    Not much chance of that happening. Since when did this team become a better road club than home, btw? That's disturbing.

    I want the 6th seed. Is that too much to ask for? If you watched any part of Saturday's game, yes it is. Looks like there are 3 playoff positions available, and 4 teams fighting for them. After Saturday's debacle, I'm wondering whether the Bulls will be the team left out. That was a terribly poor showing.

    I'm impressed somewhat, even if we lose. This was the game we were supposed to get crushed. Didn't happen. We are hanging in there.

    Where did these Umps come from? This is BS man. That's 2 bad calls in ONE INNING.

    JOCK WITH THE JACK!!!!! WELCOME TO CHICAGO BABY!!!! :D :D

    Just to prepare you: If Jacques doesn't get it done there will be boos.

    Wow rip off city Lee was safe.

    insightful post. Indeed. There's no insight to be had with this subject, so I did the best I could. Until he's back, he's injured. That's pretty much it.

    I have a right to cuss out the mentally handicaped kid at the grocery store for not bagging my groceries quick enough. But my right, doesn't make me less of an a-hole. I never said it didn't. People have a right to be a-holes, too. Are you suggesting we start handing out fines for people booing too early in the season? Fines? Are you kidding? I'm suggesting we don't boo because booing isn't warranted in this situation. I want Jacque Jones to succeed, and I think the best way for him to succeed is for him to not get treated like complete sh-t for making an out. I'd rather they don't boo too. But from the sound of it, they aren't listening to us :wink:

    KERRY WOOD UPDATE: He's still injured. Thanks.

    Isn't that the way it usually works? The superstar player goes 0-fer, and some benchwarming scrub has the best 3 games of his life. Yes. This goes hand-in-hand with bottom dwelling teams that come to Wrigley and look like playoff contenders, only to return to their bumbling ways once they leave town. Then after dropping 3 to them, we head off to Houston and win 2/3. :?

    Then the organization would be forced to bring up someone from within, and Sing would be our RFer. Are you suggesting that would be a bad thing? Because I, for one, would like to see Sing get some kind of shot at the big club.

    I agree it shouldn't be done this early. But fans have a right to boo. You also have a right to not like it.
  15. Soul
    It's all about mopping up in the close ones. Unless we're talking about the bottom dwellers, teams will all have their share of blowouts during the year. It's always the good teams winning a high percentage of their close games, and the also-rans losing a high percentage. Plus when you get into the playoffs you have to assume every game will be close. Maybe that's why the Cards get beat in the playoffs. They don't get much experience in the close games during the year so they can't handle it when someone kicks them in the teeth in the post season (that's just wild speculation on my part).

    And if Detroit got hot for 5 games in the middle of July, nobody would be making such a huge deal about it. of course not, but they have justified their ranking. I don't think a hot stretch of less than 5% of the season justifies anything. For all of Detroit's hotness, they're an entire one game ahead of Cleveland. Nobody has justified their rankings yet. I am happy I started Verlander today, though. True. I think there are few folks in Detroit who are cocking their eyebrows and re-considering whether a trip to the ballpark might be a good idea this summer though. If they can keep it going, Tiger fans will at least have something to cheer about which they haven't had in forever. Cleveland looking much better since the debacle in the opener...

    Once again, Mariotti garners attention for himself, and therefore success as a columnist. He wins because nobody can stop talking about him.

    I'm not convince about the Brewers. Yes, they are 5-0, but in every game they HAD to come back to win. Playing "cardiac kids" is not a good way to win. There are some intriguing talent on that team (*Turnbow, OMG, what a friggin' stud) but I do think Brewers ultimately will falter, and finish behind the Cardinals and the Astros, as those two teams will finish behind the Cubs. Question: What WERE the Angels (or for that matter Philadelphia) thinking by letting Turnbow go? They've had to come from behind against the likes of Pittsburgh & Arizona. These two are not really the cream of the NL crop. They go on a tough 9 game RT next week & will probably get a little bit of a wake-up call. STL,NYM,HOU True. Sheets is still on the shelf though right? Fielder just had his first decent game---before that he was 0-fer. I think a case can be made there are more pitching pieces in place on the Brewers than the Reds, which is why I would buy them hanging around for longer than Cincy. Never know how it will actually shake out of course.
  19. Soul
    Yes. That was a disappointing loss. They didn't even show up tonight. It wasn't Deng either. There were open shots all over the place.
  20. Soul
    Cardinals players should hate Wrigley. I'd be more upset if Edmonds said "oh hell yea this is our home away from home."
  21. Soul
    God, will someone please hit an open shot? Freaking 6ers don't play a lick of D and we can't take advantage. :evil:

    Learn to embrace your disgruntled Cub fan side... Of course, that makes you unpopular with fellow Cub fans who still sport the misplaced optimism. 8) I think it's better than drinking though.
  23. Soul
    Yeah, I didn't know you could just run with the ball until you run into someone and draw a foul. The word has obviously come down from Stern to the officials: "do whatever it takes to get Iverson in to the playoffs."
  24. Soul
    Brewers were winning without him. That's sort of disturbing.
  25. Soul
    If you get good tix for face value, I'd be suprised. It's Wrigley & the Cards are in town.
