I think Theriot is over-rated, big time. Last year, everyone was getting on their knees for him when his average was .330, and everyone wanted to kill him when he fell under .280 and finished under .300. This year, his downfall hasn't started yet, but it will soon.

I met Swisher in Schaumberg today and he says he's hitting 5 HR today. Such a cool guy.

QUOTE (almagest @ Jun 6, 2008 -> 11:28 PM) Oh boy, some local garbage ska/punk band covered "Go Cubs Go." I didn't think it was possible for that song to get any worse, but I guess people can accomplish anything when they put their minds to it. Also, Hiroki Kuroda is pretty damn good. 3-0 Dodgers top 7. The way Saito pitches vs the Cubs, count on extra innings.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jun 6, 2008 -> 09:34 PM) It's not whether we hit him well or not. I just hate him and his antics and don't want him to show up my team. True. I hate him as much as the next guy, but I'd love to see him pitch against us, we rock him in like 2 innings, he can't throw a strike, and then the fans mock him, and he has another hissy fit. I would laugh so hard...

I love missing Z also, but don't we hit him well. I bet his ERA is 3.7 at the least. I know we put up 7 against him last year after AJ's granny at Wrigley, and I could have swore we scored 11 runs in a game he pitched 2 or 3 years back. Anybody have his stats against us lifetime?

Looking at the probables pitchers for both teams on both websites, the pitching matchups will be this, followed by my predictions. Danks vs Marquis SOX 7-5 Contreras vs Lilly CUBS 4-3 Vazquez vs Dumpster SOX 5-3 Contreras vs Lilly SOX 10-7 Vazquez vs Dumpster SOX 3-1 Buehrle vs Gallagher CUBS 11-8 Your turn (don't make a smarta** post, it's just a little fun).

QUOTE (OilCan @ Jun 6, 2008 -> 09:12 PM) Um....WSB....I think Q reads this board, based on his stats tonight. Boy, am I glad I was wrong.

ANDDDD 6 over the Tribe, 9.5 over the overpaid Tigers, and 10 over the horrid Royals. IF we sweep these guys, huge IF, we could inevitably win 16 straight games, as we then go to Detroit, and come home for a bad Pirates team and a bad Rockies team. I know, 16 in a row is almost impossible, but I'd even take 13 or 14 wins during the stretch I just mentioned.

Looked like 35K for the attendance, apparently it was only 25K.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jun 6, 2008 -> 09:56 PM) The Red Roof Inn one is so bad that I like it. Same. Remember that stupid "wazzzzzzzzzuuuuuuuupppppppp" commercial? Everyone thought it was so cool that people made shirts for it. I happened to think it was the most stupid, most annoying, most life-wasting commercial I have ever seen.

WHAT A GRAB!

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jun 6, 2008 -> 08:50 PM) I know that. It was a comparison of the 2 worst CSN commercials of all time. Oh. Well, next time say so. When one guy talks about Bob, then you quote him and say 2 commercial lines, it makes it look like you think both were quotes from good ol Bob.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jun 6, 2008 -> 08:49 PM) "Here we go with another ho ho." or "The chances of that are....remote." That wasn't him, that was a Red Roof Inn commercial.

QUOTE (Controlled Chaos @ Jun 6, 2008 -> 08:46 PM) I got the tad...just have no idea why you're looking for the "perfect" game, but it's cool. Isn't it nice being able to just lay back and enjoy the show our offense has been putting on? I've been looking for a 12-0 type win all year, and finally we get it. That's all. Plus, getting off to a start like this to a series of this importance is huge. Now, all we have to do is win 1 more and we maintain our lead.

QUOTE (Controlled Chaos @ Jun 6, 2008 -> 08:43 PM) You're a hard man to please Which is why I said "a tad better". Hint- tad.

If Javy would have pitched just a tad better, this could have been the "perfect" game I was looking for. Good in the field, at the plate, and on the mound (sort of).
