GO CUBS!!!

[Sammy Sofa]

A night away game?

 

The Marlins are about to be pounded by a powerful and merciless Harden.

[Old Style]

LET THE MASHING CONTINUE!

[Keener98]

If we dont score 12 runs in this game Im going to be pissed.

[otis89]

If we dont score 12 runs in this game Im going to be pissed.

 

What if the Cubs score 13 runs? ;)

[Fred Hornkohl]

In that case, he'll just be mildly annoyed. :wink:

A sweep would be ideal.

2 of 3 would be great.

1 of 3 would be OK depending on what happens in the next two road series.

0 of 3 would suck unless they win 5 of the other 6 games on the road trip.

 

Basically, I want at least a 5-4 road trip and I don't really care how they do it.

[Little Slide Rooter]

This hell hole is the last place we want to go to keep the hot streak in tact, but I have faith in these guys. Landshark stadium or whatever they want to call it is to the Cubs as the Metrodome is to the Sox.

Well it's a 10-game road trip. (3 FLA, 3 CIN, 4 COL). 6-4 would be good. However, with St. Louis' schedule, that might not be enough to keep the Cubs in 1st. They have Houston (3), Mets (2), Pit (3) and then Cin (3). The only good pitchers they face (Wandy, Oswalt, Santana) will be facing Carpenter, Wainwright, and Pineiro respectively, so they could conceivably have a favorable pitching matchup in every game. The Cubs get the Phils when they get home. So, 7-3 would be ideal. Sweeping FL might be too much to ask. Sweeping Cincy again will be tough. 3-1 vs. a good Col team will be tough too. But, 2-1, 2-1, 3-1 is doable.

I like that, if Cubs keep winning series from here on out they be in playoffs regardless of what the Cardinals do.

Plus what's the over/under on how many rain delays there will be?

South Florida in July? Ugh.

[NeifiIsMyHomeBoy]

Just keep on keepin on baby! We are in great position for a playoff birth especially if we can handle the Rockies on this trip, but first lets fry the fish.

[coldsteel]

Sam Fuld is back, which makes us invincible.

 

We are in great position for a playoff birth

Playoff births are inconvenient, but still joyous and wonderful.

[soapy]

dammit i was thinking this was a day game and just came to check the lineups. no idea why i was thinking that.

Oops. I was going off that thread about the schedule in Cubs Discussions that said the Colorado series was a three-gamer.

 

Yeah, I want a 6-4 road trip.

 

I think they have to take 2 of 3 from the Reds and winning 4 of the other 7 is doable. Going 6-4 also becomes easier if they can sweep the Reds, which is also possible.

[Z38Cubs]

Harden has been outstanding in his first 3 second half starts.

 

19 IP 8 H 2 ER 2 BB 21 K.

 

We have the pitching advantage in all 3 matchups. 2 of 3 would be great in this hellhole.

I really dont like Soriano getting a day off right now with how hot hes been. It was fine giving him those days off when he was sucking, but Id rather ride this hot streak. Although I do partially understand tonights a good night with his 0-9 career vs Volsted.

[jersey cubs fan]

Koyie Hill better not even think of going to the Clevelander this weekend, or the beach. He might evaporate.

[Banedon]

Fox is in there? Omgwtf you can't play both catchers at once!

I heard Jose Hernandez is our emergency catcher
