  1. *sigh* It doesn't look to me like Juice has improved his throwing much. He still shows that tendency to overthrow everything, no touch on the ball when he needs to.
  2. Lilly actually hung in there longer than I thought he would. Oh well. We didn't get it done today. We're 7-1 in our last 8 now. The Phillies are a quality opponent, it wasn't likely we would sweep anyway. It's just too bad that the Crew have such a laughable schedule comparatively the rest of the way. The real unfortunate thing in my view is the number of times we will be facing a quality opponent in September while the Crew has a tomato can to knock over.
  3. Why do they continue with the charade that the Mizzou/Illini game is in neutral territory? Sure, it's not on Mizzou's actual home field, but it's well in their territory. It's a Mizzou home game. Every year. Seems like the Illini are foolish to not insist that it switch to a more Illinois-centric location every other year.
  4. Yeah I'm a little worried about Ted against the Phils today. Hopefully we can get to Myers.
  5. What if the Brewers have been pushing us to greater heights though? They've been there the whole year. We've had to play our best baseball to stay head. I don't think a little positive pressure from the Crew has necessarily been a bad thing.
  6. Cubs make me do this: :stickman: And this: \:D/ And this: :mrgreen:
  7. I would absolutely take you up on that if I weren't working. I'd thumb-wrestle you for it. But alas, work :cry:
  8. Their stadium is an abomination. An affront to everyone who loves the game of baseball. It's like playing in a cafeteria or something.
  9. Calling all haubrichs! Need to keep that winning streak going buddy. 8-)
  10. We'll see what happens next week, but sheesh. This defense should be able to be blindfolded and be better than they've been. Yes, I know it's preseason but still. I don't recall our D looking this horrible even in preseason. I heard Saturday will be out for the Colts too. They're like a M.A.S.H. unit over there. We think we've got it bad.
  11. Haha, I tuned in just in time to see ARam's bomb between Obama sessions. This team is beyond belief. I mean seriously, Hamels had it DONE. NOT
  12. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QUSDS9pkA2Y lol is this the Cubs new theme song? It should be. Bon Jovi > Journey (even though I like Journey) *Some* Journey. Not the sappy ballads they did to rake in millions (unless you're with a girl who likes it). The other Journey.
  13. Dempster has been great, but I'd say the pitching matchup is even or slightly favors the Phillies. We don't hit Cole well at all. Gotta figure it out pronto! Beating the Phils with Hamels starting would set a very nice tone for the rest of the series.
  14. There always seems to be a team or two that pulls off the really big deadline deal and it simply doesn't help. Last year it was Atlanta and Tex. This year it looks like it will be the Dodgers and Manny although there's still plenty of time left to turn it back around. I'd rather face Colorado than Arizona, so go Rockies.
  15. They're not playing like it though. I'm crossing my fingers but not holding my breath. Over the course of just 30 games, is it really about who is the better team? Or is it more about whether a team can simply get on a hot streak at the critical time? I think the latter. All depends on whether the Rockies can keep streaking.
  16. And Cirillo finally acknowledges why Villy's rant was out of line. Schroeder and Anderson missed it during the game.
  17. It's good to see a couple non-Cub teams in the division develop some bad feelings for each other.
  18. What the hell was that?!? Good job, bring the tying run to the plate with the big boppers coming up. :x
  19. Oh that was actually a good slider.
  20. Little more cushion for the Cards' makeshift closer dude.
  21. isn't he out for the year and possible career? Oh hell I don't know. I refresh myself on Cards' DL/roster stuff when I decide to care for a game or two.
