    Even Lou hasn't done much of it, I'd like to see some hitting and running vs Webb. Its pretty difficult to elevate the ball, might as well try to use the gb's to your advantage.

    Here's hoping Marquis is not on the playoff roster, the Cubs wouldn't be here without his contributions but, he's clearly done for the season.

    Playoff beard? Thought that was more of an NHL tradition...

    That has a funny way of turning around in the playoffs.

    Phillies being shut out by Matt Chico thru 5 - wow.

    Why?! Is some sort of a senority factor at work here? For, if its based upon quality Froemming would be no where near a playoff series. He's cleary one of the worst, if not the worst Umpire in Baseball anyone with eyes can see that. Got to keep that crew away from San Diego after what happened last weekend. That's understandable however, Froemming' crew should not be working the playoffs at all.

    Couldn't happen to a better team or franchise for that matter, I'm throughly enjoying it.

    What a night, Cubs about to be NL Central Champs and Mets start to put the finishing touches on one of the biggest choke jobs of all time - in Ron' words couldn't happen to a better team.

    Perhaps, the best result of the Marlin series is we'll quite probably never see Trachsel pitch in a Cubs uniform again.
  11. gflore34
    What proved to be costly was their inability to get the non-quality hitters in Marlin lineup out i.e., everyone save for Ramirez, Hermidia and Cabrera. I don't qualify Uggla as good hitter, sure he's got a lot of power for a 2B but, there nothing else he does well.

    And miss re-runs America' Funniest Home Videos? That's crazy talk...
  13. gflore34
    Were we the only ones who knew that if Jones didn't swing the bat at all Pinto would have walked him? Does Lou have or know what a take sign is?
  14. gflore34
    you say this as if the zone changes pitch to pitch as opposed to the way it actually changes, half inning to half inning. You're right, I over exaggerated, it does change half inning to half inning.
  15. gflore34
    Can we at least assume foul balls are going to be called foul and the strike zone is not going to change from pitch to pitch?

    Seriously, is there a good brewery in Milwaukee or Wisconsin for that matter? I've had Lienies' Brews, the Creamy Dark Lager is decent.
  17. gflore34
    Boy, am I glad the Brewers pulled a Cubs tonight, Kelly Stinnet drawing a bases loaded walk to beat you? That's Cubs like all the way...
  18. gflore34
    I know its a crap shoot with relievers but, trading a very successful set up man - Marmol and prospect who still may pan out - Pie (Cedeno' a throw-in). For a SS on the downside of his career and SP coming off elbow surgery?
  19. gflore34
    Losing to Willis is understandable however, there's no reason the Cubs shouldn't pound Barone tonight. He's had at best, limited success in the minors, the Cubs will get this one (tonight, I hope).
  20. gflore34
    If future Yankee Slugger Prince Fielder pulls a hammy in the first inning of tonights game, I dare you not to celbrate just a little bit. You have to be able to run to do that.

    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...
  23. gflore34
    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.
  24. gflore34
    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!
  25. gflore34
    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.
