Drat, I can't see a game until Sunday
They seem to be on WGN less and less each year.
Down 1 I see at this point, let’s see if we can’t end this crappy losing streak. Dempster’s numbers are good thus far, and as long as they don’t bring the gas can in, I have faith.

How about some hard hit balls into the gap?

Wolf and 5 K's in 3 innings
“Watching” on Game channel isn’t the best. Wolf has 5 K’s already. Is he throwing BB’s for real or are the Cubs impatient tonight?
Too patient.

Man, the Astros are boiling my blood but they are hot and.....
our Cubbies are well….in one of those awful looking slumps…..man can this team look sooooo good and then turn around and look soooooo bad…….4 innings to go……
Astros played horrible last night.
The Cubs should have won that game on 5 occasions. That they didn’t… well… it doesn’t bode well.
Lou needs to shake things up in the next series. I am officially worried.
Of course, losing the division wouldn’t be terrible if we could get the WC – we could miss the snakes in that case. I want no part of them.

You might get some wind from Anna.
I went to the 1st game of the doubleheader in Atlanta. We could still score then.

Even if we don't win today, it sure beats watching
in September when they are not 25 games back.

Nats tied up the Phils
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."
tonight?

Dead ball era
The lowest league run average in history was in 1908, when only 3.4 runs were scored per game.
sigh
So Harden’s Hurt, Z’s Hurt, we got no offense, no pitching, No Bullpen. When did the clock go back to 2006?

Ugly.....just plain ugly offense.....possibly two shutouts in the last 3 games.....
where did this come from? Weren’t we just rolling a 7 game win streak last week? Hmmm…….never get to confident I guess……..

houston is playing well
and philly guessed right on the flex-strikezone
Well, so much for the shower changing the score....
Hey guys, it was supposed to be the Cubs that picked up a couple runs while I was gone…
BTW: we’ve got Comcast playing the blues during the intermission….that’s bad.
Ohh....They just said that Buddy Guy was doing the stretch tonight....
My bad….but fitting too.
Buddy Guy?

Buddy’s the one who lets you know that while you were slipping out, someone else was slippin’ in

Like the Braves-Marlins game today...

yeah, good history of the Cubs..
"Whoever wants to know the heart and mind of America had better learn baseball." - Jacque Barzun
And Dempster has put the first two on.....
maybe to spite the lame offense??? The ballpark is like a mortuary right now……and we gotta play these guys in Houston later (yikes)………
Don't get me wrong....
I hate the Astros. Not as much as the Cards, but pretty close. I hated Biggio et al in the past, but not because they were good, but rather because they were a*holes. I don’t get the hate for Pence (especially) and now Wolf. Are they being mickheads or are we just pissed because they are playing really well right now against our team?
Enlighten me.
"I'll be deep in the cold, cold ground before I recognize Missourah." - Abe Simpson
Hunter Pence just has that porn star name
Tejada’s been keeping the basepaths unclogged and Quintero seems to really like hitting in Wrigley this time around.
Other than that, I don’t think about the ’Stros too much.
Pence Is One Of These Guys Who
Doesn’t do crap but decides to turn it on against the Cubs. I have more respect for guys that suck all the time regardless of who they play against.
"Sometimes I feel like as a Cubs fan if I’m not worrying about something, I’m not doing it right." - HalfBlindCubbieGirl
The only
Stro I actively hate is Valverde… I also can’t help but think of Velveeta when I hear his name…
yes

Hate the Astros too!!!! Berkman......Pence....and freaking George H. Bush.....
with his wife at the home games……oh yeah, they also seem to beat us when we least need to get beat……
This isn't least need to
Least need to is one game away from elimination.
But yeah, I don’t like the astros
