  1. The Natspos might have saved our season! 2/3 from the Phillies right? If the Phillies sweep like they should, we are 7 games up on the WC and starting to get a little nervous.
  2. At least we get Lee's AB out of the way before the 9th
  3. Fly balls when the wind is blowing in. Ground balls when the wind is blowing out. Yep, these are the Cubs I remember.
  4. Pitching probables this weekend Lilly vs. Arroyo (3-0 1.57 ERA last 3 starts) Marquis vs. Cueto (1-1 1.20 last 3 starts) Marshall vs. Harang (1-2 2.84 ERA last 3 starts)
  5. For a playoff spot? Just the Phillies
  6. In an increasingly important game, the Nats have runners on first and third one out tied 5-5 with Philly. C'mon Nats, ensure we aren't 8 up! Edit: 6-5 Nats!
  7. Nice 9 outs left and you bunt to the pitcher. Good idea.
  8. The 08 Cubs would start a nice long rally right now. Let's see it happen!
  9. at least AP photographers won't be able to take pictures of you distraught... (that was you wasn't it?) It was :(
  10. I got it! The Cubs wanted us to remember how it felt like to be a fan the other 99 years of our title drought before making their historic championship run. This way we don't take it for granted. It sure feels like the 06 or 05 Cubs the last few days.
  11. Of course Theriot didn't get a hit. There was a runner in scoring position!
  12. Hunter Pence is my least favorite baseball player. I want to punch him in the nose.
  13. This is the closest I've ever come to swearing in my life HOLY HELL DOES THAT SUCK. There goes my dream of going to postseason games this year. Holy freaking hell does that freaking suck. This is worse news than the Z and Harden injuries
  14. This is hypothetical, and I realize I'm jumping the gun. But this goes with my playoffs crapshoot theory. If our rotation was Dempster, Lilly, Marshall and Marquis and we got really hot offensively is it possible we could still win it?
  15. Duh...have a nice year off Z.
  16. I'm actually not all that concerned about this at all. They didn't even say he was having an MRI or X-Rays.
  17. The offense did enough, but it doesn't mean you can pick on them for grounding into 4 double plays, 2 with the bases loaded. Most days, we would hardly notice because we'd have won the game, but some days the pitching isn't going to be there.
  18. Never heard of it
  19. How does our playoff magic number go down with the Brewers loss? I thought Phillie would have to lose because they are in Wild Card second place. 14 for the WC 19 for the division if the Phillies and Brewers lose respectively.
  20. It's because of that stuff you posted. Plus, the bad seats at Wrigley are really bad. Standing room only as well. They are only sold day of game and night games and weekday afternoon games not in the summer are usually not sold out. By the way, does all of MLB still go by tickets sold? I remember at one point, they actually did turnstile attendance. How do they do it now? The NL used to do turnstile attendance but since the league offices merged in the 90's MLB required all teams to go by tickets sold.
  21. I wonder why it is that the Cubs can't sellout every ticket every day. It's not because of lack of interest thats for sure. Is it because: -People assume that the game is sold out and don't try? -The Cubs ticket release policies (day of game ticket sales, etc) -Something else It's weird when the team is having the best season of a lifetime and we got less than 40k last night. I know its not because we're bad fans.
  22. Mel Rojas is where I draw the line
