Got the pic, thanks - It's pretty hard to see, and the only thing that really sticks out is how much I'd like to wipe that ish-eating grin off his face. With a baseball bat.

My school blocks photobucket - is there any way you could host this pic elsewhere as well? I didn't notice anything last night and am curious to see what it looked like. Thanks.

Winnars.

It didn't look too soft when Riot bounced a ground ball off the dirt in front of the plate over the 3b's head.

Just closed my windows. Screw this noise.

I was in after 20 minutes, and people were still getting in well after I had mine. iirc, there were notices popping up in the vwr when only singles were available or when it was only sro or sold out.

The name of the window will change and you will then be looking at the seat chart and be able to try to select seats. Thank you. Jesus, no cheese here. Not even the phone. I had 20 windows open for the nlds and was dialing simultaneously with two phones, and the vwr was what hit first. i don't think you have a chance with the phones.

I don't know what's different here in class than at home, but i can't open any more than one window here. Chances are about nil. :x

Game 4 looks good on paper... Webb is only 2-3 in day games and the wind is going to be howling out according to Sunday's forecast. Two things: 1) If the wind is howling out and Webb is pitching, that's a very bad thing. He's going to keep the ball down more than any pitcher the Cubs send down there, which means the Diamondbacks are going to hit more home runs than the Cubs in that scenario. 2) Thankfully, Webb is not the game 4 starter. Micah Owings is, and he is a flyball pitcher. If the wind is blowing out with Owings on the mound, that should be advantage Cubs. Until Owings comes up to hit! My thoughts exactly. -
NLDS Gm 2: Cubs (Lilly) at D'Backs (Davis) 9 PM TBS, 720
CubmanPi replied to David's topic in Fred Hornkohl Game Thread Forum
Offense would be nice. Oh, and a win too. -
Thinking of 2006 isn't helping anymore.

Post-Season Schedule set or flex?

Cubs. The WC team could only have HFA in the WS, not before. -
How much of last night do you credit to Webb?
CubmanPi replied to kente777's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
I agree, Webb was solid. Sure, there were bouts with wildness and some hard-hit balls, but I look at innings like the Z leadoff double, and none of the three who followed and K'd stood a chance in hell of getting a ball out of the infield. He was flithy for a large enough percentage of the game to get solid credit for how it came out. As far as the first pitch takes, I'm sure that patience has been getting drilled into their heads since the morning after they clinched. And Lou's idea of patience is giving the take sign on 75% of first pitches. Given the inability of many of our hitters to be selective in the pitches that follow, I'm not sure how much I like the idea, but it's all hindsight. Cubs did have runners every inning against Webb, so it's not like it went terribly. -
True, but how many times is Z right? Z: Play Murton. Lou: Nah, Monroe's really going to help us against LHP down the strech. Z: Idiot. Maybe more often than you think. :lol: nice
-
I agree that their lineup is garbage, but that garbage lineup, in 163 games, has 6 more wins and 22 more HRs than our much better lineup. EDIT - Also, when do we decide it's time to shuffle the rotation? I understand it was a late game and all last night, but still.
-
My girlfriend went to high school with Troy Tulowitsky. Had the Cubs not come back after his 3-run HR to cap that six-run 9th inning, I would have dumped her that night. Sunnyvale or Los Altos area, no? My cousin went to HS in Los Altos and mentioned him going to high school in the area when we were watching a Rockies game on TV. Sunnyvale, yea. Just for the record, I will be beyond pissed if this year's NLCS features two expansion teams. I don't really care who wins the other NLDS if the Cubs win, but if the Cubs lose, I'm pulling hard for Philly.

srsly
-
You make valid points all the way through, except for the part about that spot screaming for Wood. Marmol's on however many days of rest, so using him there is exactly why he's been so valuable this season. He was the only choice. Anyone else in that spot who had the same bad inning would have people raging pissed at Lou for not using Marmol. I personally don't think pulling Z was the right move, but if it had to be done, Marmol was the right guy in the pen to come up.
-
From cubs.com So Lou seriously pulled Z after 85 pitches because he was looking ahead to game 4? Sure he should be able to count on Marmol, but if Z's dealing and is at 85 pitches and was due up 9th on offense that inning, run him out there one more time. Sorry, I'm sure this has been hashed out plenty, but that doesn't mean it isn't still bullcrap.
-
Just got back from the bar. In a word: That game was such effing bullcrap. Our crappy offense had chances and blew it, and their crappy offense beat our best reliever after our best starter left the game on 85 pitches. I hereby reserve my inalienable right to freak the hell out. What was the deal with Zambrano anyway? Why did he have to come out? Was he having issues with the heat like those jackasses were saying on the air? On one hand, I was really pissed about it and thought it was a stupid move, but they beat Marmol. If he serves it up, there goes one of the most consistent reasons for Cub success this season and the bullpen looks a whole lot worse.
-
Alright guys, I'm losing my mind. I'm gonna head down to the bar and try to get a decent spot before the game starts. Here's to a Cubs win. Enjoy the game everyone. CUBS ARE IN THE PLAYOFFS!!!

Is it the same one they've been running since their last home game with the Silverchair song? If it's a new one, someone better youtube the hell outta that mother. Not sure if it is the same one but it is awesome. Still going. Great clips from all year long. Bad games at the beginning to the great finish. I am so pumped now! Is the song about Straight lines? What music is it set to? Has a ton of different songs. Coldplay was one of them. Coldplay blows and they make my ears bleed, but I really hope to see this on youtube.

Better than Riot. Not ideal, but I don't mind.
