  1. Leadoff double for Chris Young (basically)
  2. The best way to get the Cubs out is to roll the ball to the plate apparently....
  3. Quick pessimistic poll: Will we have a lead this series?
  4. The 1998 Cubs hit .181/.220/.234 in the 1998 NLDS I have a feeling the Cubs offense is going that way this series. We might just never get it going.
  5. Only $124 million left to pay Soriano
  6. It's taking my mind off the anticipation for this game. Nerves are shot and the game hasn't even started yet.
  7. Thanks Bruce! Derosa 7th!?!! Please Win cobs. Theriot 2nd? ugh
  8. Thanks again. I love the fact that we are ending the season against the Brewers, as well as starting it.
  9. The 2001 Yankees disagree with you.
  10. OK Cubs... Go 3-0 or 3-1, you move on. Go 2-2, or 1-2 or 0-2, you go home.
  11. How do you know that your game threads would have inspired the Cubs to victory like mine did?
  12. I don't want to 'give him time'. I mean patience yes within reason, but I'm pretty sure we don't own Prior beyond next season, meaning that we need to see what we have with him before we lose him.
  13. What about teams that give up HRs to Mark Reynolds and Stephen Drew in the same game? I still can't believe that happened. It's always the Mark Reynolds of the world that seem to kill us. Whats wrong with Mark Reynolds? His AB/HR is just slightly worse than ARAM. The kid can rake. He had 31 HRs in the minors last year. Yeah, I think some people view these players as if they are other team's crappy castoffs. With the exception of an Augie Ojeda, most of these players were top prospects adjusting to the big league game. Not many people realize that a lot of these players got better as the year went on. Stephen Drew would have been a number 1 pick if he didn't have Boras as his agent, Reynolds had good power numbers in the minors, etc.
  14. Anyone else think that the DS should be a best of 7. I think best of 5's are way too much pressure and don't put the best team in a position to win. You lose game 1 and all the sudden your guys are pressing because they can feel the pressure. I guess to some people that is fun and part of the playoff experience, but I personally don't like it.
  15. Gosh, maybe we should just lose our series to save us from the embarrassment of getting stomped by the Rockies in the next round. Of course I'm kidding but wow
  16. Well... he did have a key walk that moved a runner over to third for Theriot's IF RBI single. He was 0-1 in SB attempts, but who knows how many times the DBacks would have went for a SB with Kendall behind the plate.
  17. :shock: Optimism (actually realism) from UMFan... What the hell is going on? But yea... I like our matchups, except a potential Webb and Z on 3 days rest on Sunday... Normally I'd be pessimistic after last night, and I started to be...but I said before the series started that we would lose game 1 and win the next 3, and I'm sticking to it. Also one thing to note is that Webb has never gone on short rest in his career. Actually, I'd prefer him to go on Sunday. If he beats the Cubs, then game 5 would be Lilly vs. Owings.
  18. Cubs in 4. No disrespect to the DBacks, I think they are a good team and deserve to be here, but I just like the Cubs matchups in the next 3 games too much.
  19. I can't believe I have 250 windows and havent gotten in once in an hour
  20. I kinda just want to get in to prove that I can get in at this point...
  21. I still couldn't get through, but Mark_R is the man. He got me tickets to the third game
