5:37 CDT first pitch at Wrigley Field in Chicago!
Dempster vs. Lowe. Line-ups will be announced soon.
Now today I'm posting the live thread a little early, because I have some work responsibilities coming up around the start of the game. And after that (depending on how much of the game is left) I may head to a bar that carries the game, so I can watch it. (We're getting cable installed at our house on Friday.) But please, carry on here with or without me!
GO CUBS GO!
A lot better than it was two seasons ago isn't it?
GO CUBS GO!!!

Go Dodgers.

BOOO!!!
Go JUMP IN THE LAKE, Dodgers!
Nah. I’m an Astros fan. We stunk it up this year ... but I always enjoy watching the Cubs derail in the playoffs. Padres and Steve Garvey. Santo and the Black Cat. Marlins and the Mark Prior/Steve Bartman meltdown. They always find a new and creative way to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
Ha!

Two ex-Yankee managers doing battle!
.... and in New York.

I guess he's trying to get rid of the Billy Goat curse.
Go Dodgers!!!
I’m listening to the game on the radio. I had totally forgotten how atrocious the Cubs broadcasters are. How embarassing.
let’s go CUBS!!!!
Black cat was in '69 at Shea, before playoffs started. They did sink in the standings after that though.
Way to start the game DeRosa!!!
Hey friend, thanks for the ping.
DEEEE ROOWWWWWWWW sends one into the seats, two run homer, scoring EDMONDS....2-0 CUBS!
That’s what we need, the lead and early!
exactly my friend!
Thanks Charles
Go Cubs Go
True enough. The Miracle Mets.
H
Uh-ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
Grand Salami, Dodgers.
Ya think that LOU would yank Dumpster by the neck OUT of this game BEFORE he walks two and serves up a tater for a grand slam?? Freakin’ Dumpster can’t find the k-zone with a beachball...SEVEN WALKS and finally the Bums knock him out...what a HORRIBLE start.
Dumpster throws five games in September and had seven walks in FIVE Games, tonight he blew it big time/.
Not Demp’s best night.
Settle down, GRRRRR...
This team will come back.
De-Ro’s my Hero!
No they’re going to get swept in three games like last year. A bunch of f’ing losers. Why not just forfeit the playoffs?? They can celebrate their stupid division title ever year. Eyes roll.
ahhhh, go watch the Mets er sumpthin’ this here’s important!!
Go CUBS!!
Ummm Cubs = losers. I’m not sure why I’m drawn to them. They’re a bunch of losing losers who cannot even win against a pitiful team like the Dodgers. I cannot wait to watch Zambrano self-destruct and give up fifty runs tomorrow. Yes.. I’m a fan, but I also understand that this is the Cubs. Chicago has a bunch of loser sports teams. The only team that was any good was the MJ Bulls. Every other one = disappointing (even the Ditka Bears).
The Cubs have had enough baserunners but have not gotten them home.
Very weird. So unlike Dempster.
Now it's 6-2 in the eighth. Yikes.
This game is over...we got idiot SorryAno swinging at crap in the dirt all over and Fukudome is 0 for the summer and STILL Lou plays him. D. Lee, Rami...ALL of ‘em are unable to hit the ball.
This is NOT what we expected tonight...
I’m going to bed.
I know that feeling. I'm a Mets fan.
Really thought they would put a run together 2 years ago, but that damn baserunning mistake really took the wind out of their sails...after that it was good game, good series...
Nice to see a different start this year! Unlike '04 and '06
Bottom of the 9th. We need a rally, Cubbies!!
Tomorrow is another day. . . .
Now in the can! Nice!! No sweeps this year, not this series...unless they’re the sweepers heh.
Cub fans are arragant, obnoxious SOB’s. I agree with Obama on one issue. If I lived in Chicago I’d probably be a White Sox fan. They seem more real. Cub fans are just a bunch of diva wannabees.
Hey, I resemble that remark!
No unfortunately it isn’t. Considering the way that Zambrano is pitching, there’s going to be another crap sandwich of a game tomorrow. I’m thinking 12 or so runs by the Dodgers. The Cubbies should just the forfeit the rest of the series and start their vacations early. As long as they’re in Chicago, they’re going to fall apart in the playoffs. Perhaps when Mark Cuban buys them and moves the team to Charlotte or somewhere similar they’ll start winning World Series every year. Cuban can then turn the land around Wrigley into luxury condos (Wrigley’s land value is the only thing valuable about the Cubs).
Aren't you a ray of sunshine?
Actually most Chicagoans don’t like the Sox because they just don’t want to go to a dangerous area for a baseball game. Wrigley is in the middle of an upscale residential area and US Cellular is in the middle of the ghetto. I’m sure that the Messiah, unlike your average Joe fan, feels safe going there because he’s surrounded by Secret Service agents. But the rest of us don’t want to deal with the thugs and drunks in the stadium or riding the EL through a pretty dangerous area at 10 PM at night.
Also, the Sox suck more than the Cubbies this year (neither team should be in the playoffs BTW), which is why nobody cares that they made it.
I remember 2003. Plus, Zambrano has been sucking as of late. His last two starts were horrendous. Since the Cubbies believe that the end of the regular season is the championship, they should just celebrate early and respect their fans enough to not have them spend money on playoff tickets.
‘05 White Sox..dominated playoffs!!! enough said. Might we see a repeat?
No... that White Sox team had good pitching, timely hitting, and good defense.
This White Sox team can hit home runs once and awhile and only got in because they were the least suckiest team in a sucky division. They’ll probably be swept by the Rays, who will in turn get swept by the Red Sox. The Red Sox and their obnoxious fans in Boston will win another series... eyes roll. They’re worse than the Yankees now.
Great art work.
Dempster!!
Hello? Anybody there in Chi-town tonight? LOL.
GO DODGERS!! WOOO HOOO!!!
Thanks, Boston Blackie.
And special thanks to James Loney!!
Go James. I saw what the RedSox did to the Angels, didn’t bother me a bit...:-).
