    Am I wrong in hoping this is a rain-shortened 5-inning 5-0 Cub win?

    Question for you, would you rather see the Twins and White Sox in the playoffs, or the Twins and Red Sox in the playoffs?
  3. bukie
    So much for the Cubs giving up the least amount of runs in the league.
  4. bukie
    I dunno, I think the 13-5 game was worse pitched. :)
  5. bukie
    Consecutive winning seasons for the second time in 6 years. :)

    Conventional thinking reigns supreme.

    I'd really enjoy an AL playoffs of the White Sox, Twins, Rays and Angels. Some fresh faces in a constant sea of Boston and New York media darlings. Plus, I think Boston is the most dangerous team in the AL.

    Got a feeling since the Saturday game is national, the Cubs/Phillies series is certain to have plenty of mention of the instant replay. Fortunately, Wrigley isn't a very necessary replay stadium with the baskets.

    I hadn't noticed this, but thanks to this weekend, the Cubs have actually allowed the fewest runs in the NL along with scoring the most. 2nd overall in scoring in the majors, 3rd overall in runs allowed in the majors.

    Yeah, from this point on I doubt they outpace 1945 unless they go undefeated in September.

    did i miss like a whole month of baseball or something? you are right, it's not a lock. Only 89% certainty according to BP. http://www.baseballprospectus.com/statistics/ps_odds.php The Cubs are pretty close and show no signs of letup. They are pounding the teams the bad teams as you should when you are in 1st place. Depending on how much Yeti has been drinking, he may have actually missed a whole month of baseball and still thinks the Brewers and Cubs are tied, though. :)

    An acid hot show....yeah, I don't want to know more.

    The Cubs have beaten the Pirates this year: 10-8 in 12, 6-4 in 15, 7-3, 3-2, 13-1, 13-6, 7-4, 4-3, 12-3, 5-1, 8-5 and 12-3. The Cubs have lost to the Pirates this year: 7-6 on a McLouth HR off Marmol in the 9th, 5-4 in 14 after Wood blew a save in the 9th, 6-5 in 11 after Marmol blew a save in the 9th, and a 3-0 shutout by Karstens.

    The Cubs have officially clinched a better record than the Padres. On August 25. 2 down, 13 to go.

    I'm projecting this to October and frankly, I'm not looking forward to a tight game with Ted pitching to, say, Manny. By then, though, the Cubs would have a 3-0 series lead, at the least, and there's no way the Cubs would drop 3 in a row, 2 at home, with Dempster, Zambrano and Harden going. ;)

    I'm not sure he can. He's a big flyball pitcher, and this park isn't exactly spacious.

    That's quite a disparity between DPs. Of course, the underlying aspect of this is that the Cubs offense tends to be on base a lot more often than the opponents also. Not 3 times more on base, but more all the same.
  18. bukie
    Wasn't that also a Ted Lilly special?
  19. bukie
    LOL. But anyways, this game is already out of hand... I doubt the validity of this vast conspiracy. I figure the Pirates just wanted to give Karstens an extra day of rest, since he struggled his last time out. Didn't seem to work out for them, though. Hate to say this one's over already though. When the Nationals can put up a quick 6 spot, no game is really over.
  20. bukie
    But what's the Cubs record when they have at least 2 4-run innings? :)
  21. bukie
    I was waiting for the Fred stat of "The last time the Cubs scored 4 runs in an inning was 8/25/08 against the Pirates, in the 3rd inning of the ongoing game."

    I know Tim Wakefield did in the 2003 ALCS, but he doesn't exactly tax his arm with his pitches. Becket pitched in 3 games of the 2003 NLCS, but didn't start game 7. Schilling started 3 games of the 2001 World Series.
  23. bukie
    Jason Bay fan?
  24. bukie
    Huh, I thought all sacrifice hits were counted. My mistake.
  25. bukie
    Well I understand the "purposeful out" thing... but regardless... not every time does a player go up there TRYING to Sac Fly... Purposeful or not, it's still an out. I think an RBI should be awarded and that's it. That's why it still counts against the players OBP, because he was not necessarily trying to make an out. SacBunts, however, do not count against OBP as in most cases the coaches are taking the PA away from the batter by telling him to make an out. Sac bunts also count against OBP, as they are also a plate appearance.
