Back in the early 80's Wrigley was pretty empty. I remember buying the cheapest seats and moving to box seats. Everything changed after 1984. The CUBS had a lot of crowds in the hundreds back in the early/mid sixties. Gave the fans a chance to get to know the players !! :wink: The Cards are dead. Long live the Cards !!! I'm confused... Of course you are !! You seem to think we're on Central Standard Time around here, no? :wink:

CUBS record vs. opposing pitchers..... Pitcher Team Record Harang Cincinnati 1-3 Arroyo Cincinnati 2-1 Dumatrait Cincinnati 0-1 Williams Houston 2-2 Gorzelany Pittsburgh 1-1 Armas Pittsburgh 1-0 Bullington Pittsburgh 0-0 Looper St. Louis 1-2 Wainright St. Louis 2-1 Piniero St. Louis 1-0 Mulder St. Louis 0-0 Willis Florida 0-1 Mitre Florida 0-1 Olson Florida 0-0 totals 11-13 These last 17 games will be uphill all the way !!!

You're kidding right? There are no elite names in that list. Harang and Willis are maybe the toughest match-ups. Besides, you should see the Brewers projected opposing pitcher schedule. It's brutal, containing several elite pitchers (Oswalt, Young, Smoltz, possibly Peavy) and several solid guys (Maddux, Hudson). Yes, but you forget, we are the CUBS !!! We eat good pitchers for breakfast.... it's the mediocre ones that look like Cy Young against us !! :wink:

Just in case anybody wasn't aware.... this game is starting at 11:35 Central. Wells for the Cards vs. Harang for the Red.

Yeah.... and 6 of the 17 are lefties !!!
