  1. anybody that roots for a major college program and thinks that the athletes on the team are students of the same caliber as the average student at that school is kidding themself. I've known dozens and dozens of athletes that have gone through the University of Iowa, and every last one of them earned a medical degree. Even Pierre Pierce?
  2. Holy crap. Mabry 5th and Blanco 6th? Good god.
  3. Ankiel is then caught using HGH in the tunnel between the locker room and the dugout and MLB decides to take the runs off the board. Back to 14-1 Brewers.
  4. The Cubs shouldn't have to rely on the Padres. In fact, they should count on the Brewers winning out.
  5. http://www.baseball-reference.com/teams/CHC/1908_sched.shtml The 1908 Cubs were 59-46 after August 18 of that year. They finished 99-55. That's correct, they went 40-9 to end the year and didn't have a single 2 game losing streak in that time.
  6. So we'll talk 05 tomorrow and 06 on Friday, then. Excellent. Friday should be fun.
  7. Quantity doesn't equal quality. Just ask Tony LaRussa.
  8. Sarcasm? High strikeouts means alot of pitches. Thus high pitch counts and walks. Take a look at how our pitchers have done in the walk department and then you will see why I am not excited about leading the league in strikeouts. Ken Strikeouts also don't give the batter a chance to get a hit. I don't think you can correlate the strikeouts and the walks. Just because the Cubs have struck out a lot of hitters doesn't mean they're going to walk a lot of hitters also. Maybe they just aren't the best pitchers. Strikeouts and high pitch count? Certainly, because the minimum number of pitches you can throw to strike somebody out is 3.
  9. Derwood = :banned:
  10. Pads still have the Rockies to worry about as well who, along with the Phillies, are one game back in the wild-card. It's likely that the Pads-Brewers series will matter for both teams.
  11. Zambrano has to be happy to hear this news.
  12. Alright Cubs, I really, REALLY want to buy a plane ticket to Chicago for the playoffs but I'm not doing it until you bums clinch the division. At the very least, cutting the magic number to 3 would be spectacular.
  13. Gotta win the next two. There's no reason this team should lose 5 of 6 to the Marlins on the year.
  14. Willis is averaging 16 pitches per inning, which expands out to 114 in 9 innings. Might want to recheck your math there.
  15. That's really the only aspect of this game that could possibly have any appeal to a potential TV audience. There are hundreds of people in south Florida who are being mildly amused by those replays. Let them have their fun. You're assuming Marlin fans are actually watching.
  16. Stupid Marlins announcers: "The Cubs have only been to the postseason 3 times since 1945: 1984, 1989 and 2003." Uh, idiots. I know the team wasn't in the playoffs for long in 1998, but they were in there.
