    It's one of the better things in the world. Right up there with puppies and sliced bread.

    This won't matter. We are sweeping the series either way.

    Cubs win 6-1, Harden goes 6 IP, doesn't give up a run, strikes out 12. Howry gives up a bomb. Derrek Lee hits into 2 DP's

    Cubs win, 8-2 (let my girlfriend predict this one, she's a bit of a homer)

    What would embody the spirit of the Olympics? The US is putting the best team they can compile out there, just like every other country in the world in every other sport in the Olympics. Just because we have better players doesn't mean it is anti-Olympics or whatever. Maybe Jamaica should sit Usain Bolt for the 100 and 200 next year because he is too good, or the Chinese should sit the 14 and 15 year old girls because they are the best gymnasts. Again, what would embody the Olympic spirit? Having college players play for the US? Because the other countries have professionals just the same as we do.

    Career OPS of .805 Year 1 - .600 in 2 AB's Year 2 - .738 in 234 AB This season he is OPSing .885 in 192 AB's so far. I gotta think he's a guy who if used properly (read: how he's been used this year) will consistently give you somewhere between what he did last year and what he's doing this year. A .775-.825 OPS bench/platoon guy is a pretty valuable piece to have considering how cheap he is right now. And man is he an improvement over the Gremlin and Neifi. Agreed. But as an everyday starter, I could see his production dropping way down. My brother is convinced he would hit .300 and slug .700 or .800 if he started everyday, which would probably NOT happen. Slug .800? Tell your brother I will bet him any amount of money he wants that Fontenot will not slug .700 or .800 for the rest of this season. I know, I have told him the same thing.

    I normally just spectate, but I must comment on this. This is one of the least intelligent and asinine comments I have ever heard. I hope for your sake you are kidding. You and I both know this statement is not true. There are plenty of places in your beloved Chicago that I could make this statement about, but choose not to. Yeah, we know. It's called the South Side. And go ahead and make the statement, we won't mind. I already made that joke. It hurt less when I said it. I still laughed, sry.

    I bet he chews the same gum everyday, so maybe after years of wear and tear, it finally gave up on him.

    What does that even mean? Meaning I thought we were going to blow it. CUBS WIN!!!! Glad my feelings where ill-advised! I knew what you meant, just don't understand why. You don't understand why with a 1 run lead we could conceivably blow the game? I know very well Mr. Wood could blow a game with a 1 run lead. But couldn't it be said that with every game with a 1, or even 2 run lead that you don't have a good feeling? It could. This was a odd conversation. Just trying to remove all the negativity. The 2008 Cubs are a different breed of bear. :grin:

    Marquis pitches a gem, goes 8, giving up 2 R, only 1 ER. Howry gives up a HR Cubs win 5-3

    No, because the one idiot that came up with the idea isn't the one that needs made fun of. He is making bank on the lame people who buy the shirts from him. I honestly doubt he's gonna make much more money than just to cover the cost of dreaming up this stupid idea in the first place. I disagree. I had to start a shirt company for a class one year, and shirts are dirt cheap if you import them. I bet he didn't have to sell many at all to cover his costs. Although he probably isn't going to retire on the income from the shirts, it's a nice money making scheme.

    LOL The Jays official press release is wrong? :rotfl: Maybe the Jays thought they were getting they player with 161 HR's and 541 RBI in 441 career games, and knew that was a trade they couldn't refuse.

    http://www.baseball-reference.com/teams/CHC/attend.shtml The Cubs were 5th in the NL in attendance in 2006, and fell just short of the attendance record to that point. (A new record was set in 2007) you know as well as i do that a number or those tickets were sold well in advance. by september of that year, the real attendance wasn't exceeding 30,000, even if the paid attendance was above that mark. But even approx. 30K people is better than a large portion of team draw on average this year. http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/attendance There's no question that more fans go to Wrigley every year than most other teams. But that doesn't make Truffle's overall point wrong. You'd have to compare fans of a team that's winning to fans of that same team when it's losing. If there's a team that fills its stadium or even maintains an even attendance level, whether the team is winning or losing, that would disprove his point (to some extent). Agreed. But Cubs fans are def. not as "fairweathered" or "front runner" or whatever as, say the Phillies fans. Or the White Sox for that matter.
