The Critic Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 QUOTE(Brian @ Oct 4, 2007 -> 08:09 AM) I listened to the 9th and post game as I drifted off to sleep last night. Santo in the 9th was blasting Valverde because he was acting like a hot dog. Really Ronnie? What do you call your starter last night? Interesting that Ol' Heel Clicker would find fault in someone showing the opponents up. Oh, I forgot, that was honest, good-natured, "love of the game" s*** when he did it. I don't recall him blasting Sosa's hops, Zambrano's histrionics or Ramirez's long, loving stares at home run balls. What a hypocrite.

Steve9347 Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 QUOTE(Jenks Heat @ Oct 4, 2007 -> 09:03 AM) The arrogance of the cub franchise is simply incredible. Without a win in game 2 or 3 there is no Big Z Sunday. If Owings is going to hit he should face Hill or Lilly. Yes... this was dumb of the Cubs. Pull your ace after 85 pitches in the 6th inning of a tied game where it didn't look like the D-Backs stood a chance to hit him... because you're concerned about a game that might not even be played. Â How funny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rowandrules83 Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Oct 4, 2007 -> 08:50 AM) sort of a trivia question, i dont know if any of you would know the answer: Is this the first time that 4 teams have made the playoffs that were not in the playoffs the previous year(since the wildcard expansion)?  I cant remember if this is unique or not, the braves were in the playoffs for something like 15 straight years, so it would have been relatively recent if it ever happened  Not only the N.L., but the A.L. playoffs have 3 teams who weren't in in last year. So in total, 7 of the 8 teams did not go to the playoffs last year. That's very odd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockRaines Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 Hahaha. Cubs fans are accusing Webb of having grease on his hat. No matter that he was wiping his sweat on the brim of his cap, he OBVIOUSLY was cheating. Also they are accusing the Dbacks ground crew of softening up the dirt in front of the plate to help his ground balls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LosMediasBlancas Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 Well, since the Cubs are so worthy of being in the post season, let's see a team that had a .525 winning % during the regular season take 3 of 4 now. Actually I think the Cubs wil come back tonight, but 3 out of 4? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Ginger Kid Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 I think the second guessing of Pinella is hysterical.

Â First of all, I don't know what the hell they are talking about in regards to Webb, and I watched very closely. Second, without that dirt in front of the plate the Cubs get shut out. Also, Carlos Marmol my friends is in deep s***. The D'Backs did the same thing Florida did about a week ago, and that is expose Carlos. All he EVER does is throw early count sliders, almost never in the zone, so if you take them and get ahead in the count, he throws hittable fastballs. That led to the home run that won the game by Miguel Cabrera last week, and also the home run that won the game by Reynolds last night, uh oh. And of course, finally, the Cubs logic with Zambrano is stupid as they are now HUGE underdogs no matter what in this series because unless they plan on winning 3 in a row, they'll have to win game 5 AT Arizona with Webb pitching (good luck).
