    So glad the Cubs were able to use Kendall tonight to prevent Hill from blowing up.

    The Cubs might as well just let Wood hit for himself. Use the pinch hitters for the regulars, the ones that can't hit.

    So help me if the Cubs win this thing with a grand slam in the 9th and pull me back in, I will never forgive them.

    And another hard-hit at-em ball.

    Maybe Jones can hit into a DP and the umps can just count an out towards next inning.

    I can't believe DeRosa swung at that. Even if it's a strike, you can do nothing with that pitch except roll it over to the left side, unless you're Soriano. I'm not even mad anymore, this is just amazing.

    What I'm most impressed with about Illinois is that the teams they've played haven't really been patsies (aside from Western Illinois). Syracuse is apparently an average Big East team, Missouri could win the Big 12, and Indiana and Wisconsin have their only Big Ten losses against Illinois, with a previously ranked Penn State as the other win. I just hope they don't lay eggs against the less highly regarded teams on their schedule.

    The problem is, the best strategy with a guy like Webb is to swing at the first good pitch you see, because it'll likely be the most hittable pitch in the AB. For the most part, the Cub hitters had a good approach to Webb, except Lee, who would always take the first-pitch strike (except when he singled on the first pitch in the 6th). Sure, it's not being patient, but as long as Webb is throwing strikes consistently, he's always trying to get ahead on the first pitch with a fastball. If it's hittable, they should be swinging at it.

    Maybe now for one inning the Cubs can get lucky enough so the hard hit balls aren't directly at someone.

    hey roast, you gonna change your name if the cubs win the whole thing? No mention of my name?? You're about a year late and a dollar short.

    I'm curious how high the expectations for the average fan on this site are. As for me, I expect the Cubs to at least win once. A sweep would be disapointing. Anything more would be great, but hard to expect.

    I think Juan Cruz is going to be in the pen for the D'backs, and I don't see him among the match-ups. Not to be a PITA, but just for completeness. :)

    That's...oddly specific.

    Doug Davis. The classic crap lefty that punks the Cubs. Pretty much any pitcher where the strategy to beat him is to be patient and wait for good pitches.

    Well, I mostly mean that if Buck is calling more Cub games this year, something wonderful has happened with the Cubs that hasn't happened in, oh...61 years or so.

    I'll take Chip over Joe I'll take Chip over Stockton. Dick Stockton is brutal. every time I hear Stockton's voice I think Bears and Lions for some reason I'll take him over Joe Buck for a season. Even if he is brutal. I just don't want to hear Joe Buck call a Cubs game, at all costs. If it were up to me, I wouldn't mind Joe Buck calling a few Cubs games yet this year.

    So, basically he says the D-backs are a statistical anomaly. This we know.

    If the Cubs can beat Willis in Game 4, they win the series. No way they could lose both games at home with Prior and Wood on the mound.

    Cubs because they are divisional winner. These are the "seeds" 1. Diamondbacks 2. Phillies 3. Cubs 4. Diamondbacks So if it were the rockies / cubs the games in denver would be on Sunday the 14th, monday the 15th. to start. Then looks like an off day on the 16th and back at it on the 17th? Just trying to plan ahead lol since i'm close to Denver. The LCS's have a 2-2-1-1-1 Format. The lower seed will host games on 14th, 15th and 19th in the NLCS. No, the LCS's have a 2-3-2 format, like the World Series. Need I remind you of 2003, game 6?

    Red Sox over Angels 3-1 Yankees over Indians 3-1 Diamondbacks over Cubs 3-0 Phillies over Rockies 3-2 Yankees over Red Sox 4-2 Phillies over Diamondbacks 4-1 Yankees over Phillies 4-0 This is the scenario that I would hate the most, so I figure it's bound to happen.

    Jaime freakin carrol Apparently that's enough.
  22. bukie
    Question is, who do they have left after Helton who can hit?
  23. bukie
    Not to be a skeptic, but... ...is this "verified" by someone hearing something on the SCORE and reporting it to a fansite forum? Is this being picked up and reported anywhere else yet?
  24. bukie
    I would think a Geovany Soto sign would work better if you brought like 20 of them and passed them out to people in the section around you.
  25. bukie
    Go go Cubs sweep! Oh, and LOL at Hart's ERA+
