BEAT L.A.!

Woo playoffs! The first game is the most important game of the series. The Cubs need to get off to a winning start.

Cubs have never hit Lowe in the past. Now would be a good time to end this trend.

this one wil be about 5:30 central time correct? gunna be a pitchers duel

go cubbies!!!!!! hopefully this week of inactivity wont come back to bite us

Where is BEP with our playoff gear? United we stand, divided we fall.

lol Peter Gammons said the Dodgers are the team to beat in the NL

here's to hoping dempster DUMPS all over petey's predictions!

We've been the class of the NL all season. Just gotta go out there and remind people.

GOT TO take control of the series right away. Dempster just needs to pitch his game and we should be fine. its going to be a fun series.

GO CUBS

dempster at hone, i like it

GO CUBS

i'm not feeling too good about this series... Dodgers have played us hard.. now they got the X-factor manny ramirez.. it's gonna be real hard to beat them.. but we put ourselves in this situation when we let the brewers beat us..

whose excited!

whose nervous?
I swear to God if Howry enters a close game I am going to go crazy.

**** you TBS

The second game will feature the NL West Division Champion Los Angeles Dodgers traveling to the Windy City to face the NL Central Division Champion Chicago Cubs at 6:30 p.m. ET. Dick Stockton (play-by-play), Ron Darling (analyst),Tony Gwynn (analyst) and Sports Illustrated baseball senior writer Tom Verducci (reporter) will call the game.

The Cubs have lost 6 straight games when this joke of an announcer is calling our games.

Love how Milwaukee gets Brian Anderson (FSN Wisconsin)

So 8 think the Cubs will win and of course the one dude that looks like Jay Mariotti goes Dodgers.

lmao at Jay Mariotti.. anyways this picture looks oddly similiar to last year vs Arizona.. everyone picked the cubs.. unfortunetly we got swept.

Yeah but last year we weren't suppose to win. This year we're expected to win it all or at least get to the WS.

This years team is much better than last years disappointing Cubs. Although Lilly and Hill were great in the regular season last year, they were not the best guys in a short playoff rotation. Zambrano's loss put us in a hole right away and we had to win the next game on the road which was a tough task. Now this year we have 3 legitimate aces with the first two games at Wrigley. Things should be different.

Lilly pitching on the road in Dodger Stadium is huge for us because of the home runs he has given up this year.

the key to this series will be keeping the bases empty when man ram comes up to bat... Solo homers are not a big problem, grand slams are
