C.C. · July 29, 2008

Man, yesterday win was incredible! It's time for Ram to step-up. I predict he goes 3-4 with a monster 3 run shot.

Sorianos hop · July 29, 2008

I'm going to miss 2/3 of this game because of my stats class. It's okay though, I'm still worked up over that fantastic game.

erik316wttn · July 29, 2008

Fred, my man, you're in the wrong business. I think you missed your calling working for the Elias Sports Bureau. You are a stat fiend!

Yesterday's game was further proof why baseball is the greatest game in the world. No other sport can provide that kind of drama, suspense, and intrigue.

Out of curiosity, how many times have Z and Sheets faced each other all-time?

kujay · July 29, 2008

Not having CSN (or it would have been yesterday), today is the first day this season I'm thinking about nothing else but going home and watching the game tonight.

And if they win, I'll probably skip out on my firm's softball game tomorrow to watch that game. Does that mean I'm not a team player?

Little Slide Rooter · July 29, 2008

Z just needs to be better than Sheets tonight. bottom line.

Keener98 · July 29, 2008

Chad Gaudin for new RH setup guy anybody else with me?

Derwood · July 29, 2008

The Cubs are something like 31-15 on CSN. What's their record on WGN? Not as good I suspect.

This is important because the TV station they are broadcast on is the single most crucial element to winning or losing

bukie · July 29, 2008

If Pythagorus played the games, the Cubs would have an 8 game lead in the division. Unfortunately, he's on the DL right now, so the lead is only 2.

shnsajax · July 29, 2008

I can't wait till Brawn gets drilled by someone this year. Will tonight be the night? I won't be suprised if the Cards do it.

TMan92 · July 29, 2008

Did he really do a curtain call on a game tying HR in the 6th inning?

anabiono · July 29, 2008

what?

i was outside during that moment, if true, thank god i wasn't watching

jersey cubs fan · July 29, 2008

Wait. A guy isn't allowed to do a curtain call on game tying HR in the 6th inning? I don't recall that happening, but considering the roll he's been on, I could easily see Cubs fans calling for a similar player to do a curtain call.

The R-Train · July 29, 2008

What about the guy who starts the threads?

otis89 · July 29, 2008

You've won 2 in a row. Nice job so far, but let's wait until you get a little longer streak going, OK? ;)

shnsajax · July 29, 2008

I am mostly talking about him having the slowest walk to 1st base in baseball after his 3 second pose. The one against the Cards was worse than against the Cubs. If he does that against Zambrano he will take notice.

Butterscup1679666578 · July 29, 2008

Win.

CubInOK · July 29, 2008

And if that happens, we can expect Soriano to get one in the ribs and then a nice baseball brawl.

Ryne_MacGyver · July 29, 2008

In that case, we should call up Castillo.

shnsajax · July 29, 2008

Soto will single handedly take down the entire Brewers team ;-).

killthegoat06 · July 29, 2008

This guy.

Bote McBoteface · July 29, 2008

Beating Sheets today would be bad ass.

Old Style · July 29, 2008

He sure did.

7/29 BigZ makes it W3 (There's a game at 7:05pm on WGN TV)
