  1. They're competing them with them by doing the same thing those teams are doing: winning series and beating up on the bad teams. No team plays mostly good teams in a season, and bad teams don't consistently beat up on other bad teams: then they wouldn't be bad teams. Im with 100%. It is just my personal opinion that the Cubs still have a ways to go, get Llly/Dempster back and healthy, Soto, etc. before I can be convinced that this team has a good chance of winning something. I'm encouraged by the play as of late, I hope it continues. This team has the pieces, maybe they are starting to fall into place. What they need to have a good chance of winning is the division. Given the fact that they are a half game out of first place at the moment, they obviously have a decent enough chance at doing that. If that's done, they essentially have as good a chance as every other playoff team (and as much of a chance as last year's team had going in to the playoffs) of winning a World Series. Let's not try to make this more complicated than it is.
  2. Did you get the impression that they were severely overmatched in the Philly series with two blowout wins in either direction and an extra innings loss? I don't get the idea that they can't reasonably compete with better teams. What does that even mean?
  3. you can't walk across the plate... you gotta hit em across
  4. If you're not going to have tomorrow's GT up by midnight tonight, let me know. Thanx. Win or lose?
  5. my bad about the game thread guys... :oops: weekends are bad for me :)
  6. Johnny Cueto http://chicago.cubs.mlb.com/images/gameday/mugshots/mlb/456501.jpg 120 ERA+ 1.266 WHIP ...takes on... Kevin R. Hart http://chicago.cubs.mlb.com/images/gameday/mugshots/mlb/453954.jpg 190 ERA+ 1.723 WHIP
  7. Except play closer to their abilities for the next 70 games or however many. I'd rather take a bet that pigs gain the ability to fly before October I'd be glad to bet you on the Cubs winning the division if you think it's such a longshot... :wink: with commensurate odds, of course
  8. Why is that messing around? Hitting the pitcher 8th is smart, and despite what the rest of baseball tries to portray it as, it's not just some gimmick. That said, it's not a huge deal either way.
  9. Except play closer to their abilities for the next 70 games or however many.
  10. hahahahsahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
  11. ESPN doesnt seem to like the deal. I'm guessing that's Rotoworld's take on it, but either way.
  12. werd i know a few cardinal fans and they are not happy with this deal
  13. Can't friggin wait.
  14. Hey I have an idea...let's hate a team that plays in a different league and gets treated like a red-headed stepchild in the city, getting significantly less attention than the Cubs despite the fact that they just won a championship 4 years ago...
  15. Is the anti-Sox snark really necessary? This is NORTHsidebaseball.com, so I think it is necessary. lol
  16. The catch itself wasn't that great, it was his recovery when he dropped it. + the situation
  17. hahaha that too
  18. NFL.com piece on Marinelli and the line... http://www.nfl.com/news/story?id=09000d5d8116b944&template=without-video-with-comments&confirm=true Oh, and... wow So much for editing.
  19. That's not to take anything away from him at the plate. He's an offensive beast.
