  1. Ted Lilly said "Screw you guys, I gave up 1 run in my last start and we lost. I'm taking over this game."
  2. Damn, ESPN was ready to break into their programming for GIDLee's AB if Ryan had walked.
  3. I'm so accustomed to failure that when DeRosa hit that single I just kinda assumed that it was going to be lined right at the SS
  4. Everyone say hello to the visiting Brewers fans from BF.net. They are laughing about this thread over there. :wave: :wave:
  5. Well come on, no one wants to play a 1 game playoff with the Brewers tomorrow when we can just win it outright today.
  6. Well it is our 7-8-9 hitters. DeRosa, Reed against a righty, Lilly.
  7. Man, if there was a person who was solely a Cubs fan, didn't pay attention to any baseball outside the Cubs and saw Chris Young play, they would assume he is the best player in the NL. But they are wrong, he hits like .230
  8. Is it sad that I'm happy the game is on Comcast so I can hope to hear Piniella blow up if/when we lose?
  9. What the hell are they blabbing about on the Cardinals telecast. They are joking around about Jim Edmonds text messaging the announcers tonight talking about how all the Cubs are watching this game intently. I can't tell if they are kidding or not
  10. I honestly don't remember what I did for the entire 4th quarter and postgame. My friends tell me that I just sat there on the couch saying "I can't believe we did it.....super bowl....i can't believe we did it....wow....super bowl" for like an hour. And the Bears mean maybe half as much as the Cubs do to me (although its still an awful lot...the Cubs are just below God and family for me :))
  11. I know you are trying to be an anti-troll but, shut up. You so know you are winning. 21-30 road record + 13-39 or whatever it is all time at this park + exact rematch of game 2 of NLDS which Cubs lost + Doug Davis soft tossing lefty = Cubs lose
  12. I think there are 2 PUP lists. The one now means they can come back at anytime. The next one is when the season begins, at which point he'd have to sit 6 games. Hester sitting out is annoying, but understandable. He's outperformed his contract possibly more than any player in the league. I hope he gets signed, but not to #1 receiver money. But why the hell is ESPNnews saying Bears CB Devin Hester? He hasn't been a CB in a very long time. I think he's still listed as a CB, not a WR on the Bears depth chart.
  13. Yeah I really wish we had a team that had a long string of come from behind late inning victories. Oh wait....
  14. Doesn't PUP mean he can't participate in games until the regular season? Or am I way off base?
  15. "Grossman back to pass, he pulls out his trusty buffalo nickel and flips it in the air. It's heads! Grossman tosses it to Booker, and its picked off"
  16. So we can assume Hester is holding out then?
  17. I remember that first game last year vs the Chargers - what a defense. With Dusty, Brown, and Harris hopefully back healthy this defense could be really good. I hope Forte can chip block and catch a little swing pass, cause whoever is QB is going to be under a lot of pressure. I want to see more from Olsen this year. I hope he gained some strength, especially in his legs. Lots of If's there. The D is also a year older, Brown hasn't stayed healthy for an entire year since what 2003? Forte is a rookie, but should bring some promise. The only we we succeed this year in my mind is if Brown is healthy, one WR (Bradley?) emerges Bernard Berrian style, and Grossman is Sept 2006 Grossman for half of the season (should he be named starter)
  18. He was in a group though, right? Was it Canning's group? No, he was his own group. I forgot his last name. Anixter I think? Also Levin is still in the mix I think (the owner of the Wolves)
  19. I should mention that the article says that there is a chance Canning can still make a stronger bid to show they are serious and get back in the race. I am guessing because of Selig's support for Canning, he should still be considered in the race. That said, I am really surprised their bid is that low. Maybe the group doesn't want it as much as we thought?
  20. I'm so down on the Bears this year, yet so excited that their season has begun.
  21. Looks like Canning is out for the time being, as several bidders have moved onto the next stage: http://chicagosports.chicagotribune.com/sports/baseball/cubs/chicago-cubs-bid-jul23,1,4464822.story
