9/2 Astros (Backe) v Cubs (Z!) 7:05 WGN
BigSlick replied to Uber's topic in Fred Hornkohl Game Thread Forum
Looks like the Brewers are gonna knock around the Mets tonight -
I love how the Cardinals can only lose when I want them to win Just go 0-25 or whatever the rest of the season, it'll make me feel better and I'll know not to root for you
-
CUT EVERYONE GIVE UP ON THE SEASON
-
Well if we had any illusions of us coming back, they are pretty much gone now great
-
I don't understand the intense desire to make outs at an unrivaled pace You can take pitches, work some at bats and maybe get some walks or something, is that like, not in the cards for some reason?
-
Marquis with 8 K's...is that a career high? Of course Roy Oswalt is 1 hitting us with only 2 K's, thanks for making all sabermetrics look stupid
-
Good lord I guess I shouldn't be surprised the Mets will be shut out even with 4 innings against the Brewers bullpen
-
Yeah I really like the next 12 games coming up for the Cubs. Would love to see the Cubbies take each and every series and gain a few more on the Brewers.
-
You may have been right about Jim Edmonds but you are deathly wrong here
-
Uh... Their starters did, no "uhs" about it Eh, whatever. I find it hard anyone can come up with too much emotion over this 4 game set. We did pretty much what I thought we'd do. If we had a healthy and limber Zambrano we probably take 3 of 4.
-
Because playoff teams are better? How is this not obvious?
-
Just assume the win for them, the Pirates aren't any help. All we can do is win our game, and we're not gonna. If we could possibly reach their bullpen I'd have some hope
-
Pirates being 1-hit =D>
-
I definitely think we make the playoffs this year, but the Brewers are far from done. They're 5.5 up in the wild card so it would be in Yost's best interests to not run CC out there for 115 pitches every start. He wore down last year and they need him healthy. And it's the Pirates. Let him throw one more inning, get around 100-105, and let the pen finish it. They have no intention or hope of re-signing him, so they are probably hoping he breaks down after the playoffs. I really wish Hendry could have figured out a way to get him to Chicago. I certainly don't want him after this season. 'damaged goods'
-
yeah something tells me that teams aren't going to be falling all over themselves to trade for a RF who's below average offensively and is due $38m over the next 3 years. that is one ugly contract, fo' sho'. Yeah, I didn't think it was actually going to happen. Will Kosuke end up beating Jeromy Burnitz' 2005 OPS+ of 94? He's currently at 96. the cubs wanted an upgrade from matt murton so they ended up signing... matt murton. A lefty matt murton :-#
-
LOL at that second part. We aren't scoring anything until the 6th inning minimum
-
You could take 10-12 games a season from the best team in baseball and show them to someone and that person would think the team would have won 54 games or something Its no big deal
-
Lousy Cannuck Juicebag... Looking over Gagne's #s, his CY year in 03 is just [expletive]. 100 more K's than H(137-37), ERA+ of 335, 2 HR in 306 batters faced, just wow. How the mighty have fallen. Kinda off topic, but I really resent Gagne for overshadowing John Smoltz when they were hands down the most dominant closers in the NL for that 3 year stretch. Gagne did it with PEDs while I really have to assume Smoltz has always been clean, everything I've ever heard about him points towards class act all the way. I think Marmol will be an awesome closer when/if they decide to put him in that role. With such filthy stuff he's got a way of making batters look stupid and lacking in motors skills. Fun to watch, as is his getting fired up like a mini-Z. and jk about the Cannuck part. I heart Canadia and many of her bands. I hope he never becomes a closer and continues to be a fireman like has been
-
I'm not about to start betting against the Cubs but I'm not expecting them to win the World Series either. Considering the up in the air crazy-ness that is the playoffs, they have slightly better than a 1/8 chance to win. So anything they win is just gravy to me. I would love to see them beat the D-Backs though. :oops:
-
27 games to play and we've already equaled our record last year
-
Yet he remains in your sig... Yes. Go check the "Explain your username" post in the Off-topic Forum
-
Well duh, we all knew that was going to happen The bunt was stupid, can we talk about how that was dumb?
-
Keep swinging at ball 4 Ronny we know you wont take it
-
This just in: Ronny Cedeno is kind of a bad baseball player
-
Good Marmol is the best
