I was looking for a station for the cubs game... but the MLB site charges like $3 a day

Cubs Prior vs Cinn Harang I think the Cubs will win

Giants J. Williams vs Pads A. Eaton I think the Pads might win because Jerome is coming back from injury and hasn't pitched in a ML game in 2 months.

Houston no game

damn i was so wrong. 0/2
 
I think the Cubs will have a better chance if they just use all there starters everyday. Their closers are pitiful.

They might as well bring Antonio Alfonseca back. It couldn't get any worse.

Let's all go back to my "killer instinct" remark. Getting swept by the Reds in the last week of the season. See what I mean?

I totally agree this week was pitiful...losing 5 of 6 is not going to get you to the World Series. I love my Cubbies...but they need to pull through. I had a bad feeling after last saturday's loss to the Mets...I think teh players emotions from from the playoffs surfaced. I don't remember the stats, but aren't all the "new Cubs" pulling through (besides Hawkins) with the bats?

Walker/Grudz are clutch (Walker moreso, IMHO). Lee has been clutch second half. Ramirez and Alou, clutch. Barrett, clutch for a catcher. Nomar, clutch when he's healthy. Patterson and Sosa, I don't know that I'd want them up in crunch time. (It pains me to say that, because Sosa has been one of my favorite players for years)

Nomar has been a disappointment I've heard (on ESPN). He needs to start hitting the fcking ball...

He's so damn sensitive.. jeez.. his wife (Hamm) probably wears the pants in the family. Nomar's defense stinks too.

Braves clinch homefield?? Does it matter?? Not like they are gonna go to the series or anything 😀 This mets fan will give Bobby Cox and the John Schuerholz tons of praise though.. they are miracle workers.

I agree, but I don't think they were capitizing the last few games when they had runners in scoring position. Sosa and Patterson are definitely on the bottom of the list. Maybe Walker should learn to play out in rightfield!
 
I wish Walker did have a place to play, he's a hell of a player. Can he play SS for Nomar? Nomahhh has been hitting alright, he's around .300 on the season. But damn, he swings at a lot of early pitches. I wish he would be more selective at the plate. I don't think his D stinks, but he's definitely not the Nomar of a few years ago.

Let's just hope they come out with all guns this last series! They have no excuse not to have clinched the Wild Card by now!

As much as I like Bobby V, I dont think bringing him back will help things. They should go forward not backwards.


Well... the Cubs game will start soon. What a must win game.. they HAVE to win.

well the way i see it, he seemed to be good with young players...bringing a team with the outfield of Perez, Agbayani and Payton to the World series!!

we need someone to teach Reyes, Wright how to play

oh and if he comes back, I bet Agbayani will too...he followed him to Japan if im not mistaken


gotta love Agbayani
