Ryan deserves it.
I can’t think of a better teammate. He has done everything the Cubs have asked during his time in Chicago.

I think today is going to be a BIG game for the Cubs... my predictions.....
Dempster 8 1/3 innings 6 K’s, 4 hits, 2 walks
Ramirez 1 HR, 3 RBI’s
Kosuke 3-4 as a wake up call with a double and an RBI
Cubs win 6-0

their sound has been so miserable,
i leave off the volume
hmm...
I’ve got volume cranked but it’s hell when commercials come on…have to quickly get it back down… then up for the game… sigh
other channels OK
it’s craptastic CSN…thank goodness (in a way) cuz I can’t afford any more technology melt down/losses.
single to left
2 on 1 out
ledges getting crowded
til scrappyness starts a twin-gnat-killing
their left fielder doesn't hop
on routine flyballs.
someone should show fonzie that
Sigh...
I hope Fonzie hops 20 times today…means a good game for the Cubs.

Well, Dempster is doing his part.
Let’s get the man some runs so he can get his 15th win!
Hey, it's a new century!
Agreed.
I’m always so sad when our pitching is there and we can’t bring the runs in. :(
Nothing more frustrating than out-hitting a team and losing with a quality start. GRRR!

No ledges necessary here.
I’m by no means throwing in the towel, or even pessimistic at the moment—just pointing out something that is (obviously) very frustrating. ;)

Worried The Offense Will Start To Press

You know, they did score five yesterday
and that’s usually been enough to win.
One game, not even fully complete, does not constitute a struggle.

You get a lot of guys on base
you leave a lot of guys on base. Think this is bad? You should watch a Cardinals game sometime. Seems like every game they leave a ton on base.
Anyway, things are looking up.

I'm In Football Mentality Mode
if you remember our discussion a while back. “Score score score, kill kill kill, smash ’em and destroy ’em!” Been reading my Street and Smith’s NFL Preview a little too much, I guess.

I'm all for going for the jugular
but a 3-2 win is as good as a 10-0 one. Football can wait. :)

Always Liked Sutton
Good dependable pitcher, worked the plate, very consistent.
