    The funny thing about that is those 4 teams all won the title the previous season. You could make the assumption that, having known what they went through last season, have have paced themselves through the first round. Either that or because they played into June, they weren't running at 100% at that point.

    I'm just saying...its the easiest part of the schedule right now. Doesn't mean we're doomed or anything moving forward. If we are mediocre against the bad teams are are playing now, we'll have to play better to make the playoffs. Except the Rockies are one of the best teams in the NL and the Brewers are with us and the Reds at the top of our mediocre division. What does that have to do with playing an easy schedule so far? Yeah we played the Rockies, the Brewers are mediocre and we havent played the Reds.

    Ummmmm what? The Cubs also defeated the Padres on Monday. I think he's referring to Russell's faulty logic that 2 out of 3 is as good as a sweep.

    1st half will be a lot like the first 2 games...Pacers come out with a ton of energy, hold a 3-10 point lead the entire first half until the end when the Bulls grab a 1 point lead at the half. Then in the 3rd, Bulls finally look dominant and take a 20 point lead at one point. In the 4th, a Pacers run gets them to within 7 but the Bulls hold on for an 11 point win. 101-90.

    Yeah that's really weird. I wonder if that's ever happened before (4 straight non-conference games)

    Yet we're tied for first. I don't want to get irrationally hopeful that this team could compete if Wells and Cashner come back healthy and effective. All the Cubs have to be to be competitive is mediocre. It is not going to take much to win this division. Maybe...but 9-9 playing the Pirates, Diamondbacks, Brewers, Astros, Rockies, and Padres is probably not good enough because the Phillies, Braves, Giants, Dodgers, Yankees and Red Sox are still on the schedule.

    Game is starting on time?
  9. UMFan83
    So when exactly does game 2 start and when do the gates open?

    Pretty soon I'm gonna start cursing Byrd for driving in that lone run and subjecting us to extra time watching this crap. 3 runs scored combined in 19.5 full innings of baseball, 117 outs
  11. UMFan83
    LOL

    I feel like the last 5 Padres to reach base stole second, and 4 of them reached on an IF hit or walk.
  13. UMFan83
    What position player do you think will be throwing in the 17th inning of this game? I guess Casey Coleman could pitch...it would be 3 days rest in between starts. We have an off day tomorrow so Dempster could go on regular rest on Friday.
  14. UMFan83
    Sounds like 2008 all over again!
  15. UMFan83
    Seriously.... I have no idea when to arrive to get my Colvin bobblehead!
  16. UMFan83
    I'm guessing Mateo will have to go a couple of innings, Shark an inning depending on how many innings it takes to blow this one, Grablow an inning, Woody an inning and Marmol and inning. That's assuming Russell can go 3 innings this time.
  17. UMFan83
    It would actually be more fun for me to see the Canucks lose, unless it was to the Red Wings, if that makes any sense.

    I don't like Rondo because I hate how people overrated him. I didn't like the Celtics, I hated that they traded everything away to get the Big 3 in place, and it made me mad that one of the few pieces they held onto turned into an All Star. I hated the Rondo vs. Rose argument because they were 2 different players, and I could see Rose's potential, so whether I was right or wrong, I always thought Rose was the better player. It's not a "point" as much as it is a breakdown of my dislike for Rondo.
  19. UMFan83
    He's given up 3 runs in 9 outings this year, 2 in 1 and one today. He has 6 walks and 14 strikeouts. 2 blown saves where a runner he walks scored. 6 walks in ~9IP is good (for him) tho.
  20. UMFan83
    This is what I worried about last year...Marmol's walking has caused bad things to happen this year, whereas last year he got out of a ton of his created jams. Also, whoever noticed the number of IF singles, I agree. Even the other night there were quite a few...wtf.
  21. UMFan83
    omg its not the billy goat its the black cubs scandal!
  22. UMFan83
    I guess the teams are saving the offense for the night cap?
  23. UMFan83
    He won't be hitting 6th. or 5th He certainly won't be hitting 3rd. We have Marlon Byrd! Based on his start this year, he'll be hitting 7th this year. But only because catchers have to hit 8th.
  24. UMFan83
    For Castro I think I'd make that exception. Just Castro? You are a Packer fan afterall.
  25. UMFan83
    True....sometimes he even makes some of those layups too. Rondo is fine...everyone rushing to overrate him the last few years is my only major issue with him. At least now that no one is dumb enough to argue Rondo > or = Rose anymore.
