    Agreed. Also, even now a couple days later, I'm still finding new drunk posts by OMC that I haven't read yet.

    Agreed. Anything for a World Series title at this point.

    I think every team would love to have Wood in their starting rotation, but it's the problem of keeping him in the rotation and off the DL that's the problem.

    agreed...if the cubs can just take every series on this roadtrip i would be so happy! but we'll see GO CUBS The thing is, the Cubs have put themselves in such a hole that they need to start sweeping some series. Sure, if we took every 3-game series 2/3 the rest of the year, we'd probably compete, but it's probably not going to happen. So when you win the first 2 games of a series in the Cubs' position, you need to finish it off. And they've lost the last 4 times they've taken the first two of a set. Two out of three the rest of the way would give the Cubs 93 wins. Like you said though, it's not likely to happen.

    And this is why we don't start threads about sweeping a series before the sweep is completed.

    I think that is dependent on Ramirez picking it up and hitting like he has the last couple years, something I think he'll do when DLee comes back and gives him some serious protection.

    I figure St Louis will still win the division, but if they falter with Pujols out, it opens up the division for another team to get hot and make a serious push for the division. I think St Louis would have to drop to 90 wins on the year at the most for that to happen though. If they get more than 95 wins I don't think Cincinnati or Houston will get that many.

    Hopefully he doesn't pitch Wednesday because if he does, we'll probably have to face him next Tuesday as well.

    Soriano is helping me a ton also.

    With Pujols out for a couple weeks at least, not to mention Carpenter being out, the Cards are going to be hurt so I'm wondering how many wins it will take to win the Central this year? This is not necessarily a Cubs optimism thread but feel free to discuss their chances to win the Central. Here are the current standings: Team W L St. Louis 35 21 Cincinnati 32 24 Houston 27 30 Milwaukee 26 31 Chicago 22 33 Pittsburgh 21 36 Assuming each team keeps up the same pace, here are the projected final standings. Team W L St. Louis 101 61 Cincinnati 93 69 Houston 77 85 Milwaukee 74 88 Chicago 65 97 Pittsburgh 60 102 But the main question is, with Houston already in a big slump, St. Louis likely to slip during Pujols's absence, and Cincinnati regressing as well, how many wins will it take to win the central?

    Here is the NBA finals schedule. Thu 8 Miami at Dallas 5:00 PM Sun 11 Miami at Dallas 5:30 PM Tue 13 Dallas at Miami 5:30 PM Thu 15 Dallas at Miami 5:30 PM Sun 18 Dallas at Miami 5:30 PM Tue 20 Miami at Dallas 5:30 PM Thu 22 Miami at Dallas 5:30 PM All games are televised nationally on ABC and the times are on West Coast time because that's where I live and I'm tired of Eastern and Central times. Post 2700 as well.

    Agreed. I don't see a point in bringing him up this year at only 21. Let's give him most of a year at AAA to see how he develops down there first.o
  13. soccer10k
    and I had both Pujols and DLee. Just my luck :x As did I. :help:
  14. soccer10k
    Seeing as Truffle has Pujols, this could allow somebody who doesn't have Pujols to creep closer to first place.
  15. soccer10k
    He can't do any worse than Pierre has done so far.
  16. soccer10k
    So what is Pie's ideal position in the batting order?
  17. soccer10k
    He did look good today.
  18. soccer10k
    Agreed. Maddux hasn't had the bullpen cost him anything this year. When he's won, he deserved to. When he's lost, he deserved to.
  19. soccer10k
    Hopefully the hitting can continue and the pitching can pick it up.
  20. soccer10k
    Good thing Jacque stole second because that would have been a double play. It's too bad Barrett isn't coming up this inning. EDIT: But Phil Nevin is on deck.
  21. soccer10k
    He's a starter. Can he start for Rusch the next time his spot in the rotation comes up?
  22. soccer10k
    Marmol looked very good. Is he just a reliever or has he started games in the minors as well?
  23. soccer10k
    And the chances for a sweep are gone.
  24. soccer10k
    Nice hits Barrett and Walker. Time for an Aramabomb for a tie game.
  25. soccer10k
    Top of the order. Let's get some runs.
