    What? Losing one game would be a choke?

    It depends on what is important to you. If the most important thing is going to the game, buy your ticket now, relax and enjoy. If you want to save some money, wait until you get there and deal with scalpers, while taking on the risk of fraud. If you want to try and get a deal, wait until after first pitch, risk missing an inning or more of exciting playoff baseball.

    in late round or championship matchups, I don't think it's standard in first round games.

    MLB initiative so the other teams are all doing them? sounds silly.

    The thing about Millen leaving is that he was the GM/President, not the head coach. A coaching change may have inspired this team, but Millen's influence on the team was basically done once the season began. Detroit stinks. But they stunk last year and the Bears lost to them. Meltdowns against Detroit essentially cost the Bears a decent season. I don't think they are going to have a letdown game and I don't think Detroit is going to be effectively motivated by Millen's departure, even if the fans are on cloud nine. Bears are 4 point road favorites right now, not a small number. They are also 4-0 against the spread, and I'm inclined to think they cover, and cover easily this week.

    Elite pitcher equals what exactly? I love that you have to be 1995 Greg Maddux to be an elite pitcher. I also love that every bad game Zambrano has is because he's a headcase or he's injured. People have this image that old timey sportswriters have ingrained in their head that everything's mental and since Z shows emotion, that means he's a headcase who lets every ball called on him get in his head until he gives up a bunch of runs. It's never that Z misses his spot. It's never that the batter just got the better of him. It's that crazy forienger who can't handle any pressure. He's a meltdown waiting to happen I tellz ya! Like yesterday walks the bases loaded, gives up the grand slam, and then the floodgates came down. He lost his mind out there after giving up the grand slam and had to be straight-jacketed and cattle prodded to get him off the field. So you don't think Z's mental state has hurt him at times and that he's never struggled due to health reasons?

    I think you'd be surprised how many chances Lou will be willing to give Howry. I could be wrong though. You might be right. However, I hold out hope that Howry is done with the Cubs at the end of this season, so there is zero incentive to give him a playoff roster spot. He showed me nothing last night, just like he showed me nothing for most of the year. The only incentive is to satisfy Lou's inner veteran lover.

    Today is Thursday, rain is in the forecast today and all day/night Friday. When is it supposed to start coming down there? I've heard showers around 8-10, and the heavy stuff around midnight.

    It's already been putten.

    and there's no way it'll happen. How much beer sales can there even be in the two innings leading up to a clinch? That's not exactly the ideal beer consuming time. Your words are foreign to me.

    In all honesty, the vibe I'm getting is most Mets fans are convinced the Mets aren't even good enough to make the playoffs, let alone hang with the Cubs.
  16. jersey cubs fan
    More likely than not, there will be a rain out Friday but the Mets will be able to play Saturday and a DH Sunday. I don't think it will be that big of an issue. On a side note, I heard Timmy Kurkjian talking about how "this is what makes baseball so great". He says this every time there's some odd quirk. How in the world is this what makes baseball so great? Baseball is a great sport, rainouts don't make it better.

    I actually think he's played his way onto the playoff roster based solely on his 1 inning last night With a 3.00 WHIP? 2 intentional walks, but I guess he deserved it by giving up the leadoff triple. I was kind of kidding. He did get out of a mess, but he got himself into that same mess. Howry's been awful on the whole, and Lou's given him a lot of chances. Before the weekend is out, odds are he'll have another bad outing and then who knows where they will stand.

    I really need to replace the keg in my kegorator. It's been on E for far too long, thanks for reminding me.

    I think it was just a nonsensical word to use. That doesn't mean they "must" start the NLCS first. There's no reason why it must.
  22. jersey cubs fan
    I thought the article did a pretty good job of justifying it. I don't. That makes no sense. Why does that mean the NLCS must start first?

    The best part of this "quote" is that nobody ever said it other than you and Garage Party! in an effort to mock Cedeno supporters with a straw man. I don't know if that actual quote was ever said or not, and truthfully I don't care, but similar stuff has certainly been said in the Theriot vs. Cedeno debates before the season started. The talk was about Theriot pretty much locking in mediocrity, whereas Cedeno gave you a chance for much greater upside. It was acknowledged by pretty much everybody that Cedeno had a very low floor.

    He started game 7 of the NLCS in 2006 and went 6 innings giving up 1 run. I guess that's where it comes from?? They didn't even win that game. Oliver Perez has a worse ERA+ than any of the 9 pitchers who have started a game for the Cubs this year. He also has a knack for coming up with big outings against some tough opponents (Philly, Yankees) and then crapping the bed against weak teams (Washington, Pittsburgh). It's more about his inconsistenct but occasional dominance than any one big playoff game (he's only pitched in 2 in his career).

    I would think they'd want those two teams in primetime. However, if Philly/LA plays the other series, they could also want that west coast audience getting a later time slot.
