As awful as the 7th inning stretch is now, its nice to see actual Cubs fans do it.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 9-0 when they lead after 7 innings

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Lockes Eye Scar]

yes, Bonnie Hunt is awesome.

[Post Count Padder]

Wuertz in

[Brian]

Lee's out, let's panic! ;)

[Fred Hornkohl]

Wuertz in to pitch for the CUBS

[RedFlash]

JUst pulled up the box score on the Yahoo! Cubs update thingie...

 

Are the Cubs bats that good, or is PIttsburgh's pitching that bad?

 

I don't think the Pirates pitching is "that bad", if that tells you anything. When you can beat, Snell, Gorzalanny (sp?), and Duke, that's a damn fine good weekend of work.

[Andy]

Lee's out, let's panic! ;)

Quick, pull up that replay of absolutely nothing happening to Lee!

[Fred Hornkohl]
