  1. Aaaaand Aaron Miles goes back to sucking. Kenny Chesney could hit better.
  2. On a plane, bus, train or car?
  3. I just don't want the Brewers to win it. I am sick of their bush league behavior. I would pull for the Cardinals before them. I will take a team of asses that are legitimate players over having to watch the parade of magically good crappy baseball players in St. Louis play postseason baseball. There is no more legitimate player than Albert Pujols. The reason they are competitive is a testament to how good Albert is. If Ryan Ludwick, Chris Duncan, Kyle Lohse, Todd Wellemeyer et al. performed like they should, it wouldn't matter how good Pujols was. There's no doubt he helps, probably more than any one single player helps anyone, but he can't be responsible for everything.

  5. Why couldn't the Twins have taken Mark Prior? Because that would have been far less soul-crushing. Don't you know that? Although if the Twins had taken Prior and the Cubs Mauer, Prior would have 3 Cy Youngs by now, and Mauer would be languishing in the minors somewhere. Probably. I imagine we would have taken tex then anyways. Wojo wrote in his book Cubs Nation that we would have happily taken Mauer if the Twins had taken Prior, but Prior was #1 on the board.
  6. The fact that anyone who knows anything about baseball or ever follows it at all would ever say that anyone besides Albert Pujols is the best hitter in baseball is a sign of how contrarian fans are sometimes just to be contrarian. On another note, the Cubs are probably going to lose.
  7. Michael Bourn fell on his ass on Tal's Hill and caught a Hoff longball that would've been out anywhere else.
  8. Most of our offense is pretty much sucking all the time. It doesn't really surprise me that they're sucking in key spots. As truffle pointed out with stats earlier, there is a sizable gap between our hitting stats with no one on base and runners on base. It's not like we are world beaters when there's no one on (somewhere like 15th in MLB) but it's better than 28th with RISP. Point being, they're not very good, so why would they be very good when the situation demands it?

  10. Soriano can't freaking run anymore. Do we have anyone on this damn team that's both not injured and not sucking?
  11. How many more wins would we have if we could just be 19th in baseball with RISP instead of 28th? My lord.
  12. Here comes Derrek Lee to either K or hit the ball hard into a fantastic defensive play.
  13. What's even more annoying than a DP? 3 straight strikeouts!
  14. Why, why, WHY are we so inept with RISP?
  15. Ok, Theriot, what the [expletive]. That was awful.
  16. It was a lucky hit but I wouldn't say it was a 'huge break'. Just a seeing-eye single.
  17. I'm sick of Russ Ortiz, but Len and Bob are sure having fun with him. :-))
  18. I love when Tejada forgets that he's not supposed to be that good at SS anymore. Damn it.
  19. Miles doesn't play SS. I'm fairly sure he hasn't played there yet this season, and he probably won't.
  20. This is highly unfortunate, as it would instantly have been the funniest show on TV.
  21. The odds of the ump changing that zone on a key pitch later in the game are 1:40. I don't get to be right often, so I like to parade it around like a chump when I am.
  22. There seems to be one of these posts in almost every thread. How DO we walk Michael Bourn?
