Make or Break Series?


Well tomorrow we begin a 3 game series against division leader Houston as Carlos Zambrano and Wade Miller square off. At this point we have to sweep Houston to have a chance at winning this division. That would only put us 2.5 games back and right back in striking distance. Getting swept or lose 2 of 3 is unacceptable.
The Cubs have to go in like this is a playoff series where every AB counts. They cant afford to fall 7.5 or 8.5 out. If their going to make a run it has to be now.

On a side note, Aramis Ramirez has just killed Houston this year he has 3 HR's and 15 RBI against them even though he is hitting just .200. I expect to see him inflict some more damage on Houston and be a key piece in this series.
