A win would be nice.

[Little Slide Rooter]

You know what they say, the 10,002nd wins always the hardest.

[C.C.]

How are in the hell are we in 1st place?

[Schwarber Fan]

You mean 2 series in a row. We didn't lose the Rox series it was a 2 game split.

Seriously? Jeff Suppan? The Cubs better beat him like the b**** that he is.

My keys for tonight's game for the Cubs' offense:

 

Note how many times the Cubs' hitters expand their strike zone on curves and sliders from Suppan, he rarely throws them for strikes.

 

Also, see how aggressive they are the basepaths as Suppan is pretty slow to the plate and Kendall even with him doing better is still someone to run on.

[C.C.]

This is got to be the longest rest for Marmol since they brought him up last year. 4 days of no action.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

I'm going to be pissed if we lose this one.

[UMFan83]

Seriously? Jeff Suppan? The Cubs better beat him like the b**** that he is.

 

I would think Brewers fans are saying the same thing about Dempster.

[otis89]

Just win, losers.

They're too busy mozzerella sticking their way to an early grave.

[Keener98]

Hey Lou get your head out of your ass and lets start playing people who have been hot. Oh and quit starting Jason freaking Marquis.

[C.C.]

I'm still pissed about last night. Sheets walking 7 guys had no business winning that game...I need a win tonight to get passed this.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Cubs are 10,001-0 in games where they score more runs than the opposition.

[Derwood]

Theriot is hitting .227 over his last 5 games. bench him please

[haubrich91]

I don't get WCIU, so will it show the game on ESPN still?

[Derwood]

There's no need for that language.

 

 

According to the Trib, Cuban will be in attendance tonight:

Trib[/url]"]Sure, Tribune Co. chief Sam Zell has said the Chicago Cubs' financial books would go out around now, but it's a ballgame not a book signing Wednesday that will bring potential buyer Mark Cuban to see the Chicago Cubs and Milwaukee Brewers at Wrigley Field.

 

Although Cuban would probably be just as at home in the bleachers, if not more so, don't be surprised if the TV and Internet entrepreneur shows up in primo seats alongside Tribune Broadcasting head Ed Wilson. So now ya know.

[Derwood]

Kosuke is 1 for 15 with 2 outs/RISP.

Strangely enough, outside of Milwaukee and Green Bay, I have found the people of the state of Wisconsin to be in exceptionally good shape in spite of all the beer drinking and cheese eating. They're just outside doing stuff a lot. This still surprises me even after going to college in Wisconsin for 4 years.
