Jinx!

CHICAGO -- The Chicago Cubs announced on Monday the sale of individual game tickets for the first two games of the 2004 National League Division Series. The tickets will go on sale beginning next Monday, Oct. 4, at 9 a.m. CDT.

You think the Cub ticket office has a block on any credit card with the last name "Bartman"?

A Beltre homered to left, C Izturis, J Werth and S Finley scored.

*chants "MVP, MVP, MVP, MVP!"&

GRAND SLALALALALALALALALALALALALALALALALAM by Beltre but Edwin Jackson is horrible tonight and the game is already tied at 5-5.

 

[El Papa]

That was freaking awsome.

Now it's tied, dammit Tracy!!

 

[rc213]

LOL Estes just rocked that pitch and the ump is calling fan interference.

 

[El Papa]

Can Jim Tracy see the that Jackson is getting yacked or is he freaking blind?

HAHA, that was hilarious! Thanks Dodger Bartman reversed! Too bad for Estes!

 

[Meier]

How could Edwin Jackson go from being one of the best looking young arms at the end of last year to being utterly shit this year? Damn injury... I pray he can get back to form next year.

 

[rc213]

Slugfest!!! Down 7-5 already!!! LOL

 

[El Papa]

WTF is going on?! This isn't Coors Field!

 

[Meier]

Oh jeez, Burnitz has been killing us all year. I can feel a slam coming already. Fuck you Scott Stewart!

 

[rc213]

Bahahahahahahaha, Sean Estes shutting us down after the rocky start. =[

 

[Meier]

Greenie needs to hit a jack -- or at least get on base! We havent gotten a base hit since the 2nd inning I dont think.

Welp, he just struck out... some come on Jose!

 

[El Papa]

Bring in the Rockies gascans-, er bullpen!

 

[Meier]

Come on Milton... prove you're not a bust!

 

[El Papa]

MB Base hit! Come on Green!

 

[J2 Cool]

Damn, 4 RBI's today for Walker! Just thinking about what he did last season with the Red Sox, I say leave him in every game. Of course Dusty won't but he should. His timely hitting is much needed. 2 homeruns in his last 2 games started and 4 rbi's on 3 different hits today. Grudzielanek could never do that

 

[rc213]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! GAME BOARD SON!!!!!!!

 

[Meier]

WOOT! I had a feeling with us down 7-5 we could come back and win. Going against that Rockies pen and with the heart the Dodgers have shown in some of their come-from-behind wins this year... it's never over!

 

[Joe]

2 WEEKS FROM THE START OF POST SEASON AND WE DONT HAVE A 4TH STARTER HOW DO YOU THINK I FEEL!?!?!?!?!?

 

[J2 Cool]

2 WEEKS FROM THE START OF POST SEASON AND WE DONT HAVE A 4TH STARTER HOW DO YOU THINK I FEEL!?!?!?!?!?

[El Papa]

Kevin Kennedy called it and so am I, not a real big leap though

IT'S BEEN 13 FREAKING YEARS!!!!

 

[Joe]

steinbrenner: i'll take a carl pavano and a matt clement and you better throw in a pedro martinez for safe measures! thanks!

 

[J2 Cool]

[Desperado]

Congrats, now take fuckin care of SF.

 

[Joe]

the more potential easy pickins in the world series for the yanks, the better.

You're gonna have enough trouble just getting there. A's, Twins, BoSox all have better pitching than you.

 

[Eminem]

ha, assuming the A's even make it...

 

[Desperado]

ha, assuming the A's even make it...

Yeah ya have a point...although texas/anaheim playing each other 4 times helps Oakland..

 

[Miguel]

Cubs 6 games left (3 vs Cin/3 vs Atl)
Astros 5 games left (2 vs StL/3 vs Col)
Giants 6 games left (3 @ SD/3 @ LA)

Cubs up 1.0 on Giants
Cubs up 1.5 on Astros
Giants up 0.5 on Astros





Corey Patterson is out tonight. Rolen is out tonight. Advantage: Astros/Giants.
Schmidt, Maddux, and Backe pitch tonight, Advantage: Giants/Cubs.

 

[Guileless]

Uh oh Joe, El Duque is a scratch tonight because of a "sore arm." Folks say hello to Jon "#2 Postseason Starter" Lieber. (and goodbye to the yanks)

 

[Joe]

eh, im not worried..

:turns face to hide watery eyes:

 

[Desperado]

Oooh we just got saved on that call at the plate...but the officiating has been bad on both sides all game anyway...

come on reds hold it together

shit 2 run patterson triple...6-2 reds

 

[Lathentar]

Looked like Beltran hit that ball a mile, but it didn't leave the park... whats up?

Bagwell with some great clutch hitting tonight.

 

[Desperado]

he hit it a mile...it hit the base of the wall at the top of the hill in DEAD center. 436' triple...it's like he's determined to hit one out to dead center [I don't think it's been done yet at MMP...]

 

[Lathentar]

Yes it has. I've seen it on TV. I believe Klesko hit one to dead center. Also, Sexson hit the top of the flag pole, which would have been a near dead center homerun. That game was just insane.

 

[Mashing]

Yeah, the one Sexson hit was one of the most powerful homerun shots I've ever seen (I'm calling it a homerun even though by rule it's not).

Astros are playing great ball tonight. Looks like they really want this game badly.

 

[Desperado]

Ok well an Astro hasn't done it yet.

 

[Mashing]

If Beltran had hit the two triples that last night in many other ballparks in the league, he'd be a 40/40 man right now.... or atleast have 39 home runs

 

[Eminem]

base hit hancock :lol :lol

8-3

 

[Lathentar]

Umm... did the Astros game just stop?

EDIT: There it goes... wow... Pujols up like that had me really tense.

 

[Eminem]

hope it was a good game to go to J2 =p

 

[Desperado]

berkman wtf....bad baserunning ahhh.

 

[Eminem]

wtf was that


couldnt even get 1. arrrg

 

[Lathentar]

If they lose they deserve it after that 8th.

 

[Eminem]

YES. STROOOOOOOOS

 

[Matrix]

WHOOOOOOO BIATCHS!!!! IT AINT OVER YET! 1/2 GAME OUT! DIE CUBS DIE!

 

[Desperado]
