9/1 Astros (Oswalt) vs Cubs (Obscene nickname) 3:05 WGN

[David]

So much for winning 100 games.

 

So when do we start worrying about the possibility of the overachieving offense mailing it in in September?

 

 

 

Ugh to this whole post.

I don't care if they win 100 or not, but 15-9 is certainly within reach with this team. Lou's 2001 M's won 118 and then got beat in the 1st round. The 03 Braves won 102 and we know who knocked them out.

 

I'll be glad to get HF advantage and take my chances.

Nice AB Theriot, my God. Take at least 1 damn pitch

Ugh to this whole post.

 

there's a reason i don't read these posts.

 

(except when people quote them)

[kujay]

Edmonds is 6 for his last 44, and that includes his feasting of the Pirates pitching when he went 3-5.

 

I think the magic is ovah.

 

So do you go back to being a holdout?

 

Well my level of patience has always been thin with him so yeah.

 

Yeah, he needed to do more to win me over and his leash is a lot shorter.

 

If anyone cares, in light of all the hand-wringing about facing the D-backs in October, Randy Johnson got lit up by the Cards today. Four homers, including shots by Molina and Lopez (!). AZ leads 7-6 in 7th with bases loaded and 1 out.

I think the magic is ovah.

 

The exact reason I wanted Pie called up. Who knows, maybe we could have gotten a hot month from him, and also gave Edmonds some rest.

Now that's power. But way to get on base, Ward.

Lulz to the statement about the "overachieving offense" towards a team actually below its pythag.

Yeah but Randy Johnson is not 13-0 lifetime vs. the Cardinals. I will be parinoid about Randy Johnson until we actually beat him.

[Sosa21MVP]

Fake rally?

[rynefan]

Fake rally is SO last season!

[Guest]

Two on, one out with Fukudome coming up.

[UMFan83]

Fake rally?

 

You betcha.

[kujay]

Hmmm...

 

Do we have a real rally in store now?

[Andy]

Well, the Cubs are too good to not have a fake rally at some point. Too bad Kosuke is up.

[Keener98]

Hmm I wonder what this inning looks like if Theriot actually decides to try working the count a little.

Love me some Valverde. He is made of pure entertainment.

Dammit Cubs, why the hell did you get a fake rally. Now we have to see a man gyrate all over the mound in a few minutes.

Nope this is fake, dont worry.
