I know we have homefield locked up but I still think it's a very important start for Z tonight. He did pitch the no hitter but besides that he's gotten roughed up lately. Having him pitch a good outing would be very reassuring heading into the playoffs.

Back to Back no-no's for Big Z, then he shuts it down till the playoffs?!?!? PLEASE!!?!?!?
??? He pitched the no no then got shelled his next outing, not even 2 IP in his start after the no no.

Ah, your welcome Brewers fans. No talking shit about the Cubs this year, AT ALL! Talk about choke city, your 07 and possibly now 08 Mets.
To my Cub fan friends, not a good outing by Z, plus Jeff didn't look to good either, which gives me a big concern come the playoffs.
Anyone else watch the game on ESPN and hear Sutcliffe's story about Bill Murray from a game back in 89 at Shea? Absolutely hillarious!!

Hear hear.....Let's just be friends through the rest of the weekend. I wouldn't mind you guys beating the Mets, either now or whenever the game is played, and as well as the Brewers.
EDIT: Did not know you were a Brewers fan......Boo to you sir! I MEAN I LOVE CHICAGO! Let's go Cubs in both series!!
howry SuckS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! no playoff roster for him please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11
like a dog chasing a car, I do not know what i would do with it if i caught it----Joker
I'd much rather the Mets get in, I want NY in the 1st round.

this is scary. who do we use in the 7th inning? Samardzija (sp?) ... a guy who is in his first year in the bigs? Gaudin hasn't been getting it done either. My vote would be for Sean Marshall and Samardzija splitting time... and it would be perfect if the starters could go 7 innings so we don't have to worry about it.
Everything not forbidden is compulsory and eveything not compulsory is forbidden. You are free... free to do what the government says you can do.
remember when i liked the cubs, well i don't either...c'mon you threw your crap against the mets give us the same crap. if we win we win.
We more than did our part. We took 2/4 and got you tied in the wild card now, it's on you now.

Agreed, the only bullpen guys I feel confident with in the playoffs are Marmol and Wood. Hopefully the starters can go 7.

Your starters aren't going seven in this series, except maybe Marquis, the others are on 75-80 pitch counts. Of course that would be par for the course for Dempster on the road. Either way, you did do half of your part, and the Brewers did theirs, so it really just comes to winning three games behind the three s's.

In regards to our pitchers going seven so we don't have to use Bob Howry... We were talking about the playoffs!!! In fact, I hope we do pitch Howry and Gaudin against the Brewers cause these guys need some work.

OMG I could not hate Jason Marquis more. Way to win the game for Lilly, asshole! He pitches a no-hitter into the 7th and Marquis goes ahead and fucks it up. I hope he doesn't make the post season roster!
*~*I wish I was the full moon shining off a Camaro's hood*~*
Come on man! We threw the Iowa Cubs out there this afternoon and the Brewers still cant get it done. The Brewers do not deserve to play in October the way they have played the last 3-4 weeks. Maybe CC should pitch everyday.... Thanks for the BP today Sheets.

On Monday though, it's back to rooting for whoever the Cubs play against.
