    Don't fool yourself, if it was the Cubs in the series, they would spend 30 minutes on them

    Wait till basketball season. :( When Dee Brown and, um, wait, I know this one....oh well, Dee Brown will single handedly carry the Illini to 5th place in the Big Ten. I don't think we (and by we, I mean you, me and Truffle) should get involved in any college basketball smack talk considering that Dee Brown could probably singlehandedly beat Penn State. Penn State has a basketball team? My team is DePaul, who will likely be the PSU of the Big East.

    Or better yet, click all the ads, whether they interest you or not.

    The big difference was knocking 1.3 runs off the team ERA from 2004 to 2005 (and adding 20+ saves). Dou credit the new pitching coach, the defense, or a little of both?

    It's not about jumping onto any bandwagons or abandoning the Cubs. It's about wanting a great sports town to have a championship. If the Sox win, that's fine. It's out of my hands. Better than the Cards winnig. If they lose, no problem either. I'm basically indifferent, but won't jump off a bridge if the Sox win. As you said, it's a game Define yourself by what team you love, not what team you hate.

    St. Louis in the summer is about the worst place to be. No breeze, all asphalt, 110 degrees in the shade.

    Riggs and Baylor have coaching positions. I'd actually love to have him back. He was stuck with such total crap rosters while he was here (1998 the exception of course).

    I've been pro-15/15 for a while, with one interleague matchup going on at all times. I'd have the previous year's WS participants, and runners-up, play each other early in the season. With the previous season's cellar dwellers facing off at the end. I've backed a 15/15 with an uneven schedule spanning both leagues and eliminating the DH. The players Union would never ever eliminate the DH. That's 14 possible places an aging slugger can go and get one last payday. They might get rid of the DH if you expand rosters to 26 or 27 players.

    Why go to a World Series game and act like a Sox fan? Shouldn't Cubs fans have more dignity and respect than to act this way? I would go to a World Series game in an absolute heartbeat, regardless of who the teams are. And I wouldn't wear Cubs gear and harass people and get drunk and any number of the other asinine things people here have suggested. I know some might say "When in Rome, do as the Romans do," but I couldnt' lower myself to acting like a self-hating White Sox fan under any circumstances.

    In addition, Giles would cost us cash only, while Griffey would cost us players. I think that's a no-brainer.

    Nope, it comes up every time. This ain't the NFL boys.

    copycat! yes, i went back in my time machine to copy today's thread :lol:

    I refer you to my previous thread

    This is superb analysis: "Hawk suffers from the same problem Leinart does; he's so good and playing so flawlessly well, the he's not getting the credit he deserves." whaaaa?

    every game will be 2-1. Astros in 6

    C'mon, who didn't see this coming? Look at him, he's HUGE! http://www.yesnetwork.com/images/news/heredia_1018.jpg

    Crede posted a career high in HR and batted 8th or 9th in the lineup. What do you want from him?

    Perhaps a 97 mph Oswalt cutter to the ribs will do the trick.

    I had SERIOUS 2003 flashbacks there. This was almost worse (for the Stros), as it happened with 2 outs and 2 strikes. At least the Cubs had 5 more outs to screw it up with... :(

    sweet! I'm back!

    he says such brilliant things as "the batter needs to drive in this run" really? thanks for the input

    One thing to consider: Hendry and Williams did essentially the same thing this off season. They both got their managers the "guys they wanted." The difference, of course, is in the managerial philosophies. Dusty requests players who are in his secret cult of suckitude, while Ozzie got guys who would buy into his "weeening eez fung" approach. Basically, if you're going to sign players based on who your manager requests, you are putting a lot of faith in that manager to make sound decisions with personnel. We know how that turned out with Dusty :cry:

    Much like the way Dusty gives up outs in the 1st EVERY time the leadoff man gets on?
