    So, is Lou going to Howry in the 9th for Murphy-Wright-Delgado-Beltran?

    Is it wrong of me to root for a 3-way tie between the Brewers, Mets and Philles, along with a tie between the Dodgers and D-backs? Hell, while we're at it, Twins and White Sox too.

    5th Cub to 20 HRs this season. Edmonds still has a chance to make it 6, which would be a new club record.

    Regardless of whether or not Z is the "ace" or "#1", Harden has been by far the best starter the Cubs have had this year, and should start game 1, so he'd be available for a game 5. Plus, if Harden starts game 1, it would prevent Lou from trying to throw somebody on short rest in game 4.

    I could see them going 10 pitchers for the World Series to take an extra batter for the DH position.

    I'm with you on the first point, but not the second. Theriot is the starting SS and one of only two SS on the roster. Ehh, I admit it's a poor comparison. I was looking for the most expendable starter on the Cubs. Probably should've gone with Fukudome. If we're willing to accept that Lou is going to have Howry and Ward on the team because they're veterans above all else, and Fukudome is in because of his defense, there are probably 1-2 spots up for grabs among Gaudin, Marquis, Wuertz, Pie and Hoffpauir. If the Cubs go 11 pitchers, then it'll likely be Marquis and Pie. If they go 10 pitchers, likely Pie and Hoffpauir. If 12 pitchers, probably Gaudin and Marquis.

    Fontenot is not going to be left off the roster. He has the third highest EQA of anyone on the team. It makes less sense to leave him off than it does Theriot.

    LA has played nobody in the past month. They were swept by the last decent team they played. They are this week's version of last week's Astros.

    Already happened, with the two extra "home" games. Just ask any Astro player/fan/coach.

    Fun Cubs trivia to pass the time to the game: - Who are the top 5 Cub hitters according to EQA this year? (Hint: This also includes pitchers that can hit)

    All things equal, they should win. Unfortunately, over a 3-7 game stretch, things are rarely equal.

    NFL Week 3

    bukie replied to ELCABALLO45's topic in Other Sports

    It's weird, but it can probably be legitimately said that 4 of the best 5 or 6 teams in the NFC are in the East this year. At least so far.

    Actually, Soto would be the regular I expect to see getting the most rest this week, considering the sore hand and the fact that he's a catcher that's been behind the plate a lot this year. After that, probably Lee, DeRosa and Theriot, getting 2-3 days of rest. I expect starters will pitch on schedule, with a 75-90 pitch limit (so, like an average Harden start), perhaps letting Marshall/Samardzija/Wells pitch a start sometime this week to give everyone an extra day of rest.

    To me, it has nothing to do with "big hits." The playoffs aren't about scoring runs - you win in the playoffs by preventing the opposition from scoring. Fukudome is a HUGE part of why the Cubs staff has had so much success. actually, they are about scoring runs. You can prevent runs until the snow falls, but if you don't score runs, you're not winning any games.

    As I said before, even if I prefer to see, for example, the Dodgers, Mets and Brewers in the NL playoffs, I'd much prefer to see them win their spots in an intricate series of one-game playoffs on Monday and Tuesday.
  18. bukie
    Boston will clinch a playoff spot and the Yankees will be eliminated if the Yankees lose their last Yankee Stadium home game ever.

    Gotta go with Kerry Wood. Here's a question I have...if fans of other teams had to pick a favorite Cub (particularly Astro, Card and Brewer fans), who would that be? I know Zambrano, Soriano and Ramirez are wildly unpopular among rival fans, so I would guess someone quieter like Marmol (though he's animated on the mound I guess), Wood (I can imagine Astro fans are not Wood fans) or Soto (probably not popular among Brewer fans since Thursday). Maybe it's Howry, since he's been arguably the easiest pitcher to come back off of for them.

    A Pedro Feliz 2-run HR puts the Phils up 5-2 in the 8th.
  21. bukie
    I'm rooting for an intricate series of ties so that everyone but the Cubs has to play on Monday next week.
  22. bukie
    One additional thing to note: If they don't care about replaying that last Houston game in regards to HFA, the Cubs have already clinched HFA as they can finish at worst 94-67, and the Mets and Phils can finish at best 94-68.
  23. bukie
    Since the Cubs won, the HFA magic number is 1 for both the Mets and Phils (94 Cub wins, 68 NYM/PHI losses). So, if each lose today, the Cubs clinch HFA.

    Who's making excuses? At this point you're just baiting posters anyway. It was a blown call, and absolutely something that Tillman can't let happen at that point in the game. It sucks to have outplayed all three opponents to this point and be 1-2.
  25. bukie
    Quit being a complete troll already. This is just stupid crap. Trolling? It is a reasonable point. This extra-curricular crap started at the very beginning of the game. Body of work, this was just the last one. The refs blew that call, and hopefully some Buc players will be suspended when that is reviewed.
