Notes
W

please win cubs....I don't want to go to 0-5

[IbreakNeckZ101]

yes cubs need a win for I Am A Witness.

[Cav-Titan-Cub]

Let's go Cubbies...get "I Am A Witness" to 1-4.

[Posey H8er]

Lets go Cubs. Take the series.

[SportsWorld]

Last time we faced Petit we made him look like Cy Young.
We will probably do the same this afternoon but boy would I love to have a 1.5 or 2.5 game lead in the division going into the Brewer series.

[Gordon Bombay]

i think the cubs just hate pie.....monroe against a righty?

[GYBE]

This is (Please Use More Appropriate Word). When we acquired Monroe I thought it was almost exclusively to pinch-hit, he's not a good player.

And DeRosa AND Kendall getting days off? The offense will suck even more.

[SportsWorld]

Theriot with a leadoff walk.
Time for the rally killing double play by Jacque

[SportsWorld]

Theriot to 2nd on the error by Connor Jackson!

[GYBE]

I'm eating a chocolate chunk Drumstick...it's insanely good.

[SportsWorld]

Theriot scores on ANOTHER error by the D'bags.
Jones to 2nd.
1-0 Cubs!

[GYBE]

LOL, what was he doing?

[SportsWorld]

Aramis grounds out.
Jones scores.
Cubs lead 2-0

[SportsWorld]

Finally a home run!!!!
Cliff Floyd!
Cubs lead 3-0

[SportsWorld]

And Monroe hit it to that little corner just missing a home run.

[SportsWorld]

And Chris Young pwns Jason Marquis.
3-1

[Howling Mad]

Sup fellas...

It better not be 3-3 by the end of the inning.

[GYBE]

Huge DP.

[SportsWorld]

Big DP right there for Marquis.
We need him to settle down.
