They just have to worry about today's game. Worry about tomorrow then. I hope Rich pitches his best game so far. Offense guys that is what we need. Make it easier on Rich today and get some runs. Score first and score often. Hope the crowd provides the support this team needs.

GO CUBS!!! GO CUBS!!! GO CUBS!!!

Real good sign for the Cubbies
So I'm sitting there, watching ASU plod their way through another 1st quarter against WSU, and just cracked open my first annual Sam Adams "Octerberfest" of the year, which is traditional for me this time every year and just smelled the succulant aroma it sends off to greet it's owner, when a knock on the door interrupts my heavenly routine.

 It's UPS. With a box. Hm. I don't remember buying anything recently. I sign and shut the door holding this box.  Shake. very light. Is it my birthday? No, not for another month.

 And what do I see when I lift the folds back but a Cub hat! THAT'S RIGHT!!! Ofcourse!! I had completely forgotten I had ordered a Cub had 1 month ago!!! ANd it just now comes today, of all days?? How had I forgotten I ordered a Cub hat? Oh that's right, that's about the time I started into Bears mode.

 Apparently it got lost and there's a note saying how sorry they are and to call a UPS CSR to find out more information. I've never been so happy to receive a package a month late.

 And it's a fitted hat. and it fits perfectly. Oh what a day. The Cubs will not lose today. It's fate.

come out blazing do not take that sucker off. OK?

Let's not get overly dramatic
It's not a must-win game until you get eliminated.  All we need to do . . .

Oh, what?  The season is over if we lose today?

OK, then.  I guess it's a must-win.

He's been living off that giant strike zone that Eric Gregg gave him for ten years now.  He's a bad pitcher, as long as we're patient.

If the Cubs were up 2-0
I guarantee you wouldn't be hearing any 'perceived' bias. You'd be too happy. This is a normal feeling when one's team is sucking -- hard. "Everybody's against us."

This is the type of talk I heard years ago -- from Padres fans. ("Everybody wants the Cubs to win -- all announcers are biased.")

The 1984 ABC crew that covered that game, including the late Don Drysdale suddenly didn't sound biased when the Pads came back.

You cannot fault TBS
for showing game highlights. If A-Ram had 2 grand slams, if Theriot had 5 triples in the past two games, if D-Lee had a game winning double - you'd be seeing those plays when the Cubs bat.

If THIS is the so-called bias, that's incorrect.

Hate to agree with the other poster, but ARIZONA is the only team with highlights to show. Unless you want TBS to show A-Ram's K's, or the outs made with runners on base.
