[TURBO]

VERY big game today... I hate to say this about any game, but this is a MUST win in my opinion.

[TURBO]

No Beltran or Molina in the Cards line-up today...

 

GO CUBS!

[owbc]

I agree with turborickey--but the main reason it is close to a "must win" is the pitching matchup.

I agree with turborickey--but the main reason it is close to a "must win" is the pitching matchup.

 

as well as the cubs/cards pitching matchup. I don't think we can expect too much help from justin germano today, i don't care who is in the cards lineup.

 

I do wonder if Molina will miss a few more games, he got pulled mid-AB yesterday. that'd be nice.

[sdcheezhd]

Nats fans considered yesterday their must win with Gio going.

[pebadger]

End the lockout! Oh, wait . . .

[The stache]

Would be nice to get Weeks on in front of Braun.

[dlk9s]

That a way to get into the game with the home fans, ump! Gotta love human error. It's what makes the game beautiful, right?

[The stache]

Guess not.

[The stache]

Come on, Yo, get out of this.

[Taylor Blue]

Make up call!

[topper09er]

Weeks cant throw over the top to save his life but that barehand turn saved a run

[The stache]

That's a clown double play.

[dlk9s]

lol refs

lol umps

[The stache]

Would love a homer here just to say "Braun takes Wang deep".

[TURBO]

Need some runs, Gallardo is on the edge today, no way he wiggles out of another situation like the last 2...

[TURBO]

Make it hurt Rami!

[The stache]

Brauny with a double, let's get him in.

[The stache]

LUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUC!

[Vgmastr]

A Schafer/Gomez platoon looks really nice for next season.

[owbc]

First career double for Logan Schafer is a huge one!

[topper09er]

This has squeeze written all over it

[topper09er]

Lucroy ran home for way too long, come on as soon as Zim has it you are out get in a longer run down

[owbc]

The contact play is so moronic...although at least in this situation it only moves a runner from 2nd to 1st.
