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

[Guest]

why is everyone cheering for the rockies? Just because they are a great story or is there another reason? I think if I were a Phillies fan I would be cheering for SD - especially with Peavy pitching today.

 

Yes, the Padres are clearly the inferior team. I don't understand why so many are hoping for a Rockies-Cubs potential NLCS.

 

Well, fine, even if you feel that way... Would you rather face the Rockies or Phillies? If the Pads are so depleted, and won't be able to start Peavy twice, do they really stand much of a chance against Phil?

 

I sure as hell don't want to face Philadelphia. I know that much.

 

I think I would rather face the phillies than the rockies. your pitching staff could get pretty abused in a long series with colorado. I'm not sure who I would rather face.

I guess the generous strikezone is just for Peavy, because Bell isn't getting the same pitches Peavy got.

Well, we're Cubs fans, lol...and I don't want to see Philly (or Cole Hamels), so if the Rockies are a worse matchup for them, even better.

 

On top of that, I don't want to face that San Diego staff or see our bats get stifled in Petco. I think, the way our bats have come around in terms of power (even in FL, think of all the near misses in the huge park and humidity) we can more than hang in a Coors slugfest with these guys.

 

Plus, facing COL we'd have home field in the NLCS, which would be a little icing on the cake.

 

We would in SD too.

 

Colorado's pitching is now better than San Diego's, and they have two really good lefties. Their hitters would do well against the Cubs' pitching too.

 

Gotta take Peavy out.

 

True, I should've worded that better, but if the Pads are so depleted, what makes us think they can beat the Phils? Of primary importance to me is getting them out of the equation.

I have to say, I don't miss Barrett at all.

 

Geovany Soto

Rockies getting absolutely screwed there. There's no way that didn't go out. How do the umpires explain the ball flying back on the field the way it did. Ridiculous.

 

I don't have HD...anybody with HD get a good view?

I remember once he was interviewing Shaq during a Miami Heat game and Shaq said, "That's an awful suit" to open an interview.

[Sammy Sofa]

GEOVANY SOTO.

[Flames24Rulz]

Haha, nice AB Barrett. Good to see that you still blow.

[chuckywang]

Barrett with a sacrifice strikeout.

[moorecg]

Barrett! Barrett!

 

THEY MENTIONED Z ALREADY!

 

Didn't they just say Barrett was brought in as a defensive replacement? I almost spit out my beer.

That's the main reason I don't want to face Colorado, I don't want to see our pitchers having to deal with possibly 3 games in Denver and having to recover after those starts.

That used to annoy me about Barrett. Once he gets behind with 2 strikes, he swings at everything. All you need to do is keep throwing pitches out of the zone and you'll get him out.

[Careless]

oh my god

[Brian]

WTF Holliday???

[Mizzou]

MVP Holliday

[Derwood]

wow, major FAIL in left field on that play

[David]

Wow....

[E.J.]

What an idiot.

[moorecg]

There goes the MVP.
