If our AB's go like Fukudome and Lee's than I like our chances.

[imb]

it's early, but darling and gwynn have been far worse than stockton so far, and that's something considering he already called ryan dempster ron

[Careless]

What is that ambient noise at wrigley? It sounds kind of like a thousand people are booing whenever the crowd isn't making noise, or a little like there was a highway right outside. Are other people getting this?

[MemphisVol]

I still can't believe Kosuke is batting second. What a joke.

 

I still can't believe Lee is batting third. What a joke.

 

 

That's gotta be the worst 2-3 hitters in the playoffs. In history?

[hardcorecubfan]

Why does Tony Gwynn talk like a 5'3 120 lb white guy?

 

He sounds like Eddie Murphy when he imitates white guys

[17 Seconds]

I still can't believe Kosuke is batting second. What a joke.

 

I still can't believe Lee is batting third. What a joke.

 

Except Lee has been there all season. Kosuke has been in Lou's dog house for months and barely plays, then the playoffs roll around and it's "hey, you're batting second today"

[17 Seconds]

I like the patience I'm seeing

[Careless]

Wait, it's Gwynn who sounds like that female football announcer?

[Yanksfan1523]

If Dempster can handle Manny like that all game, it will be a long night for the Dodgers!

 

=D>

 

How are you enjoying your first October off in awhile? :wink:

 

I will survive, LOL. There are some good series to watch here. Plus if it means lowering payroll and pairing off dead weight, I am all for missing the playoffs a year or two!

 

Its all good, after Lohses contract, the Yankees are the only team who will be able to afford anything in the off season.

 

Actually, I hope CC stays in the NL and goes West. If Boras continues to price Tex into the stratosphere, I doubt the Yankees bite. I think AJ may be the one guy they get. I am actually hoping for Garland and looking at some trade opportunities!

[Little Slide Rooter]

1-2-3 Demp

[Shilzzz]

Lowe isn't on it at all. I'd like to see the Cubs score a couple runs before he finds a groove. I like the start, though. Even if it didn't produce a run.

[Guest]

20 pitches, 10 strikes for Lowe in the first inning.

[cbbryan]

At least Lowe had to work there.

 

Come Demp another quick inning.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Made him throw 20 pitches though

P/PA              4.67            5.00

[CubInOK]

I'm still liking this work the count thing the Cubs are doing.

 

Now get em Dempster.

[Sammys Boombox]

I like the patience I'm seeing

 

Me too. However, that pitch ARam grounded out on was the most hittable pitch that inning.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 33-11 when they score in the first inning.... 64-53 when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Little Slide Rooter]

Peavys available. It all depends on what the Yanks are willing to give up. Ive been sick of the Red Sox for a while now, and already sick of the Rays, so hopefully the Yanks can take back whats theirs.

[Brian]

Cubs are going to score in the 2nd.

[CubInOK]

I would be throwing things with excitement if the Cubs had a playoff game end like that State Farm ad. I'd probably break a bone or two, too.

[Shilzzz]

I agree.
