Oh we are gonna win my man.......... I hope you are right.

Dammit, Frank missed it by about 10 ft. Game tied at 6 going to the 9th...it's CRITICAL that we keep them at 6.

Only if we can win the game...otherwise, it will be a waste. C'mon Frank!!!

HOLY s***!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rios draws a 1-out, 4 pitch walk. Tying run at the plate with Willie Harris.

I'm licking my lips at the thought of Alfonseca, hopefully for a good reason. Hopefully it's baseball-related.

I think we're the only 2, heh. Patterson swings at one eye level to end the inning. We'll have the heart of the order coming up 1 more time this game, and they've been swinging the bat well today. Let's hope for the best.

Judging by the lack of posts since the rain delay ended, I'm assuming most everyone has either given up or doesn't care anymore. But regardless, Marte comes in with a runner on 3rd w/ 2 out and walks the guy on 5 pitches. 1st and 3rd, 2 down.

Yep. I thought Jose's ball was gone. If BD can't come through (assuming they keep him in) this game's over.

Unbe-f***ing-lievable.

Dude try reading the power of now. I just read it recently, and its really opened my eyes.

Hopefully Zambrano will be replaced. He's pitched well the past few hitters. Also, the Cub bullpen has an ERA of 20+ in the last 3 games, so let's see if we can help them continue that trend.

The sun is out and the tarp is coming off. Hopefully we can use this break to regroup and come out and get some runs.

Rain delay.

People who don't care can't make it to the major leagues. And players who stop caring don't stay there long once they do.

I wouldn't say he looked the same as when he pitched against the Dodgers, because on that night he was amazing. Today he was horrible, but I think I understand what you're saying -- he's not going to show emotion regardless of how he's doing. I guess that means he doesn't care.

"His attitude"? Dude, the guy just has a dead arm. Hawk and DJ were just talking about it. Well, at least we better hope all he has is a dead arm. Hawk said a pitcher will suffer dead arm once during ST, and then 2 times during the season. Hawk pointed out that Colon has 5 CG's, and he HAS pitched a ton of innings over the last month. I think they should skip his next start and let his arm recover. We need Colon to be dominant in order for us to compete for the division. If nothing else, we should get him right so we can showcase him for the Yankees, Boston, Giants, etc in case we fall out of it and decide to trade him.

Something's gotta be wrong with Colon. That's 2 games in a row now where he seems afraid to throw the heater. That's never a good sign with a guy as dominant as Bartolo can be. What's with WGN always coming back late? It seems like 3 or 4 times a game we miss the first pitch of the inning.

Sosa offers at the first pitch by White, and he gets jammed and flies out to Lee. Nice pitch by Rick. He minimizes the damage, and the Sox now trail it 6-4.

DJ is the one that said it may have been detrimental. I disagree -- you run hard all the time regardless of the situation.

Memo to Cub infielders -- it would be helpful to yell out to your 2B that THERE'S A 225 POUND MAN SNEAKING UP BEHIND HIM TO TURN A SINGLE INTO A DOUBLE. Beautiful baserunning by the Sox. 2nd and 3rd, 1 out for Jose.

I don't understand. 2 weeks ago, Bartolo BLEW BONDS AWAY 3 times in a row with fastballs right down the middle. Bonds has maybe the quickest bat of this generation. But he's throwing changeups to Moises Alou, and it gets the bases loaded, and now a basehit puts the Cubs ahead 5-4. I don't understand.

2 out walk to Sammy puts runners on 1st and 2nd w/ 2 out for Alou. There was talk that Bart's finger was injured -- was there any truth to that? And if so, is it something that's still bothering him?

That sucks. You should get some form of digital cable. Almost all of them have WGN. Patterson just missed hitting a 2-run bomb. Now we've gotta get Sosa. 2 outs, runner on 1st in the 5th.

I wish that chick would have been wearing a white shirt instead of a black one.
