    And with the win today, the Cubs are at least .500 against every team in the NL this year. 2-2 vs. the Phillies, 3-3 vs. the Nationals, above .500 against everybody else.

    Lee and Ramirez both hit it pretty well, but to the wrong part of the park. This game is probably why they have that saying, "Can't win them all".
  3. bukie
    Lee hit that well, but too close to Victorino.

    Is that the Karate Kid song? How about Eye of the Tiger? Yeah, that's the Karate Kid song.

    Excites the few ND delusional fans who actually believe him (less than 15% I'd say) and continually inflames the ND hate from everybody else. The 85% of the remainder of ND fans are caught in the middle left wondering how he slipped down the hill so quickly. He's the worst analyst at ESPN, but he does seem to get a lot of people awfully fired up over his comments (not saying that you're doing that), so that's probably why he has a job. It's sad too-ESPN execs probably knowingly continue to sell him the lie that he's there because he provides quality analysis even though everybody knows that he just continues to embarrass himself. the Rush Limbaugh of ESPN's college football coverage? I like to think of him more of the Abe Simpson of ESPN college football coverage.

    I'd probably rate the Twins below the White Sox. However, the White Sox probably have the worst pitching of any team that would make the playoffs.

    How about "You're the best" from Joe Esposito?
  8. bukie
    Err, that's actually the reverse of what you said. If they had taken a look at the stats, they'd know better than when they use the "eye test".

    The Phillies are the only team in the NL the Cubs are under .500 against this year. Fix that, Cubs. Of course, the only team in the NL the Cubs can't finish over .500 against is the Nationals. And yes, I know that is sad.

    I'd have to say that a team 6 games clear of the entire league and 10 games clear of every team but one is pretty dominant in the league. Maybe that's just me, though. And I hate to say it, but the pitching matchup in this game favors the Cubs. Dempster has been that good.

    You wouldn't have considered the Cards eliminated at 8.5 back with 29 to go? Yeah, what was really the best case scenario for the Cubs was sweeping the Pirates, which pushed everyone further back with less time remaining.

    As an example of "delusional fanboy", we have RedVerbs here today.

    Haven't you heard? The NL West bandwagon is hooked on the Rockies now.

    Thanks to the Mariners loss earlier today, Seattle is the first team officially eliminated from a division championship.

    Uhh, it's not out of the ordinary for teams to place most of their players on waivers. Doesn't mean a whole lot.

    Behind the Angels, Brewers and Cardinals, and tied with the Phillies. Cubs remaining home series: Phillies, Brewers, Cardinals, and Astros.

    From the "What a difference a year makes" department: Currently, the Houston Astros are 66-66. If they have this record at this time last year, they're 1.5 games behind the first place 68-65 Cubs. This year, they're 16 games out.
  18. bukie
    All the Cubs need to do is split the Phillies series to equal their win total from last year. In August.
  19. bukie
    So, the Cubs are 33 games over .500 for the first time since 1945. Which is absurd.
  20. bukie
    Marquis probably deserves some credit for getting through five scoreless, especially after Zambrano and Lilly were unable to do so the previous two nights.
  21. bukie
    Well, it could be the opposing pitcher. Would that be better?
  22. bukie
    I'm hoping the Cubs can push across a run or two, Marquis can be fast and efficient for 5 innings, and then torrential rain. Too much?
  23. bukie
    Marquis gets Morgan on a strikeout. Gameday pops up an advertisement for "One a day".
  24. bukie
    Haven't decided whether I want a quick 5 inning game, or a slow, cancelled game. Depends on the Pirates offense today against Marquis.
  25. bukie
    Yeah, there's a reason the 1984 Cubs finished the year 96-65, and it wasn't because they only scheduled them for 161 games on the year.
