10/1 Game 163: San Diego (Peavy) at Colorado (Fogg), 6:37 CT

[jjgman21]

Out of curiosity, who are you guys rooting for to get to the NLCS (besides the cubs) and to the world series in the AL??

 

I'd root for the Rockies as a potential NLCS opponent for the Cubs. We're 5-2 against Colorado on the season and the Cubs have shown they generally match up well against the Rockies. Facing them in the NLCS would be like getting near the end of a big test and realizing you know the answer to the last question.

 

They're a much different team now than when the Cubs played them. Hitting better, and their #2 pitcher was in the minors last time the Cubs played them.

 

while Ubaldo is scary, Aram and Soriano combined for 5 games out of a possible 14 against the Rockies, Cliff missed most of those games as well, and the first series took place in the Koyie Hill era, so it's not like the Cubs were at full strength.

 

I was referring to Franklin Morales, who I think will give the Cubs a tougher time than Ubaldo Jimenez (both look like good young pitchers, eh?).

 

I saw the breaking stuff in some highlights a couple days ago, then the 98 mph heat in highlights yesterday. that Ubaldo is freaking nasty.

[Omar]

Oh Jerry. How I've missed you.

 

I thought this was Scott?

[jjgman21]

Cal Ripken, MLB Suck Up

 

 

 

oh, did I say suck up? I meant Ambassador.

[Flames24Rulz]

Oh Jerry. How I've missed you.

 

I thought this was Scott?

 

It is.

[Careless]

not that he would have been safe, but I wonder how much time he cost himself with that slide

[David]

I think I could die happy if I never saw another player on a team I'm rooting for slide/dive into first again.

[Flames24Rulz]

1 out triple!

[indifferent]

Tell me why you're rooting for the Rockies again?

[David]

Does anyone think our offense could do some major damage in 3 games in Coors field now that they seem to have found their power strokes?

 

I'd be worried about our pitchers, though...Especially Hill and Lilly.

 

 

Remember how amazingly awesome Prior was at Coors? :cry:

[Mizzou]

Terrible throw to home there, wow!

[E.J.]

Haha. The curse of Brady Clark. :lol:

[cubweiser03]

can brady clark suck anymore at catching the ball

[jjgman21]

Brady Clark is a baaaaaad outfielder.

[salukifudd]

This game is fun to watch....Brady Clark is the dregs.

I want HFA in the NLCS, I don't want to face Peavy or Young (despite his second half struggles) or the rest of their league leading pitching staff... And I feel like our lineup can do a lot more damage in Coors than in Petco now that the power bats have seemingly found their way.

It is.

 

Whoops....

[killthegoat06]

LOL at Latroy Hawkins

[Mizzou]

Oh God, it's LaTroy Hawkins

[chuckywang]

Hawkins in....Padres win this game.

[Guest]

Haha. The curse of Brady Clark. :lol:

 

Cameron would have gotten it.

 

LaTroy sighting!

[B]

Oh God, it's LaTroy Hawkins

 

I'd love to see LaTroy come in against the Cubs in the playoffs. One because it would mean we advanced, and I'd like to see him piss his pants one last time on the Wrigley Field mound.

[Mizzou]

It's a shame that Dusty tried making this guy a closer, cause he could've been a major asset to our pen.

 

Gotta get that one, Tulowitski.

[Omar]

Oh boy. Hawkins.

[Flames24Rulz]

Ah, come on Tulowitzki. You have better range than that.
