    Mizzou's off next week, so it'll be the following Monday. Oh, I wasn't keeping track of what week you were talking about. Yeah, you'll find out by that Monday - it's possible you could find out sometime next week though. Monday would be the latest.

    Thanks. UK's my official semi-bandwagon team for the year. I always like seeing former doormats become forces to be reckoned with.
  3. Andy
    Mizzou fans, you'll find out the start time of your game on Monday most likely. ND/Purdue, BTW, will almost certainly be noon on ESPN. It was between that and a 3:30 ABC, but a battle of unbeatens between MSU and Wisconsin would have to take precedence.

    Boy, would that be a disaster. Z's head would explode.

    mark derosa should be there too. .297/.376/.423 he had a career year at 31, and is now doing even better at 32. That's a good point, I forgot about him. Couldn't have forecasted his 2007.

    4-3 and we're in. No excuses now. Hell, 3-4 would probably do it.

    Marmol will have gotten out of a bigger situation already in this game and Howry will have pitched the 8th. Dempster FTWS
  8. Andy
    Yes, stack them.

    We should've had Southpaw start. But I'm ok with saving him for the playoffs I guess. How the hell are we in first?

    I stopped watching with about 8 minutes left. It's not even that I was giving up. I just didn't want to watch anymore. But hey, at least we keep pulling Jimmy for Sharpley for no real reason at the end of games.

    You know, I was happy when Ball State almost beat Michigan last year. That was a game that we had no business winning. But this game pissed me off. We should have beaten Nebraska. How do you go up 37-28, with the ball, with like 10 minutes left, and throw a pick-six? HOW??? Nate Davis threw for 422 yards and 3 TDs and scored another on the ground, but I can't be happy with him. Dante Love had 214 yards receiving, but dropped what would have been the game-winning TD on the last drive. I can't be happy with him. I can't be happy with any of it. I suppose it's a positive sign for the program that I'm pissed after a 1-point loss to Nebraska in Lincoln. If this team had shown up against Miami and not thrown that pick-six, BSU would be 4-0 and on their way to the top 25 if they kept winning. The team is that close to breaking through. If they play like this, there's really no reason to not finish 10-2 - a team with an offense like ours should beat Illinois and IU on the road and shouldn't lose any MAC games. Uggh...I hate this. I've been here 4 years, and in that time we've come damn close to beating a big conference team 4 times (BC - 2004, IU - 2006, Mich - 2006, and Nebraska - 2007). This 'so close' feeling is too common.

    Praying for a redux of this http://www.brendanloy.com/blog/images/spartans-defendthes.jpg

    I daresay some on here will try and procure extras, which you could secure for, say, 2 times the face value. :D

    The thing is, XZero just explained in excruciating detail why we haven't been any more or less lucky than any other decent Cubs team of the 21st century. Here's the list of every Cub I can think of who has performed better than I would've thought: Theriot Fontenot Ward Soto Marquis (to some extent) R. Hill (to some extent) Marshall Kendall Dempster Marmol And the thing is, of all of those, only the two relievers, Marquis, Hill and Theriot have gotten enough playing time, over the course of the whole season, to really have made a major statistical impact on the season. Whereas Zambrano, Jones, Soriano, Lee, Barrett, Floyd, and Eyre, to name a few, have been significantly below a) recent performance, b) career averages or c) both. In fact, as Cubs teams go, I think over the whole season, luck has had less of an impact on this one than any I remember following.

    'I'm not a true fan, I'm just here for the chicken wings' was posted like two weeks after I registered here but is probably still one of the top 5 things I've ever read here.
  17. Andy
    Kevin Hart should start that game.
  18. Andy
    How the hell are we in first?
  19. Andy
    Seriously, though, if the Brewers hadn't bent over for the NL in June and July and most of September, the Cubs are probably a good 7-10 games out right now. Take care of your own business, then you can whine.
  20. Andy
    Note that the Cubs didn't give up more than 3 runs in any of those games. Probably the most important thing those games have in common. Hey Brewers, you don't want to lose the division? Don't go below .500 two straight months is a great way to start. And don't blow 13 three-run-plus leads to lose the game. No sympathy from here.
  21. Andy
    I love the Cubs. And I love Aramis. We're dangerously close to that star.

    Cubs were up 0.5 games on the Giants and 2.5 games on the Astros with 8 games to play (and only 7 to play for the Astros). The Cubs were up 3 in the loss column at that point. Geez, Houston really had no business getting in at all
  23. Andy
    1B Ump wants to go home. Let's win this thing.
  24. Andy
    Have the Cubs been up 2 games yet this year?
  25. Andy
    He changed it later to just 'the best sports show period'
