  1. Not trying to single you out, but what's with people writing this? "Of" makes no sense whatsoever. It's "have". blame that UofI edumacation Didn't go to college there.

  3. We had better not lose this game to this minor league team + Jason Bay
  4. Why is that piece of trash on our team?
  5. I sure wish we were trying to win this game.
  6. this is like big kids playing against little kids... or maybe just like the Rookie vs. Sophomore game... Well we haven't lost a home game yet, so it is still a series. That said we look bad.
  7. because they aren't? really? because the standings say otherwise. unfortunately, the division winner is determined by the standings and not a position by position >/= contest. the brewers are going to have to completely collapse or suffer some serious injuries for them not to be in contention all season. are you implying that baseball standings after a month and some change is an accurate rating system? that's not like you, dog. everyone wants to look at RS/RA, which is fine...the cubs should have a better record. but they don't, and those losses are in the past. it may show that the cubs can play up the level of the brewers the rest of the season, but the losses that happened (whether they mathematically should have or not) can't be changed. even if the cubs improve and brewers get worse starting from this date, the cubs are still in a five game hole. It's May 7th. Man I don't think anyone has came from 5 back with 130 to play. But go ahead and break your own arm patting yourself on the back about the Brewers being a good team, at least that way it will be a change from your gloating about how you knew Rich Hill was great. seriously dude, can you point to a recent post of mine where i gloat about being right about rich hill? because i'm damn positive that people talk about how i brag about being right about rich hill far more than i actually brag about being right about rich hill. and i never said the cubs couldn't come back from five games out. that's stupid. i don't know why you cool aid drinking cub fans continue to assume that the teams ahead of the cubs will fall back and the cubs will surge forward...have you not followed the cubs for say, the last 100 years? if think the brewers are a losing franchise that doesn't deserve to win the division, what do you call the cubs? I don't think that history has anything to do with their team right now, nor ours. I do think that this will be a good race. Time will tell.
  8. I would argue your bullpen would go to hell eventually. What with Kiki Codero being an average closer in Texas for most of his career and Turnbow being the guy Cordero beat out. I also think Ben Sheets will eventually break down, he always seems too. Plus I think at some point JJ Hardy will wake up and probably bring Geoff Jenkins with him. You guys have a good team, but to think you haven't been lucky is laughable.
  9. I think the Bulls get game 2.

  11. no, but Gordon will start the game with 2 fouls now Oh well what is that 1 minute 48 second different from game 1. That was ridiculous. the 2nd foul was pretty hilarious. and by hilarious, i mean worst call ever I figured that this was gonna happen though. I was more angry with the fact that Rasheed Wallace drops and f bomb and jumps around after a couple calls and the referees look the other way. Way to enforce that new rule guys.
  12. Man the Kei Igawa signing looks great now, doesn't it?
  13. Really I have met him several times and he has nothing but very polite and cool. Huh. Oh and he could be a better hitter than Alex, but Alex will out run and field him all while being a pretty fair hitter.

  15. had he made these moves against an actual major league team, we would have lost poor Ryan Zimmerman.
  16. God if not for one mistake to Bay we would have what? Nine wins in a row?
  17. Dempster's hair is really thin and gross.
  18. Wouldn't matter as long as Ward touched first. True. I guess we dont mind the force out.
  19. I hope you dont get to start one for a month or two.
