boy am i glad we're not facing webb this series, he's totally shutting down the phillies today. i wonder how many people realize he's one of the two or three best starting pitchers on the planet.

i think all the people who voted for him to win the Cy young are aware

I do. The only 3 pitchers that I guarantee a loss for my team are Webb, Peavy and Santana. Well now Volquez. I still can't believe we beat Webb last year and played him close in the playoffs (although we only got 1 run on him).

Webb's last 3+ years:

2005: 229.0 IP, 229 H, 21 HR, 59 BB, 172 K, 3.54 ERA, 126 ERA+, 1.258 WHIP

2006: 235.0 IP, 216 H, 15 HR, 50 BB, 178 K, 3.10 ERA, 152 ERA+, 1.132 WHIP

2007: 236.3 IP, 209 H, 12 HR, 72 BB, 194 K, 3.01 ERA, 156 ERA+, 1.189 WHIP

2008: 56 IP, 40 H, 2 HR, 16 BB, 41 K, 2.41 ERA, ~180 ERA+, 1.00 WHIP

Not a lot of pitchers who are that durable and that good. Amazing what you can do when your GO/FO ratio flirts with 4 most seasons. I'd say the three best pitchers in the world are Santana, Peavy, Webb, then you've got a ways to go before the next guy on the list.

nah, they probably just know he had the most wins.

Nope. Just like playoff stats aren't included in career stats, neither are these.

Hello :D

Welcome back.

Word of advice: Bud Selig, in a move that shocked all of baseball, declared the NLDS a tie last year before the series began.

Learn it, live it, love it.

UMFan83 · May 9, 2008

Hello :D

Guys ready to win your second world series before our first (in 99 years)?

Outshined_One · May 9, 2008

Hello :D

Welcome back. I hate you and your team.

chuckywang · May 9, 2008

At least we avoid Brandon Webb ....

Then we have no use for Spider-Man then....Shoot......

Now would be a good time to stop playing bad beisbol.

If Lilly gets roughed up, somone's gotta post the GIF of him from Game 2 throwing his glove down in a hissy fit.

I'm able to watch my first game since Sunday. Don't screw up.

islandcub · May 9, 2008

Please beat this team. Already voiced my opinion about them and their ability to be outscored and still have a few guys that just happen to be players that the Cubs can never seem to solve.

Brian · May 9, 2008

Dan Haren is my favorite non-cub

sorry.

he's also on my fantasy team

double sorry.

Chris24Young · May 9, 2008

Please beat this team. Already voiced my opinion about them and their ability to be outscored and still have a few guys that just happen to be players that the Cubs can never seem to solve.

We have the highest run differential this year out of all teams.

Welcome back. I hate you and your team.

Because we own?

---

Anyways, I think Scherzer is going to get lit up on Saturday because all he has is a fastball and the way you guys are swinging the bats, you'll annihilate him.

And Sunday, I'd be surprised if we can get to Zambrano, and with RJ on the mound, I have no clue what to expect.

Because you guys are on the verge of winning your 2nd world series in 10 years of existence while we can't win one in 100 years.

Welcome back. I hate you and your team.

Because we own?

Wow your return here might be short with more comments like that.

haubrich91 · May 9, 2008

We need a big win here to start out the weekend. I forgot what it feels like to have a 2008 Cubs offensive day.

Sorianos hop · May 9, 2008

Let's win today Cobs, I forgot what it feels like to win a series.
