    I'm just saying: Cubs don't come back in that Saturday Cardinals game, and their schedule has gone WLWLWLWLWL for the year.

    If it makes any Bulls fans better, Philly just lost again, and the Bulls magic number for making the playoffs is 1, meaning if the Bulls win any of their last 3 games (and at Home vs. Toronto is looking pretty good), or the 76ers lose any of their last 2 (they still have to play vs. NJ) the Bulls are win Sorry back to ranting.

    the D loses this one.

    If we lose, its speed and defense that did us in. A CS by Pagan in the 2nd, that was followed by a double cost us a run. An error by Cedeno in the 3rd cost us a run. There you have it.

    I'm starting to worry that Pierre will be like last years version

    Obviously this is nothing more then an internet rumor, but are the Cubs looking at May 4th for Wood's return? http://mb3.scout.com/fchicagocubsfrm1.showMessage?topicID=26455.topic

    I also post on this board, same handle as here. PowerWoofer is practically bipolar when it comes to the Bulls. :lol: I know, I thought I was bad, but he just goes insane when things go bad. BTW, brewerfan.net is on that list on WSI, they just posted the direct link to the board.

    Brilliant game. I spent a good majority of my childhood throwing those wacky pitches. Remember the hit that when it hits the ground an earthquake happens and none of the fielders can move, but you can. Good stuff.

    Actually found a GREAT list of MLB teams forums over on WSI. Yes I lurk over there from time to time. Anyways, this should pretty much end the thread. http://www.whitesoxinteractive.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?p=1094883#post1094883

    Zach Duke is the classic case of Pirates pitchers who dupe me into thinking they are good enough for my fantasy team, so I pick them too early and they suck. Last years example was Oliver Perez, who is basically a waste of life at the moment. Get a win Cubs!

    A large portion of the upper stands is closed to fans at this point. That's because of construction. I also remember when I was a kid visiting family in Minnesota and going to a Twins game at the old Metropolitan Stadium. The entire upper deck was closed off because there were so few people at the game. I mean they had chain link fences up and everything so you couldn't go up there. Edit: I just saw the highlight with Lee's gamewinning home run. Those sections you saw in the left-field corner are still under construction and fans can't sit there. Can anyone thing of another park that was still in the process of being built or heavily redone during the season? Wasn't Edison Field in Anaheim the last place that was like that? Oakland had ongoing construction during the season as they made an ugly park even uglier for baseball. When Safeco opened, they opened after the All Star break which I thought was interesting.

    so, you'd like the cubs to not win as much as possible early on? Yes, it is obvious that this is exactly what I was saying.
  13. UMFan83
    There is no way this is anything close to a must win series. The Astros were 10 games under .500 in late May and they did fine. Just relax and enjoy the fact that baseball is around. Start getting anxious and worrying in July and August.

    My conspiracy theory is that the MLB is juicing balls in order to compensate from a drop in HRs in the post steroid era. This makes the steroids era seem over dramatized, and makes it look like it was not as big of a deal as people make it out to be. I don't really believe that, but it sorta makes sense.

    Wonder if Ron can tell Dusty his lineup "sounds like a winner" with a straight face today... Then again, with Z pitching, any lineup has a shot at being a winner. As Brenley likes to remind us ad nauseum "if you pitch a shutout and hit a home run, you can't lose"
  16. UMFan83
    If Walker can't hit against lefties, explain why he was left in to hit against Rincon on Sunday night. Then, after he walked, Hairston was brough in to run for him...
  17. UMFan83
    Looks like its 7 games into the season, and we're already going to have to deal with hobbled Ramirez...thats right, for the rest of the year he will be even slower and will randomly sit out 2-3 game stretches because his muscles are acting up.
  18. UMFan83
    I don't care how good he does with them, hes just not going to be good enough to make me mad that we traded him.

    One of the more interesting Eric Milton/Cubs encounters ever: http://www.retrosheet.org/boxesetc/B07250PHI2004.htm Milton had a no hitter going until: ?!?!?! then: then: Which mind you was about 5 feet from being a go ahead HR. then: Hawkins L(2-3) 0.1 1 1 1 1 0 0 Stupid Hawkins

    2 of the Nets last 3 losses have come at the hands of the Bulls :) Don't overlook Atlanta, they play well at home, Joe Johnson is a beast, and the Bulls came off a draining effort yesterday. This is a definite trap game, and I have a bad feeling about it.
  21. UMFan83
    ^ Yup, look at their best games this season. They've all come when the Bulls shot well from the field. The worst ones like Saturday, they shoot terrible. Anyways, midway through the first, its 18-17 Bulls
  22. UMFan83
    Wait... what? What happened to Ramirez?? He strained his 'rear end' swinging at a pitch late in the game.
  23. UMFan83
    Hope we have Jones or at least ARam in the lineup. Guys on the Score were talking about it earlier. They said Jones is speculated to miss a couple of games with that Hammy, while ARam they said who knows. They'd expect him to play tomorrow, but with him you never know.
  24. UMFan83
    I'll pull a Fred here: The Cubs are 4-0 in games not started by Glendon Rusch
  25. UMFan83
    2 questions: Who else got injured today besides Jock? I caught the tail end of a PC where they were talking about a sore glut and day to day. What's the longest a SP has gone this year? Maddux?
