This didn't help the win Thursday night but maybe it will help tonight. If nothing else it will at least keep us sane not having to listen to the doom and gloomers.

Friday is the opening ceremonies for the 2008 Summer Olympic Games. I was wondering how all of you feel about the games? We love both summer and winter. I know some don't care for them at all.

This summer's games are special as there are three Iowa athletes vying for medals. Shawn Johnson in gymnastics, Lolo Jones in the 100m hurdles and Doug Schwab in men's freestyle wrestling. Shawn and Lolo are expected to get gold medals in their fields. Sports Illustrated says Doug is a threat to medal.

What events will you be watching in the next two weeks?

Let's try this and see if it helps.

[Thanks to sue for today's game thread. Sorry it's up late. -Matt]

This won't be anything like the other game day threads but at least we won't have to go through all of the other posts from Fridays game.

I don't look for a win today but I hope they at least look like they want to win.

We need to get rid of the injury bug soon. If you've never had an abdominal strain they hurt like hell. I admire Thabo playing through his.

Here are a couple of articles from the Energy's first two games of the season. In Sat.'s game he had 24 points and 8 assists.

The teams debut in Des Moines last night the Energy came from behind to win. JamesOn had 21 points in last nights D-League record setting attendance game.

Here are the articles from both games.

They just have to worry about today's game. Worry about tomorrow then. I hope Rich pitches his best game so far. Offense guys that is what we need. Make it easier on Rich today and get some runs. Score first and score often. Hope the crowd provides the support this team needs.

GO CUBS!!! GO CUBS!!! GO CUBS!!!

Last time we did this the Cubs won in great fashion. Let's hope they do it again tonight. They certainly can't have two horrible offensive games in a row can they? Hopefully Soriano finds his way on base tonight and the others follow his lead. I hope Ted pitches a lights out game.  Let's do this Cubs!!

GO CUBS!!!

for those who are tired of all the ledge jumpers and those who call the players and coaches names.

Hope the Cubs are fired up and get a win tonight and the Brewers lose another one.

For all those going to the game tonight cheer loud and strong for our guys.

I hope there are enough words to post this diary.
