[Derwood]

sitting the starters for 8 games is a horrible idea. Rest one, maybe two per day, but otherwise, keep them sharp.

Obviously, they're not going to sit everyone for 8 days. Id say play each one about every other day. Also, they may go ahead and put out a good lineup today. While it is essentially a meaningless game, its still the last game of the home sesason, and they'll want to send the fans home happy.

I may end up watching a lot of this game after all, since I'm getting the riveting Falcons-Chiefs match-up right now.

[Exile on Waveland]

I might switch over to this one in breaks during the football game.

 

Same here. Getting pumped for the playoffs, but it's going to be football over a mostly meaningless Cub game today.

Ew. That's about the worst NFL matchup possible. I'm getting Bucs at Bears and Bengals at Giants, at least. And, of course, the Colts later.

I'll get the Colts-Jags game and Saints-Broncos later, but right now I'm got the Howriest matchup possible.

[E.J.]

Have to go to a wedding today, so won't be watching any of this game. I'm guessing there's going to be a bit of a hangover for the players today after yesterday's festivities. :)

[UMFan83]

Someone offered me a free ticket to the game.

 

At first I said no because I wanted to watch the Bears game.

 

Then I watched the Bears offense for a quarter and called them back and accepted.

Actually despite the fact that they were horrible, I went to a few games down the stretch in 2006 and they were fun. It really was just the true fans left. Everyone was really bitter, but since it was September and was no longer cool to be at the game, the crowd was fun.

 

I went to that Dodgers game where Bynum had like 4 errors in the first 3 innings.

Will the Cubs be wearing an "I" on their caps?

Oh don't get me wrong, the end of 06 was kinda fun in a quirky way. I was at that game too and it was epic comedy. Heck, the whole season was epic comedy.

That is my favorite lineup of the year.

[BCVM22]

What an awesome lineup

[BCVM22]

I don't care if this game is meaningless, two dink hits from a pair of scrubs still frustrates me.

[inari]

Bloopity bloop bloop.

[Outshined_One]

Anyone want to take bets on which Cub is the most hung over at the moment?

[CubmanPi]

Kosuke rips a gapper, nice to see.

[Fred Hornkohl]
