How bad would it suck if Uncle Cliff hit a walk off? (I know, not as bad as being a brewer fan) Im just asking.

Kevin Soto

WOW! What a comeback and what a choke job by the Lakers. Celtics have been and are the best team in the NBA and they proved it tonight.

I think the Celtics are clearly the better team. That game felt like it was a 20 point laker lead the entire game and I kept looking at the score at it was like only 6 or 7. Everyone knew the Lakers would end up winning this game but I didn't think the Celtics would look so bad and still not get blown out. And If I have to listen or watch the entire Laker team and Phil Jackson cry anymore about the refs im going to put my head threw a window.

Good pitching weather

Dear Cubs, You know, the Brewers have won a couple games here and there and I would like to know if you wanted to maybe not win this one? :beg: No? FINE THEN :tomato: :tomato:

Soto is more deserving. It'd be a tough decision if only one could go... but if Marmol really is the best reliever in the NL, and Soto is even with McCann to be the best catcher in the NL... doesn't that indicate that Marmol should get the nod over Soto (again, with the understanding that only one could go)? Soto is more deserving than McCann. And the best C is more valuable than the best RP, in my opinion. I know this is a Cub website obviously. But you can't honestly say that Soto is more deserving than McCann. You could say they are equal but to just flat out say Soto is more deserving than McCann is wrong. Just like I won't say McCann is more deserving than Soto. It all depends on how much you value defense from your catcher. If one greatly values defense from the catcher, then yes, Soto is more deserving. The offensive numbers are close enough, that the defense from Soto could give him the edge. If you minimize the impact of catching defense, then they are likely equals. I didn't even realize that McCann was that bad on defense, my bad. He's not bad, as in Piazza bad, but he's probably in the lower half defensively. Soto is very good defensively. That's why I said it depends on how much you value defense behind the plate. McCann is not so bad that it's a slam dunk for Soto, unless you value small variations in defense with the same grade as small variations in offense. Well obviously he is not PIAZZA BAD lol. And has Soto gotten better? I remember when we played you guys we ran all over him and he seemed like a mess.

No Cubs :lol: Its not like I did it on purpose its just I belive those are the rightful players. If I did not vote for Braun I would of voted for Adam Dunn.

I wonder who is out of place....

This is who I voted for as of right now... C- Brian McCann 1B- Lance Berkman 2B- Chase Utley SS- Miguel Tejada 3B- Chipper Jones OF- Nate McClouth OF- Ryan Ludwick #-o OF- Ryan Braun (Yeah I had to)

He does not sound confident at all right now. I feel bad for the kid.

I asked how Eyre looked this year and I got Fat and White, Shaky and Effective and DL'ed. Now thats a scouting report!! LOL @ Lou walking

How has Eyre looked this year?

It's not you. I'd also recommend leaving this thread for your own safety if things go south here. Oh come on, Im not doing anything. The longer this game goes the better it helps the Cubs. You're not doing anything, but there will be plenty of people looking to pick a fight. Ok I understand what you are trying to say but its not like im going to defend myself, the Brewers are TERRIBLE.

Is it me or does Lou do alot of hit and runs?

I think you guys are hurting Marquis feelings...

Skiles will get your team heading into the right direction in no time. Believe me. I hope so, Im glad we got him, he is exactly who I wanted.

LOL it looks like that one dude is trying to feel up Swishers Package

Im a Buck fan and I just wanted to say that being a Buck fan really sucks. And this brings nothing to this conversation. Carry on. But I think Rose would make Noah and Thomas alot better.

I love listening to Ben Sheet talk, he usually says something funny. Here are a few of my fav quotes from him. About trading for OF Carlos Lee "Well, it will be really good to finally have someone hitting behind me for protection." They showed him his one hit he had in 2005 I belive in Colorado(a weak grounder that got by the 1st baseman) and this is what he said "Well its Coors field and thats a tough place to hit, the suns in your eyes and the air's pretty thick so you got to be ready for something nasty. I was just really locked in that day, I got a good piece of the ball I thought it had a chance to go out of the park..... But the ball was not carrying to 2nd base that day" During the 1st broadcast of 2007 Brain Anderson (Brewers PBP) "Ben's just happy to have a batting average" Besides Ben Sheets "If I'd just tried for them dinky singles I could've batted around .600." - Babe Ruth "After I hit a home run I had a habit of running the bases with my head down. I figured the pitcher already felt bad enough without me showing him up rounding the bases." - Mickey Mantle "The designated hitter rule is like letting someone else take Wilt Chamberlain's free throws." - Former MLB pitcher Rick Wise "Let's play two." - Ernie Banks "Greg Maddux could put a baseball through a life saver if you asked him." - Joe Morgan "He makes it look easy[Maddux]. You wish there was another league he could get called up to." - Dwight Gooden Bob Uecker Quotes "I knew when my career was over. In 1965 my baseball card came out with no picture." "In 1962 I was named Minor League Player of the Year. It was my second season in the bigs." "When I came up to bat with three men on and two outs in the ninth, I looked in the other team's dugout and they were already in street clothes." "Sporting goods companies pay me not to endorse their products
