fathom Posted September 28, 2007 Author Share Posted September 28, 2007 Adding insult to injury with Thatcher coming in to get Prince out. That Linebrink trade has to be one of the dumbest trades in history. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted September 28, 2007 Author Share Posted September 28, 2007 Brewers aren't going to win tonight. It's amazing how the division was theirs for the taking over the last week, and they played some of their worst ball of the year. Someone needs to tell their coaching staff that playing not to lose is what caused them to lose. Way too many bunts and playing the infield back. When you're facing a team with a great bullpen, it's idiotic to give up cheap runs in order to avoid the big inning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LosMediasBlancas Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 Go ahead and call me a Cub hater, but I won't respect whatever team 'wins' that division. The sad part is that the NL is so weak overall that the winner of NL Central might f*** around and make it to the WS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sure has shut up the Cubs bandwagon....but they'll be back in full force on October 3rd. I have no idea who I want to see them play now in the NLDS.

whitesoxfan101 Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 (edited) I said on Tuesday morning the Cubs have it locked up because they could lose out and Milwaukee still wouldn't catch them, and it turns out I might be right. The good news is with how well some other NL teams are playing, the Cubs postseason stay might be very short.

Philadelphia would absolutely kick their ass, so that is my hope. I honestly don't see them beating anybody in the first round though, because although they matchup best with Colorado IMO, the Rockies have won 10 or 11 in a row. The decision by Pinella to say Kendall is his catcher in the playoffs will kill them, every single is now a double with him back there.

Gregory Pratt Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 26, 2007 -> 09:57 PM) Many people have suggested we should sign him to play LF next year. He's one of those guys that shockingly lost a lot of his power. You know who has very funny stats to look at, in terms of power decline..........Brian Giles. Who suggested Jenkings?

3 BeWareTheNewSox 5 Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 The Reds #3 hitter is Joey Vitto. Now I don't follow the minor leagues but who?? Look at this joke of a lineup http://scores.espn.go.com/mlb/boxscore?gameId=270927117 . I do not look forward to these next 2 days when media orgasms after the scrubs beat a minor league team and clinch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted September 28, 2007 Author Share Posted September 28, 2007 The Reds have said that they won't play Brandon Phillips much the rest of the way. Thus, they'd be missing their 4 best hitters. In some ways, it reminds me of 2003, when the Cubs made the playoffs due to facing a Reds team where D. Jimenez was their best hitter.

The Brewers aren't going to beat the Pads 3 times anyways. If I were you, I'd just hope the Cubs don't face Philly in the first round.

The Cubs went to Cincinnati in 2003 for the 2nd to last series of the year with a half game lead and left tied for first with 3 games left. The reason they clinched was after a Friday rainout, they swept a doubleheader from the Pirates on that Saturday at Wrigley while the Astros choked and lost to the 6th place Brewers that Friday and Saturday (at Houston!!) to fall 2 games out and thus be eliminated going into the last day of the year.

What tiebreaker? There is no tiebreaker in the MLB that decides if a team is going to the playoffs or not; that is settled in a one game playoff.

That Reds lineup had Freel, Hummel, Jimenez, Casey, Pena, LaRue, and Olmedo. I remember D. Stenson being one of the most dangerous hitters on that roster at that time (he tragically died a few months later). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
