Bull

I'm fast :lol: :lol: :lol: keep it up...we're winning. BTW, most Cubs fans are very superstitious about these things. Perhaps we'll bring you on as our official lineups guy if we win today. How 'bout it mods?

didin't a cards fan post the official line-ups last game too? What's up?

That just might be the best lineup we've put out this year. That's because dusty's been resting the good players all year. Now that the games are important, he puts out the best lineup. :roll:

Curse you for making me think positive! i know. they are sucking me back in again. i cannot kick myself of this habit! May the fleas of a thousand camel infest your armpits for eternity. Thanks, Klinger. I'm assuming that's a "MASH" referece. A little before my time. I actually learned that curse on a study abroad trip in the middle east.

He was on today. 0fer4 with a K.

I have the blues brothers version of "Sweet home Chicago" in my radio now.

Yep, the end of this lost season is far more important than the rest of Wood's career. especially if he's throwing "wicked sliders". That's gotta be good for the shoulder. They were certainly "wicked." He looked extremely nasty. Which is the exact reason the Cubs need him to get healthy and return to the rotation. That's my point. If he's still trying to throw that pitch with a "frayed labrum" he's crazy. Just because its only one inning doesn't mean that he can throw whatever he wants out there. You couldn't be more right. Now all we have to do is convince him, rothschild, baker and hendry. *sigh*

But its a save opportunity now right? Nope, you can't create your own save situation. He didn't, burnitz did. :wink:

I hate this!! I'm starting to care about Cubs baseball again. (even if it is just who gets HBP)

two outs, none on. Now you bean.

Is he throwing the slurve again?

First pitch strikes to all five batters. So important.

Pitch 1 - Called Strike Pitch 1 - Called Strike Pitch 1 - Foul Pitch 1 - Swinging Strike First pitch strikes are good.

Nope. Dempster hasn't lost the job and Woody hasn't shown enough to take it yet. Ask me again in two weeks.

They don't usually add to their lead before a loss though. Always looking for new ways to lose.

Way to be, LEE!

I liked your Conan baseball head better. :( Nothing can last forever... Woo! The Danimal is in the radio booth. As in yogurt? I can't say yogurt without laughing... A couple days ago, a single father (weightlifter...ahem) comes to the office next to mine to visit the single mother who works there. He's asking advice on raising his daughter. The daughter has a female rash. THe singlemother suggests giving her yogurt. The guy responds with (in best jock voice).."you want me to put yogurt down there?!?" I can't say yogurt without laughing...

Pull him.

I respectfully disagree. Are you going to refute anything I say or are you just disagreeing? What do you want me to say? I like you guys over here, and have been posting here for a long time. I don't see any reason to kick someone when they're down, you guys are struggling and that's painful enough. I just think it's a little far fetched to start talking post season when you've won 1 game after losing 8 straight. If you look at the original post there are 8 things listed that all have to happen for the Cubs to have a chance. It's a pretty small chance but it's still a chance. Pie in the sky optimism would be to say the Cubs are in the driver's seat or even to say "I like our chances". It's not very likely and I don't see where anyone is saying they are confident of a playoff birth. At the same time, you of all people should know that strange things happen in baseball. Your team was given up for dead last season and came back to win the WC. Heck, your team was given up for dead this season and leads the WC. Then again, you came here more or less stating that you didn't believe your team could do it last year, saying something to the effect of "Thanks for getting our hopes up" after the ill fated (for Cubs' fans) series. As virtually the only Astros fan that posts here your thoughts on that particular subject stand out. At the time I would have agreed with you that the Astros didn't have much of a chance. I don't believe the combination of things that need to happen will. I certainly hope that we're both wrong again. So what you're saying is that those 8 things are a formula not for the definite, or even for the likely, but for the unthinkable. I get it now! ...*glances at thread title* :wink: [/b]
