I think ARod was much better in the post season with the Mariners, correct? I think it's just a rut he's in with NY. He'd be great with the Cubs in the postseason.

Well, the Expos/Nats haven't. Cling to that for your sanity, I guess.

Sorry, I just dont see it. They wont be able to compete for the big free agents. their bullpen is horrible. Their starting pitching is mediocre at best, and Sheets has proved he cant stay healthy. They will definitely provide some healthy competition, but 90 wins is stretching it. Bullpens are fickle, Gaurdaro is probably the future ace and Capuano will probably rebound. Also what free agents do they need? They could probably use a LFer since Mench is no good and Jenkins is probably leaving. The Brewers are a young team getting better. The Cubs are a older team whose star players are probably only going to decline in the future. The Brewers young hitting reminds me of the Cubs young pitching in 03. Sure, they are great and they will cause the team to be in contention by themselves for years (without injuries). The same thing is true for both teams though-how does the Brewers hitting get better? Many of their young hitters are already great, so are they really going to develop that much more? For example, Braun. He had a 1004 OPS this year. Do you see him consistently going over that? Gallardo for their pitching also had a #1-#2 like season already although only in 110 innings. Braun and Gallardo for a full year will help them, but I honestly don't see how their young players are going to get better because they already have broken out. Some of them might get better, but some of them also might have just had career years. The chances seem about equal both ways. Yeah, I don't see how anyone can simply conclude, in October of 2007, that guys like Braun and Hart are going to repeat their performances from last year. Nobody knows if they'll be able to assemble much of a bullpen next year either. Also nobody knows what role injuries will play, for either the Cubs or Brewers. There's no way the outcome of '08 can be predicted right now. At least wait until ST starts.

My God, what the hell is going on out there? UCLA is playing a third string, walk-on redshirt freshman QB with backup RBs. Still no reason to be losing. Ack I just saw the update. Horrible turnover. Should know the only way ND gets a win will be when a team hands it to them.

I forgive them. Hehe. I'll bet Vance doesn't.

LOL.

My God, what the hell is going on out there?

Absolutely unforgivable for LSU to leave Ingram that wide open.

Florida wow, wide the hell open. Tebow long pass TD. 23-14 Florida now.

Is that the ABC game out west? I'm not getting it. I hate ND, hope they go winless. You boys better get your butts in gear and beat 'em.

USF and Ohio State might very possibly not lose. Either of those clubs could/should be #1 if LSU goes on to lose. Who else could it be? Cal Oh yeah could be Cal too!

USC girls crying! Freaking awesome man!

Classless USC fans booing. What a watershed moment for Harbaugh and Stanford!! USC goes down hard!

It's OVER! Unbelievable!! USC LOSES!! USC LOSES!!!!!!11

Holy crap I almost fell off my chair -- what a sack by Stanford!

Bah 15 yard facemask on the return. USC still has a chance.

Seriously how insane would it be if both LSU and USC LOST!?! 24-23 Stanford!!

Oh my Lord TOUCHDOWN Harbaugh!! Erm, I mean Stanford!!

We'll see. We've got new owners coming in who will in all likelihood have just as deep if not deeper pockets than the Trib, there will be free agency, we don't know if the Cubs will spend or not. A lot can happen. The Crew aren't going anywhere without a bullpen, and a bullpen can be a funny, unpredictable thing to try to put together. I also don't believe their closer will repeat last season. I think he's a one-season wonder.

yes they posted the story i mentioned, then posted a story calling Cubs fans idiots for believing it. MOST OF US DON'T, so don't put that crap on our webpage. Well, also to be fair, like 90% of the people who saw it will not have read the article and will only think "look, the Cubs' own site feeds into the curse, how ridiculous." It's embarrassing, really. Just ignore the damn thing, the last thing we need is our own friggin team acknowledging it.

They're 2nd class, and can't take it. Their parents actually raise their kids to hate like this. They carry it all through their lives. It's really pathetic.

Concern and Hand-wringing in Death Valley -- Florida up 17-7 now.

Because they're Stanford. Hehe, yeah.

Ack, how do you leave him that wide open? USC scores on an easy bomb, 23-14 USC now.
