QUOTE (fathom @ Oct 1, 2008 -> 07:20 PM) Dempster's been the Cubs best pitcher this season, and it's not even close. This. Gwynn ripping the fans lack of energy tonight. I like it.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Oct 1, 2008 -> 07:09 PM) hee hee - i have tickets to sunday's dodger game (if necessary) -- i'm thinking it won't be. Don't jinx anything. I'm keeping my mouth shut and when/if the Cubs are eliminated, I will have plenty of texts, e-mails, and calls to send/make.

QUOTE (fathom @ Oct 1, 2008 -> 08:01 PM) I really don't like Wade being in. Lowe seemed to be fine, and he had been successful vs Soriano. Joe Torre > You Great fans at Wrigley. Just boo everyone.

QUOTE (Brian @ Oct 1, 2008 -> 06:52 PM) Lou has Samardjia ready but leaving Marshall in to face Manny. Hmmm Thanks, Lou.

Lou has Samardjia ready but leaving Marshall in to face Manny. Hmmm

Lowe is good/decent, but with his sinker, I have no clue how he hasn't been great. I remember his 21 win season, but he hasn't been all that consistent, has he?

QUOTE (fathom @ Oct 1, 2008 -> 06:35 PM) It would be nice to get Manny to the plate this inning. Anyone up? Marshall vs. Manny would be epic!!!

QUOTE (kyyle23 @ Oct 1, 2008 -> 06:28 PM) How many DPs has Lee grounded into this year? Jeez That was #28. Wow!

And now all the armchair managers ask why no Z in Game 1. Ha Ha.

I hate DeRoidsa

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Oct 1, 2008 -> 06:25 PM) Atlanta has had some pretty awful crowds over the year True, but for a playoff game where you maybe the favorite to win it all, show some energy. Listening to Sutcliffe on the way to work here was insufferable. "This place gets more beautiful everytime I come here." Drool, drool.

QUOTE (sf_soxfan @ Oct 1, 2008 -> 06:13 PM) the Insufferable Ron Santo...brutal You don't like informative input like, "Oh Yeah!" Or "Aw, Jesus" or even the intelligent, "Come on, you just can't do that!"

ARam for #2 spot

Went to Sports Authority after the gym, just to see if they got anything in early. At 5pm, they were just putting out Sox t-shirts, so I got one for myself and my dad. Also wanted a hat but they didn't have any yet.

Manuel screwed up the 2000 playoffs. Pulled Parque when he was cruising and Sirotka. Only guys who showed up to hit were Durham and Singleton.

QUOTE (Nokona @ Oct 1, 2008 -> 04:37 PM) wrigley is dead That is what I'm saying. It's super quiet.

Already hate Frank TV. Will not watch out of spite. Doing the same impersonations only get you so far.

Game 1...Wednesday, October 1st @ 5:30pm CT Derek Lowe vs. Ryan Dempster

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Oct 1, 2008 -> 01:06 PM) You know, when it's the NL, they call it the NLDS. Weird, I know. I know, I had ALDS on my mind. Mods, please switch.

Game 1...Wednesday, October 1st @ 9pm CT Lester vs. Lackey Can my spelling be any worse? Mod, please fix Anaheim.

Game 1...Wednesday @ 2pm CT on TBS Gallardo vs. Hamels

Gotta love rotoworld. Ha Ha

Exactly, Kalapse. Morneau has been bad the past few weeks when a player is suppose to earn the award. Dye has had a nice 3 games. I would put him up there now.

Went to a bunch of stores for a shirt and hat and nobody up here is getting anything until tomorrow (Thurs). Bogus.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Oct 1, 2008 -> 10:08 AM) I made one awhile ago that got most of the interested guys in this thread in it. I'd join yours too, but no chance in hell I dedicate a Sunday night to a computer on a day the Sox will be playing a playoff game and the Bears play. Wasn't sure if one was started. No sweat though. I'll delete it.
