5/30 Dodgers (Stults) @ Cobs (Dempster) 3:10 CDT FOX

[JonJayCutler]

I want to feel safe with this lead. Unfortunately I know better, especially with this bullpen.

Pierre grounded out to second, 4-3

Pierre grounded out to second, 4-3

 

do you have a macro setup for this?

[Cynosure]

Cubs do well on Fox... Cubs win 7-3.

 

That's too many runs by the Cobs...I'll cut it in half & say they win 3 1/2 - 3 (Cobs awarded 1 1/2 runs on a Dempster solo shot a/c such a miraculous thing happened)

[Outshined_One]

Well, they did lose Manny.

 

Also there's the fact that 3-4 games doesn't tell you much of anything about how great or how bad a team is.

 

Yeah, but with the lead they have in that division, you sure expect more when you see them play over 3-4 days.

 

The only teams over .500 they've played before the Cubs series: SF Giants (1 game over), LA Angels (1 game over), NY Mets (6 games over), and Philadelphia (6 games over).

 

Give them credit for going 5-1 against Philly and the Mets, but still, they really have not played any strong teams so far. They're good, but not nearly as good as their record shows.

Fans don't hold baseball to a high moral standard? Fans don't really care that much about steroids to begin with but if there is a sport where there is a standard it definitly is baseball.

 

Honestly, I think the high moral standard comes from obnoxious sportswriters and politicians with nothing better to do more than from the fans. With McGwire and Bonds, it was blatantly obvious they were using PEDs. Yet, their fans loved them and to this day still defend those guys.

 

Go Milton go!

You got your facts a little screwed up there man... Giants fans ignored the facts about Bonds, Us Card fans did'nt find out Mac was juicing until he had retired. Now that I know about it I hate his red headed guts, as do MANY St. Louisans.

 

Why did'nt you mention Sosa?

[Fred Hornkohl]

Furcal grounded out to short, 6-3

Why did'nt you mention Sosa?

Maybe because nothing has come out on him yet?

Because there's absolutely no evidence whatsoever outside the anecdotal that he ever did any of it, and dear God, please let's not have this debate in a game thread.

Pretty much that. I'll happily throw his name onto the pile of suspected guys, but I was going for guys who'd been confirmed abusers. Cubs fans still haven't found out if Sosa was juicing.

 

My point was more along the lines of the "high moral standard" thing than anything else. I really don't think fans care all that much if players on their teams were abusing.

I agree. I could care less if Sosa was juicing as I am pretty sure everyone else was as well.
