I might switch over to this one in breaks during the football game.

Magglio would be an interesting option if he could be had cheaply. I'd prefer to throw a better prospect and hope the Tigers would throw back some cash.

My wife thought I was crazy jumping around in my living room just now. My daughter jumped around with me.

2 out!

One out!

That's not how I wanted to see Wood start off the ninth.
-
Come on, let's get some insurance and make the ninth a cake walk.

Lilly does give up his share of the long balls.

Four more innings until back-to-back NL Central titles...

This is it. First back to back playoff appearance since 1908... Come on, Cubs!

Bradley is looking for a long-term deal. Link. He's still injury prone, but while healthy this season he hit 320/437/570. Even in Texas, that's nice production. If the Cubs could get Bradley, we could pencil him into rightfield. Kosuke could play CF in a platoon with Reed, assuming Edmonds isn't brought back. Under that scenario, I'd hang on to Pie and work him into the line-up regularly, as Bradley will miss time. When Bradley doesn't play, Pie could work into CF with Fukudome sliding back to RF. This alignment also could be used late in a game for defense. Thoughts?

Where's the choice for this whole damn team?

A loss this week, and I'm having a fire sale.

Cubs to have post-season ticket lottery
vance_the_cubs_fan replied to Jon's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Also, I'm probably not going to use my Cubs tickets if I get selected for NLDS. I really want to go to the NLCS though if I get the chance. I'd probably sell NLDS for face if someone promised me one of their two NLCS if the Cubs make it that far. -
Cubs to have post-season ticket lottery
vance_the_cubs_fan replied to Jon's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
I registered for all the lotteries so I could either go or sell them to make money to buy Cubs tix if I get shut out. So far, I missed out on the Mets and Red Sox for the first round. -
Cubs to have post-season ticket lottery
vance_the_cubs_fan replied to Jon's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
You have to win the chance to buy Dodgers tickets though, same thing as with the Cubs. I got an email yesterday or the day before saying I wasn't selected. I don't think they sold out using the lottery, because I got an email telling me that tickets for NLDS and NLCS with the Dodgers go on sale at 10 AM (noon for CT) on Saturday. -
This the Marquis that is so frustrating.

This isn't going to end well. All is ok though.

I think if we clinch this weekend, there's really no need to send forfeit line-ups out every day. With a week left to play, we could give guys rest without gutting the line-up completely. Assuming we clinch this weekend with eight games left, let Ramirez have 3 games off during that stretch. Give Lee a couple of games off. Give DeRosa a couple games off, and give Soriano a couple. I'd probably only play Geo four of the eight. Our righfield and centerfield have been pretty fluid lately anyway. I'd try to let Felix play at least 3-4 of those games, give Ward and Hoffpauir a couple of starts as well. If the days off a somewhat staggered, it won't look as bad as running out a line-up that looks like- CF Pie SS Cedeno LF Hoffpauir 1b Ward 2b Fontenot 3b McGehee RF Fukudome C Hill Of course, in addition to resting some guys, we'd want to set up the playoff rotation. I'd give Marshall a start and maybe Hart.

Let's not lose again until 2009, ok?

Ha ha ha! Yes!

Howry!

I'm liking the way this game is going.
