    Cubs.com says Wolf tomorrow night for the Stros.

    I'm getting very excited for the game. I want to see what Stewart in particular, but also Williams, can do against an elite run defense. I'm going to try and be in this thread tomorrow, so I hope I don't tick all of you off. :D Go Panthers!

    The first few minutes of Notre Dame/Michigan was like a dream sequence. It was about time Michigan looked horrible and dug themselves an insurmountable hole early in a game in this series after we did it three of the previous five years. That said, MSU and Purdue are the next two games, and both of those teams are better than Michigan (so far anyway). If we can split those two games I'll feel good about an 8-win season. Golden Tate is going to be a star. Also: Ball State goes 3-0 by beating Akron 41-24. Big game at IU next week could decide if we go into Central Michigan unbeaten in mid-November.

    This Astros debacle just got added to the list.

    Going to the game today through a flood watch that is lasting all day. Go Irish. Beat Wolverines.

    Howry is the replacement for the S word on the filter now I believe. Can't be retired. [expletive]. It worked!

    Jarrett had a pretty decent game against San Diego, including a really nice leaping catch on the final drive. I have high hopes for him, but for now I think he's the 4th receiver behind Moose, Hackett and Smith. Hopefully not having the pressure on him that he did last year (being drafted to be the no. 2 essentially after Keyshawn was inexcusably released) will help him.

    At least some of us have Bears (or football in general).... you don't even like that. Sucks :mrgreen: If the Cubs were going to get a series washed out, a weekend where I'm going to a Notre Dame football game and getting to actually watch the Panthers (a rare treat) was a good one for it to happen.

    The Cubs want to gain an advantage by playing the damn games. I don't think the neutral-site garbage has a lot to do with that. Cubs fans would be close to outnumbering Houston fans even in Houston. The Astros are the ones trying to play with the schedule till it comes out the way they like.

    Ted Lilly gave Braden Looper a look the other day after getting buzzed that plainly said "you hit me with a pitch and I will walk out to the mound and stab you in the heart, followed by icepicking your family to death. Do NOT eff with me." So why Felipe's yakking when he plays us again this year, I do not know. Funny how cocky you get when you get a hold of the Cardinal magic that enables a guy cut by the worst team in baseball to suddenly OPS about .950.

    Just about everything Jimmy did, especially the "HEY HEY" homer vs Atlanta and the STL game. The fact that almost every Cubs player has a big late-inning hit this year, go-ahead, tying, closing-the-gap, or extending-the-lead variety. In that vein - Pie's homer vs the Mets, Cedeno's slam vs the Mets, Aramis's huge homers vs Colorado, SF, Philly and the Sox, Ward's homer in Florida, Reed's homers against Arizona and...(there's another one, I think Philly). Soto/Fielder. Lilly/Molina. Backe jumping around like a nutcase after getting screwed on a strike three call with the bases loaded. Dempster's awkward hug with Marisa Miller. The 8th inning magic vs Florida. The Reed Johnson walk-off single after the Marmol implosion vs San Fran. The time Marmol came in a game vs Houston (I think the same game as Jimmy's catch) with bases loaded and no one out and I told my friend I was watching with that Houston wasn't scoring a run, and they didn't. There are a lot more. I've crammed a lot of memories out of this team because I know it will probably never get any better than this summer. ETA: Soto's inside the park home run vs Houston, and also how could I forget Jeff Samarzdija improbably playing for the Cubs after two years as one of my favorite college football players.

    Maybe they meant the 37 yard line? Defensive and special teams scores, my friend. Both teams are capable of those at least. Seriously, I don't know how you get 37. I guess if it's too low everyone takes the over, but both teams have pretty good defenses and pretty awful offenses. I think both teams will look better offensively than they have thus far this season, but whether that translates to 37 points is another thing.
  13. Andy
    Steve Smith finished last season with over 1,000 yards receiving with 2 and a half games of Jake Delhomme, and the rest of the season with David Carr, Vinny Testaverde and Matt Moore. In my biased mind, that's still pretty damn impressive. Not that it matters since he obviously won't be in there, but he's still an elite receiver.
  14. Andy
    I'm sure you were sincere, but this wins the award for backhanded compliment of the thread. We'll take them any way we can get them at this point.

    CUBS WIN! MAGIC NUMBER 11!
  16. Andy
    RAMIREZ! NICE TAG! Good play Lee too!!!
  17. Andy
    I have a bad feeling about this. Very bad.
  18. Andy
    Derrek Lee is completely useless.

    Come on, did he jump up and down, do a throat slash, flap his arms like a rooster, and mess his pants? close. he jumped, gave a primal yell, squatted, clenched his fists.....let's not be complete homers about this. I'm on record saying I don't care that either act like they do, but let's not pretend that the Cubs don't do it The difference is that Marmol does it after he just got himself out of a potentially game-saving jam, and Valverde does it after getting 3 straight outs with his team up 2 or 3 runs. and he's not a Cub. don't forget that part Rationalization it is, but the next time a Cub pitcher goes nuts after a meaningless strikeout, I'll be sure to call him out just for you.

    Fontenot in front of Soto? Ok...

    My friends went to a September 2004 game vs Cincinnati (yeah, I know, great series) and claim to have seen Ronnie Woo Woo turn down a crack dealer. So he's got that going for him anyway.
  23. Andy
    What's not so easy to avoid are the yells of "Woo!" from the thousand or so people around him whenever he starts it up. (And yes, I admit I've actually been one of those people.)

    The page 1 schedule has been updated to reflect Texas/Arkansas's postponement and Air Force/Houston being bumped up two hours.

    http://www.carolinagrowl.com/Read.aspx?Story=725 Good lord, Muhammad said something similar the other day. I have a feeling we'll get nothing out of either as they get caught up in playing the Bears. And in answer to Cuse asking if we can stop the run, we're decent, not great. Good linebackers. Forte will probably get his yards, though, somewhere between 3-4 a carry I'm guessing.
