6/17 white sox (danks) @ Cobs (Dempster) 1:20 CSN

[Keener98]

They were far more important than the 162 that preceeded them when we were the best team in baseball.

No they dont

Not every year they don't. But, I guess you can't comprehend that.

[Arnold Layne]

The obsession with those three games is what got us into this ridiculous situation to begin with.

 

6 games in back to back seasons of complete and utter incompetence.

Miles doubled to down the left field line

Wait, the '06 Cardinals wasn't the best team that year? [-X

[swordsman]

No they dont

 

 

Sure they do. It's a simple palyoff system that pits teams against each other. The good teams advance.

 

And sometimes they don't.

[jersey cubs fan]

Miles doubled to down the left field line

 

 

And the OPS spikes to 505!

[TruffleShuffle]

Aaron Miles trying to prove all the doubters wrong. Yay.

 

hey man that double bumped up his OPS over .500!

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 28-21 when they hit at least one double.... 2-9 when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

The '03 Marlins might have been. Once they added Miggy.

The teams that are the hottest and playing the best baseball advance, and very often those arent the same teams who had the best record in baseball. Your logic is really flawed

Right. Good call a 5 game series tells you much more about a team than an entire 162. What was I thinking?

[Arnold Layne]

Would you take the 2006 Cardinals or the 2008 Cubs?

[illiniguy]

Would you take the 2006 Cardinals or the 2008 Cubs?

The 2008 Cubs. They are going to make the playoffs everytime. The '06 Cards usually won't.
