Burnett's breaking ball is filthy.

Hey, Buck and McCarver are saying stupid things.

These breaking balls look a tad low to me.

It seems like every time I watch a Yankees game it is really freaking long.

This line up is ridiculous. Every time you get a player out they have another good player batting, aside from the pitcher of course.

Good job Dempster.

Even by average fan stats like BA and HR's and what not DeWitt is far from a 3 hitter type. It really doesn't make much sense aside from the Cubs being 3-0 or what ever Fred just posted, when he is hitting third. (not that Dewitt batting third had much to do with that, I'm sure it didn't but I'm trying to use Quade's thinking.)

I'm really, really excited for tomorrow's game and that's probably the first time I've felt this way since opening day. Keep it up Cubbies.

3 game winning streak time tomorrow.

Do that every game the rest of the season Cubs.

C'mon Marmol, let's get one more.

Nice catch.

It's nice to hear some energy in Wrigley, it's tricking me into thinking we are good.

Doug Davis is pitching against the Yankees so they could easily make a comeback this game.

Watching Doug Davis pitch really sucks.

Davis is going to no hit the Yankees.

That's...ambitious. I'll hope for 16-8, which could get us within 5 games or so. That's what I'm hoping for, getting within 5-6 games to keep my interest for a good while.

This is definitely an exciting series because it's the Yankees although Doug Davis against this team should be really fun to watch. I'm holding out hope that the Brewers series was the beginning of us getting back in the race before the All Star Break.

I really hate this stupid team.

Win tonight and we're 9 out. Let's do it.

Good God, I hope this happens in game 7 too.

I just clicked on this thread by accident and read that. It has to be trolling, I didn't even cite a W/L record for a reliever when I was younger and thought it meant something as a stat.

My favorite non favorite team championship moment. I love this.

I've enjoyed this season a lot but hopefully it ends tonight and then returns with a normal 82 game scheduled next year.

I'm not real excited facing 5 AL teams as often as the other 10 NL teams as long as the wild card is around. This. I guess that's the best solution if you want 15 in each. I'd rather scrap divisions and interleague and just have 14/16 with top four moving on. Simple. H ere's one based on the NFL's system. move the brewers back NL1 - New York, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia NL2 - Atlanta, Florida, Washington NL3 - Cincinnati, St Louis, Chicago NL4 - Houston, Arizona, Colorado NL5 - San Francisco, San Diego, Los Angeles AL1 - New York, Detroit, Boston AL2 - Toronto, Tampa, Detroit AL3 - Milwaukee, Cleveland, Chicago AL4 - Texas, Minnesota, Kansas City AL5 - Seattle, Anaheim, Oakland As far as scheduling goes 18 games vs 1 interleague division (3 H, 3 A, 3 Teams) 96 games vs intraleague nondivision (4 H, 4 A, 12 teams) 48 games vs intraleague division (12 H, 12 A, 2 teams) Then have the top division winners and one wild card go to the playoffs, giving you six teams. Have the top two records get a bye, have the third best team host the wild card, fourth and fifth play each other. then do best of 3, best of 5, best of 7, best of 7. Pros - Creates and promotes rivalries (and clustered rivalries) due to directly only competing with two teams (granted the system may never pass w/o splitting up Boston and New York. - Even weak teams always have a chance because they are only competing with two other teams, usually close by. - Still a wild card - One more playoff round for $$$$ Cons - Drastically unbalanced schedule for the 1 wild card spot. - weak teams always have a chance. - One more playoff round - playoff byes - too radically different from current situation Not saying it's the best or even a good solution, it's just one modeled on the NFL's. I The problem I personally have with this is I feel the MLB season is too long to just be competing against 2 teams.
