July 8, 200421 yr With the loss tonight, assuming the Cardinals hold on to their lead against the, Reds. They will fall to SIX gms behind, St. Louis. Add to that they have a 3 gm series coming up in their dreaded house of horrors, Busch stadium. If the Cards do what they normally do to the Slubs at home the only chance they might have of making the playoffs is by the wildcard.
July 8, 200421 yr Thank god.. Yet, they are still not out of it. But.... :fthecubs :fthecubs :fthecubs
July 8, 200421 yr Author If we had won the last 4 of 5 or something, this thread would be cool/funny, whatever, but we got our own problems right now if you havent noticed so I say we worry about our own s*** right now. And that's why I started this thread in the SPORTSBAR. I've already bashed the Sox plenty in Palehose talk. Now it's time to bash the, Slubs.
July 8, 200421 yr Author If there's anything that can get me through the Sox sucking, it's Cub bashing.
July 8, 200421 yr The Twins were 7.5 back at the ASB last year. One trade later, they are celebrating their 2nd consecutive AL Central title. The Cubs are in essentially the same position. They have a weaker team in front of them in the standings, but have not gotten it going yet. If the Cubs get going, the Cards are f***ed.

They have a weaker team in front of them in the standings, but have not gotten it going yet. If the Cubs get going, the Cards are f***ed. The Cardinals are weaker than last year's Royals? LOL. I don't think so. If the Cards have an 8 gm lead or better by the all-star break "which is very possible" they're in damn good shape. They're pitching has been outstanding and Matt Morris isn't even pitching as well as he can. They have without a doubt the best everyday line-up in the national league, a deep bench, a solid bullpen. Add to that they're argubly the best defensive team in the league. The Cards have a pretty high payroll. But now that they've proven they're a legit contender who's to say management doesn't go out and try and improve the team by the deadline? If they get another solid starter they could be the team to beat in the national league. However. I'm not sayin the the Slubs r dead. They have everybody back except for, Wood. But as you can see with, Prior. It's not that easy comin back from an injury and pickin right up where you left off. I don't care how talented they are. If they dig too big a hole their only chance at the playoffs will be the wild card. And that could be a dog fight.
July 8, 200421 yr We went to Miller park last night... the best part was the crying fans in the parking lot afterwards. Funny stuff.
July 8, 200421 yr Undercover Cub Fan? Sweep of the Cubs or implode on the south side... Plus we were in a suite. Never pass up a suite.
July 8, 200421 yr Who the hell are the Cubs? The post was made in the sports bar, not in the pale hose forum. If you don't like what you see, there's absolutely no need to respond to it.
July 10, 200421 yr I think the Cardinals are for real now.... Let's hope I'm right. There for real. The one thing that can happen is Chris Carpenter breaking down, since he hasn't pitched this much in a long time.
July 10, 200421 yr Author I think the Cardinals are for real now.... Let's hope I'm right. Coming into the season everybody knew the Cards had a great offense, a great defense, and a solid pen. The question was, Did they have enough pitching after, Morris? I think that question has been answered and then some. Carpenter has been their best starter. Suppan and Marquis have been very good. Woody Williams is starting to pitch like he did last year. Add to that, Morris has yet to fully pitch like he's capable. I still think that they're gonna go out and get another quality starter before the deadline just to be safe. If they do that. The nl central race is pretty much over.

The nl central race is pretty much over. If the flubs don't win the next two the division is over, imo. Being down 7 games at the break with no games left with the cards, they'd be done in the central.

July 10, 200421 yr They have no games left with the Cards after this series? I'm pretty sure, not positive. If they have any games left with them it's one series but I think they're done. I'll go look it up.
July 10, 200421 yr I'm pretty sure, not positive. If they have any games left with them it's one series but I think they're done. I'll go look it up. They have one more two game series with them the 20th and 21st of July, so they're done with them before august, so they're still in a ton of trouble if they don't win these next two.
July 10, 200421 yr Author I'm pretty sure, not positive. If they have any games left with them it's one series but I think they're done. I'll go look it up. You're right. They've only got 2 gms left with them after this series. That's kinda f***ed up. 2 division foes like the Slubs and Cards playing each other twice after the break? Well, I guess that's better for the, Cards.
