Overflow Thread 2: Cubs vs. Blue Jays, Saturday 6/14, 12:07 CT

I have a feeling the Cards are now going to go through a losing stretch. They may have a great manager, but without their ace and best hitter, I don’t think they will last against teams that are above 500.

damnit!

I thought the game started at 7!

Chanman25 - June 14, 2008 reply

good win though!

Chanman25 - June 14, 2008 reply

Ohhh man...

I thought it was 1:07, so I was late too…

Bump Bailey - June 14, 2008 reply

I was wondering where you guys were...

thought you were enjoying this beautiful day :)

Emelie - June 14, 2008 reply

well true

I was at the pool!

Chanman25 - June 14, 2008 reply

A beautiful day indeed!

got my chores done, the cubs win….hmmm…think I’ll go to the lakefront for awhile, then maybe enjoy some cold beverages and listen to some blues…:)

Bump Bailey - June 14, 2008 reply

That

sounds like a plan

Emelie - June 14, 2008 reply

2-0 Cards

Boo Cards..

Hope the Phils put another 20 spot on em…

Bump Bailey - June 14, 2008 reply

Hate to be over-confident...

but I hope the Phils and Cards split all their games. I realize the Cubs won’t be handed the Central, but I view the Phillies as a bigger threat because I think they have the talent to steal home field from the Cubs in the playoffs. I’m just….not sold on the Cards holding up.

This team obviously needs home field in the playoffs. Speaking of, go NL in the All-Star game. Because. It. Counts.

Kansas25 - June 14, 2008 reply

Indeed

The Phillies are a big threat. Utley, Howard, Hamels, Rollins…they have a strong core. I like their team and to beat them the Cubs need pitching. The offense of the Phillies>offense of the Cubs (slightly), but the SP and RP goes to the Cubs (again, by slight margin). These teams are similar, but that can all change by acquiring a number 2-3 pitcher.

Geo4MVP - June 14, 2008 reply

Defensively

The Phillies infield is better. The OF goes to the Cubs.

Geo4MVP - June 14, 2008 reply

Hey Al

about your comment at the top of the thread, yeah, with Halliday pitching it could be over and it was, but for the Jays! This team just keeps coming back. I love it. And I hope to see it continue all the way into the October Classic!

I started watching The Cubs back in he days of Dick Drott, Glen Hobbie, Lee Walls, Ernie and still remember the first home run I saw in person hit by Hank Sauer. This Cub team is the best!

3-2 Cardinals

Come on Phillies.

Geo4MVP - June 14, 2008 reply

I'm more worried about how we do

than how the Cards do. If we keep it up then we don’t have to worry about them. Let’s keep our fate in our own hands.

bubbamike the one and only - June 14, 2008 reply

True

But isn’t it better if the Cards falter and the Cubs lead expands. As the old saying goes “stomp on em while they are down.”
