Hey!Hey! Cubs are on their Way!

Cubs just need to stay healthy. A healthy Soriano means a lot to this team. How about the year Ryan Theriot is having. Batting around .325, higher with men on base, also playing GREAT defense. In my opinion Ryan T. is underrated, I love the way he is playing. He's the real deal and will be a top 3 ss for years to come.

Theriot is a good ballplayer and has been playing well but a top 3 SS for years, I doubt. But he's a good ballplayer and plays the game right. Love how he hits it the other way. Many player would do much better if they took his approach at the plate.

Cubs just need their big bats to be hot at the right times. Their streakiness is the main thing that concerns me. Ramirez is a beast when he's hot, but when he's not he can spin himself in circles. Lee runs hot and cold too. Soriano is streaky also. But the Cubs lineup is deeeeep. When you see (all-star starter) Soto in the 8 hole like today you know you got a good lineup.

The Cubs are going to the playoffs. Hopefully they'll be healthy too and have hot bats at the right time. They are the best team in the NL.

Sweep the brewers but cant score a run against the Pirates...Cubs are on their way for sure.

That was their worst offensive game of the year, flatter than a pancake which is the MAJOR problem with this team, the bats can go silent at any given moment, i.e. THE PLAYOFFS

Losers, please keep making threads like these so that I may bump them after the inevitable choke/collapse.

Any team would have had a drop off after that 4 game sweep up North. They were slipping a bit before the Mil series and brought it when they needed to.

Their biggest problem by far is their pen. Especially the back end.

You need to learn that the Cubs, Redsox, Yankees, and Angels are all overrated trash. And that the Japan national team would beat the living piss out of all of these teams. ESpn trys to shove these teams down our throats, but the truth of the matter is these teams suck. The only thing these teams have going for them is that they are popular which means the umpires will kiss there ass, other than that they arent worth jack squat.

Humans are pathetic little sheep. They need some hero to look up too. The key is to not be that little sheep that the international bankers want you to be. Thats is why I am about to go on a uge run, because I have clapped down and have gone back to oragnic. What does oragnaic mean? IT means a BIG FU to the USA, to the MEDIA, and to the SHEEP of this world who follow the bankers and let the goverments lies dictate there thinking.

Backend of the pen has 2 allstars (Wood and Marmol), Gaudin solid and Samadzija coming on. The biggest problem is the streakiness of their best hitters.

Allstars?

means what D?

We'll see how the back end of the pen closes games in the post season. Wood has more than a blister going on and I could hit Marmol right now.

Since the AS Break, in 8 innings over 7 games Marmol has allowed 0 runs, 1 hit and 12 strikeouts. If you could hit Marmol right now then you would be a multi-millionaire.

Last 7 games: unhittable
Today: struck out the side

But you can hit him. OK.

HisIsTheHand · Aug 1, 2008

I can't hit him. But I can strike out the side anytime against this Pitt team.

We'll see what happens against real talent in the post season soon enough.

zeeman · Aug 4, 2008

Not a bad week. 6wins 1 loss, 4-0 against Brewers. 4-0 on road, 2-1 at home. Let's keep rolling!!

Nice start to the week...lose against my Astros....LOFL

Guess they can afford to sit out their main guys for last nights game...
As bad as the Astros can be they are only 7 games back in the wild card.

zeeman · Aug 5, 2008

Last 2 times I bet the Cubbies they havn't scored a run. First they were shutout 3-0 against Pitt, now last night they lost 2-0. 17 fcken innings of no runs. I'm cursed. I will never bet on Cubbies again.

Cubs just keep reaching new heights
By Mike McGraw | Daily Herald Staff

Everyone knows the Cubs don't exactly have a stellar history.
But this year's team is starting to tread into unchartered (for the Cubs, anyway) territory.
With Wednesday's win over Pittsburgh, the Cubs moved 33 games over .500 for the first time since the final day of the 1945 season, when they were an NL-best 98-56.
That means the current Cubs have gone beyond the best records produced by the 1984 and '69 clubs, which became famous for what they didn't win.
Cubs senior adviser Billy Williams says this year's team reminds him not of the '69 Cubs, but the 1975 Oakland A's. After 16 seasons in Chicago, Williams spent his final two years with the A's.
"You look in the locker room, it's a team that's similar to what I experienced in Oakland," Williams said. "You can't tell if they're winning games or losing games. They don't get down, don't get up. If they win, they enjoy it for one day. There's 162 of them."
The '75 A's had won three straight World Series titles, but that year lost the American League championship series to Boston.
For the record, both the '69 and '84 Cubs peaked at 32 games above .500. The Cubs were 84-52 on Sept. 2, 1969, then finished the season 8-18.
