Yeah we won a playoff series, I would give that a great moment. I really think '03 was supposed to be the year. We just blew it.
-
I think they either get swept or win the series. If we get this next game I have no doubt we get the series.
-
Why in the heck would you just want it over? Just win one game at a time. It has been done before. Making a "fake rally" and getting my hopes up has been done before too. The emotional letdown of that isn't worth the slim chance that they might complete the rally. I guess. I know I am going to die. Statistics are pretty overwhelming in telling me that. But, I am going to try and stick around as long as I can. It has been a fun ride this year. The best year I have ever had as a Cubs' fan. I want to see it through to the end. Hopefully that means 11 more wins.

So what are we? Are we always coming back each year because we are loyal, or because we are stupid? Tonight it feels like stupid. But for most of the year it sure didn't.
-
lol i hope so.. Even if we aren't we are all going to be back here the next day getting ready for next year. It's what we do.
-
You guys are all going to laugh at this in about a week when we are playing the Phillies.
-
All these guys with their math. Who cares what math says? We should have never beaten the Rockies and Brewers this year, but we did. We still have the better team, math be damned. Just win one game at a time.
-
If I don't pick them this year, I can't ever. This is the one time I have actually really thought we could do it. Cubs over the Red Sox in 6.
-
This umpire is brutal. -
Go **** yourself. whoa what? Who is he to call me out whenever the hell he feels like it?
-
Go [expletive] yourself.

have you watched the cubs at all this year? jesus Yeah, I know what our inconsistent offense can do. The only reason we were able to do anything last night is because we finally got to thier bulpen. We have been completely shut down by much worse pitchers than Blanton. We'll also be lucky if we get 5 innings out of Harden today. Our offense is the best in the league and is better than a lot of offenses that have the DH. And the Phillies bullpen has been awesome all year. I feel bad for the people who cannot enjoy this year. It isn't going to get any better than this. You can't win every game.
-
nice power derek.
-
God dammit. All this with two outs.
-
I love you Kerry, but remember how the playoff saves will be far more important and that Carlos Marmol can do the job just fine today.

Look, I follow the Cards probably as closely as anybody on this board since I live in St. Louis, so I have a pretty good idea of what they've got. Samardzija and Perez have similar makeup in terms of stuff (high 90s heat and a slider) but Samardzija has a much higher ceiling because he's so raw and has a 3rd pitch, plus he may develop into a groundball pitcher because of his 2 seamer. If you asked 100 scouts, at least 90-95 of them would take Shark over Perez. Not that Perez doesn't have a lot of good things going for him, he just doesn't potentially project to be a starter like Shark. And, he's the best the Cards have right now to finish games as long as Duncan leaves him alone. How can you say we have no prospects. After you say you follow Baseball America to get your rankings on players? Vitters will be a top 30 player by them next year. Hell Castilla will be ranked pretty highly as well. But, yeah we have no prospects, we just traded some mid level ones for Rich Harden though. That worked out well for us.
-
Better get two. And then pull Marquis.
-
nice basket catch minor leaguer.
-
Nice, the guys gonna try to lose this one?
-
To third. Can he retire soon?
-
Yes.
-
Yes. That and Lee hit it right to Wilson.
-
I hate Lee. couldn't you hit one of your little routine flyballs to right there?
-
They got an 11:30am now?
