    We tried pretty damn hard in Harden's last start. Couldn't quite get there, though.

    5. Mark Prior 2003, until Bob Gibson gets reincarnated, is likely to be the standard by which I measure all successful seasons by a Cubs starting pitcher. Hopefully Harden is as masterful as he was a week ago. Same. I remember thinking of Prior as some kind of dominant pitching machine that was just completely flawless.

    I can't wait to see Harden pitch again... I haven't gotten this geeked about watching a Cubs pitcher take his rotation turn in, oh, 4-5 years or so.

    http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=3499320 Are you still a de facto Bears fan? Was it the Falcons you gave up on?

    Still haven't signed Williams, right? After he was drafted he said we could count on him not holding out at all. I guess we'll see. Do we still have to wait to see how his salary is gonna slot? Good to hear on Urlacher, although I was never really that worried about that situation because he's under contract. Nice to have it resolved, anyway.

    Its the same comments, year after year. Like last year when they finished under .500? Prior to last year they weren't a roster of scrap heap players, they were damn good. Eh... 2006? Maybe they were somewhere in between, I guess.

    Guys, I'm not really banned, guys.

    Well, there you go. Shouldn't even be on the list.

    So much for that. That would've worked much better right under E.J.'s post.

    I think almost all of them are. Off the top of my head, the only one I'm really doubting is the 06 Marlins. Maybe the 03 Angels, too. I remember them having a sort of a disappointing year after the WS.

    Actually, it was 5.5...which is actually one of the bigger leads any first place team has held in any division all season (outside of whatever huge April/May lead AZ had on the west).

    Kosuke with the 1 out double

    Why would he get a day off? He just had the All Star break.

    I wish we had Chris Gomez instead of Cedeno.

    Join the party. At least Brewers and Cubs fans can agree on something. I have no problem with the Brewers making the playoffs as long as the Cubs do. The Cardinals are that common threat that won't go away. I'd MUCH rather the Cardinals win the Wild Card than the Brewers, but that's just me. *shrug*

    By the way, the Cubs drew over 3 million fans in 2005 and 2006. If you want to argue that that's because people had high expectations based on 03-04, that's fine. But the Cubs haven't drawn less than 2 million since the strike shortened season of 1995. There have been plenty of horrible, horrible teams since then that have still filled up the park.

    Regardless of if they run the Cubs for profit (which I think any owner will do) they also need to field a winner if they want people to come to the ballpark. The Tribune Company has been very fortunate that the Cubs have had "good" teams, at least on paper. My dad told me that when he use to go to games in the 1960s the upper decks use to be closed. If the new owners are perceived as only out to make a profit and not put out a good product people will stop going to the games and profit will suffer. That neighborhood is totally different these days than it was in the 60s (or even the 80s). People will still fill the park to see a loser because it's a great way to spend a day. They just won't be paying 3-5x face value to a scalper/broker. Contrary to popular opinion, people do not go to Wrigley Field, they go to see the Cubs. I don't know anyone who goes to Cubs games and gives two craps about Wrigleyville. If the new owners are perceived as not really caring about the product people will stop coming to see the Cubs. That means they will stop going to Wrigley. I live in the area (yea, I should probably update my location). Going to the games is a way of socializing and hanging out (and an excuse to drink) for a LOT of people.
