  1. I know the Cubs have done well swinging early in the count vs. Sabathia, but with him going on 3 days rest for the third straight start, it might be wise to take a few pitches. I'm not a manager though.
  2. Yet he's pretty good lifetime vs. CC
  3. I have a feeling that Sabathia is going to dominate us today. I don't know why, we've hit him well, but we'll see. Wow Soriano is in a bad slump
  4. Classless comments? I don't remember the situation clearly, but I thought Grace wanted to resign with the Cubs, but the Cubs didn't want to sign him. His comments after the World Series were something like: "I wasn't good enough to play 1B for the Chicago Cubs, but I'm good enough to play for the world champions" I agree the timing wasn't right to take a shot at the Cubs org (he was literally still on the field celebrating the World Series), but I don't think they were classless.
  5. I would love for Guz to get through the first 2 innings with like 10 pitches so they keep him in, he goes 5 and gets the W. There is nothing I want more than a Cubs WS title, but a Guzman win is somewhere up there.
  6. Hmmm...starting to get concerned http://chicago.cubs.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20080927&content_id=3560072&vkey=news_chc&fext=.jsp&c_id=chc
  7. Really? You do know he is scheduled to pitch in Game 2, in 4 days, right? But as of this afternoon, he was named the starter tomorrow. Yea, Bruce said the plan was for him to pitch an inning or two, which would make sense But as long as he's not hurt, who cares I guess I didn't know he was going to pitch a couple innings. But I think that would have been a stupid idea since he was named game 2 starter already. Had he been going in game 3, that would be different. I know...like I said, its the same thing that they did with Lilly last year. He started the Sunday game, threw 2 innings, and then pitched 4 days later in game 2
  8. Really? You do know he is scheduled to pitch in Game 2, in 4 days, right? But as of this afternoon, he was named the starter tomorrow.
  9. If the White Sox lose tonight, it guarantees that either the Twins win the division, or the Sox have to play that make up game Monday. The Twins cannot be eliminated tomorrow.
  10. Yeah I saw that. I totally know what your saying, but theres no way if the roles were reversed this board would be rational.
  11. Wood to pitch in a non save situation? Brewers fans must be fuming.
  12. Please hit a HR tomorrow Fontenot so we can have 8 players with more than 10 HRs
  13. So wait, why is Wuertz such an afterthought for the postseason roster?
  14. Because the defense and bullpen have been awful all week. And a lot of the time, its people who actually are trying to do good and make the postseason roster.
  15. Michigan is beating Wisconsin.....
  16. OK Marquis, don't mess this up. I want win 97
  17. Wow Branyan injured himself taking a walk?
  18. Where have you been? Braun, Fielder, Sabathia and Torres to the Cubs for Wood, Marquis and Samardzija. Happened last inning.
  19. Royals take a 4-2 lead on the Twins.
  20. Fontenot will not be a viable major league starter until he can hit LHP
  21. So I'm thinking we should tank tomorrow if we win tonight. Johan will go on 3 days rest and start Game 1 if we play the Mets, and still be able to pitch in Game 5 if necessary.
  22. Resting. Now its time to get sharp for the playoffs.
  23. Haha, now you get Marmol. Make your peace.
  24. Well there goes the least nerve wracking no hitter ever
