Cubs game is on Fox. go Jenkins less Phillies.

[craigharmann]

Go Phillies! Beat the Cubs!! Then the Brewers need to win!

[craigharmann]

I hate the Cubs (Soto drives in DeRosa)

[trwi7]

The Cubs are getting all the breaks right now. Howard was safe yesterday which would've given the Phillies a 3-2 lead and Fukudome was clearly out but was called safe.

i am thinking i rather have the Cubs win because i rather see the phillis drop out of the WC spot

J.C. Romero is lucky he wasn't facing the Cardinals there. Albert Pujols would've yelled at him.

I'm torn on this. I mean, if the Phils can beat the Cubs in both games this weekend and we sweep, we'll still be 5.5 up on the Phils and "only" 4.5 back of the Cubs. We'd still be a long shot to win the division, but with 6 games left against the Cubs, we'd still have a chance.

 

At the same time, I wouldn't mind putting the Phils way back in the rearview mirror.

Hell of a pitcher's duel in Houston.

[jeffh]

Houston takes the lead 6-3 bottom1

[Vgmastr]

Houston scores 6 in the first without making an out.

[splitterpfj]

Wow, six batters, six runs. It's a bad day to be Braden Looper.

[hawing]

Houston scores 6 in the first without making an out.

 

How dare they? Have they no respect for the game?
