sigh it just isnt our century. again. -
brewers will improve... probably enough to overcome yost I also think that some of those guys are due to come back to earth a little.
-
come on augie. wake up and make your out.

How many times we made up 4 runs after the 6th? CUBS are 0-26 when they trail by 4 runs or more at the end of 6 innings. Go CUBS !! in other words, go to bed nah, enjoy it. it could be a long while before we get back. I hope not, don't see the NL Central improving much. Esp with Jocketty and probably TLR gone. Yeah but we have a lot of money tied up to players getting near their mid 30's. That and at some point the Brewers will fire Ned Yost.

Ramirez is five feet from having this series tied at 1 on his own.
-
or if augie had been called out. oh well thats done. lets fight and make a game of this.
-
lets get 5 runs here.

mine is april. i will not let them become a cub fan. That would be considered child abuse if we did, right? I would assume so.

Yes, apparently. Not like he ever played in any pressure filled games down the stretch this season. Or, for example, when he was on the team that won the World Series in '03. he hit .188 that series against the cubs. over the course of 76+ postseason ab's, he's hitting like .210 with a SLG under .300. So your saying he has been money?

another nice play lee.
-
Most of which is propped up by 2 doubles coming against the Cubs in 2003. i don't believe in clutch, but i believe in choking. and lee looks terrified out there. it's pathetic. I'm with you on that, don't believe players improve and are clutch but I believe hitters can play considerably worse in tense situations. Wouldn't the ability to not tense up be the "clutch" then? i think of clutch as improving your normal play in tense situations, which i don't think is possible. Well in that sense I agree there is no such thing as clutch. wait so why can players choke under pressure but not perform better under pressure? shouldn't it work both ways? If you have read what I have said. I don't think you can do better. I think you can supress your nerves to the point where you can do the same as normal.

Ehhhhhhhhhh, I guess. But that's not how the term is used - it's used to say a hitter is doing far better than his norms in tense, game-altering situations. See I always assumed that is what clutch really meant. It is still a game of failure, but the guys who don't get all tense still have the same chance. Thus they are perceived as more clutch.

I think we might be the only team in the playoffs he starts for. At least in the NL. I am sure AZ would take him in a heart beat. The other two starting 1B are Todd Helton and Ryan Howard so I am not sure what your point is. This is why the playoffs are a crapshoot. Two bad games can make any team or player look bad. Think the 101 win Braves were thrilled to lose to the Cubs in '03? I think Conor Jackson is better than Derrek Lee. Hell he almost had as many homers and rbis playing in a platoon.

Of course he smoked a ball in Game 6 when he played with the Marlins. That makes it all the more frustrating. I have never liked him because of that.
-
Derrek Lee is the most overrated peice of garbage in baseball.
-
here come the warning track flyballs.
-
He probably thought he homered. He did admire it.
-
This is actually the worst day of my life not involving death/deadly illness Game 7. 2003. Game 5, 1984. I thought game 6 was way worse. Me too. The game 7 loss was totally expected after the game 6 disaster. Yes. It was as if after gonzalez booted that ball everyone woke up and said, oh crap we are the cubs.

Lets also not forget how he made neifi perez look like mickey mantle the years he pplayed for us. this series against us 3-5.
