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.

wow WTF is wrong with this team on the road
Every player should be accorded the privilege of at least one season with the Chicago Cubs. That's baseball as it should be played - in God's own sunshine. And that's really living."
Dempster had better figure out how to pitch on the road the 2nd half

get better? he's been excellent on the road beside this game
just doesn’t have the record because the team didn’t score runs for him
2008 Cubs: Who needs nine innings, when you only need a 7th?
True, maybe I should have said the CUBS
need to learn how to win on the road when he is pitching.
"WGN, Channel 9 Cubs Baseball, Excitingly, Importantly, Dramatically Yours." - Jack Brickhouse
If your hope for the season is for Ryan Dempster to somehow get BETTER...
...then I want you to prepare for disappointment.
how much better could he GET, anyway?

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.
"WGN, Channel 9 Cubs Baseball, Excitingly, Importantly, Dramatically Yours." - Jack Brickhouse
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.

Chipping away is one thing
gotta stop their offense more importantly…

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.
Eighty-five percent of the f*ckin' world is working. The other fifteen percent come out here. -- Lee Constantine Elia, 1983.
agreed 100%
The starting pitching has been awful (especially rhe last two games, of course. I think they’re really missing Z).
"Hey hey, kiss it goodbye! That one's in Milwaukee! Man oh man did he hit it. Isn't that something?" - Lou Boudreau, May 17, 1979
Lou Donaghy???
Did Lou just throw this one in the crapper to begin with??? Look at our lineup. I mean, I know we have a few injuries, but good grief man. All the scrubs are playing at the same time. I wouldn’t call Ward a scrub, but he surely isn’t a fleet footed RF. Patterson, Cedeno, FonteNO, geez….....
And another thing
The White Sux are the ones who need this game, alot more then we do.
Id rather be Up 4.5 in the division then just 1/2 up like the White Sux.

and this will be two. I agree with what your saying, we are in a good position,
but not nearly good enough to get complacent

Doesn’t matter, as banged up as they are, there is no reason to continue on today. Put what’s left of the bench in, count down the days until these stupid interleague games are finally over with, and move on.

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.
Lee's leading the lead in DP's

Dear Carlos Zambrano,

But please for the love of god please come back to the rotation soon!!! WE NEED YOU!!!!!!!

Well this stinks
But I wonder what is going on to make our Cubs play so horrible lately. Yeah teams have slumps, but they get out of those by figuring out what they are doing wrong. Lets hope they figure it out soon.
WTF
They swept the White Sox two series ago.
"I think Hendry still has a few years to serve on his 'grand larceny' sentence before he can shop in Pittsburgh again" - ballhawk

And getting smashed in most of the other games to this point. Are you saying WTF because you disagree that they are in a slump?
Guys I don't know about you
but I think we should add Harden and Sabathia to the team. Shouldn’t take much right?

Frustrating last two games but....
this looks to be one of those slumpy stretches all teams go through…..our expectations are sky high because we have seen this team at its best and it still does have the best record in baseball….....gotta just hope the slumpy stretch is short and we can rebound quickly…..at least the All-Star break is coming…..let’s work on these kinks and be glad this isn’t happening in August and September…..
Agree
we were all hoping we’d have a good bounce back game after yesterday and oops! here we go again.

It looks like I’ve missed a beat-down. Was Dempster really that bad or did the defense screw him? Anything wrong with DeRo that Lou couldn’t find a place to play him?

Pitching staff could be in scary shape in a few days
I have modest faith in Sean Gallagher giving 5 or 6 innings tomorrow. But I have zero faith in Sean Marshall doing anything on Sunday. And after Marquis and Dempster got rocked? We could be looking at a severely spent bullpen in a few days.
Hendry, PLEASE get another starting pitcher soon.
GET Rich Harden !!! 11 starts, 5-0, 57 IP, 83 Ks, 2.15 ERA !!!
Don't bother him with facts.

Well that was a very blah inning....guess we have to wait for more Fonty to get back up.
Anyone else think DLee should hit the showers and let someone else play out the rest of this game??? Oh wait, we barely have any players…..
Yeah,
Let’s take a gold glove out of the game. Stupid.

I’ll check back in later to root for the Royals.
Really?
I did not know that. If they hadn’t, just think- 15 teams in each league, (if they did expansion right), and the Cubs in a 5 team division- just like everybody else would be!

"In football the object is for the quarterback, also known as the
field general, to be on target with his aerial assault, riddling the
defense by hitting his receivers with deadly accuracy in spite of the
blitz, even if he has to use the shotgun. With short bullet passes and
long bombs, he marches his troops into enemy territory, balancing this
aerial assault with a sustained ground attack that punches holes in
the forward wall of the enemy's defensive line.
