F*cking Cubs.

F*ck them...

19-5, Suppan sucks.

[dmiles2186]

Boy, oh, boy am I excited for this one. I'm going to tomorrow's game and I'm glad I get to see Lohse. The Cubs have had our number the last few years, so hopefully that changes this weekend.

[VictorManthing]

I'll be there tonight. Way up top. Hopefully the rain goes away early like they are expecting. I want to see some baseball! GO CARDS!

Heres how I feel about this series:


edit: oh yea, Curt, what is that third picture, I don't recognize it, which is usually a sign that I should recognize it

Izzy has got to be hurt!

[cprice12]

Izzy blew the win for Wainright...but we still win in 11 innings on Schumaker's 2-run dinger...we'll take it.
The Cubs were lucky to take it to extra innings. They played like ass and Izzy let them back into the game in the 9th.

1.5 game lead on the Cubs...2.5 game lead on the Brewers.

Suck it Chicago.

[stlmark]

We need to at least take 2 of 3, but a sweep would be sweet.

[stlmark]

Losing sucks. We need to win tomorrow night in front of a national audience to take this series.

[cprice12]

One bad inning...that's all it was...and that's all it took.

Going into the series, I thought Sunday was the game we had the best chance of losing...let's hope I'm wrong and we take 2 of three and a 1.5 game lead in the division.

[stlmark]

2 out of 3 from the Cubs.

Now it's on to Colorado!
