These two ball clubs are interesting. The Chicago Cubs had high expectations entering the year and came on during the year and fought off the Brewers late. The Diamondbacks had some expectations but not many expected them to take the division like they did.

This should be a fun series. It starts on Wednesday in Arizona. No official start time yet.

After the two aces (Zambrano and Webb), there aren't any real top starters. So this series should be determined by the bullpens.

I don't know who wins this The Cubs and hit and pitch decent The D-Backs and Pitch great but can't hit. So will take my Cubs in 5 because they have experience

Game is on Wednesday 10 Et Webb vs. Zambrano

[EmpireWF]

Ugh, I dislike playoff games that start that late. Because you know they won't end until after 1am eastern.

Is there any happy medium for the west coasters and east coasters?

Oh, come on, that's just brutal. Why not 5pm Pacific / 8pm Eastern?

No kidding it works for West Coast People but like D-Backs fans but not Cubs Fans Some of us have School in the morning

Well, I'm sure the West Coasters have enjoyed seeing the D-Backs take a 2-0 lead, and the Cubbies fans have been spared having to watch the carnage, so maybe baseball made the right call on this after all. Yep, Arizona won 8-4 yesterday, thanks to a 3-run dinger by Chris Young and a two-run triple by Stephen Drew.

I went to bed I couldn't watch but there hope if Hill can hold the Cubs off at Wrigley than Big Z can pitch and he will stay in more than 80 pitches !!!!! So there is hope

Being down 2-0 is a lot of pressure on the guys to make a good pitch every time out and take a good swing at each pitch. I think playing at Wrigley will add even more pressure to the Cubbies facing elimination.

I called Dbacks before the series started, and my phylosophy on the situation now is, if the Cubs couldn't win leading 3-1 in a series, how the hell can they win a series down 0-2?

They're dead, stick a fork in the Cubbies.

You can't say that yet because if Hill edges the D-Backs today then you got Big Z vs. Micah Owings tomorrow, then Game 5 would would be very good with Lilly and Webb

[RAMSFAN96]

Look at the Cubs history, they have NEVER, re-read that please, NEVER, EVER, and I mean NNNNNNNNN EEEEEEEE VVVVVV EEEEEE RRRRRRR won a series down 0-2. EVER!

Times have changed

First time for everything Rams. Who thought Boston would come back from being down 0-3 back in 2004?

Shutup, I had $15 riding on the Yanks winning game 5, as is the pattern with 3-0 series leads, the losing team wins one to stave off a sweep and the winning team goes home to put it away, but that didn't happen.
