if i fail my Public Relations final tomm. I will blame scott eyre because i can get no studying done with this game goin on....so scott eyre thanks for makin me be a bad student :lol:

 

your fault for blowing off studying for this bunch of losers

[Chris]

You smell that? That's the smell of free baseball coming.

[David]

Wow.

 

Michael Barrett is just a really good hitter. That was a shame.

[killthegoat06]

So who's getting the loss today? Howry, Dempster, Cherry, or Cotts?

 

My bet is on Howry, if he pitches the 8th. otherwise Dumpster.

[CubColtPacer]

The Brewers should be cancelled as a franchise for intentionally walking Ward. Come on Barrett.

 

That's Ward's 5th walk- 3rd intentional walk of the season-1 of them was after he took the count to 3-0.

You smell that? That's the smell of an empty bench and a Cubs loss.

[texascub]

Yet another game will come down to the last AB to be decided.

[tslpunk6969]

WHY AM I A CUBS FAN HONESTLY. EVERY NIGHT THIS TEAM FINDS NEW WAYS TO KILL ME. SORRY FOR THE CAPS I KNOW YOU GUYS DONT LIKE IT BUT THIS IS RIDICUOLUS. THIS WHOLE TEAM SUCKS.

Life finds a way.

[Sarcastic]

Man DeRosa is not good.

 

i love game threads

 

He isn't.

 

259/310/556 coming into this game

 

That .310 is more telling to me than the .556. DeRosa is on pace for over 30 homers, and we know he isn't going to do that, so the SLG will drop quite a bit.

 

Nobody's stats this early are going to be telling. His SLG will drop, his BA and OBP will rise. His OPS will drop, but he'll still be a decent 2B, most likely.

[Mark_R]

Well at least we didn't get to the pitcher's spot so we didn't have to remove Howry or anything like that.

 

Who wants to bet the Cubs lose???

 

Everybody?

[TruffleShuffle]

That .310 is more telling to me than the .556. DeRosa is on pace for over 30 homers, and we know he isn't going to do that, so the SLG will drop quite a bit.

 

ah i see, so write off the stat that doesn't go with your argument and latch onto the one that does. Popular tactic.

[Coach C]

Who actually blames Barret for swinging at the 3-0 with Pie on deck?

 

I do. You rarely ever take a 3-0 count. Make the pitcher work it.

I hate you Geoff Jenkins.

 

Seriously, who spells Jeff...Geoff. Hi my name is GeOhn.

 

I lol'd at that one.

Well in that case the other two franchises should forfeit as well. Ward is awful.

You are truly the bastion of objectivity.

Felix for Heisman

[weis21]

You smell that? That's the smell of free baseball coming.

 

there's no way the cubs will score four in the bottom of the ninth.

 

i need another beer.
