Houston is killing me. They keep winning. They are going to have to hit a losing spell sometime soon. The Cubs are 12-4 in September for the first time in along time. The White Sox better hurry up and get there act together tonight or they are going to go 2 games out of first.

Luckily, they (Houston) still have to play the Cardinals again, which may help. Both the Cubs and the Astros are playing great baseball right now. The doubleheader with the Pirates Friday is crucial for the Cubs.......JMJ

The Yanks are in cruise control. The magic number is at 7. See ya in the playoffs Bosox! I'm quite concerned about the bullpen & I also hope Roger Clemens & David Wells don't get old in the playoffs. I expect the Yanks to win the series. I really would be shocked if we didn't win it all this year.

I would hate to face the Cubs in a 5 game series.

Hopefully, the Cards will do better in STL, than they did in Houston...

I didn't know about the doubleheader in Pitt--that will be crucial. The Stros have SF in Houston, too, so maybe they'll drop one or two of those games.

ChiJAM </font>[/QUOTE]The reason the double header is crucial is that unless the Cubs sweep the doubleheader, there's very little to gain and ALOT to lose. The Cubs have only 11 games left. A split will either gain or drop them a 1/2 game, and losing both will cost them either 1/2 game or 1 1/2 games, which would be a killer. Sweeping the doubleheader gains them either 1/2 game or 1 1/2 games. Every game is obviously meaningful, but this doubleheader may hold the key to the Cubs playoff chances......JMJ

JMJ, did you get any playoff tickets? My brother-in-law said that he would try, but I haven't heard from him (I guess if he was successful, he would've said something by now...).

I aint giving up. You see we are 12-4 in September. We still have an easier schedule than Houston, but Houston needs to lose. We are still in this.

I tried.....unsuccessfully. :( The only way to get them was online or over the phone, so I tried online, where I was sent to a "virtual waiting room" for almost 30 minutes. At about 8:35 am, another scren popped up saying that ALL of the tickets were sold out.
