    Ernie Lombardi was a pretty amazing character. If you haven't read it, you should get the Bill James Abstract just to read the mini-bio on Lombardi in the player comments. But Fisk was better, and is definitely a top 10 catcher of all time. I put him in the top 6 at least.

    That changes everything. What's the ruling?

    1. Bench 2. Berra 3. Piazza 4. Fisk 5. Campanella 6. Cochrane 7. Rodriguez 8. Hartnett 9. Dickey 10. Carter

    Not for me. I'm gonna completely forget about this team till Spring. I ain't ruining my life for this team. Me neither. I'll already be thinking of the ways the 2008 Cubs will piss me off.

    How can the only guy with 100 RBI in this entire series look so incredibly bad?
  6. AlwaysaCub
    Did Neifi take his revenge by inhabbiting the body of Aramis Ramirez? wtf?
  7. AlwaysaCub
    So long Jason Kendall

    BOOOOO swinging at pitches in the dirt. YEAHHHH runners in scoring position.

    It was a bullet near the shortstop...I bet you almost everyone on this team is out on that ball.

    Dick Stockton has blocked out the Rob Bowen era from his mind. Impressive. oh wait...

    LET'S GET IT ON

    Our pen has 1 lefty and 7 righties. Besides the Fontenot/Monroe issue, my only problem is MARSUCK OVER MARSHALL? Seriously? Marshall is better and a lefty.

    People like to say this a lot. The truth is, though, sometimes good pitching wins, and sometimes good offense wins. It's a short series. There's no telling how the games will play out. The game of baseball doesn't suddenly change because it's the playoffs or because the calendar says October. Sure, a team with 2 or 3 good pitchers, and then a dropoff (in their rotation), is better off in the playoff format, but that's pretty much the situation the Cubs find themselves in, anyway. Granted, the weather has an effect, but we're playing in Arizona, and hell, the forecast for Saturday is 81 degrees and sunny. :shock: That aside, the Cubs pitching is better anyway. And so is our defense. They don't have O-dog anymore. I think I'd take their defender over ours in center and behind the plate. Everywhere else is even or to our advantage.

    How ridiculous is this Rockies-Phillies matchup? Who would have thunk it at the beginning of the year? On another note, the o/u for runs scored in this series has to be something like 75.
  15. AlwaysaCub
    their entire season has been like that. I have to think their second and third degree pythag record sucks because they get far more runs than their obp and slg would seem to dictate. Yup. +5 for both 2nd and 3rd order for the Pads.
  16. AlwaysaCub
    that's grade-A dustyball right there, dude But he looks so smart when Neifi hits a grand slam!
  17. AlwaysaCub
    Not really. Career .455 slugging, and since that trade it's been .468. His homers are down though, made up for by a few more doubles.

    Murton looks like he's hiding how uncomfortable he is and just barely not succeeding.
  19. AlwaysaCub
    why? Z has been money on the road Aren't games 1 and 2 both on the road? Yup, I want Z in game 1 just in case hes too pumped up. Lilly has been fantastic all year following a loss Isn't the fact that Z will be too pumped up an argument for starting him in game 2, which would be on normal rest if it's on Wednesday as it most likely be? If we don't have to, then why on earth would we start Z on short rest?

    Why does Wuertz get a spot? He's 5th on the righty depth chart out of the pen, behind Marmol, Dempster, Wood, and Wuertz. I don't see the need for 5 righty relievers. Also, consider that he has one pitch (slider), and it isn't even the best version of that pitch in our own bullpen (marmol).
  21. AlwaysaCub
    Hater. I guess that would make me a hater, too. It sickens me to what he did with a proud Blackhawks franchise. +1
  22. AlwaysaCub
    Florida TV producers have decided that the Marlins deserve a 5th run.
  23. AlwaysaCub
    Isn't that against team rules or something?
  24. AlwaysaCub
    Yes, tried to get the DP that really wasn't there.
  25. AlwaysaCub
    +1 Edmonds is done too now. It's basically Pujols and scrubs on that team.
