Cubs should try and win this game

More important that Harden has a good start and shows that he has control.

Hopefully they will get in 5 innings

Is Pedro throwing Major League pitching?

Cause if he is…Pie won’t be able to hit it…or so I hear.

Totally agree with you

Can’t see Ward doing that right now

by cubsonWGN4ever on Sep 25, 2008 6:15 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

You're wrong.

Ward will be on the post season roster, not Hoff. One HR doesn’t change that.

If he has a hot week

He’ll make it over Ward. Lou plays the hot hand. Always. Would love to see Ward on the bench as an additional hitting coach.
