    Almost all the fans this final week will be Cub fans. Won't be Wrigley, but it will be "Wrigley South" Plus, I think we need to remember the Marlins have the worst home record in the majors. It's not like they've had a home field advantage at all this year. There's no logical reason the Cubs should blow this thing. None. Only one thing will do that now: looking over our shoulder, worrying about a team that is desperate for us to worry about them when we don't need to. That's the only thing that will stop us. Essentially, ourselves. I know its almost impossible to gauge a teams MO from the way they look but, if their approach to the last three games is any indication. I believe the Cubs have stopped caring a rodent' behind about whether the Brewers are winning or not. They know its there to grab and nothing can keep them from it - Len mentioned that the Pirates could see it in Cubs. Look what they did to Gorzelany - he had a snowball' chance in hell of winning - I believe the they're going to knock the snot of Florida. Sure, the Brewers losing would ease my mind but, I don't think its going to matter.

    I believe the Cubs have a real good chance at winning two of three (not so sure about Tracshel on Thursday), now, if Cards could somehow just get one from the Brewers...

    The Brewer fans can piss and moan about bad luck, calls, etc. but, the simple fact is they went 32-49 on the road. Playoff teams, good teams usually manage to win 40-50 games on the road.

    Thats' what Len and Bob said, right forearm cramps. Many of us thought the Pirates had no chance this weekend, LHP or not, I'm glad we right!

    When it came down to the bullpens I knew the Cubs were going to win, the biggest difference maker between the Cubs and Brewers hasn't been luck. Its been pitching - there's nothing lucky about good pitching.

    There's been a lot discussion about the Reds and the end of 2004 but, what of the Pirates? If I recall correctly, 2003 - didn't the Cubs clinch the division by sweeping the Pirates in a DH? What about 1984? I believed the Cubs clinched in Pittsburgh, beating the Pirates 4-2 - what I'm getting at, is quite a few good things have happened vs Pirates when there have been playoff implications.

    Maybe, its all the coffee I've had this morning talking but, I believe the Cubs are going to knock the snot out of the Bucos this weekend.

    Sign me as one who has grown tried of seeing the opposition make their defensive plays of the year vs the Cubs.

    I'm taking comfort in the fact that the not so good Brewer pitching is going to be facing a really good lineup. No more three (Pence, Lee and Berkman) hitters and a bunch of crap, it'll probably come down to the bullpens.

    yea, cuz we hit soo well against JOEL FREAKIN PENEIRO for 4+ innings.... Had that piece of crap on the ropes but, in typical Cubs fashion, they went into their no score mode for the remainder of the game. By the way is Sean Marshall ever going to figure he's got a better chance pitching ahead in the count? His long layoff notwithstanding, he better work on throwing strikes in the offseason or he won't be long for this league.

    Pretty pathetic what LaRussa has had to resort to, can't say I'm not throughly enjoying it.

    Goodbye and good riddance Craig Biggio!!!!!!

    And yet, they've had the thrill of two WS, it's unbelievably unfair.

    The Cards lineup sans Pujols might be one of the worst since the days of Baylor...
  15. gflore34
    Pretty entertaining Ron and Pat's call, listened to the Houston call as well. They were lamenting the Astros lack of clutch hitting, when it comes to the Cubs they must be watching a different game - clutch hitting is all they've done vs the Cubs in Houston.

    Didn't numb nuts pull one out of his ass vs Cubs?! Of course, against the Brewers he suddenly can't catch the ball!!!!

    At this point, I would gladly trade schedules with the Brewers. I can't imagine the Cubs beating any of those three teams more than once in a series. I'll be thoroughly shocked if the Cubs are more than about 1 game over .500 for the remaining stretch. I too. I fear a repeat of the close of 2004, the Cubs will have chance after chance to seize the NL Central (WC in 2004) but, we fail to do so. I believe we are going to witness several 1 run extra inning loses, games in which the the Cubs grossly out hit and, save for a pitch or two, out pitch the opposition. We'll see things like the Cubs leaving 20+ plus men on base, Lee and Ramirez GIDP's with the bases loaded, failing to score a run with a runner on third and no outs, etc. The real kicker is that these failings won't occur because the opposition made the perfect pitch, no, they'll occur because Lee and Ramirez just missed hanging sliders or high BP fastballs. The writing is on the wall. Last nights game exhibit A.

    Its not like we didn't know this crap wouldn't happen, 10 BB's? 15 LOB? I could accept losing to the Astros if they beat the Cubs but, they didn't, as has been the story far too often this season, the Cubs beat themselves.

    I'm at the point where I'm wondering what kind of voodoo LaRussa will have to pull to keep them in it. I'm not sure about the Cubs, but I definitely don't see the Brewers playing 4 games worse than the Cards from here on out. And if it's a tie, the game goes to Miller Park where I'm pretty sure the Crew would pound the Cards into the sand. I'm hoping the Cubs just outpace both of 'em of course. I don't know what kind of Black Magic is necessary to keep them in it, that's a terrible team I saw play the Cubs. A team with a bunch of poor to barely average relief and starting pitchers and exactly one hitter.

    Len and Bob were talking about busting him inside, does he have a hole in his swing? Was it possible to see this from stands?
  21. gflore34
    From here on out I believe the Cubs biggest obstacle is themselves, if they play well, there's no reason 2 of 3 in Houston, and 3 of 4 in St. Louis shouldn't happen. Anyone else think the Cards are done?

    Not having seen the yesterday' game, I was wondering if Pie would have caught that line drive in the second inning? Now that Jones' hot streak is over how about Pie in CF today on out? Pie is just as crappy as Jones with the bat. He will strikeout just as much, will choke with runners on base just as much however, he'll do a few things Jones is incapable of doing such as: 1. Playing a superior CF 2. Occasionally beating out gb's to deep SS 3. If does put the ball in play with a runner on 1b, he's next to impossible to double up

    No Bay or Nady? The Cubs should win this game but, we all know the Cubs haven't exactly been adapt at winning games they should win.
  25. gflore34
    Of course he does, only team he's effective against is the Cubs.
