Screw the Cubs!! They spoiled a great day for me yesterday. I don't know why I even bet the Cubs. For or against it seems like I always lose with those bastards. I'm sure everyone has a team like that. Funny story is I did bet the CWS on Saturday. I decided to change things up so I put on my Cubs hat and T-shirt and watched the game. Reverse physchology on the Cubs and it worked!! I would have wore a CWS hat and shirt last night but I don't own one. lol

All that being said...I "think" the Cubs win today! BOL Mr. Rogers!

The Cubs have a predominantly right handed line-up.

The reason Zito has been as bad as he's been is because he can't get right handed batters out.

The Cubs could score 8 runs by themselves.

thanks guy...bol

CarolinaKid · Jun 30, 2008

IMO 6 runs will be the max in this game tonite.....ck

Ramirez is out for the Cubs. Took a leave of absence for family issues. SF or nothing with the Cubs traveling after a emotional series. Cubs are really banged up, but Reed Johnson and Zambrano will be back for St Louis.

SF Big for me

Cubs RL for me, but I'm not that confident. I'm expecting the Cubs to be ready to play after getting embarassed by the White Sox this weekend and will fade Zito till he can win a home game.

Night game and then west coast game could effect them early so thats why it is only a 1 unit play. Giants are 0-8 this year with Zito starting at home with every loss being 2 runs or more.

I wish Ramirez was starting, but I still like the Cubs.

MrRogers · Jun 30, 2008

yeaaa...not taking the rl...sticking with ml and under

bodyforlife · Jun 30, 2008

Sure wish I could figure out why you guys like the under so much. Gary Darling umping (11-5 to the over). Zito is pathetic at home (last 3 starts = 5 runs in 2 innings, 4 runs in 5.2 innings, and 5 runs in 4.1 innings). Lilly's been solid on the road and usually pitchers fly one day ahead of the team so he should be rested. I can only guess that you don't think the Giants will score and that the Cubs are tired from their road trip?
