BTW, can someone explain why Len thinks we've played 5 games in SD this season? Are we playing them 9 times? Edited August 19, 2009 by Careless

Ha. This is one sorry team.

Don't worry. The cubs have one of the top gm's in the game to make things right. LOL

We have 3 series with them this year.

It'll be interesting to see what Ricketts does with the team if he finally takes over during the offseason.

[Irrelevant Dude]

Do you guys think Ricketts watches these games and thinks the same things we do?

"Gee, Wiz. You think the Padres were the ones that were 6 games back".

[cheapseats]

Things don't look so good right now, but at least we've got Aaron Miles for the top of the 9th.

So we have about 50 games with the 10 NL E/W teams and play lopsided season series instead of 4 game series?

That doesn't seem right

edit: not factually wrong, just not right

If Miles leads off I will seriously puke....better be fox

[genbar]

My prediction:

Aaron Miles 1st pitch dribbler to Eckstein

[cheapseats]

I think I know why we never win here....we have zero line drive hitters....everyone swings for the fences

 

Marlins swept San Diego in this park a few weeks ago, and their starting lineups' average line drive percentage is about a point and a half lower than the Cubs' lineup tonight.

 

They have guys that actually have power tho....we just have guys that swing for homeruns and never hit them

 

So who are you talking about? Who is swinging for homeruns too often?

[genbar]

My prediction:

Aaron Miles 1st pitch dribbler to Eckstein

 

Oh, I was terribly wrong, Sam Fuld's batting. Ha

[chuckywang]

BWAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA

Fuld is ok....any breathing human...or k9 for that matter is better than Miles

That doesn't seem right

 

We play approx 64 games against the E & W. Every year we get 1 extra series against a team in the East or West due to the fact that we are in a 6 team division and there aren't enough teams in the AL division that matches up with the NLCentral to go around.

At least we won't lose any games in the playoffs

[cubstitlelives]

They're mailing it in and it's pretty obvious they are done.

Soto, Fontenot, Soriano do every single time at the plate and they are all worthless

[Irrelevant Dude]

That was fast.

[chuckywang]

Not going to any more games this year. This year's team obviously doesn't deserve my money.

I already have a trip to Pittsburgh planned in September and have tickets to all 3 games... big mistake.
