  1. and........Chipper Jones is injured ](*,)
  2. Someone remind Rusch that when his offense scores 6 runs for him, a win is generally expected.
  3. I have to give the Cubs and even (gulp) Dusty a lot of credit for a very exciting first week of baseball. There were many positives, including: - Murton and Cedeno started every game - Neifi started just once (in a platoon against a lefty) - Neifi was not the di facto first guy off the bench in pinch hitting situations - The Cubs drew a lot of walks (17) for a team OBP of .366 - The team has shown power from many positions. - Dusty has done very little tinkering with the lineup, and when he has (Neifi in at 2nd, Barrett moved up to 5th) the results have been positive. - Bullpen ERA is 1.45 - Team already has 6 pinch hits in 5 games including 2 HR. There are certainly some bad points (giving up too many walks, Rusch's start, etc.) but I want to stay positive. Great games so far and I hope it keeps up.
  4. here go the Cubs, sucking us all in again :lol: But man, what a great series this has been. Screw you Cardinals! Weee heee!!!!!!!
  5. I actually had to come down to the computer just to congratulate the homeplate umpire on the worst strike three call in history. As Steve Stone said the other day, "How is it that the home plate umpire can track the path of the pitch AND see a check swing?"
  6. then something on your spreadsheet isn't working right. I'm not sure where I'm at starting Sunday now with Fielder getting one last night. I'll re-add and see what I come up with
  7. In their 4 wins they have outscored opponents 32-26
  8. Ponson is the epitome of suck. But he's a Cardinal, which means he'll be 16-7 with a 3.45 ERA this year. Here's hoping Marshall keeps A-Jols hitless for the series.
  9. Cubs record in blue jerseys: 2-1?
  10. A drunk Mike Shannon spilled his beer into the sattelite truck
  11. why am i down for 7? Pujols=3 Delgado=2 Blalock, Thomas, Ortiz=1 each Total=8
  12. Glad I'm not getting paid millions to go 0 for 4 today.
  13. Pujols had two shots that would've been homers on a warmer day, but I give credit to Maddux for pitching to the conditions
  14. it really is an indictment of the Eastern Conference that 2 maybe 3 teams will make the playoffs with a losing record. That's just pathetic.
  15. Interesting turn of events to be sure. I was on the "miss the playoffs" bandwagon because I felt an early defeat to Detroit wouldn't be useful, but if they can miss both Detroit and Miami, well then we're talking
  16. It's similar to a Sheez
  17. he'll go 4 for 4 against Fat Bastard on Sunday
  18. I suggested this in the Game Thread today: If we shorten Derrek Lee to D-Lee, shouldn't we shorten Albert Pujols to A-Jols? :lol: :lol: :lol:
  19. I have 8 HR with about 1/2 my guys with a goose egg early
  20. Baseball politics says that you don't bench the $15 million player for the league minimum player no matter how bad the overpaid player sucks
  21. correction, 7-3 double play. My bad
  22. 9-3 double play? HA HA HA HA HA HA breath HA HA HA HA HA HA HA
  23. OMGWTFBBQ!!!111! The COBS are playing sum good Ozzie Ball! /I don't know what's wrong with me today. Nice AB Barrett!
