8/4 Other Games

[soccer10k]

Tickets for Monday's game are going to sell like crazy.

 

My editor and a few of his friends have season tickets for the Giants. For the Saturday game of the Marlins-Giants series last weekend when Bonds was stuck on 754, the guy in the group sold his pair of $37 tickets for $125 each.

 

Its only the 2nd inning, very possible he breaks it tonight.

 

True. If he doesn't tonight, he'll sit out tomorrow though he usually sits out Sunday games anyway.

ESPN has a camera pointing at Selig every Bonds AB. He was pretty emotionless. Just stood up with his hands in his pockets.

He turned down an invite from ESPN to come in the booth and discuss it.

What an A-hole

[CubsBears29]

barry with 755, whoopidy dooo

 

The good news, though, is the score is 2-1 Bondses (for now), thanks in part to the solo shot that was 755.

 

And ARI is up 6-1 in LA... err, 8-1. (which is awesome)

 

 

I do agree however, the sooner he hits 756, THE BETTER!!!

[CubsBears29]

Grrr, stupid Cameron!! 2-all now

[CubsBears29]

:lol: at Mike Cameron's brain falling out of his rear!

[Ender]

What an A-hole

 

You mean Bonds and not Selig right? I think the majority of baseball fans outside SF just don't care.

[Keener98]

Wow I just realized if SD loses we are tied for the Wild Card. Go Giants!

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Game tied SF2,SD2 in the 11th.

[CubsBears29]

Good to see Michael Barrett isn't holding any grudges... grounds into the inning-ending DP, on to the 12th, still 2-all.

[Sosa21MVP]

Barrett grounds into an inning ending DP with runners at 1st and 2nd with one out. 8-)

[CubsBears29]

How sad.

 

They show the PBP sequence of Bonds' HR, which was hit back in the SECOND inning (now in the 12th), and Bonds isn't even in the game anymore.

 

 

Nice bat drop and statue-like pose of admiration too, jerkwad (Bonds).

[Keener98]

Damnit San Fran! SD wins on a Greene walk off single.

[sherwood921]

Does Greene have some type skin/hair issue or is he just really ugly?

[CubsBears29]

Thank God its just early August.

 

But all the same... all this see-saw action of winning/not gaining ground, winning/gaining ground, losing/not losing ground, and losing/losing ground is exciting and nerve-wracking at the same time, and we got almost 2 whole more months left of it. Not to mention that even though they are still 7-8 games back, StL is still kinda lurking back there.

 

Not to mention 6 teams all within 2.5 games of each other, in the WC race (7 when/if Cubs & Brewers are tied atop the Central).

While I agree with most of your post, the Cards are done. Their pitching is baaaaaaaad. Just wait till that Cubs Brewers series if you want to see nerve wrecking lol

Tell me about it. I picked a great week for vacation on that one, I'm hella nervous just thinking about that 3-gamer just before the end of the month. THANK GOD!!! its gonna be in Wrigley and not Beertown.

[CubsBears29]

One thing going the Cubs' way is they have a very favorable schedule the rest of the way. Just 15 games left vs teams with a winning record*.

 

1 vs NY Mets, tomorrow night

4 @ Colorado, Aug 9-12

3 @ Arizona, Aug 24-26

3 vs Brewers, Aug 28-30

4 vs LA Dodgers, Sept 3-6

 

Combined record of other opponents (HOU [9], CIN [9], StL [8], PIT [6], SF [3], & FLA [3]) is 287-368 (or an average of 48-64).

 

If they can manage to win 7 of the 15 vs playoff contenders and take care of business (mostly) vs the rest, we should be playing for a playoff spot in the final week of September, and the season.

 

 

* = teams with a winning record, currently

[Marco4]

9 of those are against Cinci, though. While they have Adam Dunn, and what I've seen him do against Cub pitching before, they scare me.
