Has the tv crew mentioned why Ryan Wagner hasn't pitched? He's the reds best reliever and I dont' remember seeing him pitch at all this series.

I guess that's better than Bonds * for increasing 7 hat sizes.

Was Nomar trying to bunt for a base hit?

BLOW ME JOE! Put the asterisk on Sisler, that pussy only had to play 154 games. ICHIRO=ENDURANCE!
We had control of our own destiny and lost 5 of 7 to the mets and cincinnati. Suck it down whiney bitchy cubs players. If you put as much effort into playing the game as you did complaining we would have won the wild card. Alou making the final out is almost icing on the cake.
Another one run loss to pour the salt into it as well. We are now something like 15-45 in one run games. I'm not watching the game live but on ESPN gamecast so I hope the team is getting booed the hell out of the stadium with this pitiful effort.

Heh, many Cubs fans are not a fan of many of the characters on this team. I mean, you got some cool cats like Wood, Prior, Maddux, Zambrano, Ramirez, Nomar, Lee, etc. But there are a ton of crybabies on this team too. Many Cubs fans do not like most of this team. And honestly it would be very weird if this unlikeable team was the one that actually won a world series for the cubs organization.
Keep the starting pitching staff healthy. Drop Clement, put Rusch in as 5th starter. Get a closer. Dump Alou and Sosa (We won't dump Sosa though his contract isn't up till 2006 and no one will pay 17 mil for him...), grab another starting outfielder (Beltran????
), resign Nomar and we'll be set to turn the world on fire next year.

he was told to. Haha, Steve is snappy. When asked about the decision for Remlinger facing Dunn, Dusty says "I liked Remlinger facing Dunn. He's been pitching very well. I like him much better than Farnsworth in that situation". Steve replies, "Yeah, Dunn 6 for 7 against Remlinger, 1 for 9 against Farnsworth" really quick.

The one positive I can take in this year (Even though it isn't over yet but it is damn close) is that Prior seems to be back to his dominant form.
670 TheScore is gonna be hoppin' tonight! The afterfall of this collapse is almost more fun than seeing them win.
It's weird. Last year I was practically living and dieing with every game towards the end. I really wanted to see this team make the postseason. I think part of the fun was seeing the team rise from the grave, so to speak, to make the playoffs. This year many of them had a very cocky attitude and it pissed me off. So I'm not even that disheartened when they lose. Don't get me wrong, I would rather see them win but at the same time win they lose it doesn't really irritate me like I thought it would.

what a crock of shit!!! This is by far the biggest dissappointment for this year. I remember before the season I was told that most sportscasters were picking the Cubs to go back to October and have a better chance of taking it all. The Cubs fucked it up...plain and simple!!!!
As for my teams that I'm picking for October...I would like to see the Dodgers and Sox make it to the end.

Did they put an * on Bonds HR record? Or McGuire?Joe said:
Baseball dropped the whole * thing a while ago. All other major sports go on 'what is done in a season' No matter if it is more or less games. Imagine if the NFL had the whole * thing.
* = season based on 10 games
** = season based on 12 games
*** = seaon based on 14 games
**** = season based on 16 games
it is stupid.

McGuire beat the babe's and maris' record in the same amount of games as they used to play. But yes, the * is kinda stupid.
:lol :lol :lol the postgame was great. Stone IS the fucking man. No doubts about it.
"Dusty, what were you thinking pitching to Valentin? The next batter hadn't hit it out of the infield all d-"
"Those are MY decisions to make."
...and that was all he said.
Dusty was so pissed :lol :lol
FSN Chicago is replaying the game...I'm gonna watch the postgame again because it was so good.

So, did anyone catch the exact moment when Tanyon Sturtze was replaced by a clone who knew how to throw a baseball?
It makes no sense.. at all.

So it comes to this, a final showdown with Oakland. Whatever the outcome, it's been a great season for the Angels. If they make it to the playoffs, fantastic. If they don't, then they've given it their all with so many injuries, and that's damn good too.
I would love to see a Dodgers/Angels World Series though.

The Yankees win! Broke the '61 team record too with the winning bottom of the 9th home run! 241 and going.
Tanyon Sturtze reliable? Who would have thunk that! When Tanyon was brought in the past, you rolled your eyes and waited for the inevitable meltdown. He's a whole different pitcher now. Shocking reversal.

wooooo, almost postgame time again =)
I'll post all the great comments by Stoney.
what a fucking crock, fuck you FSN. I don't want to see Kellerman's shittyass second-rate show. They cut out the postgame. fucking laaaaaaame. fuck, that is so disappointing.
giants up 4-1

this sounds like the right plan for next year. Good thing is this team SHOULD be competitive for many years to come. Wood, Prior, Zambrano is a fearsome trio. Jim Hendry seems to be doing everything and anything to get it done. I realize a lot of you guys may not like the Cubs this year, but hating the whole franchise and cheering for a Cubs choke is just stupid. I can't stand that. Given though, everything said of this year's team is well deserved.
I think next year Corey Patterson needs to play consistent, insert Todd Hollandsworth into a starting role unless you find someone in free agency like Beltran. I can't see Sosa leaving but he does play hard and isn't what is ruining this team. We need to resign Michael Barret and Nomar if possible. His stay turned sour though, not sure if he wants to be here or not. This team is just missing the character guys of last year. Eric Karros, Kenny Lofton, etc.
If we keep our starters healthy though I can see Prior and Wood having much better seasons next year and Zambrano getting a lot better which is scary. We need to add an offensive chemistry, plain and simple. Another guy who could hang with Aramis in clutch hitting and big runs. Right now we just don't have that. Maybe a healthy Nomar could fill the role but then we need another base setter. I dunno, we got the talent, but this team this year just won't be getting it done.
ok, i'm a balls out sox fan...but here's my input:
ditch chip and keep steve the fucking man stone.
patterson is good and will be better, but is not a lead off man. you guys need some speed bad. lee is good, but not a real number 2 hitter. great 1b, just move him down in the line-up. nomar is a good SS, if you can resign him...just fear the injuries. alou and sosa should both be gone. alou had a good year, but he is just more trouble than it's worth. i'd not resign him. sosa, you probably don't have much of a choice...just keep him down in the order and make sure he stops his retarded hop. a-ram is the fucking man, and should be there a looooong time if hendry is smart. make him clean-up. guy is awesome. bako is an ok back-up, though barett should be resigned. macias and goodwin are expendable. walker is a good player, off the bench or starting. Grudz is a class act too, keep him around.
as far as pitching...hawkins is a setup man at best. never never ever ever a closer. dempster can be moved to a setup man, but you need to get an experienced closer. remlinger and leiscester are good for middle/late relief. the farns has to go. wellemeyer is meh, so is borowski. doesn't really matter there. prior, wood, zambrano, rusch...all back. clement should be gone(and join the southside...garcia/buehlre/clement/contreras/garland = omg). find another number 5, unles maddux comes back again.
my main concern would be some speed before the ultra-power line-up you guys have. SS will be a huge gap if Nomah leaves.
...fuck thats a long post
