    Rusch is auditioning for closer next year by getting into trouble every inning. The only problem is, sometimes he is not getting out of it.
  2. UMFan83
    I can't speak for anyone else, but my mama taught me not to talk with my mouth full of crow. are you telling people to eat crow because rusch had one good inning? :roll: Corey Patterson hit a HR once :lol:

    The Cubs can't lose quietly :)
  4. UMFan83
    Corey gets criticized for blowing it every single game. I guarentee he'll blow it again tonight. If he doesen't, I'll put "CaliforniaRaisen is God" in my sig. Who should we blame besides the .230 hitting Centerfielder? :)

    I wish we were facing someone like Roger Clemens or Roy Halladay tonight
  6. UMFan83
    This place quieted in a hurry
  7. UMFan83
    Maybe Corey needs to get bumped up to leadoff for a few weeks to cure his slump.

    If I'm adding this up correctly, if scores stay the same, the worst we can do is lose 1/2 a game. I guess thats a good thing

    :D Thank you steve stone. It did once at Coors Field in its 10 years of baseball.
  10. UMFan83
    Are you sure he was trying to go 3 1/3 innings cause he sure had trouble getting the first out in the 4th :)

    I still don't see the Wild Card winner winning 90 games, unless Florida actually plays consistant and runs away with it. I see 87 wins or so taking it, meaning the Cubs need to go 27-13. Still don't see that happening unless Glendon and Maddux are very good down the stetch. But let's take it game by game and hope everything works out.

    62 thru 3 for Prior
  13. UMFan83
    That is simply amazing, Fred. You can't possibly track that, can you? You have got to be making that up. It's very real. You'd be amazed what you can do with a good database program !! :wink: edit:... not only that..... CUBS are 15-10 when the temperature is 85 degrees or above Outstanding. Great work, Fred. Remind me to hire you when I finally get my dream job of Cubs play-by-play broadcaster. You've got some of the best filler I've ever seen. He'd be like the guy from Little Big League. "well here's something to keep in mind, Johnson is hitting .300 against pitchers he's facing for the first time, against teams north of the Mason-Dixon Line, who don't play their home games in a dome." :lol: :lol: :lol: Someone watching Starz a few hours ago?? :)

    You know whats funny about this. Dusty said something in the papers to the effect of he can't always play the rookies because they are expected to be prepared to play baseball and not make rookie mistakes. He can't give them on the job training in the middle of a playoff race. Yet even the veterans and Dusty himself continually make dumb mistakes. Oh well...this series kinda seemed like a trap series to me anyways.

    Another big game performance by Prior
  16. UMFan83
    Man, Prior's ERA is way too high (3.70)
  17. UMFan83
    Heh, you guys know you aren't banned from the regular forums? :)
  18. UMFan83
    Man, the Cubs could be back to 6.5 behind after todays double header
  19. UMFan83
    ^^ Well at times its hard to give Maddux the benefit of the doubt that he 'placed' the ball on the outside corner on purpose when 2 batters earlier he 'placed' a ball high in the zone that was hit onto Waveland. BTW, why is this in Rivalries?
  20. UMFan83
    It must have something to do with his gameday routine being disrupted for day games. Or maybe he's just not a morning person. Who knows. There is so logical reasoning I can think of to why someone's D/N splits are that extreme. Mind boggling... Theres one guy I can live without having on the Cubs :)
  21. UMFan83
    I really hope Dusty puts in Woody regardless of who is coming up.
  22. UMFan83
    At this point, in situations like this I root for the team that I think has less of a chance of winning it. I still don't see the Nationals winning this thing, although the fact that they were able to somewhat right their ship is admirable. That said, it would be nice to say we are 5.5 out tonight, but if we are 6 back and Philly gets a loss, I think thats the best for us. LOL, anyone see Everett go for a quick throw to first, and then see slow Aramis running down the line and make an easy toss for the out??
  23. UMFan83
    Andy Masur is terrible. I'm watching the game on ESPN but have WGN radio streaming on Gameday Audio. As usual, its on a delay so I get to see the play and then hear Masur call it. Brutal so far
  24. UMFan83
    Wood pitched yesterday, I doubt they use him today. Yeah but he only threw 9 pitches. There has been speculation out there that Dusty would use today to test Kerry Wood out for the second straight day, considering the importance of this game.
  25. UMFan83
    By the way, how great does it feel to be moderately confident that your 8-9 pitchers can get the job done with no worries?
