CanadianChris 0 Report post Posted October 1, 2003 Honestly, though, how many pitchers are able to throw 100 pitches in a game? It can't be many more than just Wood, can it? Johnson, Schilling, Halladay, Colon, Hudson, Mussina, Vazquez, Prior...I'm out. OK. Now might be a good time for me to mention my sarcasm. That would have been useful, yes.

Bruiser Chong 0 Report post Posted October 1, 2003 Blah, double post. Didn't seem like it went through the first time. But anyway, thank god Farns rebounded from that walk. I still say Dusty shoulda stuck with Remlinger for the rest of the inning, since Borowski was the only one left down there after Farns. Thank god there's only one inning left, my nerves are shot.

A Happy Medium 0 Report post Posted October 1, 2003 Well the Cubs did go to playoffs in atleast 84, 89, and 98..but meh. I was freaking out when Chipper grounded into the fielders choice that scored a run. I mean, he was out. Steve Lyons is a jackass. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bruiser Chong 0 Report post Posted October 1, 2003 OK, I get that the Cubs have a national following, but Jesus christ the cheers at the end were ridiculous. Do Atlanta fans even give a damn? No. It's well documented that the Braves fans don't start coming out until the NLCS. I think having a split crowd helped out a lot, and it really made for a fun atmosphere tonight. I don't think I've ever been that tense during any sort of game in my entire life. I know it's one win, but statistics show just how important getting that first win in the NL is and on Atlanta's home turf, no less. The Cubs needed this one because who knows how Zambrano will fare with his first postseason outing being in such a tense atmosphere as it's sure to be. Being a Braves fan hurts. Heh, it's a long ways from the bandwagon to that ground, I'll tell you. I'm just glad I can finally breathe again, until tomorrow night that is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brush with Greatness 0 Report post Posted October 1, 2003 Well, the three teams I wanted to win today did just that. Now only if the BoSox can pull it off as well. Ideally, if it came down to Boston Minnesota Chicago San Fran Any of those teams winning the World Series would make me happy. A Boston v. Chicago final would just be awesome because one of those teams would finally have to win. Minnesota is cheered upon because of Corey Koskie (a fellow small town Manitoba boy) and because they are the closest MLB team to me. San Fran because I WANT BARRY BONDS TO WIN A WORLD SERIES. That's right, I said it and I don't give a shit what anybody else feels about him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vern Gagne 0 Report post Posted October 1, 2003 I don't have a problem with Thom Brennerman, he seems fine. Steve Lyons seems like he's watching a different game some of the time, or not even paying attention. You liked when Thom Brennan said managers seldom receive the credit for a teams success, but all the blame when something goes wrong. What alternative universe is he living in where that exists? One thing about LaTroy Hawkins. Hope you like Pinstripes, because that's where you're playing next year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sfaJack 0 Report post Posted October 1, 2003 Steve Lyons is a jackass. Yeah. I especially loved when Lofton dropped that bloop single into center and Wood came around to score the 4th run. Lyons was carrying on about what "great instincts" Wood has because he knew that ball would drop and was looking to score by hauling ass around third instead of holding up at second like a lot of players would. Fucking DUH! There were two outs at the time, lameass. OF COURSE he's going to be running. That shit right there made me wish for McCarver. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Wildbomb 4:20 Report post Posted October 1, 2003 Game 1 of the best damn Divisional Series comes up tonight at 10... PEDRO. HUDSON. This is going to be very interesting. Pedro has had an absolutely fantastic September, with the offense continuing the torrid pace. But the Sox have always had trouble winning in Oakland, especially in the post-season. But hey, I think the Sox will split in Oakland, bring it back to Fenway, and win two straight. Pitching match-ups: 1. Pedro vs. Hudson 2. Wakefield vs. Zito 3. Lowe vs. Lilly 4. Pedro vs. Hudson/Zito 5. Lowe/Wakefield vs. Hudson/Zito Oh bloody hell this thing needs to end at 4 games...I don't feel confident giving the ball to Wakefield and Lowe twice within a best-of-5 series. I think that the best pitching match-up will come either tonight or on Saturday night, when they run Lowe vs. Lilly. Lilly has been hot, with Lowe stepping it up at the right time. But Lowe has really only been successful at home this season, which is why he's not #2 in the rotation. Crazy. I think tonight will wind up 3-1 Sox. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
