7/4 CubZ (Z!) at Red Birds (Looper) 7:15p WGN TV/Radio XM186

[TMan92]

Johnson got a horrible jump.

Why aren't the Cubs wearing their traditional road caps (blue with red bill)? I noticed they weren't like that in SF either. Sorry if its been asked before, I've been out of the loop.

 

Every team in baseball today is wearing the special 4th of July hats. They're trying to do it at least once in each ballpark, which is why they were worn in SF.

All MLB teams are wearing Stars and Stripes hats this weekend.

Ugh Ludwick

[Guest]

Glove head sure looks like a cool guy.

[UMFan83]

A little scared.

 

If we win its a decent win...if we lose its a horrible horrible devistating loss.

 

Not much to gain here

 

take a breath, dude, we're an out away from winning game one against our chief rivals and the team directly below us in the standings on the road. this is a HUGE win

 

He's a little melodramatic at times...

 

Not really...I just think there is much more to lose in losing this game at this point than there is to gain by winning...I obviously hope we win

[TruffleShuffle]

called strike, let's all boo!

[OleMissCub]

 

Nawww the Cubs will be fine.

This would just be the Cubs' luck if Ludwick were to drive Molina in here.

Getting the first win is a pretty big deal when you just have to win one more in the weekend to take the series.
