We have 18 more outs, calm down buddy.  Also, who gives a s*** about the Cubs.

 

I do, I hate those f***ers. Trust me, if they go on to sweep the Marlins this wknd, all you'll hear for the next 3 days in the local media is how much of a genius Dusty/Hendry is because they sent down Patterson, and rejuvenated the team. If you combine that with the Sox getting swept, and the Twins winning the next two games....it definitely won't be the best of times. Again, this is just a scenario I hoped I wouldn't have to see, and I'm not saying the result of any of these games are final.

Who cares what the media thinks and who cares about the Cubs. On a sidenote is Eric Byrnes the Aaron Rowand of the west or what?? They play very similar imo.

You obviously don't work with Cubs fans, do you?

Well not now. But I live in the Northern suburbs so trust me I deal with them all the time. I just could care less about them. It just doesn't matter to me, let them talk, the sox will do their talking on the field.

I know this is easier said than done, but these guys have to look for the fastball and let it fly. If they are worried about the curve than they have no chance

I've never heard that before. You should send that one to Hawk! :lol:

Anyone ever notice how many balls Rowand fouls off over the first base dugout? I know his stroke is to the opposite field, but he's just not getting the bat head through the zone. He had so many doubles down the LF line last year.

Our hitters do an awful job at protecting with two strikes. Even if the pitch is a little inside/outside, you have to foul off tough pitches in order to keep the AB alive. You can't rely on the umpire to bail you out on close pitches all the time.
