Owings has been pretty damn good the last couple of months while Hernandez has been awful, he has no business starting over Owings.

Greg The Bull Luzinski Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 I just look at the D'backs line up and think, how the hell is this team in the playoffs? How did they win 90 games when they are offensively retarded? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's going to be dry all day Saturday, and the rain Sunday won't get here until night, and it's a noon game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As CWS said earlier, and I've said for a week, this series is over though if the Cubs beat Webb tonight. In terms of talent on the field, this seems like the Red Sox/Angels series. Has anyone found out what would happen if the Cubs play Rockies in the NLCS, with regards to home-field ad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not supposed to rain on Saturday, and there is only an isolated chance of late afternoon and nighttime storms on Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Wild Card team can never have home field advantage unless it makes it to the World Series and it's league won the All Star Game, just as pre "this time it counts", a wild card team could never have home field unless it was it's leagues turn to have home field in the World Series and they made it there.

CWSGuy406 Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 I really fear the D'Backs not scoring Young in the first inning is going to haunt them. They had a chance to steal a run early and get Webb a lead. Normally I'm against bunting but with the lower scoring environment in the playoffs -- as well as having your ace on them mound -- getting run #1 is huge (no statistical basis for that -- just a gut feeling. Could be wrong...). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
