I don't know of any Cubs Friendly Bars in St. Louis, but I'd be up for hanging out somewhere to watch the playoff games. I'm planning on taking off work to watch anyway, so it'd be better to watch it with other Cubs fans than just at home.

I think I read that they don't Confirmed. Can win tickets to each series. Thanks guys.

Do we have to register again to try and win NLCS tickets? I read the official rules or whatever and didn't see anything about this. I just might fail at reading, though.

I would kind of like to see Theriot and Derosa to get some extra rest.

I thought I had heard Lou say early on that this was it. This was going to be his last contract and his last shot at a championship before retiring. I remember that too. However he may want to go for one last season. The bigger question though is what street gets renamed in piniella's honor? I vote for Waveland. IIRC, He said the Cubs were the last team he'd manage, not that this was his last contract.

Reed Johnson's walk off HBP, and A Ram walking down the third base line with his fist held high. Pie's HR vs. the Mets.

what the heck is that guy wearing???? (fsn)

Anybody else listening to Pat & Ron? Pat was talking about how Mott looks like a catcher with broad shoulders... when Ron interrupts and says "Face." When Pat quizzed him on it, Ron said, "It looks beat up." :-))

Al and Dan have been pretty tolerable tonight. Surprisingly. I didn't even give them a chance. I'm listening to Pat & Ron on Gameday with the TV on mute.

awesome pic.

I would assume no one needs PBP, could be wrong I always appreciate it. Although I'll be watching, so it's not necessary.

Do any of my fellow St. Louis Bears fan want to go to a bar and watch the game on Sunday?

Just one more reason to hate Charter. (I assume Mizzou has Charter)

Well you do live in St. Louis... Yeah but WGN is never blacked out here when the Cubs and Cards are playing. Not once. This isn't going to make you happy, but I get the game. DERREK!!!!! Seriously? What part of St. Louis are you in? 2-0 Cubs! Maryland Heights I have ATT Uverse I don't know what ATT Uverse is, but you're no more than 10 miles from me... that's pretty silly if I'm blacked out and you're not. Oh well, at least I'm getting it one way or another. Yea, but the Cardinals announcers are terrible, especially Hrbasky (sp?) It's ATT's TV package. 10 times better than Charter.

beautiful

Right. I'm sitting here thinking I should've gotten Sunday Ticket. Still not, but I think I'll be venturing out to the bar next weekend. Damn Rams play at the same time, so definitely not getting the game. I might join you, if you don't mind.

I think he's going to have a tough time finding work because of that. If the Cardinals are going to let him go after the year, they might be better served by him dropping to a B. Is any team really willing to give up 2 draft picks for a pitcher that sat on the free agent market for 6 months just last year? I think if he's an A, it will just end up that he accepts arbitration. Teams don't give up draft picks, do they? They just gain 2 picks in the supplemental round if they don't sign a type A free agent, correct? I mistyped it the first time. The team who signs the type A free agent does lose a draft pick, but only 1. If they are drafting in slots 16-30, then that team has to give up their 1st round pick to the team that lost him. If they draft in slots 1-15, then they give up a 2nd round pick. If they sign multiple type A's, then they give up the first eligible pick to the team with the highest rated type A they signed, then give up their next pick to the one after that, and so on. The team who loses him also receives a supplemental pick. This comes from MLB and not the league. So 1 pick from the other team, and 1 pick from MLB. The reason why I said the Cardinals might be better served to have Lohse be a type B is that if somebody signs a type B, the team that loses him gets a supplemental pick, but the team that signs him loses nothing. So there is no real risk in signing a type B player. But there is a significant price to pay for a type A player (either your first or second round pick). Teams have been more protective of their draft picks lately, and while they will be willing to give them up for players like C.C. Sabathia and Ben Sheets, they are much less likely to be willing to lose that to overpay Kyle Lohse. Thanks. I don't understand all these rules completely, and have trouble keeping them straight.

I believe the season ticket holders already have their tickets for the NLDS, NLCS, and World Series.

Not a big difference, but it proves your point. Bunting lessons the chances of scoring a run. I'd be willing to bet that the difference is greater when you factor in that Derosa is at the plate and McGehee or whomever is on deck.

blows my theory out of the water (thankfully). Sorry for the scare guys. Hopefully Z! is okay, too.

If I had to guess that's who was injured, not Zambrano.

the question is, does the google bot get $5?
