    Just like the Cubs would destroy the Dbacks? The Dbacks are for real, it will be a hell of a series. They aren't for real. Gimme a break. That series would go 5 games at best.

    The Rox would destroy Dbacks. They are licking their chops right now.

    How about power hitters that hit for power!

    Cubs could always use Howry or Marmol as closers. No reason going out and spending money for one. Anyway, Dempster is fine.

    I'm just shocked Ram is hitless.

    Not sure about that one. I'm fine with what we have now. Why spend the money it'll take to get a starter. Spend it on offense, the pitching isn't the problem. I guess you're probably right. As long as we have Marquis, we have to use him. Ugh. Everyone has a bad apples in their starting 5. Marquis wasn't all that bad this year. I thought he'd be worse. I pray for Prior to come back.

    Bullpucky. My argument does not require that Lilly had time to reflect. It requires only that Lilly have spent time training himself to control his reactions. actually, no. Testosterone + Nerves + Embarrassment + Hugely important situation + no self control = violent outburst Lilly has been on of the best pitchers at controlling his externalizing behaviors this year. Getting pissed off at giving up a 3 run jack is pretty understandable. I think the entire Cubs team and their manager are playing tight, playing not to loose, if you will. They are taking pitches they should be swininging at and swinging at pitches they should be taking. You just can't do that sort of thing and expect to win a playoff game. Especially Soriano, it is one of the things that got him traded from the Bronx a few years ago I think you're 100% right. They've been playing tight ever since the Marlins series IMHO. They didn't look tight in the Cincy series. They managed to win one game and then the race was over. They didn't have anything to play for @ Cincy. Right, but that one game was one of the best they've played. Regardless, whatever, doesn't matter. They choking right now and choking hard.

    Play sports much in your lifetime? sometimes Testosterone + Nerves + Embarrassment + Hugely important situation = violent outburst yeah, it's called choking under pressure. lilly, like most of the rest of the team, wasn't able to handle the pressure, and his little baby fit made that perfectly clear. it was pathetic and embarrassing. Very much so...

    Call me crazy but I honestly believe we still have a shot! I just can't believe we are getting swept. I refuse to believe we are this bad and the D'Backs are this good. BTW my Nephew went to the game last night and this is what he wrote: Man, this just fires me up!

    Blah! Terrible. Speechless. Is it Spring yet?
  13. C.C.
    Our offense has got to step up! We lose this game we are done.
  14. C.C.
    Wow! This is terrible. This may be the series. The offense better step up beyond Soto.

    I don't want Philly and their ridiculous "fans" to get anywhere near the World Series. Plus, seeing the Phils die a quick, easy death just twists the dagger in the Mets' dead corpse. Exactly!

    Rox also went on a 20-7 stretch just before they became games 4 thru 6 of the 7-game winning streak in June. Cubs already have a history of cooling them off. For whatever reason I think this is the year folks. Have faith!

    1/2 before beer time and 4 1/2 before game time...

    10-3 Rox. I'll say it right now if we can get past AZ, we'll get to the World Series. Rox are playing out of their mind right now. They have to slow down sometime. Z, Lilly, and Hill will do the honors.
  19. C.C.
    I want them!! C'mon Cubs win this series!!!
  20. C.C.
    I can't believe Rox are about to go 2-0 in Philly. This series is done! I'd love to see the Rox and Cubs go at it.
  21. C.C.
    What about teams that give up HRs to Mark Reynolds and Stephen Drew in the same game? I still can't believe that happened. It's always the Mark Reynolds of the world that seem to kill us.
  22. C.C.
    If the D'back beat us we are making the road to the WS very easy for the Rox or the Phillies.
  23. C.C.
    Grand Slam! 6-3 Rox.
  24. C.C.
    Back to Back HR 2-0 Rox. Wow! If they can win two games on the road Phils are toast.

    Nah. 1984 game 5. I was a wreck. I was in college, watching in my apartment, and when the grounder went through Durham's legs, I walk over tothe kitchen, picked up a chair and repeatedly smashed it against the wall until it was a pile of toothpicks. Never said a word, and nor did my roomate. I remember that Sunday afternoon, how in the hell did San Diego, a team with four less wins than the Cubs get home field advantage? - that 2-3 format was a load of crap. I will forever loathe Gary F. Templeton and his soap-dropping hat waving crap and his comments when they were down 2 that San Diego was in it because "They are still the Cubs." Well, he was right. No?
