Just a short one hereas time is of the essence,.

The Cubs and Cardinals rivalry go's back a long way and in recent years the Cubs hold the advantage winning 7 of the last 10 between these two sides,todays National TV game is Game 3 in the most recent series and after the Cubs won last night 3-9 I think they can win agains here tonight.

The Cubs go with Marquis tonight who has been off his game of late but he does have a great record against the Cards,Marquis 1-1 with a 4.45 era tkes the mound in this game for the Cubs and after his last start in which the Cubs lost 10-7 and he took the fall Marquis will be looking to bounce back into form tonight,Intrestig to note that in his last start against the Cards he went 6and a half innings yeilding 1 run on 5 hits and the Cubs won 4-2,that game he out piutched Mark Mulder.

For the Cards Wellemeyer 2-1 with an era of 4.14 takes the mound,he lost his last start going 6 innings and giving up 4 runs,he has been good this season but he has also been helped by a Cards offence that has been going great,in this series to date the Cards are looking a bit flat.

I said this would be short as the game is on in just over an hour but I like the Cubs here and I like them to win by a couple,the Cards and Cubs have been in form this season to date and both are astrong offensivly,but in the most recent games the Cards batting line up has fallen quiet while the Cubs line up gets Arasmus back tonight and they have been very good,they have had alot of baserunners in the last few games and have captilised on it in only a few of their games of late,however the Cubs are the highest scoring team in the National League and with players hitting well like Lee,Theriot,Arasmus and Soriano I think they can get the better of them again tonightmTake Marquis and the Cubs to win it by 2 clear runs...Good Luck
