    The Sox fans are trying to embrace every stupid tradition that teams have done over the past 5 years. Expect to see a rally penguin come on the scoreboard if the Sox fall behind.

    The longer Minnesota is held scoreless, the more likely this thing is decided on a HR by the White Sox

    I don't mind that send actually. Griffey had a horrible throw to third after the first out, and with the way Danks is throwing you need to take a chance like that. AJ almost dropped that

    Guz just came off Tommy John, and Gaudin probably is not physically 100% from his injury and they probably determined he won't be able to pitch effectively this postseason.

    Could be the board. It is.... when you click submit on a post it doesnt take you to that page telling you your post was successful.

    Danks is dealing. I have a feeling he'll give it his all until the 7th and then fall apart if he isn't replaced.

    Seriously, same way. I don't know whats wrong with me. People who read this and don't have such a passionate sports following will laugh because they don't understand. I might need to take a xanax to get through work tomorrow. I have to learn to stop telling my wife about these things. She was like "Seriously,Erik? It's a GAME. It's not that important!!" Women just don't understand. Last night I was talking to my girlfriend and I said "i'm nervous" and she said "for what?" and I said "promise you won't laugh?", she said yes, and then I told her I was nervous for the Cubs game, and she laughed anyways.

    I must say, the blackout thing does look pretty awesome. Let's hope it has the same effect it had for Georgia last weekend.

    70 Too many Chicago forumers will either be at the bar or at the game

    Mike Hass was signed off the practice squad....bad sign for Lloyd.
  13. UMFan83
    I think Cubs lose games 1 and 4 Cubs win games 2,3 and 5
  14. UMFan83
    There is still one spot to decide, but I think the Rays will beat whoever survives, so I can put my prediction out there now. Post yours now or wait until tonights game is decided. NL: Phillies over Brewers in 3 Cubs over Dodgers in 5 Cubs over Phillies in 7 AL: Rays over White Sox/Twins in 4 Red Sox over Angels in 5 Red Sox over Rays in 7 WS: Red Sox over Cubs in 6 Also, for the record, the Sox will beat the Twins tonight, although not technically a playoff

    I'm not

    Meaning, I doubt you will see DeRo in RF, probably at 2nd base...Fukudome? Hoffpauir? in RF. Dammit, I really wanted Fontenot's bat in there.

    That Kerry Wood HR is still one of my favorite sports memories ever. If not for the Illinois/Arizona game, it'd be #1. I wish I was a true Illinois fan so that I could claim that experience as one of my own. That was such an amazing comeback. At least I experienced it vicariously with fans who live and die by Illini basketball.

    Honestly, I havent thought about that ARam thing in Game 5 in maybe 3-4 years. I completely forgot about that. It would have tied it in the 7th inning. Also, I definitely remember the Kerry HR, I just don't want to talk about game 7. Kinda funny that my 2 best memories of the NLCS (Sosas HR, Kerrys HR) came in losses :(
  20. UMFan83
    I dreamt we got swept again last night. We played the D-Backs though, which is why I haven't hung myself yet. I KNEW IT! Deep down you are a pessimist! ;)
  21. UMFan83
    Stranger things have happened than the Sox/Twins beating the Rays.
  22. UMFan83
    I remember the NLCS like this Game 1: Quick start, Zambrano implodes (9 HRs allowed all season, 3 HR to 4 batters in game 1), Sammy ties it, Lowell wins it Game 2: Lots of HRs, why is Prior still pitching?, easy victory Game 3: Randall Simon!, Marlins rallies aplenty but no runs, Glanville triple, Castillo picked off Game 4: Aramis! Game 5: Scoreless duel, Marlins finally break through, Beckett awesome Game 6: Sammy RBI, run scores on WP, fade to black Game 7: When are they going to get around to playing that game? It's been like 5 years.

    Hey, town drunk is a job

    I'm pretty sure that Daley called him Crane Kennedy to mock Beluchi for screwing the name up. It seemed like he had a mocking tone in his voice when he said it.
  25. UMFan83
    I remember when we made the 2003 NLCS, I was much more laid back than the NLDS, except of course during games 6 or 7. In a 7 game series, it just seems like there is much more room for error, so when you lose game one like we did, we don't immediately start pressing.
