I guess I'm pretty close to feeling the same way. I look at it like we have an 8 game lead to make the playoffs, and then lets roll the dice. But to shutem both down, that's a bit risky. But hey, the news coulda been worse. But either way, I get the feeling that at some point, Big Z gonna have somesurgery at some point. Dude has been a horse for 5 years, that wear and tear take effect after a while. Hope he can at least give us one good run in Oct andsee how it plays out.

^ Like Dempster said, we're not going to lose every game in September. Every team goes through this, it's just that we're the Cubs, plus thatit's September, multiply that, and it's intensely magnified.
Yesterday, my posts was all emotion and added with the worried possibility that Big Z was done for the year.
Sometimes, I do worry too much. I think we'll be fine. And shutting down Z only(Harden was optional, he says he can handle the work load. I trusthim.......so far), will prove to be beneficial come October.
(we have to think ahead now. If we only think about today, meaning the injury toll, it will only make matters worse. and yes that dreaded word that starts witha C, is on my mind, but our team just had to right the ship and weather this storm. it will only prove how good we really are)

Astros MIGHT actually have a shot at this thing.
Though far fetched, if they make a run like the Rockies did last year.....
*crossing fingers*

It's a rough stretch, everyone has theirs, we should be ok. If the Reds sweep us, THEN I find a bridge.
Up there in Wisconsin, there more worried about their cheesehead Packers now than the Beer Makers.
At least over here in Chicago, we don't have to worry or look forward to the dreadful Bears coming this Sunday. I don't know if that's a good thingor bad.

^ agreed, Bears will get spanked Sunday night.
As for Zambrano, I almost wish they'd rest him for more than 2 starts. I am hoping 3. We need Z fresh.
I hope we get off the schniede tonight. In the words of Al Davis, just win baby! The Brew Crew should win tonight vs the lowly Padres - they got CC going....

Well........I was hoping that this would be a game that Lilly would step up since he's like our last healthy starter, and make something happen.......heis.......he's making the Reds score a lot of runs. !*#*%@%**@$*
And now he's outta the game in the top of the 3rd inning. Way to come thru Lil.
