Gotta love that thought process. We Could get to 85 wins, missed every starter for some period, Aramis Ramirez for two months, Soriano and Soto had zero seasons, and Kevin Gregg blew a ton of saves. If half of those things don't happen we are getting reading to get swept again in the playoffs. This team doesn't need anything, but one more shot next year. They also got the 2nd best season of 33 year old Lee's career, a shockingly great performance from Randy Wells, Angel Guzman healthy for nearly an entire season, and Ted Lilly's career year. There were plenty of people who thought this team would struggle to eclipse the 90-win mark this year. They were pretty old, with multiple injury prone players, and they aren't going to be any younger. This team absolutely needs stuff unless the plan is simply to hope the competition all regresses. I see no reason why Derrek and Ted can't put up similar years to what they've done this year and if Sori and Soto come back at all they won't even need to. As for Guzman, that kind of thing happens. Who would have thought Chris Carpenter would have put up this kind of year after missing the last two? -

Why does nothing surprise me anymore with teams I like? I feel the same way.

Crandall Head tore his ACL. That sucks.

Have you ever thought about switching teams?

Stop reading Rick Reilly. Seriously. His picture is in the dictionary next to the definition for "douchebag". Sosa should have kicked his ass. -
Just play Geo Soto. Jesus.

Only about 2 years too late.

illiniguy replied to Misfit's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
How could you do that? Think about how awesome it was to be a Cubs fan in 03. After Ramirez hits the grand slam to go up 3 to 1. If they ever did win it all and you switched, how could you ever watch baseball again? -
No. But, I heard Lou Holtz lisping at me how they could go undefeated just a few weeks ago.

The Brewers Celebrate a Game-Winning HR
illiniguy replied to Outshined_One's topic in General Baseball Talk
You can't really hit a walkoff on the road, so... Bahaha. I am an idiot. No way that would make the celebration even better. -
Isn't Notre Dame supposed to be decent?

There is no try. There is either success or failure. I will not fail.
-
Awesome, you're such a badass. NO, I WILL NOT MAKE OUT WITH YOU. Come on, I'll be gentle.

No, never. Seriously how long have we had three divisions? I guess maybe the Astros have. Have the Reds? This was the trivia question yesterday (or two days ago?) The two that haven't are the brewers and Pirates Oh, and for some reason Brenly couldn't figure out the answer I had forgot about the Reds one.

Reds once Us and Houston 3 times St. Louis the rest.

I just wish that it wasn't always the Cardinals that have to do great when we play like crap. Has anyone won the Central besides us or them?
-
Yadi Molina and Brendan Ryan combine for 6 hits. It's been that kind of Century.

It's almost like there was a reason that clown played 1,000 games in the minors.
-
That's fine, just get Demp off the hook. He was way too good today.
-
come on we have to score here.
-
We would have lost anyway. But, Demp wouldn't have got the loss.
-
So after we lose this one, surely Scales will buy dinner for Dempster tonight? Right?

The ROlaIDS relief star is up in the pen.
