    Once again... this game being rained out can only HELP the Astros.

    Now, the Cubs have one less day to rest Prior, and a double-header is taxing on any bullpen.

    Ideal situation (while the Astros are hopefully winning out):

    Cubs play game 1 tommorow, but second one gets rained out.

    Cubs have to play a double-header on Sunday.


    That would spell ultimate doom for the bullpen if there was to be a Monday.

    I resemble that remark, it's 4:21 and I still wouldn't piss on a Cub's fan if he were on fire!!

    Let's get our bats goin' and see the Buccos round some bases...

    Double Header for the Cubbies?? Excellent!

    Let's see if Sammy and the other bats play 3 games in 2 days. Let's see how much work their relief corps can do.

    Of course, this applies to the Pirates as well...

    Lets have a tripleheader and rain out tomorrow too! Or that might not work out well either considering they'd be able to rest Prior a couple more days as well as Wood.

    I think the Bucs can win one...They are a decent team that has nothing to lose...

    I would rather see a one game playoff...

    Go BUCS!!!

    Well, I just checked the scoreboard at ESPN.com and it is 6-0 Cubbies in the 7th inning of the 2nd game.

    Looks like the Astros playoff push is over.....
