Heads up JR. Cubs/Astros WGN. Tonight 7:05pm CST. :wtg:

Man, do we need a win tonight!

Yeah, it's do or die time. Hopefully Lou gets them back on track, I'd hate to see it slip away now.

Wow! Was Bartman or the Goat in the crowd. :headache:

*Look at the RL Cubs tonight though. Good thing the Brew Crew got destroyed today.

Cubbies living on a little luck right now. Piniella better get their heads out.

Now, lets see a sweep of the Rocks....

I hear ya, Bronx, but I had no choice. Their stamina was wiped from the 12 or so previous games, and it looked like they were hitting a whiffle ball against a 30mph gust. :)

I didn't want to, but I knew I had 4 games with the weaker Rockies, and as you said, looking for the sweep.

If they put it on me like Houston did in Game 3 of the last series, I'll even Fraps it for you. :rocklicker:

Excellent idea. Aim for the dome.

*EDIT*- BTW JR, I used your lighting tutorial and used it in my new game recaps, have you seen it yet?

Yep, I've seen it. Your dynasty improves every time I see it. Just remember, present it how you want to present it. :)

I just had to pop in to tell you what a great job you're doing, Joe. I lost 3 or so hours of my life reading through this thing in it's entirety. Every picture from game shot to box score is beautiful. And the interviews, as few as there ahve been recently, are all extremely well done. I'm really pulling for your guys in Colorado.

And on the topic of the game tonight, can someone please tell me why Lou continues to have big Z pinch hit? It was cute the first few times, but we have to have someone better on that bench.
