Awesome game. I'm not even drunk this time. Keep it rolling at home young bears.

[Brian]

this chump shut us down to open the 2nd half, hopefully we clobber him.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Keep the winning streak alive!

[UMFan83]

this chump shut us down to open the 2nd half, hopefully we clobber him.

 

He's much better at home than on the road. He has some recent success against us, but he hasn't pitched in Wrigley since 2005 (in a relief role). We should hit him.

[Ski]

I just love it when it feels like the Cubs won't lose another game, ever.

[Ski]

Thee's a chance I'll be going to this game.

 

Please Cubs, do better than your 3-0 loss on friday. Most disappointing game ever. At least score some runs, or hit a home run or something to excite me.

 

I I don't get to this game, there's a chance I'll get to watch Harden pitch on Tuesday.

[Little Slide Rooter]

There was no excuse for not ripping into this guy last time. This time, he is ours.

[tfarks]

if ski goes to this game and the cubs lose he needs to go back to north dakota and stay there

[RedFlash]

The Cubs have ask for patent information from the government. Why? Because the Cubs are so going to own Moehler this time around.

I think it's a bad idea doing it this early. It's the equivilent of counting down outs starting in the 4th or 5th inning of Game 6.

 

Don't count your chickens before they hatch. We haven't won a damn thing yet. However, they're playing damn good ball again, and we should knock Moeler around like the chump he is. And Demp is at home, so he should be effective.

And Demp is at home, so he should be effective.

 

 

Dempster has been pretty darn good on the road since the break too. I know, I know, sample size. I just dont think there is anything special about Wrigley that has fueled his performance. He has just turned in a great year all around so far.

Good day to give the double play king a rest and put Ward at 1st?

[Old Style]

Beat the soapdropping Astros.

Beat the soapdropping Astros.

 

they definitely wear the crown of most annoying team thus far

 

there is no reason that we shouldn't sweep these clownballs

[Derwood]

I'm seeing Radiohead tonight, so my night is already going to be awesome. Coming home to see that the Cubs won would just be gravy

[Soul]

We need to figure out how to hit this bozo.

[Little Slide Rooter]

We need to figure out how to hit this bozo.

 

Judging by the stats, all of our players who have a decent sample size against him have had success. Last time we saw him, we were in that spell where we couldnt hit anyone.

 

Edmonds owns him, as does Ward, which is why this would be a perfect day to give the struggling Lee a break whether he likes it or not.

[EPCub4]

Anybody know if the ESPN broadcast be blacked out?

[Choonch]

Is it just me, or do most Astro's starters pitch much better at home?
