Must win. If we cannot beat Harang, we cannot win in the playoffs.

Rumor has it the wind is blowing out and it is very windy.
Advantage: Cubs

After last night's heroics I think Santo should be the regular 7th inning stretch guy for the rest of the season.
(personally I think he should be the full-time guy, we need an icon not the Naperville Girl's Golf team or whatever other rubbish "guest conductors" they throw in there)

Great game last night, very suspensful, but let's try to keep the games out of reach instead of all the late night heroics.

Hopefully we build on last night and continue our good play (or good luck?) as of late.
Cubs Magic number is 12

I like Murton hitting there, but wouldn't Lou want to put in Floyd (a lefty) against Harang (a righty)?

Maybe Floyd is still hurt from that foul ball he hit off his leg last night.

The wildcard will be tough because we are 5 back of the Padres in the loss column.
