I'm not one of the two "knuckleheads" you're talking about, but I sure as hell willbask in the "double victory" tonight.
Things are looking good. Let's keep it that way.Tonight was a nice simple win, and we got the main pen members some rest.
If Ike says to stop fighting, then I have nothing to do but stop fighting.
A late inning choke job indeed.Milwaukee with another loss today...COME ON CUBS!
The noose around the necks of the brew crew is damn close to suffocation tightness. Come on Cubs, let's not f-up the chance to creep within 1 game tonight.With a Cub win and a Padre loss we can be in the lead (or tied) as far as the wild card is concerned.Lets take care of the business at hand tonight Cubs !!
This is the the way I'm thinking every game. Thats why it hurts so much more when they lose now.A good old fashionedit is great to just go into every game thinking the Cubs SHOULD win.
tonight. Lost a big chance to gain ground tonight.
I hope so anyway. They are getting their ### handed to them again tonight. That would make 4 out of 6 on the down side if they can't turn it around in the next couple of innings.You know what? I'm not that disappointed. Pick up a game every series? I'll take that any day. But Ike's right, though. I think we forget that, you know, other teams can win as well.
Anyway, tough loss today. Offense has to get more consistent. But it's good to know we're a good team that will be in the race until season's end.
The Cubs did their part. If the Cardinals hold on (5-2 lead with two outs in the top of the 8th), we gain 1 1/2 games in a day.Thank You REDBIRDS
Brewers lose game 1 in the ninth.
Leading at one time 6-0.
Now damnit Cubs, lets get a W

1.5 back. What a great day.
's all the way around.
Tough schedule, but Brewers have same teams (reverse order)
Gulp
Let me get this straight, so no one is allowed to enjoy the baseball season until they win the world series ? That's the only time one can post on the message board ? WTF is the the basball forum for ?We are enjoying the season so far, who knows what the rest of the season brings. We'll enjoy it while we can.If you didn't want to read it, you shouldn't have opened up the Cub thread.The Cubs are only, what, 4 years removed from their last division title, so it is not like winning the Central would be some earth-shattering event. Let us know when they win or even make the World Series.Having said all of that, I think the Cubs will win the division this year, and this comes from a Cardinals fan.
Let's cease any hostility toward Ghost Rider. His team did help us out this weekend. Thanks GR!The Cubs are only, what, 4 years removed from their last division title, so it is not like winning the Central would be some earth-shattering event.

today, but I don't think anyone was beating Hamels last night. Just an incredible performance that I have to tip my hat to.
He made us look like little leaguers. I won't tip the hat though. I'm that bitter.I'm a little bittoday, but I don't think anyone was beating Hamels last night. Just an incredible performance that I have to tip my hat to.
Hitters made absolutely no adjustments to the changeup.
Their best pitcher had his best stuff last night. I don't feel bad about that loss at all.Night Hawks said:He made us look like little leaguers. I won't tip the hat though. I'm that bitter.I'm a little bit
I'll be relaxed and more ready to party when the Cubs move to 10 games over .500Is this where the party is?
All in all, not bad. It would have been nice to win today though. Just couldn't get enough clutch hits.Any Cub fans here worried about Jacque in CF ? He has misjudged (or lost) three fly balls in the last three games, all three IMO were catchable.That has got to stop. I'm worried every time a ball is hit his way now.I must say his bat has a little something in it lately though. Although I'd like to see some occasional power.Let's see if we can take two from the Mets. One is an absolute must.Can't win them all, I guess. Still a split with the Phils sets us up. Now two of three from the Mets and we have a great showing against two teams in contention.
The Cubs of the last few years would've folded after they were down 7-1. It was nice to see them at least make a game of it. Ohman looked horrible though -- I actually was hoping Piniella would take him out right before he gave up the big hit. It will be good to get Kerry Wood back.Also, did anyone find out about Cliff Floyd? Don't know if he was just taken out for defensive purposes, but the announcers made it seem like he might have hurt himself trying to leg out a grounder.Can't win them all, I guess. Still a split with the Phils sets us up. Now two of three from the Mets and we have a great showing against two teams in contention.
Been there for over forty years. I'm well aware of it.
Piniella told the announcers he was going to use Wood, but he didn't. Maybe tomorrow.Kerry Wood to see action sometime in the next inning or so.
