That's gotta be it for Peavy though, right?

Man, do I hate Miles

Wow.. :shock: That last shot was almost amazing. This series looks like another great matchup. I don't think I've ever seen so many great games in one NBA postseason.

So this is the one instance when Lou is not knee-jerk? Awesome.

That's exactly what I was thinking. How awesome has this been for him? Tearing the cover off the ball and now scoring the game winning walk-off run. He just looks like he's having the greatest time of his life. And I say good for him. 10 years in the minors, and from all reports, a really good guy. He definitely deserves it. 11 years in the minors actually. He's literally logged more years in the minors than Crash Davis.

He said "all the time I put the ball in play I get a hit" haha

Raleigh. There are plenty of great hockey fans here in NC. I'm not one of them (although I have enjoyed this postseason and could see myself paying more attention to the sport in the future), but there is still plenty of public attention and dedication to the team. But you would know better I'm sure since you're closer to the community. Will it ever reach the popularity here as in of northern states? Probably not. But they're far from the Florida Marlins when it comes to communal support.

I'm slowly but surely coming to the realization that Hockey is not completely and utterly worthless. I've actually been looking forward to the Canes game tonight all day (though it seems like they would be a longshot to pull it off now). Next year I'll try to make a conscious effort to somewhat follow the sport. I'll still probably ignore most of the regular season - just like with NBA. Still, I'm head and shoulders more interested in the sport this year than ever before. Anyways, good luck to your Blackhawks and hopefully the Canes will meet them in the Finals!

Haha, good luck getting anyone else to believe that Haha I don't need to get anyone else to belive it. It was inside. And it was called a ball. It doesnt matter because he struck out to end the game. Oh well. So what the hell is the point of bringing it up? To confirm that a meaningless pitch was indeed called a ball? fwiw the ump was horrible during the duration that I watched the game. My concerns are with the injuries that the Cubs have endured, not some meaningless ball/strike call. That would be like me visiting a brewers forum and bringing up a ball/strike call after they had lost Fielder, Hart, and Gallardo in a single week. I'm not calling you a troll, but it does seem pretty petty. Because everyone was saying it was a strike and it wasn't. And yes the Ump was horrible the entire game/series. And its not trolling. And what the hell does all your injuries have to do with ANYTHING? A. Who cares if "everyone" was saying it was a strike? (i.e. it's a subjective call so why bother being contrary at an opposing team's message board?) Everyone is going to have a differnt opinion and view of the call. You stating "it was a ball" means absolutely nothing. B. I made it a point to say you were not trolling, but being petty. Please take note. C. INJURIES matter because it has been an extremely frustrating week to be a Cubs fan. We've lost Zambrano, Ramirez, and Lee for the immediate future. It's nice to win a game and the last post that I want to see in such a game thread is one bickering a ball/strike call from a brewer fan's perspective. I know that everyone has their own opinion, but it wasn't even an important call. You commenting about a single, isolated, and ultimately irrelevant ball/strike call is pointless. That's all. Congrats on the series win.

that was like 5 inches off the ground

Prediction: Soto gets a base hit

hahahaha very Cubs-like. Thanks brewers

Hit parade :cool:

We need him now more than ever, too.

I haven't watched much Cubs baseball as of late. I hope you are correct though.

You are all welcome. I knew I'd jinx him into doing something productive.

WTG Fonzie - lets keep this momentum going (oh wait, Miles is up...)

I really hope Scales starts getting most of Miles ABs soon

I'd like the graduation gift of a Cubs victory. Geovany breaks out of his slump in a big way and communicates to the world that he's gonna pick up the slack while Aramis is out of commission. Bradley homers again and D Lee goes 4-4 with 2 doubles. Gallardo gets knocked out of the game in the third as the Cubs roll 8-3 over the Brewers. ETA: Also, nice job Vance - I like the positive energy.

If it keeps Fontenot at 2B when Ariamis gets hurt next time and keeps Miles out of the lineup, then I'm all for it. If I were the least bit superstitious, I'd fully support permabanning you. :-# The first thing that ran through my head when he was writhing in pain was that post. I had in mind another hamstring tweak that would put him on the shelf for a couple of days - sorry :(

Probably no other teams that actually had an interest in acquiring the talents of Joey Gathright. It's essentially a Freel - Scales decision, as the Cubs would have been on the hook for Gathright's 800K either way.

That article says it's a done deal, no? Might want to change the thread title. It does now, but it didn't before. Doesn't cost the Cubs any extra money. ByeByeBobbyScales. Wow - the page FOX page was updated between my last post and your post. I was about to ask how you figure it doesn't cost the Cubs any extra money but then refreshed the page and saw it had just been updated again. Eh, I guess he has to be better than Gathright. Whatever.
