  1. It's a day game. >_> Day game also means that Cubs have to win, because if they lose, I'm stuck in class and won't be able to polish off the rest of my bottle of scotch as consolation.
  2. Thank Soto that Lou came to his senses, for this game at least.
  3. I was tempted to go that route in order to have the stubs, but I didn't want to risk any freak scenarios like a fed ex truck crash costing me my tickets, so i went with email. Yeah, I'm hoping no such scenario happens in my case. My dad is going to want the ticket stubs, so I went with the Fedex route. I hope they come in soon. Good luck. http://i.cnn.net/cnn/2002/US/Midwest/10/29/fedex.explosion/story.fedex.jpg

  5. So you believe that for the las hundred years, the Cubs have been getting screwed by Merkle's boner? http://blogs.chron.com/specialfeatures/archives/beavis.jpg
  6. This thread took a ridiculous turn. Soto Christ.
  7. I was planning on laying off the hard stuff that weekend, and my headache this morning has further convinced me to do so, but if Soto hasn't started by the time I sit down at Wrigley, I may have to rethink this policy. And bring a bat.
  8. That's awesome. If I had friends in the majors not playing for the Cubs, I'd be the same way.
  9. While I agree with your sentiment, the Marlins are not a terrible offensive team. Ramirez, Uggla, Hermida, and Cabrera would all be starters for the Cubs and most of the other teams in the majors. Pitching and defense are certainly important factors in winning baseball games over the long haul, but sometimes hitters can just take over a short series. Offensive teams with no pitching are also exactly the type of non-successful teams to give the Cubs trouble, considering their impeccable ability to make any pitcher look good on any given day. This is why the Reds have been a problem this year. At any rate, I came into this series thinking that the bare minimum the Cubs needed was to not get swept in either series. If they pull that off, then the Cards stealing that game looks even bigger.
  10. Especially when Hill could go on proper rest. If Lou wants to "set the playoff rotation," wouldn't it make sense to start Hill now and have him fresh when they started the postseason, rather than pitch him saturday? I'm guessing Lou is thinking that he doesn't want Hill to have too many days off before he starts. Even if Sunday's game matters and the Cubs have to throw Lilly, the earliest Hill would start would be Thursday for Game 2 and potentially wouldn't start until Saturday for Game 3 if Sunday's game doesn't matter. So if Hill goes tomorrow and then not until the next Saturday he would have 8 days rest where as if he goes this Saturday then he would go on normal rest if he had to pitch Thursday for Game 2 and 6 days rest if he pitched Game 3. Remind me to read that in the morning... :pals:
  11. Drinks on me, but I heard you were paying for the hookers. (and no tranny hookers, plz!) Plane tickets have been purchased, and I will be in chicago that weekend, regardles of wheteher or not the cobs pull off the choke job. you will most certainly see me at my finest/worst, depending on perspecitve. We are going to have to pull together a massive NSBB meet up Vance is buying drinks Mark is buying hookers I'll throw in the heroin (if the Cubs didn't make the playoffs / lose in the playoffs) We can all sleep on Seth's floor. I thought Yeti was bringing the heroin. I don't see the need to limit the quantity of heroin. The more crowded Hendry's doorstep is, the better!
  12. That would be glorious beyond description.
  13. IMO, there's only one way Peavy doesn't pitch Sunday, and that's if the Padres win 2 or all of the first 3 games in Milwaukee. I hope he doesn't have to. Either way, it's a plus for the Cubs. If the Pads drop the first two or three and fall out of contention by Sunday, you don't think it'll be more important to the pdas that they get a look at a prospect and give peavy his entitled rest than play spoiler? Well, if the Pads lose the first three and the Phils and DBacks win the next three, but I don't see that happening. Philly faces Smoltz tomorrow, and Arizona is staggering. Plus the DBacks have to play Colorado over the weekend, and the Rockies are smoking hot right now. It seems likely that either the WC or the West (possibly both) will go down to the last day. I'm pissed off and would like to stay that way. I have no interest in your "logic" or "analysis."
  14. Geovany Soto played for the Cardinals tonight. He was playing under the alias of "So Taguchi."

  17. 9-26 Cards-Brewers thread.
  18. The use of his last name might confuse him with his father. Pee Hands is much more concise.
  19. that's only if lou is as late pulling trachsel as he was pulling marqueefdouchebag.
  20. I was set pretty firmly in the "for the love of soto, PLEASE don't suck trachsel" corner sometime around game 163 of 98, but I think i agree with you nonetheless.
  21. hear hear! 3 cheers for Nediot!!
