  1. Yeah 9 out of 14 heading home isn't all that bad. You really think we get swept in Fla? We always do
  2. Aramis the first Cub with 20 homers/30 doubles in 5 straight years since Hack Wilson...
  3. I seriously want him nowhere near the playoff rotation. Z - Harden - Dempster. Repeat. Get Gaudin/Marshall in there. I'd be fine with that also, but I'm not sure Lou would be. I haven't searched the board today - Has Lou named Marshall the starter on Sunday? yes Len and Bob said he'd be going Saturday, with Dempster getting an extra day and going Sunday.

  5. Held up to make sure the ball didn't get through...no big problem with that.
  6. Walking Aramis to get to Reed is not going to even remotely work out for Atlanta.
  7. Soriano LF Fukudome RF Lee 1B Ramirez 3B Johnson CF Soto C DeRosa 2B Theriot SS Lilly P Escobar SS Prado 2B Jones 3B Infante LF Kotchman 1B Francoeur RF Kotsay CF Sammons C Glavine P
  8. Reed would have to be on there, probably Soriano too. I'll throw out DeRosa, Lee and Blanco as the other three, with Theriot being the worst.
  9. This is a weird statement to make about the third winningest manager of all time. His consistency with every team he's been with is amazing. You and others may not like some of his tactics, but it's really hard to argue with the results. 'Third winningest manager of all time' smacks of using pitcher's W-L to me. You can win a lot of games with Canseco, McGwire and Pujols in your lineups.
  10. That quote doesn't mean a whole lot except to prove that Jimmy has done nothing but say and do all the right things since becoming a Cub.
  11. Shark will probably end up pitching a few innings after Marshall. Really, the only difference is that Marshall will go first.
  12. Freakin' Chinese just went 1-2 in the women's 200 fly. And some fan tossed a miniature drum into the pool, too...
  13. The AL East is the best division in baseball and it isn't remotely close.
  14. Heartily disagree.
  15. Penn State tried to beat that, as their original OOC was Coastal Carolina, Syracuse, Temple and someone like LA Tech. They swapped that last game for Oregon St., but it's still a total joke. A year or two ago their OOC had 3 of the bottom 5 teams in 1-A from the previous year i blame syracuse for being a joke. They're on ND's schedule too and I'm also blaming them.
  16. Judges definitely screwed Johnson. She got I believe a 9.1 execution score and there's no way it should've been less than 9.5 in my opinion. She was wonderful. I don't like this degree of difficulty thing, especially when it devalues some events compared to others (bars were ludicrously important in the women's competition with high difficulty scores, but for some reason USA men destroyed high bar and it seemed insignificant as China blew right past them on a different event with higher start scores).
  17. Trying as hard as I can not to defend Derrek Lee for being DPLee this year, but I've seen him get a giant crap ton of strikes called higher and lower than that. I swear he has the biggest strike zone in terms of actual called strikes in the league.
  18. Dominique Moceanu in Atlanta had years on these girls
  19. I think before Saturday's game they said we were 25 over with Soriano leading off and 1 under when he is not, which given that we split the 2 games since would still hold up. 46-21 with him 25-26 without Wow... not exactly a tiny sample size either... Actually, I just realized, Soriano didn't lead off the first two games and they said we were 44-19 with him leading off, so actually we are 45-22 with him, 26-25 without. Still, pretty pronounced difference.

  21. The 0-2 automatic ball on anything that's not a gopher ball Showboating umps (ROB DRAKE) The Wrigley wind always seemingly helping the other team and not us Web gems for routine plays that guys made look harder (Edmonds aside, David Wright's 'barehand' play comes immediately to mind)
  22. While you're on that topic, the fact that the umps made Rich Hill stop doing his little pause during his windup despite much more blatantly illegal things pitchers do (like the pickoff moves you mentioned) that aren't enforced at all.
  23. It would be a mad house if they erected a video replay board just to show a foul ball call. There are TVs in the upper and lower decks...
  24. Game 2 will be on CSN+ as originally scheduled, for those who don't know.
