yeah, it's the worst thing since the holocaust that we can't see the brilliant, glorious 87 win phillies in the playoffs and that we have to suffer through watching the terrible, pitiful 83 win cubs. may god have mercy on us all.

i have a bad feeling i'm going to look at the score later and have some intial shock. unfortunately my hopes ride on rich hill and ubaldo jimenez...though i think i could pick someone up to fill in for sheets or shawn hill, couldn't i? Hrm, I didn't know that was allowed. I'd much prefer relying on a free agent than Mike Pelfrey if my season was on the line. but pelfrey's not hurt, those guys are. i'm not saying i'm going to pick someone up for sure, i was just wondering. but we agree that getting a new 2b is ok since kent is out, right? Pelfrey's in because Lincecum is out for the season, so would that make it ok? Yeah, go ahead and replace Jeff Kent. hmm...i don't know. i remember saying we couldn't pull guys up from the minors or the waiver wire midweek just to get 7 starts, but i don't know if it's different for injuries. if i do throw someone out there, it may be that laffey guy for cleveland who is on my minor league roster right now. thoughts on that? replacing kent would be like tim replacing pujols with jacobs, wouldn't it? i think that's ok.
-
i still think we're at a slight disadvantage with regard to negotiating because i haven't even put any thought into the offseason...and the roster deadline is a month and a half earlier this year. that being said, i don't think we can put a gag order on negotiations, so go nuts. however, when tim and raw are selling you on their guys, remember there are players on two teams that beat tim and raw that you could be trading for. :D

prince has over 30 too...surprising the brewers are losing. the last week is such a crapshoot. vlad, beckett, cc, and lackey will all be limited for him, and the use of kent, s. hill, sheets, and lilly will be altered because it's the last week.
-
it's worse than the brewers vs. the cubs. what a lame finale. so i can pick up a 2b to replace kent, who is "doubtful" for the rest of the season correct?
-
road trip off to a good start.
-
with kendall already in the game, why not PH with him and put Pie in center??? Lou is a bad manager. That is the answer. he's not terrible but he's been very bad in this series. It's a team choke from top to bottom. agreed. the ab's of lee, derosa and jones in particular smacked of choking.
-
it's not trachsel's fault that he's 56 years old and terrible. it's hendry's fault for trading for him and lou's fault for running him out there for the biggest game of the year.
-
umm...take him out?
-
good inning.
-
lou said that kendall is going to be the starter the rest of the way...possibly for all five games. so i doubt soto is starting. look forward to lots of infield groundballs and stolen bases by the opponent.
-
so kendall is the starter the rest of the year. wonderful. nevermind that he's inferior offensively and defensively to kendall...he's got experience (of course 99% of that experience involves playing on a last place team). welcome back, dusty!
-
i don't care how many games they lost last year, and i refuse to use that as a measuring stick. that sounds like something jim hendry would do. being happy with an improvement from one of most pathetic cub seasons ever isn't enough for me...and 85 wins for a team with a $100 mil payroll is not good.
-
i'm in big trouble...i'm losing starts left and right. hill (shawn) is done, sheets is iffy, and lilly probably won't start sunday.
-
i hate these motherfucking total bases points. jimenez's outing was 12 points worse than pelfrey's? with vlad and lee not doing anything for you, and with my team having five homers in two days, i should be winning by a lot more.
-
my team is hitting the [expletive] out of the ball. is vlad really out for the whole week?
-
coincidence that i've gutted that team and won two championships (while you won zero)? hell no. :D
-
hell, the cubs are only two back in the wild card standings. if the padres collapse against the brewers and the phillies/rockies have bad weeks the cubs could be the wild card. but probably not.
-
They better take 2/3. If they can't go 4-2 these last 6 games they may not make it...Cards look like a sweep and the Padres are a sinking ship. if the brewers win seven straight after that disaster in atlanta they probably deserve to make it.
-
so your strategy in that league was just to mimic whatever i did in this one. commendable gameplan. good game, as always. sucks to score 300+ and lose.
-
Ahh, so that's how you are so popular and have so many friends here. that, my good looks, charm and two championships.
-
game over.
-
by the way, in this thread we both complain about how bad our teams are. everyone else loves it...especially raw.
