"This is it, don't get scared now!"

 

Nice.

[anabiono]

if the cubs win today...and they will...there is a good chance we see webb in game 4 instead of game 5...

 

wow...if this actually happens...i think it is definitely to our advantage...i would rather face webb at home then on the road...

[janie]

There will be great joy in Cubsville;

Mighty Soriano won't strike out!!!

 

DO THIS! GO CUBS GO!

"You don't change your approach or the way you're going to pitch," Hill said. "All of a sudden, I'm not going to become Sandy Koufax, and Nolan Ryan's not going to show up and start pitching the game for me. ... It's just a game, as simple as that sounds."

 

 

OPR!!

 

OPR!!!

Yup, we've seen that all too often. The 1998 Braves and 2003 Marlins celebrated on our home turf, and I believe both the Cardinals and Astros clinched their playoff births on our field in 2005

[VanceJergins]

In 04 when Boston was down 0-3 to the Yankees, Kevin Millar was talking to someone before game 4 and said something to the effect of, "Don't let us win tonight. We win tonight, then tomorrow we have Pedro, then Schilling, then who knows what can happen in game 7...Better not let us win tonight." All we have to do is get to game 5, then who knows what will happen. We have who I think are our two best pitchers the next two days. We'd have to face Webb, but anything can happen in game 5, we just have to get there. We're still going to do this.

 

The only difference is the Yankees threw a broken down Kevin Brown. The DBacks would throw Brandon Webb

 

Thats really the only difference you can think of? How about ARod, Jeter, Sheffield, Matsui, Posada? The 04 Red Sox were better than us, but those Yankees were a hell of a lot better than the D-backs.

The point is, Brandon Webb can shut down the Cubs offense. I'd feel much better hitting against a broken down Kevin Brown

[Handlebar McSkullet]

worst week ever...

[Keener98]

worst week ever...

 

Going to be a great weekend. 1st the Illini, 2nd the Cubs, then the Cubs again, and then the Bears.

[Master Shake]

Fortunately I'll be getting liqoured up at Oktoberfest tonight.

 

I havent had a Hacker-Pschorr Weiss in a longggg time.

[Guest]

Supposedly the outfield looks fantastic now.

[UMFan83]

Leaving right now for Sluggers to have a beer with the guys assembled and then to the game. Please don't let this be the end. I want to watch the Cubs and Bears tomorrow.

Close. Houston clinched their berth against us in 05 but it was in Houston. All else is correct.

is that just a general comment on the entire cubs roster? if not ... what lineup would you suggest? Soto over Kendall? I think it's about the best we can throw out there, with not much of a difference between that and the ideal (soto in, jk out)...
