Gameday is ready. I hope Tony Campana hits one off the flagpole and gets another inside-the-parker.

Is it sad im actually looking forward to tonight game? Have 2 bad teams facing each other. So Cubs could actually win. Plus i enjoy watching Garza pitch

[Uman85]

Anyone ever been to Minute Maid Park for a game? It looks like a pretty nice stadium to catch a game in.

Incredibly Nerdy Reference That Explains How I Feel About The Cubs Right Now (INRTEHIFATCRN)

I've decided to embrace my incredible nerditude here, and use various geeky diversions from my life to help me cope with this season. I have no idea how frequently I will post these, but I felt like sharing. Today I went with Star Trek:The Next Generation Episode 118 "Cause and Effect". In case you aren't nerdy enough to know exactly what I am talking about you can read a summary here. I chose that episode since it is a personal favorite of mine, but also due to the content of the episode. The episode involves the Enterprise being stuck in a time loop with the Enterprise being repeatedly destroyed as each loop ends. I think you can see where I am going with this. This is the mental image I have of the Cubs season right now:

I was going to suggest Groundhog Day.

I was going to suggest Groundhog Day.

Not nerdy enough...

[Rice Cube]

Not nerdy enough...

Great movie though.

I remember this fine October day in 1908...the sun was shining, the Cubs had won the World Series, and I met this beautiful girl and we made love by Lake Michigan. Why couldn't I get that day over and over and over again?

[Rice Cube]

Dammit! Bryan LaHair remembered he was Bryan LaHair!

Nice AB though.

[dabynsky]

Cardenas did a nice job there, and hit the ball hard. It should have been caught, but Cardenas gets rewarded for the nice at bat and solid contact.

[Rice Cube]

The legend of Koyie Hill smiles upon Cardenas by stranding him.

[Rice Cube]

Well, that sucked.

[Capt. Serious]

Astros lineup reminds of a quote in Major League, "who are these guys?"

Bryan LaHair ----> pumpkin

[Rice Cube]

Deep but playable. The story of this season.
