    they have been clicking all year, numbers don't lie.
    and they are now playing like a well oiled machine.

    its a joy to watch.

    That was great!!! I will be there Sunday also. Hopefully Big Z will have one of those special starts since he is due. Too bad it will still be AUG on Sunday and this is not his month.

    This team just doesn't quit. Down 4-1 in the 8th and they come back to win, again.

    That grandslam was a fucking BOMB! I jumped 10 feet off the couch right when it hit the bat.

    Interesting to see the former A's rotation guys going at it. I think Zambrano has Moyer. Forget who is matched up with Lilly.

    I caught the last few innings of the game last night, and WGN said that homer was 389 feet. That's gotta be wrong, right? I mean, that's a flyball to the warning track, not 10 rows up. Although a lot of flyballs turn into homers in that stadium... ;)

    WOW, Dick Stockton has got to be the worst commentator in sports. Why are we stuck with this moron doing our games on NATIONAL TV? Game is only in the 6th inning and he already has said Zambrano will be starting for the Phillies tomorrow, Really? That's interesting when did he get traded? He also said DeRosa was heading to 3rd when Fukudome was going to third on a single (I believe those were the two players, could be worng, but I know he said the wrong players name). Then the best one was with two strikes on a Phillies batter Lilly hits the batter and Stockton shouts "Strike 3" pauses and then says "no he hit him". What a joke. Get this guy in the retirement home where he belongs and not in the booth.

    I still don't know why they didn't send Theriot (or was it DeRosa...either way). I know they try to hold the guy at 3rd with 0 outs, but the center fielder pretty much walked up to the ball and it wouldn't have been close.
    Sure enough, 1st and 3rd 0 out and we get nothing!

    Tough game today. I'm glad Lou rested Z because his arm has looked a bit tired of late. We're going to need a fresh Z coming down the stretch!

    Heard Zambrano has dead/tired arm, and they are putting Harden off until the Cards series. Hopefully they get well before the playoffs!

    NLCS is Oct 9th, 10th, 12th, 13th,15th,17th an 18th.

    WS is Oct 22nd, 23rd, 25th, 26th, 27th, 29th, 30th.

    If the Cubs are in the WS they will be playing 25th, 26th, 27th. All subject to change of course.

    We need our bats to get us there and they were no where to be found this weekend. What a bummer driving to the game on Sunday hearing the Big Z was not pitching. Lets get them tonight Z!!!
