The Giants are super hot coming into this series. But the Cubs are super hot if you count the sixth, seventh, eighth, and ninth innings of yesterday's game only.

Well much like success in the playoffs relates to playing well in September, the Giants should be terrified coming in to Wrigley after the last few innings the Cubs have had.

1-0 Cubs. Nice SB and hustle to cross the plate.

[cubmig]

just came in and on the game. How did the Cubs score their 1st run?

[Cubbie Blues]

Mather walked
Vitters struck out
Rizzo struck out
Mather Stole 2nd
Soriano Singled and Mather scored with a play at the plate, Soriano took second on the throw.
Castro lined out.

[Cubbie Blues]

Long ball from Sori!!! 3-0 Cubs!!!

[cubmig]

Are the phones ringing in the FO to ask if Soriano is "available"? lol

[cubmig]

Thanks for the info Cubbie Blues.....Soriano is the driver today it seems.....GOOD!

[Cubbie Blues]

Oh, heck yea. 2 more runs.

[cubmig]

3rd inning and Baumgarner @ 72! And he's getting plastered! CASTILLO -- flying like a bullet in motion around the bases! Hope the lead holds for a win!

[TWC]

It's shocking to see Bumgarner struggle against the Cubs. He's killed us the last couple times we saw him -- and I was there both times.

[TWC]

er... last three times, I think.

[cubmig]

Baumgarner may recover and pitch decently the rest of the way (however long that may be). The question, it seems to me, will be: Will Volstad stay good enough to keep the Giants two or three runs back? We'll see. They are already on the board......

What the fuck? Did Moreland just say "bitchin'" in reference to the Giants post All-Star Break record?

[cubmig]

.....a healthy tendency observed: Vitters is smacking the ball with solid contact. Now if he call only line it where they ain't.......
