Cubs Win! Cubs Win!

How 'bout those NL Central Champion Chicago Cubs?

I predict the Cubs over Atlanta in 5.

And remember, before there was "Holy Cow", there was "Hey Hey"

And Congrats to Ron Santo in honor of the retirement of his number 10

So the Cubs win - big deal. Oh, wait, that IS a big deal.
Congratulations to the Cubs. I guess I'be always been more of a Cardinals fan (they're only 60 miles away) but the Cubs are a close 2nd. It's great to see a team with such devoted fans win the division. And remember where your "Holy Cow" came from - the Cardinals' Harry Carey.

I knew the cubs would beat my Stros...but they have teh same curse they both suck in stressful games....Cubs will win one game against Atlanta....Anyway good luck I will cheer the Cubs on (gotta stick with the NL Central winner)

Well, they're now 1 & 1 and playing in the windy city. Maybe the weather will be cold enough that the the braves won't be so brave and buckle under the frost at wrigley.
Go Cubs!

Chicago takes a 2-1 lead on a game that saw four errors by Atlanta. I don't know that any of Chicago's runs were earned. Castilla was doing that "Ole" crap at third base for Atlanta. Oh well; it's a win.
Mark Prior displayed excellent pitching skills. My only thought on that is: who is Chicago going to trade him to?
Go Cubbies.

Get your goatees on for today's game. I predict a victory. Bad news is, I won't be around for the damn NLCS. Damn Germans....

[dmsmith]

The goatee gets shaved!

Wow, not a good day today.....

Get men on base, and hit into a double play

Watch the good pitches go by and swing at the bad ones

Let's watch Wood do it again tomorrow!

maybe you Cub fans better tell Sosa to run instead of standing at home plate admiring a pop up how many triples could he have had that were doubles cause he did his hop before the ball hit the wall instead of going over.

Good luck youse guys, but atlanta 4-3

Time to go Marlin fishing!!!!!

Hey Hey!!!!! Cubs 5, Atlanta 1

As predicted, Cubs over Atlanta in 5

Now the prediction is the Cubs over Florida in 6

3 down, 8 to go in Cubtober

Noticed quite a few Cubs fans in that Atlanta stadium last night. I listened to it 720 AM.
I'll bet those 95 year old Cub Fans are doing the dance today.
Go Cubs.

Cubs cant win

Sounds like somone whose team fizzled out at the end of the season and decided to go home for the winter

the Cardinals new motto....WAIT TIL NEXT YEAR

But congrats on getting a grant this year!

Mike Lowell wins for the Marlins.....or was it the CURSE

[ChiefReason]

What curse?

You know; I don't like to be a Monday morning quarterback, but I have to question the decision not to start Prior. The offense displayed by the Cubbies last night would have been more than enough to win behind Prior's pitching.
Need this one tonight. Anyone heard who's starting?

Sloppy Start....

The Cubs tried trading for Mike Lowell right around the All Star break, but Florida wouldn't give him up. Smart move on their part. Give Florida credit, they came back with a vengence, and after the third inning it turned out to be a pretty good game. FL's Alex Gonzalez came up with 2 great plays at shortstop which probably saved the game for them.

Mark Prior(18-6)goes against Brad Penny(14-10)tonight. I thought Prior would start last night too, but I guess Dusty had other ideas. Wood and Clement are supposed to go in games 3 and 4 in FL.

Maybe we should be in the Crusty chat room tonight for some play by play analysis?
