  1. 13-19 on the road this year. Wish that game wasn't rained out as we wouldn't have faced Vazquez.
  2. Javier settling in there. Could be a long game...
  3. Sucks that we have to face Vasquez, as we weren't scheduled to face him in the previous series.
  4. Well I mean there are 30 teams out there and it's been 20 years. I understand the point about Wrigley being a historic place but I think in the MLBs minds there are teams that need it more than the Cubs. I guarantee you there will be another ASG at Wrigley but the question is when.
  5. This is awesome. I went to the Cubs game today and due to the high unliklihood of the US advancing I didn't bother to follow the game on my phone. Imagine my surprise when curiosity got the better of me and I checked the score on the walk home. How can they look so bad against Costa Rica, Brazil, Italy etc and then put together a performance like this? How can they look awful against Czech Republic and then draw Italy in 2006? This kinda stuff has to stop. Predictions for Spain game? I say 4-1 ESP
  6. I wasn't really a Cubs fan in 1990 so I didn't see the last All Star game that was played there. Well they are showing little half hour All Star recap shows on MLB Network today and at 5:30 CT they are showing the 1990 game. Just figured I'd give everyone a heads up whose never seen this game or wants to see the highlights again.
  7. Good to see that Soto is actually alive and well. I was worried about him yesterday.
  8. Berkmans OPS is lower than Derrek Lees. He's not having a great year.
  9. Lee's BA crept about .290 for a bit today before finishing at .288. His OPS is now at .867, and his SLG is now at .502. He keeps this up and him, not Lilly, will be the Cubs All Star.
  10. I was gonna do a closest but you all know about the Chicago teams, and Michigan football and basketball have won in my lifetime so whatever. (note: I didn't include the 89 bball title in my list because I wasn't a fan back then but I still use it for bragging rights so I got some benefit out of the championship so yeah)
  11. Nope....St. Louis is winning their game and is only 0.5 back coming into today. The Cardinals are winning 3-0 right now and if they win and Milwaukee loses its 2.5 back.
  12. What do I keep saying? Another key AB and Blanco finds his way up again.
  13. Gotta think its gonna be Fukudome, Soto, and Blanco here.
  14. I'm glad we've committed to keep Patton on the team all year.
  15. You would know better than I, who would be available in AAA to start tomorrow? They might use Wells instead of Demp Oh wait nevermind that stupid jerk hit another one.
  16. no one....I'd expect to see Dempster or Wells walking from the dugout to the pen in between innings. Patton will pitch 2, possibly 3 no matter what as long as the game continues that long.
  17. Yeah, good to know we can hit against a guy with an ERA of 11, .395 BA against, and a WHIP of probably 2. Yeah like I said above, I gotta say that I was pretty disappointed with that last inning. I'm not saying they should have scored, but they should have at least gotten a base runner that inning, or at the very least gotten to a 3 ball count in the inning. You had your 3-4-5 up, all right handed, against a lefthander that is really struggling and helped blow the game yesterday. The approach was awful, Bradely only had one outcome on his mind, Lee same thing. Johnson at least took some pitches but he also check swung at a few bad ones.
  18. Because Wood is their closer and they don't want Perez to have to be their last defense if they take the lead. Not saying its necessarily right, but the majority of managers manage that way.
  19. I think the Cubs came up there way too aggressive this inning. Everyone wanted to hit the walk off blast and failed because that's what you do most of the time you try to do that. Work the count boys.
  20. Which is amazing considering all the rainouts.
  21. Wow, well we have to wait for the lineup to turn back around again to score most likely unless Fuku can do something.
  22. WTF Bradley that was a pathetic attempt at hitting. Geez I still can't stand him....maybe my memory is failing me and I'm missing a huge moment but has he had a clutch hit as a Cub?
