Fearless prediction........ BEARS 37 Arizona 6

Did ya notice that even after 60 years of futility, the CUBS still have the 5th best winning percentage in the game ???

Let's hope slipping off the first page isn't the bad juju I thought it was. I would have done something about it, but I was running out of excuses for pointless posts. Only one game left this week - let's see sexy Rexy and crew mow down one more roadblock. Like that ever stopped you before !! :wink:

...and that's a wrap. Mets 12 Cardinals 5.

This game has become a bit of a snorer !

so the second half score was Oakland 10 Denver -10? Sure ! Why not ?? :oops:

Final score....... Oakland 3 Denver 13

Beltran with his 2nd HR to right field makes it 12-5 Mets.

It's a St. Louis thing, eh?

.... and Yadier Molina makes it 11-5 Mets with a HR to left field.

Now, I really really really hate Edmonds !!

THAT IS WHY I HATE EDMONDS!! How come other people don't see that??!! Flops into the wall, and pushes himself over. ridiculous. I mean it was a nice catch that he made, but the showboating makes it look stupid You're preaching to the choir, bud !!

Edmonds with his usual theatrics.

Looks like this guy is just as good! Yeah.... he's a keeper !! :wink:

Valentin with a 3 run double to left field. Now 11-3 Mets.

Green with a bases loaded bloop single scores one. Now 8-3 Mets.

End of the third quarter....... Oakland 3 Denver 13

Hey, Tony..... don't pull this pitcher. I was just getting to like him !!

Delgado with the ground rule double to drive in two. Now 7-3 Mets.

You get the feeling he didn't really want to pitch to Beltran ??

Oooooooohh !!! That was you !! :wink:

.... and you didn't stop in and say Hi ???? How anti-social !!!

Oakland gets on the board with a 47 yard FG by Janikowski. Now 13-3 Denver with 7 min left in the 3rd.
