  1. Maybe, but only if Portugal plays like the game means something to them. You know Germany is going to come out firing because they're playing at home and will get ripped if they don't play hard. But we don't know which Portugal team will show up. I really like the France-Italy final. I think it's going to be an excellent game.
  2. Weaver will post a good ERA for the Cards. Book it.
  3. Is it bad that when I saw Mark Prior's Calves had started this game thread I thought "the Cubs didn't win today did they?" before remembering that the Cubs did win? My first instinct is that the Cubs lost. I should add that I watched todays game as well.
  4. I like Cabrera's more because the pitcher didn't even throw the ball. Both were awesome though.
  5. And if you take out his home runs, that will surely do a number on his SLG percentage. As Pedro said, you can't just take out some of his hits to prove your point.
  6. Though he did speak up enough to say he thought he was a "#6 type hitter"...and oh, how we and the local press mocked. Curses! He's a No. 2 hitter now. When did they move him into that slot? I could swear he started doing well for Baltimore hitting down in the lineup. He bats seventh in the line up. Corey has 11 AB's batting #1, 6 AB's batting #5, 101 AB's batting #6, 75 AB's batting #7, 44 AB's batting #8 and 21 AB's batting #9. Here are his splits for each spot in the order.
  7. I think Hendry only has next year to turn it around whether he hires a new manager or gives Baker an extension. Either way, I think he has one year for the reason you stated of having three bad years in a row.
  8. =D> Agreed. Excellent post.
  9. It's just going to be a whole "Clutch" movement in general. If you don't come through in the clutch, whether hitting or pitching, you aren't going to win games. Note: Cubs philosophy not mine.
  10. Two straight complete game losses for Oswalt. That can't be fun.
  11. I want Dempster to save this because Marshall deserves a W for his performance today.
  12. The next time the Cubs will be .500 is when they are 0-0 in 2007. And that's technically even .500.
  13. I'm surprised Tavarez didn't try to run all the way home on that one considering Pierre was throwing the ball. He probably would have beat the throw.
  14. 2 OUTS!!!!!!!!! Neifi's strikeout counts double.
  15. Me too. I'm thinking there will be little if any changes until someone higher on the food chain fires Hendry. Jimbo has lost all sense of reality---he's stuck in a corner ruled by his own ego, unable to accept that his plain is a grade A failure. He's not changing anything. Me 3. These people have an odd way of running a team. Count me in with this as well. I still don't see Dusty being fired. The best I can hope for is for no extension but I don't think that Hendry realizes that Dusty isn't the right person for this job.
  16. Hopefully Dempster. The Cubs get the victory and help my prediction that they will score less than 15 runs this week.
  17. Getting close to 100000 total posts in Game Threads.
  18. I never get tired of listening to Pink Floyd.
  19. 17 to 1 in favor of Zeppelin. No surprise here.
  20. mmm...beer. Good idea.
  21. I can't bring myself to pull for France so I'm going for Italy. It should be a great game as both are very talented defensively.
