Well we are facing Harang, Cueto and Voloquez so yeah. 1 out of 3 would be lucky. If Bailey would pan out, That's one hell of a 1-4. That could match Prior, Wood, Z, and Maddux of 2004.

Padres blow now, were ok. That doesn't mean anything.

BLASPHEMY! But seriously, Sean looked great today. I wish the kid nothing but the best and I hope he's an integral part of the Cubs World Series team this year.

KZone had them as strikes. this just in, k zone is wrong a lot Yeah, you probably had a better vantage point than the home plate umpire and ESPN's pitch tracker. They were borderline but they weren't crap calls. They were terrible. The fact that umpires aren't willing to adjust the zone as the rules say they must doesn't make it ok, it means umpires suck at their jobs. No. It means that many fans overreact to pretty much anything that goes against their teams and will place blame on virtually anyone. Actually, I say this as a tall guy, not a Cubs fan. Umpires are totally incapable, for whatever reason, of adjusting their zone as they are required to in order to deal with the heights and dimensions of the batter Yeah. Because MLB just decided to skip over the "adjusting the zone based on a player's height" chapter in umpire school. That sure sounds realistic. It's almost like they don't fire umps for calling balls and strikes badly. They don't. Froemming stayed employed all those years, and CB Bucknor and Angel Hernandez still have jobs.

Can he demote Marquis to another team? I vote for this option.
-
I don't hate the move as much as a lot of people here do.
-
This sounds like the greatest movie ever.

That game was one of the first times I've ever wanted to actually kill a baseball player. LaTroy Hawkins is probably one of my most despised players I can ever remember on the Cubs. I would brake if I saw Hawkins crossing the street. I'd probably flip him off, but I wouldn't hit him. If I saw Alex Gonzalez crossing the street, I'd hit the gas.

You're a Cubs fan. If anyone should be used to losing games we ought to win, it's us. This probably deserves a ban: http://www.fangraphs.com/tgraphs/20031014_Marlins_Cubs_0.png :rules: :rules: :rules: :rules: :rules: :rules: :rules: :rules: :rules: This game keeps me from sleeping on occasion...I'm serious It took a while for my wife to understand how the simple words "Game 6" can piss me off. I should probably seek professional help for this.

Stop that.

I don't think it's happening tonight, boys.

I'm trying SO hard not to make a filthy comment here....

How many times have they mentioned 1908? None yet. They did mention 1945 as being the last year we led the NL in OBP. You mean the game has been on for almost an hour and they have yet to mention it's been 100 years since we last won a World Series? I've never been so shocked.

Can Fukudome pitch? If so, can we clone him?
-
I actually don't hate the move as much as everyone else does.
-
Fixed. Just kidding Sort of
-
no, gallagher is a rookie and marquis is a veteran. plus Marquis demanded to be started or traded, so we cant risk losing such a valuable member of this team. I'll buy his plane ticket to wherever he gets traded to. Hell, he can even fly first class if he wants.
-
It happens ALL THE TIME!!! I don't think stats are kept on such a thing, but I'd love to see a stat of the percentage of team at-bats immediately following a multiple-run Cubs inning in which the opposition scores at least one run. I bet it's probably 75% or more
-
Marquis ought to be arrested, because he's stealing $8 million this year.
-
YOU ARE TERRIBLE, MARQUIS!! I HATE YOU!
-
2-1. I hate you, Marquis. I wish I cold get paid 1/50th of what you make to be terrible at my job.

[expletive], stop that crap.
