Thank god I'll miss this one.

[kujay]

Thank God I missed last night.

 

Let's just keep the lead at 4 or 5 through today and tomorrow. St. Louis is fading, we should have a good series against them next week.

I'll be missing out on this one, but lets hope that we end up with this

As unlikely as this losing streak is, it's fitting that Marquis pitches a gem tonight.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Well..... seeing as how the CUBS have been so painful to watch these last few days, and I have to get on a plane tonight and leave this wonderful place....... I just thought I'd share a few pix with you all............

Took a fishing trip yesterday on "Bite Me Sport Fishing". Couldn't resist a shot of one of the crew with his "Bite Me" T-shirt.

 

 

 

Sure wish I could stay another week.

 

Go CUBS !!

No, not zackly....... I got here Sunday evening. So they already had nice losing streak under way, but sadly, they are 0-4 while I'm here. Definitely need to change that tonight !!!

So, what is the Cubs record when I'm not watching the game :wink:

[Schwarber Fan]

Edmonds hurt?

[pitchcs]

Edmonds hurt?

 

 

No...Lou said on pregame he is now playing best lineup to win that day. Not sure how that should be any different than usual, but I'll take it to mean the traditional platoons may be over.

[Shilzzz]

the cubs will win tonight. i'm sending the good vibes their way. :D)

[17 Seconds]

Cubs win 7-4. Ramirez and Soriano go yard.

It just doesn't make sense to me to keep a guy who got on base 3 times last night and scored a run out of a slumping lineup trying to get back on track...

Yup, he is the master of strategically placing hits on the infield so his slow ass can make it to first in time
