Wow. One choke after another. Those fans must just have a sickly feeling in their stomachs right now

I dont know Daa84, i think boobs are a bad comparison. I never view boobs as "just a bonus"

QUOTE(WilliamTell @ Oct 5, 2007 -> 11:42 PM) Manny with the walk off. So much for parody this year. did you intend to spell parity that way?

Has Kenny Lofton aged since his rookie year? He doesnt look any different, whatsoever. Hafner was pretty clutch right there, that was the most emotion I think i have ever seen him show

QUOTE(WilliamTell @ Oct 5, 2007 -> 04:51 PM) it's kinda sad when a Cubs thread is longer than about 10 of our White Sox game threads. Well, the season is over. The season sucked. And this one thread encompasses 2 games, so it isnt really all that bad. I bet you that most of the threads last year went beyond 24 pages

QUOTE(Kid Gleason @ Oct 3, 2007 -> 07:53 PM) According to my Cub fan friends, he was forgiven a LONG time ago. According to them, only psycho Cub fans, the media, and Sox fas who enjoy flogging dead things still mention or even think about Bartman. That doesnt exclude many

QUOTE(SoxFan562004 @ Oct 5, 2007 -> 07:56 AM) i don't think I'm going out on a limb by saying we're going to see a lot of similar stories in the next year or so. I think the next big one might be a guy who dominated a notoriously dirty sport and the media for the most part has given him a free pass. Would that sport be cycling?

QUOTE(Kid Gleason @ Oct 5, 2007 -> 07:06 AM) Watched 30 Rock last night. I had only seen a clip here and there. That was a pretty darn-tooting funny show! isnt Alec Baldwin perfect in his role? you should check out some of last season, especially the episode where he has to maneuver against his gay counterpart trying to get his job.

QUOTE(knightni @ Oct 5, 2007 -> 02:47 AM) The league just rife with taunting imitators. Psst. It's "parity". LOL, i was going to say something similar but you beat me to it

i dont know if i am the only one that noticed this, but i have noticed a very big population of Cubs fans who just expected the World Series for the Cubs as soon as they made the playoffs. No Divisional Series, No Championship series, pass Go and head straight to the World Series. I had a couple co-workers bragging about going to the World Series, and all i could think about when the Sox made the playoffs was "One game at a time.". to tell you the truth, it kind of seems like the team bought into that mindset as well, because they look like they are going through the motions (Aramis "Rodrigo" Ramirez anyone?)

LOL, sometimes Steve Rosenblooms nails it on his blog The Choice (and remember, death is not an option): The Cubs trying to lay down sacrifice bunts or Alfonso Soriano trying to hit curveballs?

QUOTE(Jordan4life_2007 @ Oct 5, 2007 -> 01:07 AM) No surprise tonight. The Cubs just aren't that good. They were the tallest midget in a horrific division. Everybody knew (except fathom) that they would be exposed. And are the D-backs fun to watch or what? Their farm system has come through quite well for them the last few years. Well, maybe everyone on this site. The ESPN "experts" all fell in line picking the cubs outside of two of them http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/playoffs2007...s?series=chcari but more SI "experts" picked the D-backs than picked the Cubs http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/si_blogs/...taff-picks.html

Sorianos pitch selection is .........special.

What happened to the site?

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

Aramis Ramirez looked to me like he tried to jack an opposite field shot everytime he was up to bat.

over/under on how many pitches Soriano sees throughout the entire game?

Brandon Webbs stuff is filthy

QUOTE(Greg The Bull Luzinski @ Oct 3, 2007 -> 08:47 PM) That's Gold I love how Soxtalk is decked out in anit-cub propaganda this time of year. It reminds me of Christmas. You could probably add Derek Lee and Miguel Cabrera to your list of those who have pwned the cubs in the playoffs, Greg

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Oct 2, 2007 -> 10:29 AM) If that happened to the yankees or BoSox there would maybe even be an appeal and trial. With the Pads, meh. also, the play wasnt the end of the inning. the Rockies would have had a runner in scoring position still(helton advanced to second) with one out. Had it been 2 outs, game tied, I think there would be more controversy on this call. That doesnt make it right, but thats how I see it

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Oct 3, 2007 -> 08:52 AM) ??? Now I know I'm getting old. I dont know what this is either Kap. Maybe its an i-pod controlled bulldozer

the first thing Andruw needs to address is his Bartolo Colon-like growing waist. If he can avoid the buffet line over the winter, he can probably get back to where he was offensively, or at least close to it. Defensively, he isnt going to regain that step he used to have, father time took that away. But he can still be a good CF, just not elite like he once was

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Oct 3, 2007 -> 08:39 AM) I didn't watch it but I just can't see any way how that show would be good. Thats because there is no way it can be funny. They were even pimping the show on Dancing with the Stars, and it wasnt funny then either. And the creators of the show tried to say it wasnt about racism as well. right

QUOTE(Buehrle>Wood @ Oct 2, 2007 -> 07:11 PM) Cavemen is awesome. Hahaha....no Far from it
