The Cubs hit one homer in the first three games of the series combined (credit to Fred for pointing this out last night) and have three today.

They really are awful, especially in the corners of outfield. Hart has taken some terrible angles in this series.

[CubmanPi]

Cubs 6 runs on 5 hits

 

Brewers 1 run on 6 hits

 

love it

Cubs have Jimmy Ballgame.

 

Ryan Braun is bunting for base hits.

 

It's almost unfair.

[YearofDaCubs]

the real worry is what's happening to harden's stuff? His declining k rate is disconcerting

How dare he not get 10Ks, that BUM!

The Cubs have left exactly 0 runners on base today.

Lee, I think, is unhappy with how he's swung the bat today

I've considered making this claim already today, but the 5-game series against the Cards in September 03 still has it for me. This is pretty flippin sweet though.

I hope the Cubs don't have a let down after this series. With an atmosphere like they've had this week, it might be hard to get up for just Pittsburgh. (Sorry Jake!)

I don't really remember a significantly important series last year like this, although I remember a late series against the Reds with a couple of walk offs that really helped us

Agreed. The Cards one wins cuz it was in late September.

I don't know if its going to finish this way but this is the prediction I made last night.

Cubs Rich Harden looking for his first win and the Cubs looking to finally win going for their 21st game over .500 (previous games going for 21 over 0-5)

 

Rich Harden goes 6 2/3 giving up 1 run on a solo shot and 6 hits, he strikes out 9 and walks 1.

 

The Cubs finally back Harden's good start giving him a 5 run lead 6-1 after 7 innings. The Cubs bullpen looks to blow Harden's outing giving up 2 runs in the 8th, with 1 out in the 8th Jeff Samardijza comes in and closes down the threat.

 

Marmol comes in with the 3 run lead and gets the Brewers 3,4,5 hitters 1,2,3 for the save and the sweep.

 

If you want proof i will provide the link it is the 3rd to last post on the page of the link :)

Lee has been pretty pathetic aside from the 1st game this series. That's the only negative

First week of September (forget if it was 2nd thru 5th or 3-6), but point stands - timing of the season definitely gives it the nod.

[NeifiIsMyHomeBoy]

Its time to gain some ground and solidify our lead before September. I hate to say this but I would almost be disappointed if we don't sweep Pittsburgh this weekend.

Welp now 7-1 so my score will be wrong but I was pretty dang good on the Harden prediction haha

[CubmanPi]

Ahh, Ramirez. I heart you and your doubles-hitting sexiness.

Four game sweep of the Mets at home, I think in 1989 was pretty awesome as well.

There we go A-Ram.

And the hits just keeeeeeeeeeeeep on coming.
