Yeah, your right. We didn't once acknowledge the DeRosa acquisition or the fact that the Cubs traded him away in the first place. What were we thinking?!

Last Offseson"Get lefthanded", this Offseason is....

speed doesn't slump -
exactly, I don't know if Cardinals fans don't understand it or what the deal is, but most of the Cards fans around in 1985 were around to see the 2006 title, how can that not make up for it? Maybe it's our fanbase that doesn't get it. Sorry, I think you misunderstood what I was trying to say. Yes, winning a title would/should help soothe a lot of wounds. I'm simply saying it doesn't erase what happened before. And, for the sake of this argument, Aramis Fan, it seemed to me like you were saying it did. I disagree. Like I said, if the Cubs win, the fan base will be happy. But, does that mean that people will stop talking about everything they've been through? Red Sox fans still talk about Bucky Dent, Aaron Boone, trading Ruth, etc. even though they're the only team in this decade with two World Series titles. Winning them has allowed them to become smug, while referring to the horrors of the past still allows them to play the scorned role. Of course, none of us would really know for sure. A Cubs fan can assume that the Cards would/should forget about 85, but without being in that position, they don't really know. If/when the Cubs get there, they'll know. As an Indians fan, I'll probably never know. I'm just gonna go ahead and say that if the Cubs win a World Series, I will not be hurt one bit by 2003 any longer.

How the Cubs will still win the NL Central (as of 8/25)
Schwarber Fan replied to Schwarber Fan's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Cards also lost, so it's not really a big deal yet Regardless, please don't don that think where you bump this after every series we lose I hope it does get bumped and edited because I think this will be interesting to follow. Well I'm assuming it's going to go horribly wrong and I'm going to get blasted like the Cubs sucking is all my fault. If it plays out exactly the way I posted, feel free to bump away! :) The Cardinals are just down out right hot right now I don't know how we could catch them. They aren't Zoolander" hot but "Hansel" hot! Well I took that into account... I don't have the Cubs getting any closer than 5 games back until early September. We're going to have to do better than a split or the Cards gotta do worse than 3 of 4 coming up here to keep pace with my predictions though. -
A few things here... lets talk about the extent of the luck Sure, Dempster and Soto had awesome years, but it didn't win the Cubs crap in the end while the Cardinals win the 2006 world series with arguably the least talented playoff team of all time. And sure, Duncan is a great pitching coach, but guys like Joel Piniero and Ryan Franklin just magically become unstoppable?! If Smoltz sees success, that will be the final straw. Ryan Ludwick, Rick Ankiel, Skip Schumaker - these guys should not be as good as they are, while nearly every Cub hitter is under-performing this season. If you want, I can refute every one of your arguments: You have won a world series since then, so I'm going to say it cancels this out Mark Prior anyone? EVERY Cub this season seemingly. We've had Dempster break a toe celebrating a win and Kerry Wood slip in his hottub. But he came back as an offensive force - that didn't happen to Rich Hill ABSOLUTELY no disrespect intended here, but the ace of our staff - Mark Prior's career has died as well. Don't even try to compare our luck wit yours.

Thanks Fred! Also, if Gorz has a terrible start, I could see him being pulled from the rotation with Z on his way back. Only 2 more late games...
-
Ballgame So the Cards go into L.A. and take 2 of 3 and we'll be lucky to score a run in our upcoming 4 games sigh
-
2 outs, up to Loney
-
bat goes right at Ryan, but of course he makes the play Ethier to 2nd
-
Scully: "To those that compared Dennys Reyes to Fernando Valenzuela... not quite" :-))
-
Ethier HBP on the 1st pitch of the inning TLR making a pitching change already cmon manny
-
Stole 2nd on a 3-0 count :roll: ball got into CF, advanced to 3rd, and then scored in the sac fly
-
How does Pujols steal a base on a 3-0? Only the pixies could pull off that BS
-
