[PrimeTime]

Oh man today is going to be the slowest day ever..Only slept 5 hours because of being to damn gitty about today and couldnt stop thinking about it. This year definetley has a better and more pumped up feel than last year. T-minus 9 hours until gametime.

[wekse]

had a dream that the cubs gave up 9 runs in the first...but i was playing RF so take it for what it's worth

[fromthestretch]

I was encouraged by the game calling by Dick Stockton last night. I don't think he'll be nearly as bad as he was last year.

 

He was tolerable but still pretty bad. It honestly sounds like he's not paying attention half the time. That said, I'd rather listen to those guys than Buck and McCarver.

 

And, man...Eckersley just looks and sounds like he's not very comfortable in front of the camera. I felt bad for the guy everytime they cut back to the studio.

[soapy]

make them throw you strikes, soriano. kthanksbye

[Little Slide Rooter]

Someone on Dodgerblues is saying this is the Dodgers lineup. Not sure if it was reported yet:

 

Furcal, SS

Martin, C

Manny, LF

Ethier, RF

Loney, 1B

Kemp, CF

DeWitt, 2B

Blake, 3B

Lowe, P

 

You know, that's really not that bad of a lineup.

 

Considering they have Nomar, Kent, and Pierre off the bench, its not bad at all. It's going to be all about our pitching this series. If Demp, Z, and Harden are on, this should be a quick series.

[UMFan83]

In my dream last night, the Cubs were up 3-1 and Marmol was on the hill so presumably it was the 8th inning. But then I woke up.

 

Ever waken up after a good dream and get upset that it wasn't real?

[kujay]

^That's not a bad lineup, but it can be shut down.

 

I expect Demp to give up 2-3 over 7 IP tonight. The rest is up to the offense.

 

Please be awake, bats.

[C.C.]

Happy Hump Day!!!!!!!

 

[censored]

 

 

Let's get it on!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[pitchcs]

What time is it?

 

Game time...hua!

[Soul]

Please be awake, bats.

 

I'll take it. Please be patient with Lowe and don't swing at his low-and-away slider, Cubs. I'm beggin' here.

[IheartMBnDL]

This is ridiculous! Why can't they play morning games? I don't think I can last until 5:30, my Cub Fever is so hot right now!!!!!!!!

 

Yay Cubs!!!

Well, Soriano and Lee will continue to do so but, the remainder of the lineup usually lays off that crap. Soriano - why does anybody throw him anything near the strike zone, I'm glad that many are dumb enough to do so, but, why?

[C.C.]

My stomach is in knots. I so need a Bloody right now!!!

[RammyFanny]

Time needs to fly already 8-)

[RammyFanny]

Sorry if this has been answered already, but it's raining pretty hard by me (Indiana). Anyone know if things are OK for tonight?

[BleacherBadger]

Took a run around the stadium last night. Eerily quiet, even for a Tuesday night.

 

Tis the calm before the storm.

[mlarner]

Cubs have been steady all year long, no reason to think they won't continue through the playoffs. We are rested, the rotation is set, and Lou will have the boys ready to play. I think the sweep last year will be on everybody's mind, and it will help get them focused on the task at hand. The only things that concern me is DeRo's injury right now.

I have faith, and will until it gets beaten out of me.

To borrow a line posted earlier...

What time is it...GAME TIME!

GO CUBS!

:yahoo:

[Sorianos hop]

I just finished writing a 2 page paper for a marketing presentation tomorrow. Now I can enjoy the Cubs tonight without distraction.

 

I was thinking about the plate discipline the Cubs displayed at the start of the season. I hope that we'll see that again in the post season along with Fukudome recovering from his half season long slump.

 

GO CUBS!!!!!

[BleacherBadger]

It's mid to upper 50s and overcast, but no call for rain.

My biggest fear with D Lowe is D Lee coming to the plate with 1 out and a man on 1st.

[weis21]

What's the over/under on the page count before the first pitch?

 

I'll say 27

[Soul]

Fair warning: I don't have the willpower to stay away from this game thread and I'm going to be freaking out tonight if the game is at all close.

 

Good, glad we got that out of the way.

[kujay]

I'll go under on that, but not by much.

 

I'm going to be out watching the game so I won't be part of the playoff game thread madness. Hopefully I'll want to come back and read it tomorrow.
