Very well put. Though Dempster has put up numbers that were on the very high end of projections for Hill. Oh, of course. My (barely visible) point is that the Cubs have had a lot go wrong and a lot go right this season. I can't think of any really good team in recent years that had so many players be better or worse than expected by the kind of margin that Hill, Dempster, Reed Johnson, etc. have.

Kyle Lohse threw at Edinson Volquez today after Volquez lost one that went up and in near Lohse. Edinson Volquez. A freaking pitcher. I seriously can't believe sometimes what a gutless, low-class organization St. Louis is, especially considering they always get so much credit for being the complete opposite.

5.5 games up...magic number is 33!
-
Remember last September, when Ned Yost kept taking Braun out of close games for defense, only to have his spot come up for a really important AB?
-
You know, it's still impossible to conceive that Rich Hill has done literally nothing, Derrek Lee has been mediocre at best since April, there's no one on the Cubs that has as many homers as Rick Ankiel, the three best teams in the league are in our division, Soriano has missed almost 50 games, and yet here we are.

Haha, Park pulls a Lilly with his glove.
-
Huh. That kinda sucks.
-
Probably more lurkers there than at the park on a given day. -

Suck on it, Florida. :)
-
So what do you consider Friday? Hadn't even thought about that. That'd make three.
-
If the Cubs can hold on, this is the second absolutely HUGE comeback win against Florida this year. Both on Sunday, no less.
-
Wow, Fredi Gonzalez. I wanted him instead of Lou originally. I sure as hell don't anymore. He's been an idiot this series.
-
I hate this team and I hate this park. Just get rid of them.
-
Houston? Arizona? 2 more series that add to my point. This team scalds the ball for outs insanely often. I guess it's a good sign but it drives me nuts.
-
I have never seen a Cubs team have so many hard-hit outs as this year.
-
I wonder what exactly they're rooting for him to do... ...or maybe the Marlins have no fans except for a couple of jackasses who showed up once five years ago.
-
Lee has been a bum for nearly three months now. It's really pissing me off.
-
The difference is that it might actually help our chances to hit him - we can't seem to get him out with any kind of consistency and whenever he gets a hit it seems like it's an XBH.
-
Jerry Meals wasn't done screwing us. That call wasn't even close.
-
You got it right, the umps all have vendettas against the Cubs. Just reporting what I see. Demp isn't getting either corner, and the 3-1 pitch to Kosuke was not a strike at all. Great, a double.
-
I don't even care that he didn't go around, he shouldn't have moved the damn bat to begin with. BTW, the ump is squeezing Demp and giving Volstad everything. This is the third day in a row of that crap.
-
This stadium makes us incompetent, I'm convinced. Luckily for Daryle Ward's getting a meatball from Kevin Gregg or else we'd be well on our way to a sweep.
-
I'm pretty sure she skipped part of the anthem.

Did anyone catch BBTN's shot @ Cubs fans last night?
Andy replied to Schwarber Fan's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
I think playing in the AL helps ALOT. The AL is head and shoulders above the NL. False. Maybe not head and shoulders but.. yeah its not really that close. Of the really good teams in the AL besides the Angels (Rays, Red Sox, Twins and White Sox - if you want to call the last two really good), the Angels probably play 24-30 games against them, as opposed to like 60 against Oakland, Seattle and Texas. And the Cubs play the Astros, Pirates and Reds. And the entire NL West, and the Braves and Nats. Entire NL West: 33 games Braves and Nats: 12 Mets, Marlins, Phillies, Brewers, Cardinals: 50+ Division means more than league. If Oakland, Seattle and Texas were in the NL they would have a better record, belive that. If they were in the West, sure. In the East, probably. In the Central? I doubt it. Houston is better than any of them, let alone the top 3 teams.
