    Huh? Are you saying that because the Cards don't have enough head to head games to pass us up by winning all of them or something?

    And if the Padres win, their record will also be a palindrome. I think the same can be said for the Phillies and Mets, but I'm too lazy to look again to make sure.

    This is totally offtopic, but as I was looking on Google Maps to see where the hell Dixon, CA was, I zoomed out and noticed a town named Vacaville...anyway, that pointless story aside, didn't we used to have a pretty active poster here named vacca (or something like that)? What ever happened to him/her? Or maybe my brain totally made that up...

    Pretty cool how these guys get along. I'm not at all big on the chemistry stuff, but it is cool to at least have the impression that our players all get along. Heard on MJH yesterday that DeRosa threw a party at his house in ATL the other night, and 23 of the 25 players were there. That's pretty awesome. No word on who the two who weren't there are, but maybe there's a couple players who live in ATL who took the time to be with family instead... That or they're just jerks who don't like their teammates.

    fontenot has a .909 OPS... only 6 teams in baseball have better than a .909 OPS out of the 3 hole. I was gonna do this, but then I figured, "Why bother?" Plus, his real point, that Lee hasn't been performing up to expectations, is valid. So I was all meh about it.

    Assuming we are still ahead in the division later in the year, will we see any sort of celebration when we clinch the wild card? Will we wait till we clinch the division (which may or may not ultimately happen)? Will it be odd to celebrate at that point because a playoff spot was already locked up or whatever? What if they clinch the wild card, don't celebrate, and then wind up not winning the division? Just thinking aloud. Me and my buddy were sort of wondering aloud about it last night at the bar. How have teams handled that in the past?

    If the Cubs win this game, our record will be a palindrome.

    Ramirez went into the future, realized he did bad in the upcoming playoffs, and panicked and sent the rest of the clubhouse into a panic.

    The Brewers will lose today and then we will too. That's just how this race has been going.

    Precisely

    Where did I say that? Speaking of patently false. The discussion is about how their playoff experience didn't calm them in last year's playoffs. Going into last year's playoffs, they hadn't struggled. You're saying that Ramirez has struggled in the postseason is irrelevant because he hadn't struggled going in. I don't even know why I'm bothering arguing about this anyway. The sample sizes on all of these playoff numbers are way too small to carry any weight. Especially since they're in my favor. My point was that Edmonds had success both at the plate and winning the WS and it MAY have a possible good influence on the Cubs as a team in the playoffs. I've heard players mention that player X helped me with this or Player Y helped them with this, why can't it be possible that Edmonds might be able to recognize something and help another player out? Also, that said player might be more apt to listen to him since he has won before? IMO, the mental part of the game is even more important in the playoffs, especially with all the extra curricular things that go on. OK, I'm done.

    Because he's the second least productive hitter in the everyday lineup.

    Picking and choosing? Going into the playoffs last year, the stats from the 2007 playoffs didn't exist. To say that Ramirez hadn't had playoff success going into that series is patently false.
  17. David
    Except there's no need for a "typical" leadoff hitter and we shouldn't be looking to fill an imaginary need.
  18. David
    Exactly.

    Sori 225/279 slug 319 Lee 226/289 slug 298 Ramirez 196/308 slug 464 Edmonds 277/365 slug 523 One has been there and did well while the others have struggled in post season play. Again, does this mean Edmonds will lead them to victory because of these numbers...maybe, maybe not. But, He may be a calming influence on these players and add a tip or two that they may be able to implement have have a little more success. Not that any of this matters, but what were those numbers before last year's playoffs?

    Kevin Hart came up last year and posted a 0.82 ERA with 13K and 4BB in 11 IP. Just sayin.
  21. David
    It's a good sign when so many of people's concerns revolve around the batting order in some way, which doesn't really matter all that much.
  22. David
    Soriano had been there before. Lee had been there before. Aramis had been there before. Others, too. I know Banedon acknowledged this in the first post. I'm just pointing out that if they were, in fact, pressing last year, then the very people who some people seem to expect to be calmed down somehow by a guy that's been there before had already been there before themselves and weren't calmed by their own experience.
  23. David
    I'm hoping that what they're implying with the "boundary calls such as HR" part is that all fair/foul calls will be challenge-able. If so, this would be a good start.
  24. David
    Oh, nevermind... that pitch sure looked like it hit Sori on Gameday... :oops:

    Pitcher got tossed for pegging Soriano
