the fact that steinbrenner stayed the entire game and even an hour after the game and didnt say a word to reporters speaks a ton...
the new york post cover is very basic but oh so embaressing for the players and coaches. the daily news cover flatout stinks.

McGrady laughs at them.
Yeah, Weaver has just been dynamite. I've been saying all year I thought he'd turn it around after his rough start because I saw this kid pitch in Detroit and many of his outings were just electric. Colby is an amazing pitching coach.. he truly brings out the best in his guys.
I knew that Dreifort just couldn't be the man, he just doesn't have the fortitude or something. When it's on the line and he's the man, he buckles. Yhency Brazoban however will be our go-to guy for years to come. It would have been nice to have him coming in during the 7th, and Mota in the 8th (talk about an unhittable 1-2-3 punch), but we'll take what we can.
I still hate the fact we traded Murphy though.. he and Edwin Jackson as well as a few of our other young studs at AAA could have been a foundation for the future when guys like Nomo, Alvarez, Lima, etc. have retired. And dont get me started on trading for Choi.

Finally bought a new PSP, but then pushed the demon onto someone else. Jesus.
Scoring 6 times in an inning twice has to be some kind of record.
Ok, thirty game season left, this damn Cubs "team" better start playing to their potential. If this Cubs "team" does not make the playoffs this year, make no mistake about it, its a bigger choke job than the bartman ball of last year. Last years team wasn't supposed to do shiat, and almost made the world series. This years team was predicted to make the World Series (Along with the Stros being another strong favorite), and now one of the two teams - maybe both- are gonna have insanely disappointing season by not making the playoffs! Lets go Cubbies! It's time to dominate!

I bet if you took Reds pitching away from Lance Berkman and looked at his stats he'd only be hitting about .275 through his career.

LeBron loves his girlfriend. There is no other woman in the world hed rather have. The problem is, Dwyanes not a woman.
Kent Grand Slam! 9-3 Stros......That Cubs series lit a fire under this teams ass 
edit- Roy O left with a sore ribcage muscle....ughhh please be nothing...this isnt fair

Reds can never pieice anything together. For years the starters were awful and they had one of the best bullpens. Now they've got a few descent young starters and some in the minors and the bullpen is complete trash.
Not to mention all the injuries that occur every day. Finally thought we'd see the best young outfield in baseball in Dunn, Kearns, Pena after Kearns came back from the DL and now Pena hurt his wrist then his ribs by banging into the wall...sigh.

Awww, how cute. Look at the Stros fans getting all excited about potentially winning the wild card. You need to simmer down, or you're going to be greatly disappointed. I've been saying for months that as of September 1 its officially go time and that is when the Cubs kick it up a notch. Stros can keep on winning but its in vain, as they aren't going to catch the Cubs. I don't know why you won't believe me!
The positive side of the Stros being in it is keeping this thread alive since it is dominated by Stros/Cubs fans (But wtf is MY POSSE they have abandoned me!). I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I just want to help out my Stros buddies by helping to keep realistic expectations in check!

It ain't over 'til it's over.
more optimism: it cant get any worse than it is now for the yanks. tonight starts the mass execution of the rest of the AL. this team will finally awaken.
awaken from what? they had a 10.5 game lead and now it's 3.5 they had the best record in baseball at one point and now...... not. so please explain what exactly aer they gonna wake up from? vazques is gonna stop giving up gopher balls all of a sudden? it was one game and it was bad, but dont blind yourself.
the team has yet to realize its potential. the only reason they had a 10.5 game lead was because the red sox were playing .500 baseball for 3 months. starting pitching hasnt done ANYTHING useful all year (outside of el duque) and the hitting, while among the top of the majors could still be better.

edit: what i shoudl ahev really said was that this:
the offense has been carrying them all year and i dont believe for a second that they are gonna "turn it on" all of a sudden. it's ther pitching, not the hitting.
