Well said.

Lefty on the mound.

Great job guys, it really seems like Bmac understand what he has to do out there. In my best hawk voice, I LOVE BMAC.

Against a lefty I'd like to see Pauly and Carl switched but maybe ozzie is doing this because pauly is in a slump, otherwise looks good to me.

I agree with you, I'm perfectly fine throwing Garcia and Buehrle out there in games 1 and 2 if we get to the playoffs, however I have no confidence in either Garland or Loaiza to do a good job in a game 3 type of situation. I hope kenny is looking at Benson, it's been said that they found a flaw in his mechanics and since then his era is around 2.5 he'd be a nice arm to have, imo. Also in the playoffs unless we're facing the rangers it is very, very doubtful the sox put up 5 runs.

Wite, I actually think a lot of people predicted the injuries to their pitching staff. Obviously no one predicted the sammy sneeze but look what happens when you do steroids. Anyways, nobody thought the cards would be this good and I definitely thought the cubs were a better team but I also the thought the astros were better then the flubs. However my point was that some people were making them out to be a lock because they're talented but they don't have a leadoff hitter and they have no closer, which right now is making them have basically no good relievers because Hawkins sucks as a closer. I actually told a lot of my friends that their offense reminded me a ton of last years sox offense at the start which would hurt them a lot, all right handed power with no true leadoff man. Basically the point I was making is talent isn't everything and every sox fan should know that. I just thought and think their offense is constructed poorly which is going to put them through those prolounged slumps and with borowski pitching poorly to start and then going down their bullpen becomes a complete liability.

Yeah, I definitely don't want Matt Morris he's looked awful this year, I think he's already given up 27 homeruns this year, it'd be scary to think how many he'd give up at the cell. I agree with you about Pedro. I think odalis would come cheaper then Pavano but I could be wrong about that, either way I'd like the sox to make a serious run at either one of them.

That's exactly what my lineup would look like.

Ah boy. Time to pick on the new guy. Comparing Damaso to koch is absolutely ludicrous, you can have a blown save by giving up a run in the 7th or 8th, even if you come in with inherited runners. Damaso is the best lefty reliever in the american league so please don't ever compare him to botch.

Yeah, your right that can't be good.

That is one long ass name and willie had a good game today, so........

I'm not an Illinois fan either, in fact besides unc I hate them more then any other program.

Dan, I think you learned a very important lesson in life, NEVER trust espn.

The point is :fthecubs

Jordan, I'm not sure if this is the thread your looking for but if anything it makes me and you look good. Another old thread about the flubs

Brando seemed so convinced that the flubs were going to win the world series.

Fair enough.

I was going to mention that but I decided not to. Honestly though, great article it's nice to read those kind of articles.

Well I agree with that if your going by national championships but right now Duke is THE elite program in college basketball without a doubt.

Lets just all agree that Duke is the mecca of college basketball.

It's spelled Giovany. Some panel. :headshake Good job guys, a very interesting read.

Yeah, when the mariners said they'd take reed instead of crede that's when kenny jumped at the deal. I wish Miguel the best and I really, really hope he suceeds.

HAHA, good stuff shuf. And don't lie everyone knows your the one who coughed up the money for this sign.
