    The Cubs have been celebrating a lot on the mound after wins lately. Let's keep it up.

    This game isn't as meaningful as it appears. It could provide Wood with a huge confidence boost that Lou trusts him to get any MLB player out in a tight spot. I mean, he has a 60% chance of succeeding for the win. Right? Right???

    I prefer to have taste. Ouch. I like how he says that on a page where everyone is gleefully quoting Wesley Willis.
  4. Guancous
    Wesley Willis? Ronnie Woo Woo + 150 pounds? Either way, shocking that we managed to go from EA to this guy on the same page of the game thread. ROCK AND ROLL MCDONALDS ROCK AND ROLL MCDONALDS CUT THE MULLET

    I just finished watching the convention speech. I credit Obama for that Cubs rally.

    That game is a microcosm of New York's September last year.

    So if we go 21-9 to finish the season, we are guaranteed to make the playoffs. I like it. Considering we are in the middle of a 22-6 stretch, I think its possible to do that. Keep in mind that the Brewers and Cardinals play each other tomorrow.

    This inning is still going on? I watched 3 convention speeches and come back to another pitching change! Further proof that the Cubs can't lose even if they try.

    Soto is like a good Todd Hundley but not surly. Shades of Rick Wilkins!

    Everyone needs to take a deep breath. The Cubs are down two runs after three innings. This thread sounds like we're down 10 runs to the Brewers. How many times have the Cubs gone down early only to rally for the win? What are you scared of? The Pirates bullpen? I thought the Red Sox had the fan base that derived their pleasure from complaining.

    John Cusack is on the radio before his 7th inning stint. He sounds like a real knowledgeable fan.

    I'll give credit where credit is due. Jim Hendry had way, way more faith in DeRosa's abilities than I did. He's been excellent in a Cubs uniform.

    That's a big if. It's not like he got caught smoking a joint before a concert. The guy should have filmed his own A&E special. HBO documentary producers were probably looking for him harder than the Rays scouts.

    I would have been livid if Jim Hendry promised a 25 man roster spot to a guy who spent the previous year living in a crack house. The odds of a junkie reaching All-Star status must be under 1%. That's not a risk I would be willing to take unless I could stash him in the minors somewhere. I'm sure the $50,000 looked like a safe bet in the risk analysis.

    It's probably a combination of the long string of consecutive games that the Cubs are in, and the fact that Gaudin threw 52 pitches yesterday. It's not like they're stretching Dempster out in this game..they're just not taking him out early. Samardzija could pitch the last 2. Howry 1. Marmol or Wood 1. 90 pitches isn't a short outing. He was at 90 before this inning. It's not like Dempster is a 20 year old rookie. He should be fine.

    His season reminds me of Carl Pavano in 1998. I hope the rest of his career fares better.
  18. Guancous
    nah.... it's only 3.25 ! When I said it he had given up 4 BBs and 9 hits in 3 1/3. 3.90 WHIP :P Off-topic: Hey rawaction, did you hear the actor who played Shonuf died? I'm not sure if that's why you made him your avatar.
  19. Guancous
    8 stranded in 3 innings... that has to be one short of the record.
  20. Guancous
    I live in DC so I can't watch the game. I don't have a tv and I'm not even sure they're showing the game anyway. I read an article earlier this year saying the Nationals broadcasts were attracting 9000 people. What a waste of a beautiful stadium.
  21. Guancous
    But it's not just one game. The offense does this a lot. Unpossible --- they aren't head and shoulders ahead of the rest of the NL by doing this alot. Poop happens. They are head and shoulders above the rest of the NL because they pour it on in blowouts. If you're going to lose, lose by one with the wind blowing in. I still wouldn't trade places with any other National League team right now.
  22. Guancous
    But it's not just one game. The offense does this a lot. They've won 17 of 21 and are lapping the rest of the league. It's not like this team is pulling a '69 Cubs. Or a '04 Cubs or '07 Mets, for that matter.
  23. Guancous
    Baseball Prospectus mentioned in passing today how DeRosa was one of the best defensive 2Bs in the league. I thought that was odd but he certainly proved my instincts wrong tonight.
  24. Guancous
    I'm happy for the run but I hope the reckless abandon stays in August.
  25. Guancous
    You know you suck when Paul Bako is hitting better than you are.... I'm especially bitter because I ate off the VineLine in my youth. I remember Corey Patterson walking twice on Opening Day in 2002. I stomped around and said his jersey should read "G-O-D". I asked how cheap a flight to Cooperstown would be if I bought it 15 years in advance... yes, it was $1 pitcher night.
