    Boy its amazing how much optimism a couple of wins gives us. I like it.

    I wouldn't mind him getting out of our league just because I can't stand seeing him after his homer last October.

    I doubt the fans are that shocked that their team isn't in first. Yes they had a lot of momentum when they got Holliday, but I think most fans know its gonna be a dogfight, not a run away. 1st place on July 26 does not equal first place in October.

    I talked about this yesterday, but imagine this... One year ago today, the Cubs fell into a tie with the Brewers for first place in the Central. One year later, the Cubs are up 0.5 games in the NL Central, meaning that we are actually doing better at this point in the season than last year!

    It's not brutal but Flordia is decent and seems to give us fits (although that trend is reversing) and Colorado has been very solid and is a contender. It's harder than the Nationals i guess.

    Little early for that, since it would only be .5/gm up if it works out. I still can't get too excited about the standing yet. Long way to go, lots of injuries need to heal, and the Cubs need to put together an extended streak of good baseball to have any hopes of accomplishing anything. It was very early August when it happened last time. I don't see the harm in commenting that the Cubs have just overtaken first place after a season long struggle to get to that point. Doesn't mean they are going to keep first place. Either way, I shouldn't have brought it up, its way too premature to start talking about that, we're up 1 in the 5th inning.

    I hope if good things happen and the Cardinals lose and the Cubs win, after the final out Len does something like he did in 07, "and the Cubs Win....the FIRST PLACE Cubs win"

    Would be cool to see Colorado lose too so we could be 1 GB the Wild Card too.

    Out of curiosity are you watching on a non HD TV? I believe I am. Just wondering....you commented on Ramirez's warning track drive like a split second after I saw the play happen. I am pretty sure HD programming is on a slight 1-2 second delay over non-HD.

    Grrrr....where is that wind?

    Gah, that sucked

    Our best run scoring play.

    Game is on TBS BTW

    I gotta start reading Street Wise

    A year ago today, the Cubs were making their infamous swan dive into a tie with the Brewers for the division lead. After the games on July 25th, the Cubs were just 1 game up in the division. The next day they'd lose and fall into a tie before we all know what happens. So for all the issues we've had this year, we are only currently 1.5 games further in the division than we were last year. Of course last years team was still 16 games over .500 and this year we are 5 but still.

    Very poor joke thread. You can't make it THAT obvious.
  18. UMFan83
    So we're 0.5 GB St. Louis, 2 ahead in the loss column and they have played 5 more games than us. Which means we'd only have to go 3-2 in those extra games to tie them, 4-1 to be up. Good day for us. Hopefully Harden has a good start and we can take over first tomorrow. St. Louis is headed to LA after this series too so it doesn't get easier.

    Out of curiosity, how is Ibanez doing defensively this year? I know he was a butcher out there in the past and a major detriment to his value.
  20. UMFan83
    Also we will either gain ground on Colorado or SF in the Wild Card race. Right now I think SF is winning so we could be 2 games out of the Wild Card tonight.
  21. UMFan83
    Blah, so the only team we are going to gain ground on is Milwaukee, who is quickly becoming irrelevent. Plus, the Astros beat Santana today so they will probably sweep this weekend.
  22. UMFan83
    hope Happ isn't in the trade. We need him to beat the Cards tonight.

    I used to hate [expletive] fighting until I found out he does it. Now I'm down in Pilsen every Saturday throwing my money down on Little Jerry to come through.
  24. UMFan83
    To me this is an impressive victory. They scored early, they came back from a multiple run deficit, they tacked on runs late. The starter bounced back from a rough start and the pen shut the other team down in poor pitching conditions. Just all the way around a nice win for the Cubs. I wrote the preceeding paragraph before Gregg kinda imploded there but witheld posting it. I feel like it still mostly stands. Good game.
  25. UMFan83
    Nice pitching by Harang on Hoff. Really wish we could have gotten the run home with less than 2 outs.
