Three rules for today...

We shall break the WGN curse.

We shall score runs.

We shall win.

Little Slide Rooter · July 20, 2008

Cubs 57-0 when they score more runs than the other team

0-40 when they dont.

Brandon Backe is a pitcher that The Cubs should be able to score more runs against than Ryan Dempster should give up.

Then again, so were Moehler and Rodriguez.

Go Cobs!

Schwarber Fan · July 20, 2008

Soto probably gets an off day today

Ramirez and Lee go yard today and the Cubs finally win.

They should be called Cobs until they start playing like a major league team.

They should figure out a way to get back to 20 over without then immediately crapping the bed for days at a time.

Boooo losing.

The Cubs are going to kill Backe today.

TysonCBulls423 · July 20, 2008

Baseball fans everywhere seem to think Ramirez and Lee are due. In Baseball salary, they are the popular picks. So cmon guys make EVERYONE in baseball happy!

Fred Hornkohl · July 20, 2008

Theriot flied out to right field

UMFan83 · July 20, 2008

Backe actually has worse splits at home than on the road, so hopefully this means we will hit him hard.

Kosuke down 0-2 has been way too common lately :(

Fred Hornkohl · July 20, 2008

Fukudome doubled to left field

David · July 20, 2008

Kosuke with the 1 out double

UMFan83 · July 20, 2008

Fukudouble!

Fred Hornkohl · July 20, 2008

CUBS have hit at least 1 double in each of their last 18 games

CUBS are 51-32 when they hit at least 1 double.... 6-7 when they don't

Go CUBS !!
