Good play by the Mets to get Hardy at the plate and keep it tied.

Man-love for DeRosa meter is on the rise! I love you, Mark. 2-1 Cubbies

Nice double clutch, Riot. You punk.

This game is almost as annoying as the others lately.

5 dollars.

WOW, did Soriano crack that one.

Wow, 96. That was a sick K.

Wow, UCLA. If 1st half Kevin Craft doesn't show up again they might actually be pretty good. The defense alone should win them some more games.

How many warning track flies to end the game do we have the last few years? This sucks.

Well, the Cubs are too good to not have a fake rally at some point. Too bad Kosuke is up.

I can barely remember when we were scoring runs.

Does North Dakota even have a college? They have a pretty darn good hockey team.

I heard them at one point discuss how Maury Wills should be in the Hall of Fame because he won an MVP during a year Willie Mays was ridiculous. Voter stupidity should not count towards HOF consideration.

I think the polls usually come out on Monday. They may be a day late this week because of the holiday.Normally they come out Sunday night, because that's always when I post the thread for the next week. I'm guessing they'll be out tomorrow this time around.

I never know when the next poll comes out after week 1 since games are always going on all week(end). Is it coming out tonight, tomorrow, Tuesday...?

Uhh because playoff teams have good pitchers? Jamie Moyer, Brett Myers and Doug Davis are not so good that we should be unable to score runs off of them. And certainly not enough that they should be able to get out of it whenever we threaten.

Nice job, asses. Things better get better against Houston.

Why does it seem like we have this much trouble scoring runs every game we play a playoff team? The Brewers being the apparent exception. Ramirez striking out trying to hit a 2 run homer with nobody on here is pretty predictable.

I guess Jimmy died. RIP.

I'm feeling something good out of Jimmy, Lee, Ramirez, Soto, (possibly DeRo).

Eckstein to the DBacks? I think they're purposely trying to get guys who will hurt us now.
