  1. what difference does it make, the man is the new "4-3" pierre, he can't lift the ball out of the infield anymore
  2. We couuld offer them everyone in our farm system and it probably wouldn't be accepted thats how bad our farm system is right now
  3. you know its a bad day when you can get 2 grand slams and still lose
  4. Harden and Dempster were significant upgrades
  5. Gotta say, this is way more preferable than 2003 Honestly, I almost want to thank them for not getting my hopes up too much.
  6. Way ahead of you. I'm already looking forward to winter meetings! The only way I'll be looking forward to the winter meeting is if Hendry dumps most of the gutless a-holes on this team. argh screw you guys for winning 97 games
  7. even if we were to come back and take this series theres no way we'd make it to the world series let alone win it just let all the depression sink in at least the brewers and sox aren't probably going anywhere
  8. Gotta say, even if Kosuke Fukudome hits a homer here we're still not winning the game Now THATS depressing
  9. lol i'm not even watching anymore so when i saw that we scored a run i was like, sweet we're only down 5 now thats somewhat doable but i didn't notice we gave up a run at the top half of the inning, lol nice job
  10. Gotta say it would be nice to see Soriano not go 0-5 tonight I know I'm asking a lot here guys
  11. gotta say, if we're going out like chumps at least we'll have some company thanks Brewers, for making my misery slightly less painful. Do you guys even have a starter for game 3 yet?
  12. Hillenmeyer has been absolutely brutal this year and I dont think I want to see him starting ever again
  13. Gotta say, getting some scheudenfreude from watching the Brewers fail Though I know its in our best interest for them to move on in the playoffs.
  14. Lilly vs. Manny scares me much, much more
  15. Why should I be nervous? We have a little better than 1/8 chance of winning the World Series, so a loss is to be expected. What would be unexpected is a World Series victory.
  16. Relax chum, on the bright side the Mets will claw and gnash to get in, and the Brewers will calmly disembowel our B team and then promptly get squashed
  17. It was so amusing seeing them jump and down on the mound, like they won the world series. It was almost cute. Seriously? Give them a break. They're tied for the final playoff spot and just had a walkoff win. yeah i'm not begrudging them for celebrating, but i was listening to the game on WFAN and the guy was talking about how the mets have hung in there and come back after falling behind, and he was building up all the drama.... it's just hard to take seriously when they're barely beating a team that's not trying to win. not gonna give them a break right here going to have a nice night on the town, ciao
  18. It's been a long time since he had 2 hr in a single game. I'm just saying he makes the play. In no way was that a commentary about Hoffpauir's night. Not to mention the 'double' by Church in the 4th was a play Lee probably makes as well
  19. It was so amusing seeing them jump and down on the mound, like they won the world series. It was almost cute.
  20. What we learned today: The Cubs AAA team matches up pretty well with the Mets Also Bob Howry needs to be taken out back and shot
  21. His at bat in the ninth was similarly brutal I'ma gonna swing at balls in the dirt! Woohoo
  22. I'm kinda upset that we put 91 pitches on Harden who kinda needs rest in a meaningless game Yank him...
  23. Gotta say, not too happy with the way our 2 best pitchers have pitched lately I would just pull Harden out right now and throw him in a hyperbaric rest chamber and shoot him to the moon then call him back for the playoffs
  24. I'm typically far more positive, there are tons worse on this board. I'm just getting far too many 2006 Cards vibes from this team. I'd almost rather not see them. The worse they are, the more crippled, injured and debilitated they are, the scarier they are in my mind. Obviously anything can happen, but I don't see why you wouldn't have more fear of the Phils, Mets, & Dodgers then. All 3 of those teams carry with them a greater expectation that they could get hot and carry themselves past us than the Brewers. Plus why are you comparing the pixie-dust laden Cards to the woeful 26-year drought Brewers? The two organizations are about as far apart in terms of "miracle production" as you can possibly imagine. I guess since the playoffs are such a crapshoot I fear our team getting overconfident against a weaker team (not that it would really do much to affect the outcome) and the incessant "omg we choked again, blah blah blah" that would come from it. We've had such a great season, its such a shame that everything hinges on a few games in October for all the glory.
