With the Cubs playing Washington again tonight, repeating what happened on Thursday would be a great boost for Chicago offense after winning 6-2 scoring three runs in the top of the ninth. 

As poor of a season the Nationals have been having this year, it just may be what the Cubs need to start a charge here in the second half of the year.  With Harden pitching the game last night gave the Nationals their best chance to get the runs they wanted and it did not happen.  And with the rest of Cubs pitching being at their best this year, it will be tough for the terrible struggling Nats to do much damage against Zambrano, Wells, or Lilly; the All-Star.

Good luck Nationals.  See what you can do.
