsman]

So folks, I think I need to step up and clair responsibility for last night. I listened to the game until I had to put the kids to bed. At that time they were cruising up 4-1 I think. When I come back they are tied 4-4. I listened until I had to let the dog out. In the 2-3 mins it took me to let the dog out, they lost. CLEARLY, last night the mojo was in my hands and I fumbled it. Sorry about that.

 

On to tonight. Go Cubs!

Don't let it happen again! What's more important Cubs wins or your kids and dog? Get you priorities straight man!

Hill goes 7 strong, Wuertz pitches a scoreless 8th, Wood comes on in the 9th and gets the save. Cubs win, 5-2

And the Cubs go on to win the World Series. Let's not get carried away here.

I will admit though i was wrong about the whole wild card thing, makes things interesting.

The fact that we didn't care this time last year makes it better than where I'm at now. Sure, they're half a game out as of this moment, but there is such little cause for hope that right now feels a lot more like last May than it does September of 03 or 04 even.

 

Last year, the Cubs had the common freaking courtesy to make it a sharp, clear pain early on. I spent my time in mourning, moved on with life, and made my peace with futility, all before the first of August. September 06 was a peaceful time. Right now, the inevitability is so overwhelming that there is no room for the excitement that normally comes with being in the chase.

[St.Paul Cub]

Milwaukee gift wrapped it for us tonight. Let's try and score a few runs for Hill!

All that drama queen schtick must come from the other side of the family, no?

Last night sucked. But, Milwaukee did indeed gift wrap today for us. The Cubs will grab this one without a doubt.

 

Because I say so.

 

Back into a first place tie tonight.

[Balsa]

I thought Theriot was getting a day off???

XM just quoted Lou as saying Ronny C is starting tonight and Theriot needed a blow (I assume he means rest...otherwise I'm not sure I can type that(or that it really couldn't be said about everyone :D ))

If anyone needed a slumpbuster it'd definitely be The Riot.

[Mizzou]

This isn't a must win, but we really need to win this game.

[gerby23]

Hmm no lineups, guess I'll see where we're at and whose on the field after church. Hope I'm not in charge of the mojo tonight...guess I'll pray just in case
