CubsBears29

Sorry dude, but that is quite unhot. The chest isn't even eye catching. Let me repost a winning pic from Thursday's thread....... http://69.63.148.121/_images/articles/2008/06/07/untitled.bmp

If I was Torres, I'd watch my back. Brewers need to turn it around and like NOW, so FatPrince needs a pitcher to bowl over again; to light that spark in the dugout. :grin:

True, and I have to admit I was feeling the pressure to implode myself... but honestly... what are the odds a team would hit a 1-6 skid to start September and still come out of it with no visible harm done (thanks to the Brewers going 2-5 in that same stretch). I love that they are choking so hard, but a big part of our nearing clinch status so soon is thanks in large part to Milwaukee. 3-11 in September now. 0-7 vs NYM & PHI in that time.

Ok, so you have a pitcher working on a no-hitter after 8, showing no ill effects from the problem(s), and lighting the gun up all night - who either just hit, or hasn't yet, 100 pitches - but you want him pulled?? I can only shake my head at the idiocricy of that statement. Oh, and then he says that... Uhhh, welcome back to mid-July, Steve.

Eh, no. Wise.

And Farnsy gives up a GS of his own. 11-7 Sox. :( I know I'm supposed to say "don't care who we'll play in the World Series, as long as we make it"... but since its no guarantee we will win the World Championship... losing it to the White Sox would be the worst possible team. They would NEVER shut up about it. Cmon Minnesota... do me a HUGE favor and keep those jagoffs home!

Cubs fans deserve the celebration of winning the division... so since it can't be done on Wednesday in any scenario out there... then I don't care when they do it............ so long as its by Sunday.

Screw that, let's just win our next 4 and do the Divisional Crown celebration after the game on Thursday!

Just from the Cubs alone, this season has been remarkable at points; - No-hitter tonight from Carlos - HUGE come back win vs the Rockies - The big offensive game vs the White Sox - 2 HR game from Edmonds - The grand slam from Reed Johnson in Arizona (that I think was a win?) Man... if this season doesn't end up at least in the World Series... there is no justice in this world. At all.

So how long before McLain petitions the MLB office - and the players, the players union - for a protest; that the Cubs had an unfair advantage with the game(s) being played in Milwaukee, thus them winning and Carlos pitching the no-hitter tonight??

Oh, and to the genius who prevented me from watching that game in its entirety, go soapdrop yourself, ya stupid piece of Howry. :x

HE DID IT, HE DID IT, HE DID IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NO HITTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :yahoo: \:D/ =D> :clapping: :hug: :stickman: *runs around screaming like a little girl all hyped up on skittles*

2 down!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :beg: :beg: :beg: :beg: :beg: :beg:

They're showing the WGN feed! yes!

Whoever it is that is not allowing this game to not be on national TV, I would like to take a swing as well.

Hate to jinx anything, but assuming we hold on tonight.......... NL HFA M# : 9 Divisional Crown M# : 7 Postseason Birth M# : 7

Again. Unless we let the Brewers sweep us in the upcoming 3-game series... they are done, definitely in the Central, and maybe in the WC too. 3-11 since September started for Milwaukee. 2 of those wins vs SD and 1 vs CIN.

4-0 Phils now. Unless this game turns around, and unless we let them sweep us next week... this Brewers team is done.

2-0 Phils after the pitcher drives in a 2-out run. Guys on 1st and 2nd still, 2 down, b2.

Reds win. Wow. That Arizona team has just rolled over and died. 4.5 back with 16 to go for them & 15 for LAD.

For us non-Chicagoans wanting to watch baseball that pertains to us, FSN Wisconsin will be showing the Brewers/Phillies game. [ch 669 on DirecTV]

Since us non-Chicagoans will be screwed out of the live game tonight, at least on TV, the MIL/PHI game will be available on FSN Wisconsin [ch 669 on DirecTV]. For those in the viewing area, or deemed in their "DMA" by MLB broadcasting rights.

What about tomorrow's game vs the Astros (or did I miss that in your post somewhere)? If Cubs win/MIL loses tonight, you're right, the number drops to 7. BUT if Cubs win again tomorrow, that number drops to 6. Setting up these scenarios for the first half of the final homestand: CUBS win both games vs HOU / MIL is swept by PHI; - Cubs get swept by Brewers; M# following those 3 will be, 6 - Cubs go 1-2, M# following those 3 will be, 4 - Cubs go 2-1, M# following those 3 will be, 2 - Cubs sweep, NL Central will be clinched CUBS go 1-1 vs HOU / MIL is swept by PHI; - Cubs get swept by Brewers, M# will be, 7 - Cubs go 1-2, M# will be, 5 - Cubs go 2-1, M# will be, 3 - Cubs sweep, M# will be, 1 CUBS go 0-2 vs HOU / MIL is swept by PHI; - Cubs swept by Brewers, M# will be, 8 - Cubs go 1-2, M# will be, 6 - Cubs go 2-1, M# will be, 4 - Cubs sweep, M3 will be, 2 CUBS win both vs HOU / MIL wins last game vs PHI; - 3-0 MIL = M# : 7 - 2-1 MIL = M# : 5 - 2-1 CUBS = M# : 3 - 3-0 CUBS = M# : 1 [Cubs would have 93 wins then, and MIL could only reach 93 wins if go 9-0 after that series] CUBS go 1-1 vs HOU / MIL goes 1-3 vs PHI; - 3-0 MIL = M# : 8 - 2-1 MIL = M# : 6 - 2-1 CUBS = M# : 4 - 3-0 CUBS = M# : 2 CUBS go 0-2 vs HOU / MIL goes 1-3 vs PHI; - 3-0 MIL = M# : 9 - 2-1 MIL = M# : 7 - 2-1 CUBS = M# : 5 - 3-0 CUBS = M# : 3 So basically, hope for Cubs going 5-0 in next 5 and PHI finishing off the sweep vs MIL tonight. Let's just clinch this thing and get it over with... oh, and if the Mets wanted to go 0-3 or 0-4 over that stretch, well that'd be really swell too.

Magic numbers through early games of 9/14; NL HFA : 10 Division : 9 Postseason : 8 Games remaining for teams in contention of those 3 numbers; CUBS; 16 HOU; 15 NYM; 14 MIL; 13 PHI; 13
