    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.

    Our luck has to run out eventually right?

    Third straight inning with a runner on second and 0 outs. Why wasn't Eyre in? He's well over 100 pitches!
  6. UMFan83
    What is this infectious? Jeez. You can go all year without seeing a balk, and the Cubs get 2 in 2 games.
  7. UMFan83
    Blah, Lilly looks spent.

    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.

    Been frustrating watching the Cubs offense today...but you gotta admint, old man Maddux is definitely on top of his game tonight.
  10. UMFan83
    Lee hitting .289 now
  11. UMFan83
    Probably a 50% chance or maybe a bit less Hey....unnecessary jump!

    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.

    Theriot has given the Padres 3 outs in the last 5 minutes.
  14. UMFan83
    Good, Pujols won't play in both games tomorrow anyways, and DHs are rarely swept.
  15. UMFan83
    Just win the Wild Card and then we're both happy :)

    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

    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.
  21. 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.
  22. UMFan83
    My math is terrible but I think it's 90 games. We are 38-21 with 103 games left. If we go 52-51 that equates to 90-72. Meh still not bad. I thought someone in the game thread said 98 games and I was like :shock: I'll take 90 but I think we will play over .500 baseball the rest of the year. To finish 81-81 - 43-60 To finish 85-77 - 47-56 To finish 90-72 - 52-51 To finish 93-69 (less than 70 losses) - 55-48 To finish 95-67 - 57-46 To finish 100-62 - 62-41 To finish 103-59 - 65-38

    or that they own or have access to them! [/stereotype]

    Just for fun, based on projected numbers, this is how the Cubs would look at the end of the season. Imagine facing this lineup and rotation in the NLDS: Soriano, LF - .285/.330/.565/.895 47 HR 130 RBI Theriot, SS - .321/.407/.386/.793 3 HR 47 RBI Lee, 1B - .291/.346/.525/.870 36 HR 105 RBI Ramirez, 3B - .317/.428/.540/.968 26 HR 115 RBI Fukudome, RF - .305/.409/.433/.842 9 HR 62 RBI Soto, C - .293/.384/.560/.944 29 HR 113 RBI DeRosa, 2B - .299/.390/.465/.855 17 HR 89 RBI Johnson, CF - .266/.346/.367/.713 6 HR 76 RBI Zambrano - 22-3 2.51 ERA 1.22 WHIP 157 K Dempster - 19-5 2.75 ERA 1.12 WHIP 173 K Lilly - 14-11 5.54 ERA 1.40 WHIP 167 K Marmol - 3-3 2.43 ERA 0.81 WHIP 151 K 47 H (102 IP) Wood - 5-3 2.78 ERA 0.80 WHIP 100 K 44 S (88 IP)

    The only way that will happen is if a highly uncharacteristic storm hits SD and washes the game out after 6 innings.
