well at least starting sunday we can begin watching the bears, who will undoubtedly have many horrible losses. remember when they were beating the saints 21-0 and lost? there's some of those on the way.


:(

Bad memeories. That game ruined their season! They were 2-0, off thier 13-3 year, and then collapsed and everything went downhill from there.

But the Bears are back I say! We'll smoke the Lions on sunday guaranteed.

I can't give up hope yet though! Cubs still clinging to the wild card lead!

But this was transcribed in the holy scriptures of Dustiny. On the dayeth the Asstros are ateth their highest point thy Cubs shall beyeth at their lowest, from the ashes shall rise and take back which is rightfully theirs: the wild card title.

You guys need to get Tivo or a tv capture card for your pc. Then the hardest part is not listening to the radio, reading newspaper, etc so you don't hear the score before you watch it.

I think I've watched every Marlins game this season, a first in a very long time. Well, I can't watch the games they don't televise. :(

And the Marlins have no off days left, none. They also have 3 double headers in 10 days. It will definitely be a tough month!

I always follow afternoon games on the MLB Gametracker on my laptop while in class. It has a feature where you can chat during the game. Let me tell you, there are some weird dudes following afternoon baseball on Gametracker.

Don't worry though, the premier pitching matchup today is on ESPN when Pedro goes against Hudson.

4 Homeruns in the bottom of the 1st inning.

The Astros are insane.

Edit: I keep saying insane over and over... I need a new word.

Bottom of the first stros are down 1-0..


Biggio comes up hits a HR.
Bags hits a HR.
Berkman hits a HR.
Lamb hits a 2-run HR.


5-1 Stros....good god.

The Devil Rays claim they could not reach New York on time due to Hurricane Frances. We do not consider that excuse sufficient.

The infamous Hurricane of 1938 that struck New York and New England killed 700 people, left 63,000 homeless and registered winds as high as 120 miles at the Empire State Building. But it didn't postpone the Yankees game or stop Lou Gehrig's playing streak. Granted, the Yankees were playing in Chicago that day, but the point remains: A hurricane wasn't enough to stop Gehrig and the Yankees then, and it isn't a sufficient excuse to postpone a Yankees game now.

Nothing too wrong with David Weathers. He's a pure bullpen guy that won't be seen in critical out situations.

BTW, Weathers is an original Marlin as is Conine.

Looks like the Marlins are keeping pace with the Astros. Marlins win again, 9 straight!

goddamit, Griese!
a five hit complete game shutout from a pitcher with a 2-5 record, 7.20 ERA, and who never went more than 7 innings.


:lol :lol :lol :lol nice hitting cubbies

Btw since the Astros are now ahead of the Cubs in the wildcard....hopefully Cubsdouche will stay away for another week.

Fucking ridiculous. What a joke. We lose 2 of 3 in a series we HAD to win 2 of 3, if not sweep.

Tonight the team doesn't even show up in a must win game against a weak team AT HOME. What a pathetic team.

Pisses me off how this team is playing. But I'm not surprised. They've been like this all year. Thinking by just showing up they would win. This is the most talented bunch of losers I've ever watched play a year of baseball. With all the extra off field crap this has also been the most frustrating winning team I've ever seen. I blame Dusty Baker for this season. He never took control of this team with all that extra shit going on (With the team bitching about the announcers, all the damn bean balls, the arguments with the umps getting suspension). In a way, he has encouraged this team to stay focused on all this extra off field shit instead of concentrating on playing their damn games. I'm gonna be pissed that a team this talented may choke away the best chance we've ever had to win a world series, but a part of me is going to be smiling knowing that a bunch of egotistical assholes which comprise this team couldn't put away all that extra shit to get the job done.

dude, holy shit....much respect for that. i know a lot of people who can't begin to admit the team has a bunch of crybabies. Props.



Also, I love how Stone and Caray haven't changed anything in their announcing style. When Alou AGAIN took off to third on contact, with NO outs, and it was an easy fly ball that turned into a double play thanks to dumbass Alou, I loved Stoney's comment.
"Well, there's a dandy piece of base running."

and then in the 8th inning: "In all honesty, the Cubs have just been terrible tonight."

and when Remlinger gave up the homer: "Remlinger still can't get any left handers out."


Steve Stone is the man. Also the smartest announcer I've ever heard...but I've been saying that for a while.

What a freefall in Chicago. You know how much pressure is on the players from now until the end of the season, it's all they're going to hear about.

You should hear the fucking boos from the fans at Wrigley. I've never, ever heard booing like that before, in all my years watching the Cubs. EVERYONE is getting booed. It's no just Sosa anymore. Hell, they booed Lee today. WTF is that?

They still have 26 games left to change things. But after playing 136 games without being focused because of all this extra BS I'm not expecting things to change now.

ah, that time when you begin to seriously doubt your team's chances. I was there shortly after the all-star break. I know your pain.

One pitcher does not a world series team make. Otherwise the Dbacks would be shoe-ins.


Also, BoSox rocked Mulder today. Only 2 back now...

that'd be something if both the stros win the wildcard and red sox win the division. WHO'DA THUNK IT

Damn the Dodgers offense sucks bad, they need to get their shit together. I seriously expect another 3 game sweep by the Cards this weekend. We should be stomping the shit out the D-Backs but instead were barely squeaking by. GARRRRRRRRRRRRR!
