  1. This is the only scenerio in which Marquis and Best possible pitcher can be used in the same sentence. If this one is called, I would hope Lou would just skip Marquis until Monday. Yeah, something about Cole Hamels vs. Jason Marquis makes me feel queasy.
  2. The good news is that this is the best possible pitcher to have on the bump should a long rain delay occur.
  3. According to weather.com its not raining yet.
  4. the cubs lost a game to the nationals. The Twins lost 2/3 to the Mariners earlier in the month, and the first 2 to the Mariners in this series. They did sweep them in Minny in between, but thats 4-4 vs. the worst team in the AL in the span of a month, and 1-4 in Seattle. We went 3-3 vs. the Nationals. Granted we're pretty clearly better than the Twins, but the Nats are pretty clearly worse than the Mariners. True, I guess I'm just frustrated because they are the only chance to unseat the White Sox in the Central, and these are the easiest games they have during a tough month and they are blowing it.
  5. Your OPS should be above .900 if you want to get away with saying crap like that Derrek.
  6. I know its meaningless, but I'll be pissed if this game doesn't go down and the Cubs finish 99-62 with a game against the Pirates not being made up.

  8. Not it Koyie Hill outplays him in September :)
  9. This is what I'm saying. You may think the game threads are bad, but I think the people constantly calling out people are worse. CubManPi, you made an excellent post there. Maybe there should be 2 game threads each game. An "emotional reaction" game thread and a "analysis" game thread just so people on both sides would shut up and we could all post in peace
  10. I'm thinking Z will be the number 2 starter. If you take contracts into consideration, I would have taken Carlos Lee over Soriano in a heartbeat.
  11. Vitters 2 straight hitless games after getting a hit in like 30 of his previous 31 :shock:
  12. Lot of interesting baseball tonight. Cardinals are done. Yankees are done. Minnesota is done if they can't even beat Seattle
  13. So if we go 21-9 to finish the season, we are guaranteed to make the playoffs. I like it. Considering we are in the middle of a 22-6 stretch, I think its possible to do that.
  14. And the Cubs will be 9.5 games ahead of a playoff spot after tonight (with 30 to play). They would have to make up almost a game in the standings every 3 days to catch up to the Cubs.
  15. Fontenot 2-15 this year vs. LHP before tonight. 2-2 in the 8th inning tonight.
  16. 7 RBIS!!!!!! FROM THE 8 HOLE! AHAHAHAHAHA
  17. I would love to see a animated .GIF made of a Fukucopter
  18. C'mon at least two more to make me feel comfortable.
  19. Did the Pirates Manager go to the Freddi Gonzalez School of Hitting Matchups?
  20. We lose this game if we're playing about 25 of the other 29 teams. But tonight we might win.
  21. This is a big AB here for the Pirates. Reed is on deck (vs. a righty) and then a PH (Blanco or Ward)
  22. Kinda annoys me how Len still says Lee's name with such reverence. Loaded for DERREK LEE like he's anything more than a singles hitter.
