    god bless the royals. If there was an opposite to the World Series, the Royals and the Nationals would be it. Seattle and the Padres would make a run for it also! lol Don't forget Dusty Baker's Reds.

    Eh we paid for a few lost years of Wood and Prior. Pretty much each team does with pitchers.

    Uhh yeah, it was hilarious enough when people were following the Astros earlier in the year. Following them now when they're about 28 games behind us is just nonsensical. Although so is following the Cards. (4%) I wonder if the Mets fans were following the Phillies this time last year. We finish like the Mets did and we won't have to worry about the Stros. We will be too busy watching the Crew and Cards in the playoffs.

    If the Cards lose a couple more we might have to put the Stros on here. They are within 4.5 of them. Although I guess maybe we should just drop the cards from this if that happens.

    Terrible, horrible and awful. The most painful thing about it is these teams will fight tooth and claw when we see them, we all know when the Nationals come to town they wont pull their "4 runs in a 4 game series" act I have already penciled in kEARns for three homers.

    See Giants, Braves, Nationals, and Padres. Yes, but I'd expect a few losses sprinkled here and there among those teams. Those will come when the PAP catches up to Sheets and Sabathia.

    Man the Padres are awful.

    Jason Marquis sucks. No lead is ever safe.

    Edmonds has been amazing for us. Just amazing.
  11. illiniguy
    Yeah, that was one of the rare times we got two in an inning and I feel let down.
  12. illiniguy
    That shouldn't suprise us, look at the crap we ran to the mound in '06. That had to help his numbers.
  13. illiniguy
    I am not worried about it until we clinch a playoff birth. After that, well it is supposed to be hard. Stupid LA.

    You knew they wouldn't go quietly.

    Anyone with some insight. I've always wondered this, and if its possible to intentionally swing at a wild pitch with 2 strikes and run to first. It's possible, but you've gotta be real quick on your feet to recognize that pitch is going to the backstop. I used to do the other thing you were talking about when I'd get IBBd in coed softball. Swing on the first 2 to go down 0-2 in the count. This was of course not baseball though. My thing is I think guys should let infield fly rule pop ups drop. I'd figure at least 5 times a year you'd have some dumb guy getting doubled off since they don't understand the rule. The homerun is an out rule around here really limits the amount of times I don't take a walk.

    I hope so, but we are the Cubs. I am waiting for the huge injury. I wonder if TLR is hammering the arms this year as a way of saying to the front office, "hey, get me some more talent."
  17. illiniguy
    16 months?Pry should have gave him a few more rehab starts, it is tough to throw him into a game of this magnitude already.
  18. illiniguy
    Yeah it's right. So is the .182 average after a 3-1 count. He does have a .667 OBP in that spot though. He keeps this up and reverts to what you would expect next year with his hitting. He could be an MVP candidate.
  19. illiniguy
    Maybe...if he always swings that hard. Then he was .190is with a 3-1 count. What a weird year for him, if that is true.
  20. illiniguy
    Rammy is only hitting .210 with an 2-0 count? That cannot be right. Can it?
  21. illiniguy
    There we go DLee. Come on Aramis.
  22. illiniguy
    Really? They have been glowing about Dempster today, no? Morgan does not like the Cubs. It's all Ryno's fault.
  23. illiniguy
    In a huge spot, in front of Pujols.
  24. illiniguy
    After having Juan Pierre running fast for a year, I can handle this.
  25. illiniguy
    Edmonds with the best ab of the game thus far for us.
