  1. Screw it, I'm probably cracking open a beer here soon. Never mind that my 13 year old brother is the only other person in the house.
  2. Hell of a job by Dempster. Fewer pitches next inning, though, please.
  3. I loved Eck saying he didn't know anything about Ryan Dempster ("I don't know if he got lucky pitching at home, I don't know if he had a lot of no-decisions on the road, I don't know" when trying to explain Ryan's home record). Real hard-hitting analysis.
  4. At least 4 or 5 bitter Sox/Cards fans I know have some sort of message rooting against the Cubs or for the Dodgers posted on their Facebooks. The Sox thing befuddles me especially - they just won a division title like 20 hours ago.
  5. Fine lineup. I pray Fuku can recapture his cold-weather-at-Wrigley magic.
  6. The same Cubs BP cap (circa 2006) that I wear a whole heck of a lot, and the 07 Central Division champs shirt because I have a feeling about it (despite what happened after they won it).
  7. ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I get out of here in 105 minutes
  8. Rick Reilly was just on ESPN in a completely stupid and pointless "Top 10 reasons the Cubs won't win" which included - Kerry Wood's arm falls off (because no one has thought of it before) - Ronnie Woo Woo denied entrance to Wrigley, puts Woo Curse on Cubs and in my personal favorite about Fukudome reading his clock the wrong direction and arriving at a Series game after it was over, Reilly pronounced Kosuke's first name ko-SOO-kay.
  9. I miss when I was in school and could pretty much watch playoff games all day apart from the odd class. I won't be able to watch the Crew's game tomorrow.
  10. Put the Dodgers in the http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e67/ndistops/Dumpster.jpg and take a 1-0 series lead!
  11. After sneaking in the playoffs by becoming the first team this year to beat three teams in three days, the Southsiders head to Tampa to face the upstart Rays. The Fighting Ozzies have understandably not announced their starter yet, while the Rays will go with James Shields. Hopefully his pitching skills are better than his boxing skills... http://www.baseballslate.com/images/james-shields-swings-and-misses.jpg This series starts Thursday rather than Wednesday, which works out well for the guys from the Cell. Note: Don Orsillo, the Red Sox play by play man, will be broadcasting this series for TBS.
  12. HEY GUYS WE WON THE AL CENT AL CENTRAL
  13. I really hope we don't give in and sign him to an extension. We won't. We already signed can't-shoot Kirk Hinrich to a 13mil per deal to play shooting guard alongside Rose. I hate this organization. We're going to dump Ben Gordon like bad rubbish but they can't get enough of Kirk Hinrich. How many teams have ever been successful with their primary scorer being an undersized two guard who is a one dimensional player? Well, I suppose this doesn't have anything to do with the current situation, but he wouldn't have to be our primary scorer if we didn't insist on taking defense-first gangly tall guys with lottery picks two years in a row.
  14. Would I be content with the season as a whole? Yes. Would I be content with the series result? I think that's pretty obvious.
  15. Gardy hit and runs into a lineout DP in the top of the 1st and Blackburn hangs an 0-2 breaking ball in the bottom for a single. This is not going so well.
  16. Yeah, I won't be in any game threads. My friend is having people over for every playoff game. Probably for the best anyway.
  17. Cubs (who beat Philly in the NLCS) beat the Red Sox (who beat the Rays in the ALCS) in 5. Chicago is a mob scene.
  18. I really hope we don't give in and sign him to an extension. We won't. We already signed can't-shoot Kirk Hinrich to a 13mil per deal to play shooting guard alongside Rose. I hate this organization. We're going to dump Ben Gordon like bad rubbish but they can't get enough of Kirk Hinrich.
  19. Big words from someone going to the dentist that day, too.
  20. I remember a key double play with a chance to make a game of it - might have been the game-ender, I dunno. But honestly, my mind has wiped much of that NLCS. I don't remember Games 2 or 3 at all, only remember Game 4 because I listened to the radio of Aramis's slam, and only remember Game 1 because of Sammy.
  21. April 2008: Andy wants the Panthers to draft Mendenhall and is pissed when they pick Stewart. October 2008: Mendenhall gets hurt and Stewart is a very good second running back to complement DeAngelo. This is like the 4th straight year I haven't liked our first-rounder and the 4th straight year I've been wrong. Although both Carolina's tackles got hurt against Atlanta and didn't return. That could be trouble.
  22. I would absolutely love Lane Kiffin on the Panthers' coaching staff in some capacity. Anyway, Carolina should beat K.C., especially if they play as they did last week. The Chiefs have a very good running game, but so do Minnesota and Atlanta, and Carolina did a good job against both of those rushing attacks. This is a possible trap game, though, coming in between divisional games, especially with the trip to Tampa looming next week. Tampa plays Denver, so here's hoping good Jay Cutler returns for that one.
  23. By all means, make this signing. Lohse is a disaster waiting to happen. He had the best year of his professional life this season and still was only slightly better than league average.
