Let's get the Magic Number to 13!
who’s the random Cubs numbered 13?

The next two weeks
I can only watch TWO Cubs games…yikes. Less Comcast, more WGN!
Looking at the score, Lilly has been fantastic. Things are looking good thus far, just for the love of god don’t put Howry in. I don’t know Lilly’s pitch count, so I don’t know if he can go all 9.

Yeah, but the Cubs are under .500 on WGN
and something like 51-19 on Comcast. Get thee to a bar or somewhere to see the Comcast games.

Nah. The best bet would be the bowling alley
Which has a ton of TV’s, but they usually seem to keep all of them on one or two games. I bet if I went there right now, most of the TV’s would be either Tigers or whatever national game was on.

the 21 thing could be trouble.
don’t want to miss the playoffs because you’re in jail. I’d recommend a BW3 – I don’t think you have to be 21 to get in.

Lilly did what he needed to tonight; I think Lou wants Kerry to get a chance at redemption. We will be depending on him being damn near perfect here on out.

6. Milton will make an appearance tonight.
Should I predict again tomorrow???

1 earned run, no XBH, a poor bottom of the 9th
Except for Ted, I’d say that was the book-definition of a butt-ugly win.

yeah, i want wood confident, BUT, with Lilly CRUISING in a CRITICAL game, only 90 pitches, why on EARTH would you take him out, just to be cute? I’d akin this to like, the Colts taking out Peyton Manning in a game with a 7 point lead and 5 minutes left to put in the backup QB

to get Woody work.
He needs to work. He’s like Marmol. You can’t just let Woody sit and then throw him in where it’s really critical. You get what happened yesterday.

I remember the game where Cole Hamels pitched at Wrigley in August, where he was crusing through 7 innings. And he ran out of gas after something like 95 pitches.
It happens. This is why bullpens down the stretch are so vital to playoff worthy teams

It goes in the right column and it comes at a good time. The W represents an incremental achievement in route to the ultimate cub fan and player destination.
We will not be denied this achievement any longer. God will not stand for it. His will be done.
Now roll up some shirts and kick some ass and show your opponents that if you want some real estate, like home plate, you are just going to knock his ass out of the way whether he wants to you have it or not….
You are going to lay off the low outside sliders and quit trying to pull them which results in a 5-4-3 DP. No you’re going to go with the zen flow of the pitched ball and doop a little single just in front of the right fielder whose playing too deep.
We are not going to leave our players stranded on base at the end of an inning. they are going to score or get put out on steals or hit and runs or delayed steals or double steals or whatever it takes to manufacture some runs. And we are going to win two/thirds of our remaining games.
And untimately, we will leave a path of pain, disappointment and broken bats over the course of eleven lost games for our series of opponents to contemplate over the winter.

Lilly pitched a gem. Some fresh blood in the lineup did wonders.
I just looked at the standings, and I would be happy about where we are, except for the drama this last week and a half. Let’s pretend that we woke up here, and play the rest of them like we’re starting over. Good practice for the playoffs.
