As much as I’d like to see the Cubs rally late to win more games, it’s always appreciated when the game is essentially over in the first inning. Sammy looked as a good as he’s been in quite a while, and I hope that’s the start of a trend. Next home run at home ties him with Banks for most Wrigley HRs all time.
Looks like Maddux has 4 starts to get one more win.
You know who’s been awesome?

I have no idea what this means, except he’s probably on the playoff roster now. (Well, and small sample size is helpful – we’re talking 15 whole PAs here.) I know it’s not going last, but I’m not just happy he’s doing it for us.
I hope no one’s thinking Nomar was milking his injury now.
The way Mercker is pitching, thank god he’s got two days off. He’s got a nice ERA, but he’s not been doing his best helping other people keep their ERA down.
That might’ve been the last time we see Dempster out of the bullpen for a bit, because they’ve got to have an extra starter for next Monday’s DH, and I don’t know if they’ve got the confidence in Rusch. There’s been no reason given for why he’s been like he’s been, just an assumption that he’s returned back to expected Glendon Rusch levels. I don’t know Dempster will be any better, because he’s seemed to struggle the longer he’s been in a game.
SERGIO is probably not even being considered.
Makeup game with little prior announcement
08/30 PHI @ CHW: 5,747
09/13 MON @ FLA: 4,003
The game officially out drew MON @ MIN (06/16, 3,756).
They’ll probably draw less today.
No one’s ever more annoyed the PA guy when he has to warn the fans to stop or they’ll forfeit the game.
Personally my guess is even Arsenal doesn’t think NOMAH~! is worth $17M. Too bad. Now Mia will have to go on food stamps ;-)

The Cub’s…….Sammy has to get on a TERROR for the cubs to keep the wild card hopes alive but the way Prior and wood is pitching it is kinda scary to me…I Live in southern Illinois about 90 miles east of St. Louis where there is Nothing but Cardinal fans but I am originally from the Kankakee area which is 60 miles south of chicago. All I know is that I have been a cub fan for well im 41 so I will say at least 34 years lol….I Remember the days of ernie banks, Billy Williams, Don Kessinger, Glen Beckert.. They might not of won a pennant for quite some time but those still were the days… Any ways I HOPE the cubs can hang in there and be a contender for the wild card cause lord know’s I want them to take the Cardinals OUT!!! Thx for reading… Kenny… AKA [GTK]Smoke
well that would have to take place in the NLCS, since they can’t meet up in the DS.
