The Bears have won their spectacle of a game in England this afternoon; now, a Rangers win over the Cardinals would make it just about a perfect day for Chicago sports fans.
Perhaps tonight, there won't be any egregiously bad umpiring calls, as there were in Game 3. Replay NOW!
Edwin Jackson will face Derek Holland in tonight's game. Full game details after the jump.
Game time for Rangers/Cardinals: 7:05 pm. CDT. Cardinals lead series 2-1. TV: Fox. Announcers: Joe Buck & Tim McCarver (get your mute button ready).

Go Cardinals
yes, I seriously am rooting for them to win. I said it before the series started, Cards in 6.

For some weird reason i find myself rooting for them too
… but every time i see ryan theriot i start rooting for the Rangers again. lol I still hate em bu I gotta give credit where credit is do tho, and wut the Cards have pulled off this year is really impressive. Maybe some day the cubs can make some october headlines that arent about GMs, getting swept or blowing a series.
I usually tend to root for the NL and I respect the Cardinals.
But I find myself doing the same thing..rooting for the Rangers when I see Theriot (or McGwire…he’s another one…ugh).
Dear Great Pumpkin, I am looking forward to your arrival on Halloween Night. I hope you will bring me lots of presents.
why? how can you have a cubs american flag as your avatar and be for the cards?
just truly, truly curious
BEAR DOWN!
I dont hate a team
i respect a rival.
also, my closest friend here in Austin, is from St Louis, once our respective team is out of it (NHL and MLB) we support the others team.

Thats cool
I hate the Cards but I can respect you cheering for a friends team.
"Keep pushin' til' it's understood. And these badlands start treating us good."
Eh.
I like Pujols and some other players on the team. I don’t care about the Rangers in the slightest. And would prefer the NL, and even NL central to win.
Tired of hearing how weak the central is.

that is the hardest part
but i cannot stand Hamilton for Texas, i hate seeing someone spoken of light a saint for no longer doing illegal drugs. he deserves to be treated just like a steroid user, since both are illegal narcotics.

Hamilton
So, you dislike more the way others view Hamilton, rather than Hamilton himself?
Good things come to those who wait... and wait....and wait.
GO RANGERS!
Any idea time of press conference Tuesday and if any will be broadcast live? Transcripts posted online?
I think Theo will lay out the future.
We'll miss you Big Boy. #10 for Hall of Fame.
I assume the n/c time will be announced Monday...
… and it should be broadcast live somewhere. Maybe even on ESPN or MLB Network, as it is a pretty big national story.

Please God, not the Cardinals.

I just remember the dreadful 05-06 years when we had to endure
White Sox and St .Louis championship seasons in back-to-back years.
BEAR DOWN!
Go other team!!!
If the Cubs still have a chance, no matter how small, it’s still Go Cubs, damn the math and pass the KoolAid.
Go Rangers!!
How can any of you call yourselves Cubs fans and root for the Cards?! Yuck. Isn’t that a rule?
Believe or Leave ~Cubswynn 9/9/2008
Agreed,
There are only two occasions where it is acceptable to root for the Cardinals.
1. If they are playing a team that the Cubs are involved in a pennant race with and the Cardinals are not involved in said race.
2. If they are playing the Yankees, creating a moral dilemma which I hope I never have to face.
agree to disagree
there is nothing wrong with rooting for any team once the Cubs are out of it.

This. A thousand times this.
Rooting for the Cards is not okay.

can't do it myself...
I hate the Brewers and Astros, as well… I wish them all nothing but miserable failure. Always. Forever.
its not for everyone
but that doesnt make it wrong to do

But it does not make it right either.
You can root for the Cards all you want, you have that right. I already stated that for me, the only time I could even think was if they were playing the Yankees in the series. Even then, I would not really know until the games started.
More like sad
And trying to figure out how they blew a sure thing. They were convinced, even in mid september, that they coudln’t lose.
Believe or Leave ~Cubswynn 9/9/2008
That's how much they've changed
Before 2004, they would have been convinced the Sox would have found a way to blow it.

Totally true
It was weird to have a bunch of Boston Fans tell me I was being a “pessimistic Cubs Fan” in retrospect.
Believe or Leave ~Cubswynn 9/9/2008
Not me.
Too many obnoxious White Sox fans in my neck of the woods.
Dear Great Pumpkin, I am looking forward to your arrival on Halloween Night. I hope you will bring me lots of presents.
Go Rangers!
BTW I just noticed the “Bleed Epstein Blue” graphic in the upper left-hand corner. Fantastic!
BEAR DOWN!
Thanks!
That went up during the wait. I’ll leave it up through Tuesday, then Theo gets to work.

I am so excited about Theo.
The Red Sox fans here are uniformly sad. It’s been a topic of much discussion at work, and everyone feels like the Cubs won on this one. :)
Believe or Leave ~Cubswynn 9/9/2008
Not really rooting for the Cards...
But I am rooting against the Rangers.
Tough choice since I live in Houston I can’t root for Dallas.
As a National League fan I can’t root for any team with a DH
I don't care who wins this...can't wait for Opening Day now.
I think I’ll have more patience with Epstein than I did with Ricketts seeing that he has proven himself already. Whatever he decides as far as players and manager will be alright by me. I feel like I’m a different fan than I was a month ago…I’ll let Theo and TR worry about the Cubs and sit back and enjoy the ride………….I think :)
GO CUBS!

There is no way that happens
and if it does I will retract all good will I currently have for the cubs future.

yep....I'd think there was a good reason.....as in "buying time" for someone better

...

It’s not that I disagree with this at all. But it’s just a different vibe now. A month ago this fan base was one that was pulling for an organization that looked like it was going absolutely no where. More importantly, it looked like they weren’t exactly doing much about it. I think the last few days have just been a giant shot in the arm to the Cubs and its fanbase.
BEAR DOWN!
I agree, and you exactly got the jist of what I meant :)

Barbara Bush was a big reason I voted for George the first.
She was pro-education and just gave the impression of being everyone’s grandma. How could you vote against grandma?
The "Where's the beef?" woman was hotter than Barbara Bush

I am not saying she was hot.
She was an impressive woman, and in reality the first woman usually gets more accomplished than the President. Think of Nancy Reagan’s war on drugs, pay attention to what their pet project is when you vote for the best of a bunch of bad choices for President.
he had daddy's money
no education needed

My sister is named Laura Bush
And my mom, at the time of the first Bush presidency, was Barbara Bush.
Hmm... Joe Buck drops a bombshell that the Cubs once had Josh Hamilton and no one has anything to say here?

I don't like bringing Holland back out for the 9th
I’d rather try to keep his pitches down so that he could start Game 7.

lets him get a standing ovation as he exits
no harm IMHO
