  1. That's real solid. Shows you how damn good our pen was last year after the 6th inning, but especially the 8th and 9th innings.
  2. The Johnson catch video should be up on MLB.com already. I just watched the video on the MLB.com app on my iPhone.
  3. There have been better home run robs...but unlike a lot of supposeded robbings of HRs, this one was clearly over the fence and brought back. Then you also have to consider the situation, the fact that it was going to be a grand slam, and the fact that it would have tied the game. It was a pretty fantastic catch.
  4. Dude our hip bump in the outfield after wins is classless. Yeah but so is their celebrating happily after coming from behind to win in the 9th inning on their Opening Day.
  5. Can't believe Demp is still in...but I guess the pen needs a rest and its the bottom of the order.
  6. Dammit, we needed to make them pay there. I am really scared of the bullpen now.
  7. 2 years in a row that Reed is going to have the Cubs catch of the year.
  8. Unbelievable...its not everyday you see someone rob someone of a grand slam. Damn, they are going to get at least 2 runs this inning meaning that the game isn't over with the Cubs pen, but obviously it could be much worse.
  9. I feel safer with Dempster than our pathetic bullpen. I only trust Marmol out of the group. Yeah I'm scared to hell of potentially 4+ innings of our pen tonight. 6th - Marshall/Guzman 7th - Heilman/Guzman 8th - Marmol 9th - Gregg HOLY CRAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  10. Demp has not impressed me in this series. Show me something here Demp...get out of the inning and stay in line for the win. And then pray to the good Lord that he can deliver a good bullpen performance. Edit: holy crap a HBP on an 0-2 count fudge.
  11. Rickie Weeks has been a thorn in our side this weekend. I hope this isn't his "breakout year" that everoyne has been predicting for the last few years.
  12. we have an off day tuesday so it's one game Ahh...forgot about that. But the way it's sounding, the off day might be on Monday, not Tuesday. The trib seems to think the game is unlikely
  13. I like our chances for the 6 seed, even if we lose to Detroit tomorrow. Detroit ends @ Miami on Wednesday while we end at home against Toronto. Philadelphia's really struggled to end the season and I don't see how they could possibly beat Boston and Cleveland. After the Magic lost at home to the Knicks on Friday and at New Jersey yesterday without Devin Harris, I'd really like to get a crack at them in the first round. Yeah well I can see them losing to Boston because Garnett right be back and they haven't played great lately (got blown out by 30 today) so they might feel like they have something to prove. I don't know if Cleveland will be up for their game...they probably won't want anyone to get hurt. Unless of course they are playing in Cleveland (I can't remember). If that's the case, Cleveland will definitely be trying to tie the NBA record for best home record in NBA history (40-1)
  14. Geez no Soto until Wednesday. The lineup is going to be like... Soriano Fukudome Lee Ramirez Fontenot Theriot Hill Gathright or something like that
  15. Holy crap. If this was the Cubs doing this, I'd be so pissed off. Like "throw the remote at the TV and then yell at my girlfriend for no reason" pissed off.
  16. It took me a while, but I finally found the movie that clip came from on YouTube. I considered it my easter egg hunt. Nicely done. And you're not going to tell us?
  17. Wouldn't it be awesome if Lee shut us up and crushed a Grand Slam right here?
  18. Nice! We did as much damage as we could before Lee can mess it up.
  19. I just posted "gah soriano" but I don't mind him swinging blindly at that pitch. He's been red hot right now, and if its a decent pitch, its 6-1 Cubs.
  20. I was so for the Bradley signing, I said I don't care if he gets hurt, I just want him in there for 100 games + playoffs. But now that I've seen how many injury scares we've seen from him this week, plus the issue in Spring Training...I'm just not sure I'll ever be comfortable with Milton out there. He's just too fragile to play professional sports consistantly.
  21. Nice AB Hill! Say what you want about Hill but he's driven in 3 of the 11 runs in the series.
  22. Opening day is going to suck without last year's ROY and our key free agent acquisition out of the lineup.
