    I really don't think MLB cares about a Chicago Marathon. What's more important a yearly marathon or a Cub playoff game. Traffic concerns.

    Jeez... Jeff Cirillo is still in the league? That's almost as surprising as Augie to me.

    Yea, I am too...I'm usually up till 2 or 3.. But I didn't really want to be partying that late with work in the morning. Ah, well. This happens what, once every 5 years?

    What about the weekend games? I only heard games 1 and 2 on the radio here. DAMN that sucks! I'll still only believe it when it comes from MLB.com though. Well, this is ESPN radio, Im sure its 100% right. While I would guess that the report is right, it's sort of funny/ironic that you place that much credibility into anything ESPN. I was being sarcastic.. lol Figures I would miss that.

Why does that suck? at least it's not in the morning. Because we'll have to be up past midnight (and later with all the excitement if they win) on weeknights? I don't care. I'll still be heading to Wrigleyville afterward if they win.

    I just saw that. I guess we'll find out soon enough. It would be a joke if it's true, though. Are we seriously moving backwards here? I did find this though... http://www.bizjournals.com/sanantonio/stories/2007/10/01/daily6.html Looks like we might even be able to tell by tonight's one game playoff.

    More like 2003...but it's a classic. Now the Cho Rly one (2007)... that one was bad.

    Link to a good D'Backs board? I tried googling last night, but couldn't find one.

    One of em is Jonah Keri, editor and contributor to Baseball Between the Numbers. I might have to pick up the book. I always meant to and forgot about it. http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0465005969 Heh, I was looking at reviews for that book, and I found a pretty funny one. Pretty much mirrors a common theme on this board. At the very least, one of the more well spoken arguments against the numbers I've seen, although he did have to resort to the "pencil necked geeks," line. At least he (almost) admits (or at least, seems to suggest) that the reason he doesn't like the numbers is that he wants to keep some of the mystery and sort of innocence of the game in tact.

    It's not like they're long posts. Mostly 1-liners. Yea...my post was pretty much complete sarcasm.

    Hell, if you can't go, hook me up with those resources!

    He can be unhappy with his most recent performance because it was bad but unconcerned because Marquis won't be coming out of the pen in the playoffs. I suppose, but it's not like he has been pitching well in his starts lately either. I would think some of the disappointment he showed in the dugout during marquis' bullpen outing was directly effected by his poor pitching overall lately. ESPN (consider the source) bottom line has game 3 starter as either Hill or Marquis. Surely Lou is not dumb enough to start Marquis for game 3 (or at all for that matter). Hill will be starting game 3. The question is if Marquis will start game 4 or if it will be Z on 3 days rest. It's not really a question anymore at this point. Lou was on the radio this morning and said he intends to go with the 3 man. He could always change his mind, though.

    I've decided I'm done buying shirts for things like division championships (which I did in 03) and wild cards (which I did in 98). They become worthless in a matter of days, anyway, because they either lose (and who wants to wear a tribute to what amounts to a failure) or they win and then you want the real championship gear. That said, I might pick up a new fitted Cubs hat this week before I head to the playoff game. My old one is looking pretty beat from everyday wear.

    Yea. I mean, the sample size really tells us nothing, but the history of SP's going on short rest is not good. Once they're playing, though, that's out the window. Beckett seemed to do pretty well being pitched what seemed like every 2 days in 2003. What it comes down to is that Z in game 4 on short rest and Lilly on normal rest in game 5 beats any realistic alternative, because Lou is not going to pitch Lilly ahead of his "ace."
  21. David
    Lilly would not be on 3 days rest if Z is pitching the first and last games.

    Does it have to do with last night's episode? Missed it.

    I see Larry David and Jeff Garlin, but I don't get the reference at all...

    Hah.. Hub Arkush thinks the Cubs are gonna have to carry all three catchers. Moron. I know you're a huge Cubs fan, Hub, but stick to football. He also said it would be "sacrilege" to keep Marquis off the playoff roster (though he admitted it would probably be the right move). How is that anywhere near "sacrilege??"
  25. David
    That can't be right. Chicago is such a huge market, there is no way they would start Playoff games that late. It'll hurt the ratings. Seems right. Makes for a 7:30 start on the west. In terms of Chicago, I doubt they'll lose that much viewership to the late start. Nationally, they would, though.
