    He is good at that. Pirates conceding the run on a grounder

    If we don't score here, I predict we don't make the playoffs.
  3. UMFan83
    You're going to procreate? Congratulations! :lol: I deserve that

    Monroe makes me want to make the world a worse place.
  5. UMFan83
    Man this looks like a Zambrano start, not a Marquis start.
  6. UMFan83
    This is my fault guys, I was confidently talking about buying playoff tickets to my coworkers 20 minutes ago.
  7. UMFan83
    Just gotta tip your cap to the Pirates offense.

    So looking at long relief options, who do we have? Is Gallagher on the team? I am sure it would be Hart though

    This is not the season of individual goals, but looking upon the numbers for the season, these are the statistical goals I would like to see the Cubs reach. Alfonso Soriano: .300 BA (.293), 30 HR (29), 70 RBI (60) Mark DeRosa: .300 BA (.297) Derrek Lee: .300 BA (.313), 20 HR (18), 80 RBI (74) Aramis Ramirez: 25 HR (24), 100 RBI (92) I'm too lazy to do more

    Here comes the 'we got all of our runs in the first inning' offense
  11. UMFan83
    Has he really been hit that hard? I'm not watching the game but anyone who allows Nyjer Morgan to go 2-2 and for Izzy to hit a double can't be pitching well.
  12. UMFan83
    This is why I still worry about Marquis pitching a one game playoff against the Brewers. Sometimes he just has starts like this where he is very hittable.

    Are you kidding me? If anything the Red Sox Nation has been stronger since they won the World Series. The psyche of the Red Sox fans remains the same. They get pissed when their players aren't performing well, have an unbelievable inferiority complex towards the Yankees, and still freak out when New York is in their rear view. And don't believe when Bill Simmons insecurely tries to make it seem like hes not worried. The Cubs would change not at all if we won the World Series.

    This is pathetic. Those uniforms look like the Royals home unis from the back and side. I actually kinda liked the old Rays uniforms. Do they think this is going to change their losing culture or are they just trying to hide the losing by looking hideous. No road greys? WTH?
  15. UMFan83
    Thats it? With all their callups those are the only 2 left? Or do you mean prominent hitters on the bench?
  16. UMFan83
    Lance Nix eh?
  17. UMFan83
    Tony Gwynn in for Mench. Brief night for Kevin.
  18. UMFan83
    Mench will GIDP
  19. UMFan83
    I don't like it because its a sign of things to come Monday-Wednesday

    Mike Fontenot hates him more that vile scumbag

    http://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/CHN/CHN200409300.shtml One of them was. But we had already screwed the pooch pretty bad by that point. Wow. I totally forget Harang pitched that game! Looking back on those games, I almost forgot how much of the fault for the Cubs collapse Austin Kearns was. Look at this Game 3 of the series (9/29/04): -Game tied 1-1 in the third, bases loaded and 2 outs for Sosa. Sosa just misses a grand slam by inches as Austin Kearns makes a leaping catch against the vines to rob Sosa of at least a double and the Cubs of at least 2 runs. -Cubs up 2-1 in the bottom of the 9th and 2 outs. Runner on third. Austin Kearns hits a double to score the tying run. -Top of the 12th still 2-2, Austin Kearns hits a game winning 2 run home run. Game 4 of the series (9/30/04): -Top of the 7th, Cubs up 1-0 with 2 outs. Austin Kearns hits a game tying HR

    Thats exactly what I think will happen with Pujols out. Wainwright might be good for a victory in that series though. Who knows.
  24. UMFan83
    As a fair weathered Blackhawks fan, I know exactly what your talking about. We actually still consider the Blues a rival too I think
  25. UMFan83
    The Braves used to be based in Milwaukee, is anyone sensing a conspiracy 'brewing' here?
