They've been doing it since the late 70's
The Sox have always done that at home games since the 70’s—originally Nancy Faust, who originally popularized the song at games in that context (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nancy_Faust), on the organ and later through the stadium PA when she wasn’t playing every game.

No, I am pleasantly surprised
at his performance so far this year and realize that he will most likely come down to earth as the season goes on. I meant that we will need some road victories with him pitching.

Well
It is the 3rd Inning…
We need to start chipping away at this lead.
Maybe it was fitting that CSN had the Colorado game on prior to this one. If it was the 8th inning we could start crying in our beer.

Falling behind
Trouble is on the horizon if the Cubs keep falling behind. This has been happening with too much regularity. The starting pitching isn’t good enough over the course of the full season for that to continue happening. They are in a pretty significant rut lately, the Sox series notwithstanding, and if they don’t snap out of it soon, the NL Central race will be way tighter than it should be….and soon.

It's not Just the Pitching
We need to score some runs especially when we load the bases. How many double plays has Lee hit into??
Yes we need pitching but I always hear we should throw the pitchers out and get new ones. Why does Lee get as free pass.

If we have learned anything so far this season
it would be that the Cubs have to make nearly every game interesting, no matter how much we would sometimes prefer a good safe win. Or in the case of when they play the Cards and White Sux, a nice safe blow out.

Vacation Time!!!
I am off to Boston! I will trust we win this series and sweep the dirt birds by the time I return. Until then I bid you farewell and much less angst…
Way back... outta here!!!

Why pull Lieber?
Leave him in and get all the hits out those White Sox bats.

I don't want the bleeding stopped.
I want the White Sox to smack 20 hits and score 15 runs and then go cold the rest of the series.

Right, and how does putting in Neal Cotts change that plan?
