Looking forward to the Marlins

by BigDcubbie on Aug 12, 2008 11:39 AM CDT

Taking nothing away from the upcoming Braves series, I personally am looking forward to the Marlins this weekend.

Maybe that is because I have tickets for Sat Night...hmm...

Anyway, why do you think the Cubs have such a hard time beating Florida? I don't remember the numbers very well off hand, but overall the Fish have played us hard. I hope that either Big Z or Dempster goes for us Sat Night

So anyone else from the community playing on attending the Marlins game? If you are going to be sitting along the 3rd baseline near the bullpen, maybe I'll bump into you...

As always, Go Cubs!

PS: Do fans still sing the "Go Cubs Go" song (if we win) even though it is a road game?

Sing "Go Cubs Go" at your own risk.

Although there will probably not be many fans in that stadium to object to the song. I just hope we get 3 chances to sing it.

How about drinking their milkshakes?

That’s fun too.

Dempster's 14th win

Here’s hoping you see Dempster win his 14th! According to cubs.com, Zambrano is scheduled for Friday and Dempster for Saturday:

Didn't the Braves just take 2 of 3 from the D-Backs?

Also they have a whole bunch of young pitching that is going out there to prove something. I fear those kind of guys more than the best pitchers pitching in pressure packed games.

Looks like rain

I hope the Cubs play tonite, I know off days are a great asset to the team, but I hate when the Cubs aren’t playing, on top of the off day yesterday, looks like 90% chance of rain for tonite in Atlanta. Not to excited a rain out.

I have decided to stay home this time...

...in the hopes of changing the karma. Anyway, I really hate the Marlins, their stadium, and their fans.

Although the keychain flashlight I received at the game in September is pretty nice….

Let my ashes blow in a beautiful snow from the prevailing 30 mile an hour southwest wind...

And I will come to my final resting place, out on Waveland Avenue. --Steve Goodman

We haven't even gotten past Atlanta yet, and I already want to be out of Florida

I hate watching games played in that stadiu,m. I hate when the Cubs play there because for whatever reason we cannot win there. Lets just get in, hopefully win one game and then get out.

Did you see any of the video...

... from last night’s Cardinals/Marlins game after their rain delay? Couldn’t have been more than a few hundred people left there in a stadium that seats 73,000 for football games.
