  1. Given the team, the park and the minor bullpen struggles lately, I give Demp the 8th. I'd let Marshall finish it out. Who?
  2. The Cardinals lose? That's unpossible. Give it time. This is San Diego.
  3. The "umps trust Kosuke's eye" era lasted about 2 weeks.
  4. Fontenot now has more HRs than Fukudome.
  5. Rick Ankiel doubles in Miles to tie it. 1-1.
  6. Nice 1st inning. Hopefully Dempster keeps up his performance of late.
  7. They'll still beat Penn State. And probably Notre Dame, too. :(
  8. I'd say Dempster. I'm guessing fans of other teams are pretty miffed at the fact that Demp has been pitching so well. Theriot is right up there though. It's like we have a better version of David Eckstein all the sudden. Who would have expected Theriot to be doing this well? I know I didn't. I don't think Theriot's performance relative to expectations is even in the same league as Dempster's. If someone wanted to rank the ridiculousness of Cubs performances this year, it'd probably go Dempster, Edmonds, and a toss-up between Soto and Theriot.
  9. Wow that's quite amazing that we get a 3 gamer vs. AZ and not face Haren or Webb. I bet Brewers/Cardinals fans are bitching that we play Arizona 6 times this year and faced Haren once and Webb 0 times. Things will more than even out if we draw Arizona in a playoff series and have to face them possibly 4 times.
  10. For purposes of this poll, I'll limit it to the two Cardinal hitters that currently have 5 more homers than any Cub, even though Kyle Lohse, Braden Looper (batting version), most of their bullpen, Skippy Schumaker, and really any player on their team besides Glaus and Pujols (always good) or Izturis (still pretty bad) are all pretty good candidates. So your choices are: Rick Ankiel - former pitcher who flamed out, used HGH, came back and suddenly is now one of the best hitting CFs in baseball, although horrible in the field Ryan Ludwick - 30-year-old minor leaguer who has been injured his entire life and suddenly isn't anymore now that he's in Cardinal white and red. BTW, for those who thought he was slowing down, his July OPS is over 1.100.
  11. Both looked absolutely awesome. Dempster had pinpoint command and Marmol's slider was nasty.
  12. Stopped when I saw ND at 22. They get favoritism in basketball too I guess. To have them over Purdue (and I'm sure a couple other teams) just isn't right. Purdue and ND's win percentage are very close (both in the mid 60's). They are close in pretty much every way and are perhaps the two best programs without a title (can't think of another at the moment). The different is Purdue's extra final four appearance and the fact that Purdue has the most Big Ten titles more so than the other 5 or so Big Ten schools that will likely be on the list. I would probably exclude both from the top 25 due to lack of title (would have to research the schools that aren't in to make sure) but if one gets in its the one that has beaten many of the other schools on the list most and thats Purdue. Knowing the way these silly lists are done, ND probably got in because of stopping UCLA's 88 game win streak or some other such nonsense.
  13. Aramis can just plain do whatever he wants to anybody if he hits a homer here.
  14. Does anyone else remember Kosuke walking all the time?
  15. Skippy Schumaker playing out of position in CF makes a diving catch in the gap.
  16. Put the Giants in the http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e67/ndistops/Dumpster.jpg
