    you are on the internet, look it up yourself. Have you ever followed along on GameCast? It's not always very clear. I am right now, and it's a lot better than begging other people to give you updates because you don't like how they post on game threads.

    lol WTF are you talking about? This is what happens when you sit around not pitching for extended amounts of time. I think the loss of command is just due to lack of work. I really would like to see him pitch every 5th day from here on out. He's going on 5 days rest right now. If you have him pitch on "normal" rest he'd next throw at NY on the 23rd, then at MIL on the 28th. Which means he'd next be available for Game 3, on 5 days rest, quite likely back in NY. I don't know if I'd like that personally. 7 days. 7 days what? He's on 6 days rest, that was a typo. Pitching every 5th day means 4 days rest. If he pitches every 5th day through the end of the inning he'll be available to pitch on 5 days rest in the playoffs.

    I actually used to really dislike Santo's work. He was horrible. It's one thing to have some goober jabbering about nonsense on tv, where you can still see the game and know what's going on, but that doesn't work on the radio. I started to warm to him a little bit, and now I find him tolerable. But that's about the extent of it.
  9. jersey cubs fan
    Oh my lord. Incredibly difficult? He works 3 hours a day 150 days a year talking about baseball. Give me a break. If you want to say it's fun to listen to him sound goofy and get all emotional, fine. Maybe that's your thing. But don't try and pretend his job is hard.

    Ehhhh, not all that interested. I'd rather Lou start a lineup that isn't all RH against a LHP, leaving Cedeno on the bench as well. Which still leaves Blanco as your top pinch-hitter against a LHP. But he's been pinch-hitting Blanco with only 2 catchers all season. I don't see why the Cubs would have to suddenly carry 3 catchers during the playoffs in order to pinch-hit with him. I didn't mean to imply that Cedeno was the better RH bat off the bench.
  11. jersey cubs fan
    Did you already have the no-hitter recorded? Because frankly I'd prefer having that one on DVR than this one, provided Harden doesn't do something similar. Didn't air in NY. I just DVR every game in case I'm not home when it starts.

    The Sheetsless Brewers would stand little chance of beating anybody in the first round to get to the NLCS.
  14. jersey cubs fan
    sonovabich, I wasn't paying attention and set my DVR to record the game tonight. I guess that's a replay.
  15. jersey cubs fan
    Please justify this statement. The more I think about it, the more I believe that having LESS than 11 pitchers is lunacy. You do realize that there are 2 sets or back to back games during the LDS, right? Over the course of the regular season you often play 10 or more games with no break. 11 pitchers is more than enough. In the playoffs, you can go with a 4 man rotation, meaning you still have 6 relievers if you go to a 10 man staff. Is there much use in bringing in your 7th best reliever along for the ride? Any close game is going to see Marmol and Wood. Marshall and Marquis can be used for longer stretches if they go extras or the starter gets knocked out very early. Cotts is the loogy and then one more space, say Samardzija. I think 10 is more than enough. That gives you more options off the bench.
  16. jersey cubs fan
    So the question is, was Lang's scoring worth his shoddy two-way play and attitude? Without another option in the middle, my answer is yes. But I'm willing to give Dale some time and see what he can do. http://www.dailyherald.com/story/?id=235527

    While MLB didn't release the official schedule until later, it has pretty much always followed the tentative schedule to the letter. Most people just follow the tentative schedule release. And for example, last year the Cubs released that schedule on October 11th. I don't see this as very much different then teams releasing their schedules in the middle of the playoffs. I guess I always thought that was after the playoffs.
  18. jersey cubs fan
    It does seem random, doesn't it? I'm probably just weird, but I like how they did it in the past because you could slowly piece the whole schedule together rather than just seeing it all unveiled at once. That made for something fun in the offseason. I actually prefer getting it all at once and earlier, it just goes against all of MLB's typical marketing decisions. It makes it easier to plan trips back to Chicago and any other road trips.
  19. jersey cubs fan
    Is anybody else confused about why MLB released the schedule when it did? They usually follow a pattern of leaking certain matchups and then release the schedules in the winter when interest has waned. I don't get why they would throw this out in the middle of pennant races. They hate having news break during the playoffs, especially the World Series. What is the point?
  20. jersey cubs fan
    Bravo! =D> =D> =D> =D> =D> More or less what I was going to say. Great post. I don't see why somebody needs a homer announcer to help him experience the highs and lows.
  21. jersey cubs fan
    Yea, no. That's not happening. http://www.dailyherald.com/story/?id=235468

    Houston, Wisconsin or Houston, Texas?

    Bring back to the depression!
  24. jersey cubs fan
    That's a bit unfair, don't you think? There's always going to be some team that has to worry about it every year. What is unfair?
  25. jersey cubs fan
    Not sure I agree with that statement, but let's hope we find out for sure. On one hand, a lot of Chicago people came to really dislike Ditka and thought he actually hurt the team more than he helped, at least after the Super Bowl. Plus, much of his popularity is actually outside of the Chicago Bears fandom, kids who fell in love with the Super Bowl shuffle Bears. But, the Bears are still a nearly 100% Chicago team, whereas a very large portion of Chicago hates the Cubs and would really hate Lou. Plus, look at Ozzie and Francona. Neither of these guys have come anywhere close to as popular as Ditka, and both accomplished similar things to a theoretical Lou WS champ.
