    I know everyone thinks they have pixie dust or whatever, but I honestly don't see the Cardinals in the World Series. I don't think their lineup is that good outside of Pujols and Holliday (and yes those are 2 formidable players). Their top 2 in their rotation are really really good and both have playoff experience, but I feel like a team like the Phillies will shut them down offensively and take the series. I think they have a better than average chance to beat the Dodgers but won't get past the Phillies (assuming they beat the Rockies). My NL Playoff prediction: Cardinals over Dodgers in 4 Phillies over Rockies in 4 Phillies over Cardinals in 6

    The only way DeRo comes back is if the Cardinals win the World Series and DeRosa's versitility in the playoffs is a big part of that, and played up a lot by the media. Then Hendry will be forced to emulate the current World Champs and give him big $$$

    15 straight scoreless innings
  4. UMFan83
    LOL, Theriot is such a good baserunner. OK now it's going off. I don't feel like watching DeRo and Co celebrating in a mob pile at home plate whenever that will occur.
  5. UMFan83
    I'm almost positive the Cubs aren't going to score again so I am going to turn this ish off.
  6. UMFan83
    And it works. God bless the law of averages.
  7. UMFan83
    Putting in the reliever with the most home runs allowed to face the leagues HR leader is high comedy.
  8. UMFan83
    I'm shocked the sac bunt didn't work.
  9. UMFan83
    Wow, Geo looks at 3 straight strikes. Nice job Soto. Does he realize that a walk really does nothing in that situation. Lou just wasted an out, and Geo responds by looking at 3 straight pitches. Protect the damn plate with 2 strikes.

    Lou: Gosh we gotta get that guy to second base somehow. Who is good at making outs? Miles: Hey Lou, you said I could hit today. Is it time yet? Is it time yet? Is it time yet?
  11. UMFan83
    Awesome. Aaron Miles PHing in the 5 hole.
  12. UMFan83
    How would a 2 out squeeze have helped matters?
  13. UMFan83
    It didn't. 7 did. They only technically needed 5 runs, but 7 is what won it.
  14. UMFan83
    Go Bea- uhh Bul- uhhh 2010 Cu- uhhhhhhhh first post Soriano Cubs team!
  15. UMFan83
    DeAngelo Smith? Is that the CB from Cincinnati? My gf being from Cincinnati I got stuck watching a couple Cincinnati games over the last 2 years and thought he looked good. Good enough for the pros, probably not but funny that he's on the Bears now.
  16. UMFan83
    The starters really blew this series for the Cubs
  17. UMFan83
    Split. 5 walks will do that to ya.
  18. UMFan83
    Well also his OPS isn't .800+ like you suggested. It's .791
  19. UMFan83
    Also, why did Bradley get yanked in the 3rd inning?
  20. UMFan83
    Seriously? Yeah...I mean if it was 1 year 2 mil, then yes by all means. But I'm not going to outbid other teams (and starting pitching usually brings out the worst in GMs) and pay $10 million a year for a mediocre pitcher (4.30 ERA in the NL), who can only pitch 5 innings and is usually a major injury concern. I'd much rather try to move on without him. If there was a chance that we could max out his talent (and I will admit he has considerable upside), I might reconsider, but his numbers have only gone down since under the watch of our coaching staff. Maybe there is more to the story of Rich's season...but as of right now I'm ok with him walking.
  21. UMFan83
    Please do not resign Rich Harden. Let him be someone else's headcase. Thank you.
  22. UMFan83
    I forgot we had half these people in the pen. Gorzolanny, Marshall, I feel like I haven't seen them in weeks although granted I haven't paid too much attention.
  23. UMFan83
    I blame the Cubs losing on the Other Games thread made today.
  24. UMFan83
    Patton pitched Saturday as well. Kosuke really sucking right now. 0 for his last 21.
  25. UMFan83
    I'm not at all disagreeing with you but who would you put in there? Fox has really tailed off at the plate and is a butcher in the field. Lou has said he will only play fox when his bat justifies it. The other option is Hoff who is hittng .220 and equally bad in the field. So the question is which of these 3 is the best option?
