How the hell are we in first?

How the hell are we in first?

 

By playing like we did last week and not tonight.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Win this, damnit.

Win this, damnit.

 

What he said.

Going into the Cincy series last week at home the consensus was that if the Cubs won the remaining of their series they would take the division.

 

So far they have done just that.

 

2 out of 3 from Cincy

3 out of 3 against Pitt

2 left with Fla

3 left w/ Cincy

 

They are 5-2 thus far with 5 to play. 3-2 the rest of the way accomplishes that goal with room to spare.

[soccer10k]

Please win.

[BCVM22]

Fear and anguish beginning to creep in slowly...

 

GO CUBS

[Sammy Sofa]

Win it for us all, gentlemen.

[Little Slide Rooter]

We'll likely have Jones and Floyd in the lineup, and that gives us some extra pop in there.

[SouthSideRyan]

Have a bizarrely good feeling about Marquis, big stadium should help him.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Barone was 7-0 in AAA however had an ERA of 4.09.

[Little Slide Rooter]

You cant exactly blame Cubs fans for jumping into panic mode with a 2 game lead and 5 games left. The team has trained it fans to do so over the past 99 years.

[Flames24Rulz]

I have a good feeling about Marquis as well, as long as his control is strong early.

 

Please don't let this Bar guy shut you down, Cubs.

[erik316wttn]

Must win game, guys. You can't afford to suck.

I hope Don Young doesn't choke down the stretch again. No wait that was 35 years ago, and he may very well be dead. The plight of the last 99 years has nothing to do with the current team. There aren't even many players left from the team that collapsed in '04, and most importantly there are no coaches or MANAGER left from that team.

There wasnt anyone from the '69 team on the '04 team yet either.

 

Again, Im not in panic mode. yet. Tonight was just a speed bump and a wakeup call that just because we had a good Sunday doesnt mean that this things in the bag.

 

I really dont see us not winning at least 3 more.

It just seems that the Cubs always choke. The evidence is there. You can't deny it.

 

That being said, however, I feel good about this game. Hopefully they can rebound and the bats can put up 5 or so runs.

Hopefully they'll win and the Brewers will lose and all will be well...

True. If the Cubs cant muster at least another 3 wins against a couple of weak teams, and the Brewers can pull of 5 more consecutive wins, then The Brewers deserve to win it, and the Cubs dont and 2007 will simply go down as another dissapoining chapter in Cubs History.
