    The HFA magic number would also fall to 2 if that held, I believe. Three more outs from our JV beating the Cardinals again. Magic number's already 2. If the Cubs win and the Mets lose, the Mets would be eliminated from HFA.

    Quit being a complete troll already. This is just stupid crap.

    It was a BS penalty, but that kind of thing just can't happen at that point.
  4. bukie
    That drive was at least as much about the pass blocking as it was about Orton and the WRs, though.

    The Bears are catching the Bucs off guard with an entirely new dimension for the offense. Most other teams call it "passing".

    Just let the emotions flow naturally. The worst thing about any given HR call is the need to do it a certain way, which just ends up making it sound completely fake.

    I'd actually like to see Fukudome get more work in this last week.
  8. bukie
    Chances are pretty good he won't throw 110 pitches this time, though.

    Huh, Adam Kennedy grand slam. Didn't see that one coming. Ahh well, still 9 innings of offense left for both teams.
  10. bukie
    Not a great 1-2 pitch. 95 on the gun, which is ironically bad for Carlos, considering he throws a sinking fastball, and the higher up in the 90's it gets, the less it sinks.

    not even close. Hell, I remember a year when not only one, but two teams blew 5 game leads with a week to play.

    I see Hill having more use than Hoffpauir in the playoffs, especially if Blanco is somehow the only RH on the bench for pinch hitting duties. Hoffpauir would only have a place if Ward is injured, essentially.

    A string of luck? Only a true fanatic would've believed in JUNE that the Cubs would be in the playoffs? What? I love when people who know even less about sports than sportswriters write about them. Standings at the end of June 22 Yes, only a true fanatic would have believed that the team with the best record in baseball would make the playoffs.

    He always struck me as somebody who liked to blame others whenever possible. Probably not a fan of the Cubs, either, remembering how he was treated in 2004.

    Again, I'd be stunned if Lou goes with 10 pitchers. Do you mean that 10 pitchers is too much or too little? He went with 11 last year. Too little. I don't see any way Lou doesn't go with 11 pitchers, especially if he takes Marquis. It makes sense as long as there is 11 viable pitchers. I don't think there's 15 viable position players. "Lock" position players (as in, not a doubt they are there) (12): Soto, Blanco, Lee, DeRosa, Fontenot, Ramirez, Theriot, Cedeno, Soriano, Edmonds, Johnson, Fukudome Other viable position players (4): Ward, Pie, Hoffpauir, Hill "Lock" pitchers (9): Zambrano, Dempster, Harden, Lilly, Wood, Marmol, Howry, Marshall, Cotts Other viable pitchers (4): Marquis, Samardzija, Gaudin, Guzman So, the way I see it, there are a total of 29 potentials for 25 spots, 21 of which are basically locked up.

    Here's what I think the playoff roster will be: Starting Pitchers (4): Zambrano, Dempster, Harden, Lilly Relief Pitchers (7): Wood, Marmol, Howry, Cotts, Marshall, Samardzija, Gaudin (if healthy)/Marquis/Wuertz Starting position players (8): Soto, Lee, DeRosa, Ramirez, Theriot, Soriano, Edmonds, Fukudome Bench position players (6): Johnson, Fontenot, Cedeno, Blanco, Ward, Pie

    Err, how does the "backdrop" help field a winning team? The Cubs aren't making money from any of that crap.

    Any talk about moving the series to Arlington is moot, because they wouldn't have played any games there either that weekend.
  20. bukie
    Oh noes, isnt that also our odds to blow the division??? :shock: I think after today, those are the odds to blow the division if the Cubs lose their remaining 12 games.

    Where does the 10-9 Rockies game fit in? :)
  22. bukie
    He's struggling to throw strikes, mostly. His pitches have great movement, he just needs to be able to command it better.
  23. bukie
    I can't believe the Soto HR isn't on Gameday.
  24. bukie
    And with that win, the Astros are eliminated from the NL Central race.
  25. bukie
    1) Because it's a rule that starters must pitch 5 innings to get a win. 2) Because of a combination of a tight zone and lack of command.
