    Seriously? I doubt that's true. Everything Lou has done this season suggests that he wants to win today's game, and not think about tomorrow.
  2. UMFan83
    Another thing....can't Marmol just get 2 games or more off at some point. Does he have to pitch in every big situation every game? Edit: Looks like its already been discussed.
  3. UMFan83
    Hawk has already brought up the Cubs losing two seperate times since the game ended.
  4. UMFan83
    Now we have to worry about which teams gained ground on us. Milwaukee is only 6 back..
  5. UMFan83
    We beat him last Monday. At home. And all we got off of him was a wind aided HR in the first and almost nothing afterwards. Balls at Dodger Stadium at night carry almost as bad as Petco.

    Honestly, Lou should consider moving Lee down in the order until he snaps out of this slump. Move Lee to 5th or 6th and Soto 3rd, although he's not exactly hitting really well either. He's hitting .225 with a .645ish OPS over his last 31 games. That's almost 20% of the season he's been hitting with a sub .650 OPS

    I'm guessing that he figures since Lilly only pitched 3 innings in the last game he could be extended a bit.
  8. UMFan83
    Our luck has to run out eventually right?
  9. UMFan83
    Third straight inning with a runner on second and 0 outs. Why wasn't Eyre in? He's well over 100 pitches!
  10. UMFan83
    What is this infectious? Jeez. You can go all year without seeing a balk, and the Cubs get 2 in 2 games.
  11. UMFan83
    Blah, Lilly looks spent.
  12. UMFan83
    I don't think I can make it up til the end of this one. I am really tired from the first 2 games. Of course this one has to be the closest of the 3 games.
  13. UMFan83
    Been frustrating watching the Cubs offense today...but you gotta admint, old man Maddux is definitely on top of his game tonight.
  14. UMFan83
    Lee hitting .289 now
  15. UMFan83
    Probably a 50% chance or maybe a bit less Hey....unnecessary jump!
  16. UMFan83
    Nice play! I was thinking for sure they would go for the DP, but I think this was the smart move. And Ramirez didn't hesitate at all before making the play which really helped him.
  17. UMFan83
    Theriot has given the Padres 3 outs in the last 5 minutes.
  18. UMFan83
    Good, Pujols won't play in both games tomorrow anyways, and DHs are rarely swept.
  19. UMFan83
    Just win the Wild Card and then we're both happy :)
  20. UMFan83
    I don't know but according to ESPN's RPI, the Brewers are right up there with the Cubs http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/stats/rpi Cubs are the number 2 team, Brewers number 4. I'm guessing a big reason is SOS.

    Does anyone know if anything like that has ever happened? Two teams clinching the division and wild card while playing a series against each other. That would be kind of neat. The Yankees and Red Sox did that in 2005 I believe. on the last day of the season, wasn't it? Yeah...it really wasn't that cool for 2 reasons: 1) They finished with identical records, but the Yankees won the division on a tie breaker 2) The Indians swooned big time meaning by Saturday I believe both teams had clinched a playoff bearth, so the actual designation of who was Division Champ and who was Wild Card didn't matter too much
  22. UMFan83
    So you're saying that they will win 14-1 then?

    The Cubs were 5-9 games up from mid-August on. So I wouldn't say run away like the 2004 Cardinals did, but it wasn't an epic race or anything.
  25. UMFan83
    You know whats funny. When you win everyday, after awhile, the media treats some wins like a loss. Yesterday the whole story was how Marquis sucked, the middle relief couldn't hold it, etc. But they freaking won. I love it.
