Billy Beane's fantasy. Yup. blah blah blah I made a joke. Also, its probably true, heck, I would love 8 guys that take lots of walks and hit lots of home runs, even if they can't run at all.

Not for long. 8-)

Ohio State looks like they'll sweep MSU by if they can keep the offense moving like this. I'll be at the Ill-MI game, so if any of you guys are lucky you'll see my Carlos-Zambrano-looking face.
-
Also notice that among the last 3 teams, the 2 teams alive in the ALCS are among the top 3 and the team that won the NL is objectively the best team in the NL.

Damn him for making a mistake. Guess what every single person on this team made stupid mistakes this year, not just Ronny He's made an inordinate amount of mistakes for how much playing time he's been granted. Its reasonable to be worried about him. I'd still prefer he get a chance to start over Theriot, but who knows.

Some people really have problems with the franchises in the NLCS. Who wants to watch the Dbacks and the Rockies? Lame franchises that haven't even existed for 30 years combined. I disagree with this, but I'm still not really caring whats happening. If these two teams were any good I'd be watching! If this was the 2001 Diamondbacks vs. the...well I guess the Rockies have never had a great team. Either way, I'd watch it.

I'm on the "whats the point" side, mostly because I'm pretty sure everyone took steroids. Everyone. Just assume this and you can get on with your life.

71 yards has never looked so far.
-
I wish I could swear. This is vaguely reminscent of every Bears game in 2005.
-
The last 10-12 plays have ripped my heart out. Why must you do this to me Illini?

Dusty a Candidate for Reds Manager

As poor of a defensive outfield consisting of Soriano and Dunn would be, I would die if we could get him. -
Damn you Derrek Lee, Aramis Ramirez and Soriano for having 3 bad games!
-
Everytime Juice drops back I scream my head off. There is absolutely no reason why we should ever pass the ball. Just mix in equal parts Spread Option, I-Form, and maybe some quick screens. thats it.

At least Illinois won. :) Oh but the Bears and Cubs this weekend, oh man. :(

Hey guys, lets not make an out until this game is tied. -

Doug Davis is looking pretty all over the place, we need to knock him around. -
Are you serious? When you scorch a ball that would be a sure double 5 feet to the right or left and its caught, you hold that against the hitter? Its not like they have targetting lasers or something. IMO, the job of the hitter is to hit the ball as hard as he can, he can't do anything else.
-
Better than Riot. Not ideal, but I don't mind. At least the riot can put together some competent at bats every once in a while. Jacque Jones at bat embarrasses me to be a Cubs fan. And yet, somehow, when Theriot came up to the plate, he was slightly more likely to make an out. Not arguing that fact, but I still have yet to figure out why.

Booo on Jacque batting 2

Or we don't? We don't have to force a game 5. This will be an interesting series, I fear for a Dempster meltdown in a crucial game.
-
Calls get made, things happen. The ump was waiting to make teh call because he wanted to see if Barrett held onto the ball. He did think that Holliday slid under the tag, it would be tough for anyone without instant replay to say. We have instant replay and crazy camera angles so we can make more informed decisions, he has to make one in a few seconds. Either way, I feel like Colorado deserved this one. Well fought, guys.
-
Oh, Soul, thinking that Illinois wont give a game away is silly. The only thing Illinois does is make stupid mistakes in an attempt to give away games. 15 yard punts? Hitting the punt returner when he calls fair catch? Thats the name of the game. 8-) The only way we win is when we build up a big enough lead to hold off all of our stupid mistakes.

Most ESPN "experts" predict a Cubs victory
BigSlick replied to kente777's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Has nothing to do with what you posted... but everytime I read one of your posts, I think you're the dude with the bloody nose in your av. I wonder if you guys think I'm a famous young hot girl. sorry, did you say something? I was staring at your Rusch's JoePa? On a Cubs board? Shouldn't you be drawing up gameplans or recruiting players or whatever they have your senile butt doing? :wink: BTW, on Baseball Between The Numbers, I would recommend it to anyone who is a fan of baseball. Its just well written and sums up a lot of the strange acronyms easily and succinctly that you hear thrown around. Plus its just a good read.
