You can thank me for suggesting this starting now.

CUBS' remaining schedule (12).... Gm# Date Opponent Score Starter Opp Starter 151 Mon 09/17 Cincinnati N - Hill Arroyo 152 Tue 09/18 Cincinnati N - Zambrano Harang 153 Wed 09/19 Cincinnati N - Lilly Shearn 154 Fri 09/21 Pittsburgh - Marshall Maholm 155 Sat 09/22 Pittsburgh - Marquis Van Benschoten 156 Sun 09/23 Pittsburgh - Hill Gorzelanny 157 Tue 09/25 @ Florida N - Zambrano Willis 158 Wed 09/26 @ Florida N - Lilly Mitre 159 Thu 09/27 @ Florida - Marshall Olsen 160 Fri 09/28 @ Cincinnati N - Marquis Arroyo 161 Sat 09/29 @ Cincinnati N - Hill Harang 162 Sun 09/30 @ Cincinnati - Zambrano Shern dangit, we play every teams ace. Between Willis, Harang, Harang, Gorzelanny, the pitching roation could not have come out worse. On the toerh hand, we might not face too many no-name lefties. It really upsets me that Milwaukee gets to miss Oswalt (whose wife is having a baby this week, otherwise he would pitch) and Peavy in their series coming up. Not fair.

Those of us who work for a living are glad for the night games :)

Earlier in the day I found 14 seats in a row together.

That is by far the best choice. Brand the sucker and send it to the HOF. When Bonds eventually goes into the HOF and takes his tour around the place, he will see that branded baseball and see what he did to the game.

Just letting everyone know that wants to goto a Cubs game but doesn't think they can get tickets. I just pulled up 14 tickets in one section, as well as pulling up 8 bleacher seats for tonights game. I am guessing with school back, yet the Cubs contending, there will be a big walkup crowd to this game, so get your tickets now!

How are the splits broken up? I don't know, but completely guessing I would assume that they were very good in April and May, ok in June, bad in July and August, and improving in September.

Our offense would probably be more effective against the Chiefs than the Bears was.

He is so boring on the radio. He has no excitement. I swear I listen to Brewers games occasionally on 620 AM when I'm driving (in Chicago, you can get great reception during the day, so-so at night) and I swear you cannot tell anything about the game based on his voice. A game winning home run will sound like a popout the way he calls it. Sometimes when I'm doing something and miss the start of a Cubs game and I turn on Pat and Ron, I can tell immediately whether the Cubs are doing good or bad based on their tone of voice. Would never ever guess with Uecker

I think a lot of the negative reaction from fans is from that fact that every time he has a bad start, fans start to expect his season to go downhill and his numbers to look like last years. No one liked this signing, and everyone was/is waiting for him to fail. When this season is over, people will look at his numbers and realize that he had a pretty good season for a 4th/5th starter and even though he is overpaid no matter what, he showed that he can be effective and help the Cubs win.

Except Burnitz was a corner OF with below average defense, while Theriot is a SS with above average defense.

C'mon Cubs. Although you are in first by yourself, you are tied in the loss column meaning that you do not control your own destiny. Win

So maybe we should score some runs here. Doesn't look like Milwaukee is ready to lose. They used Turnbow and hes actually getting outs.

Despite being on the brink of a huge inning (;)), the Reds somehow get out of it.

Seems like every play puts the Cubs on the brink of disaster.

And now the offense is going to go stagnant

That's how you make up for your crappy play Kendall?

Not the point. The point is we've already had 2 guys thrown out at home, squandered a bases loaded 1 out situation with 0 runs to show for it, squandered a runner on second 0 out situation with 0 runs, completely botched a dropped third strike play with a lacksadasical throw to first. If we play this game soundly, we are up 5-0

These are the Cubs I remember. Welcome back guys, I missed you!

Miguel Cairo are you serious?

Lots of Steve Trachsel awaits the Cubs after today's performance.

Oh well it is still 5-3. Oh wait, we got 2 runners thrown out at home, nevermind. The Cubs have made a half dozen mistakes in this game, its amazing that we are only tied and not down 3-4 runs

Kendall and Marshall, what a perfect battery of awesomeness

Playing with fire all game....now he gets burned.

Maybe this is why Tracshel is here
