lol what on earth

that's with one foot on the scale.

yeah, they were saying that if the cubs were honest they probably would say they wouldn't want to play the cards. i'd be happy to play them. their rotation isn't very strong and their defense is abysmal.

jeez broxton is really fat.

let's horsefeathers the closer.

yeah but it makes my ears sad to listen to a girl talk about sports.

they do realize that the cards could just pinch hit for adams if the cubs put in wood, right?

he's probably just annoyed that he didn't get a big send-off when his mediocre catching career ended.

thanks to the ESPN guy for noting that they broke the pitcher's rhythm in this game that doesn't matter at all to the cubs.

it is, but the players/media/meatballs eat it up.

hahahaha we would totally be goofing on the cardinals if they were doing all this for a backup catcher who played two seasons in a cardinal uniform.

lol "what happened? is it a home run?"

so what happens, is it a single?

more top-notch cardinal defense.

cb bucknor blew a call? you don't say.

i feel like our fans are out-BFIB'ing the BFIB tonight.

gyorko has to be one of the worst-fielding "shortstops" i've ever seen.

handle it your way by not posting things on the internet.

he's the travis wood of cubs' starting pitchers.

good point... i stopped paying attention to them in about april so i didn't realize they were playing a lot better. it's really hard to project the AL playoffs right now because the wild card teams and division leaders are so closely bunched. whereas the NL it's quite likely that it will be: cubs vs (wild card winner, which will be st louis, ny mets or san francisco) washington with home field advantage against the dodgers boston seems to me like the most dangerous AL team, so i'll be rooting against them the rest of the way.

tigers won their double-header, so the AL wild card is a real pig pile now. toronto 83-69 +1.0 (4 games vs nyy, 3 games vs baltimore, 3 games @ boston) detroit 82-70 -- (3 games vs kc, 4 games vs cleveland, 3 games @ atlanta) baltimore 82-71 -0.5 (3 games vs arizona, 3 games @ toronto, 3 games @ nyy) houston 81-72 -1.5 (3 games vs la angels, 3 games vs seattle, 3 games @ la angels) seattle 80-72 -2.0 (3 games @ minnesota, 3 games @ houston, 4 games vs oakland) ny yankees 79-73 -3.0 (4 games @ toronto, 3 games vs boston, 3 games vs baltimore) all of the division leaders/likely winners (boston, cleveland, texas) look to have plenty to play for, as texas is only 0.5 game ahead of cleveland and 1.0 game ahead of boston. toronto's schedule looks pretty rough, but at least they have 7 out of 10 at home. detroit has mediocre kc, very good cleveland and then sad sack atlanta. baltimore has arizona at home but then tough road series against toronto and the yankees (who may be out of it by the last weekend). houston has a real chance, with 6 home games and 6 games against the lousy angels. seattle also has a chance, as minnesota and oakland are bad and houston is one of the clubs they're chasing. yankees look to be the least likely, as they're already down 3 games, and have to play their last 10 games against solid to very good teams.
