    On the bright side we havent lost 3 in a row all year so we have that streak to look forward to keeping

      Good Lord. Big Z better be okay. I don't like the way the last few days have gone.

      BTW, the Rays are for real. Not because they are beating the Cubs, but watching this team play, they have it all.

        Even championship teams go through rough periods, but over the past couple of weeks, the .300 hitters in the Cubs' lineup have disappeared.

        DeRosa, Soto, ARam, Lee, and Fukudome have all slid into the .280-.290 range. Our team BA is still likely among the tops in the Majors, but this trend is nonetheless real.

        I think our pitching might be okay...presuming Zambrano will only miss a week or two. I like Gallagher, and Lily, Dempster, and even Marquis seem to give us a decent chance to win every time out.

        Marmol has become hittable all of sudden...the bad inning against TB was not his first in a while...If it is mechanics, I hope the coaches pick up on it...if it is fatigue, I hope Lou picks up on it.

        That being said, Wood has really got himself together.

        It blows my effing mind that StL has been keeping pace with us thus far.

            Yes that was an awesome game. Lee and Ramirez hit some clutch bombs today. I was getting texts and phone calls all day at work from CWS fans taunting me so when I get home it's going to be me taunting them. The beer will taste much better at least for tonight.

            You're a classy fan hugger and yes hopefully the next 2 are just as exciting. I only mention the classy part because some of my friends are let's say a little over zealous with their CWS fandom.

              Ya Ram! Good job by the K-Man to get out of the minor jam in the top of the ninth. Good win.

                At the end of the day it's just baseball man....I like the good natured ribbing that goes with this series. It's when the booze gets involved that things tend to get ugly man

                These 2 always seem to play each other close no matter what!

                    The 4th inning was amazing, and you guys almost started something big in the 9th.

                        The thing that was frustrating was that he fell apart after only needing one more out. Marmol is also starting to worry me a little bit with his 3 walks today. His last two appearances have been awful.

                          I don't think the Cubs have a pitching coach.

                            Wow...we just had an utter *** kicking this weekend

                            If the NL wins the All Star game the Cubs win the World Series.

                            They are flat out invincible at home....

                              If this lead holds up they will be 32-8 at home, and they started out 0-2. Crazy. Great series.

                                Wow this was a great weekend! Ramirez is a Sox killer and continued his great success against them. The Cubs home record now moves to 32-8. That just doesn't look right typing that but it's true. Also Dempster is 9-0 at home this year. I still can't believe that this is the Ryan Dempster who used to piss me off so damn much. I'll enjoy this now but I know the Cubs will still have to go to the Cell where on the road the Cubs are a little less invincible. Hopefully, they take at least one there and I'll be happy.


                                Jistic, Howry actually retired 3 straight batters! Yay!
