Almost Live: Thirsty Thursday Afternoon OPEN THREAD


This afternoon will be the last Almost Live of the regular season. I know it is an emotional day for you as it is me. Sadly, with the chances slim that they will play any weekday afternoon games next week this could be it for the season. So with that I'd like to thank the academy and those of you who post in these little things. Cheers!

You all know that the Cubs need to win this afternoon's ballgame in South Florida and snap this unthinkable losing streak to the Marlins. More important they can send the Brewers elimination number closer to zero. The Cubs will send the sensitive and great Steve Trachsel to the mound. Trachs' only goal is to get a quality start and to hell with the rest of the team. Ahhh but that was a younger Steve Trachsel.

Here's the deal:

Cubs at Florida (3:05)
Trachsel (7-10, 4.74) vs. Olsen(9-15, 5.88)
Television: WGN
Radio: WGN, XM-185

Lineups will follow... (thanks coomerfan)
