Here cubby, cubby, cubbbies :^)

[genegodawa]

If I told you once, I told you a million times to stop exaggerating! Monumental nothing!

Shoot, they are only 1 game in front. If they just stub their toes they won't make the post-season.

Comeback was nice last night. We will see how the $90Million Z-Man pitches on 3 days rest though.

I get 5 days in beautiful Minocqua, WI starting tomorrow so hopefully when I return Sunday night, the Cubbies will be ahead to stay.

[CNY Tim]

Geno even though were out of it remember the last road trip we played against the Brewers in August we swept em in dominating fashion, my birds could have a very big say in this. They have pride and even down 11-0 against the Phils last night they did heck of a job to comeback and make the game semi close. We play Milwaukee next Mon thru Wed.

[Windy City Walleye Hunter]

Geno,

Enjoy your trip to Cheese-Land, you will be fishing and looking for the big ones, you Cubbies will be swimming in shark infested waters trying to avoid being somebodies lunch! Are the nerves getting to you yet, Pepto and Jack Daniels, my Cubbie Loving friend. Have fun and tight lines!

Windy

[fishyguy]

Hey Geno,

I am with you and rootin' for the Cubbies, although I fear the ending will be agonizing again, but I love an underdog.

I am predicting a Red Sox/Mets series, but wishing for a Cleveland/Cubbies series.

[genegodawa]

The Cheese-land lake I fished was abysmal (sp?).....all small feesh...but the weather was great...and the radio played to the tune of Cubs Win/Brewers lose so I have that going for me.

Way to go Fishy....keep rooting! 3 1/2 up with 6 to play would make it the worst flop ever for my Cubbies if they can't get it done now.

Tim, I will root for your Cards to help out again.

BTW...this afternoon, I heard the Cubs still had a mathematical chance to end up with the best NL record...Funnee!

[CNY Tim]

Geno - I am sorry my Cards have not been able to help you guys, hang in there...

[Windy City Walleye Hunter]

No way CNY,

Here's to the Red Birds dying like dogs for the next two games. I want Geno to earn this playoff berth. We got to see him sweat a little, kind of like when my boys nearly blew a 15 game lead and had to hang on by their fingernails before blowing everybody away in the playoffs in 05.

The stronger the breeze, the tougher the trees. Here's to the Brew Crew Breeze! Can the poor Cubbie saplings hold up??? Geno, your answer is........

LOL

Windy

[PierBridge]

He's sweating right now.... .....this isn't even close to being over the Cubs have not beaten the Marlins since April 2006 thats 9 games in a row against a dreadfull team. If that streak continues.....

[genegodawa]

My prediction is that I will be drinking heavily on the last day of the season.

[Windy City Walleye Hunter]

Remember Geno,

Pepto and Jack Daniels

That should do the trick, it worked for me during Sept of 05!

Don't forget my roller coaster analogy. Are you on the way up.....or DOWN???

LMAO

Windy

[genegodawa]

I forgot about the coaster saying.

Like Alfred E. Neuman I say, "What, me worry?"

You know what worry is like?

Worrying is like being on a rocking chair - it gives you something to do but it doesn't get you anywhere!

[Windy City Walleye Hunter]

Geno,

Speaking of rocking chairs, you have to be as nervous as a long tail cat in a room full of rocking chairs! (insert rim shot here)

PS: I could see you as the Alfred E. Neuman type LOL

Windy

[genegodawa]

Yep, back in the days of my yute.....MAD and CRACKED...and Superman and Batman and the occassional Archie - god, was Veronica hot or what?

[Windy City Walleye Hunter]

So Geno,

Are your Cubbies going to take this thing the way the Germans took over Poland....

They marched in backwards and everybody thought they were leaving! (insert rim shot here)

I guess you will take em any way you can get em. Looks like the Cubbies will go 0-5 and pray the Brew Crew dump a few so they can back into the playoffs.

Windy

[genegodawa]

Both the Cubs and Brewers were lucky the Cards were so beat up this year that they couldn't field their regular team for most of the season.

I really don't understand that whole "backing in" deal....the winner has more wins than the 2nd place team FOR THE SEASON, not just in the last week of the season.

More wins is more wins no matter when they come.

And I just hope my Cubs are saving their wins for the playoffs.

Good one Geno right from the Horse's "windy" mouth "see 05 whitesox collaspe"

Your right getting into the playoffs is all that matters the last 2 World series winners were playing the worst baesball of all teams entering the playoffs.

It's baseball anything can and will happen!

[Windy City Walleye Hunter]

Geno,

I was just giving it back to "youz guyz" that were busting my hump in 05 when, according to all the FM'ers, my beloved Pale Hose were "backing into" the playoffs. Glad a few of you remember, (Pier). The only difference so far is that my Pale Hose actually closed the deal, yet to be seen what your Cubbies will do....Only time will tell!

Windy

[Windy City Walleye Hunter]

So Pier,

According you your theory, the Cards were playing the worst baseball going into the playoffs??? Correct me if I am wrong (CNY feel free to chime in) but didn't the Cards get Rolens and Pujols (or was it somebody else) back just at the right time for their playoff push. I remember them getting hot just at the right time. Yes they had the worst overall record but I thought I remember them getting hot just at the right time.

Windy

[genegodawa]

All I remember about '05 was hoping the WSox would collapse to erase the Chi-town memories of '69.

But, alas, they came through when they had to....if you count HR's by Posednik and that other no-name/utility guy as coming through and not just plain ol' luck. But I digress as that is ancient history now.

It will be interesting this last weekend in the NL - lots of teams still have a chance. Like I said before, I'll probably be drinking heavily on the last day of the season.

Join me, why don't you? If you like kool-aid, that is!

OK I'll correct you being wrong...

The Cardinals entered the final weekend of the regular season as a team beaten, bruised, battered and on the verge of the biggest collapse in baseball history with an 8 1/2 game lead on Sept 20th....DOUBLE DOH!

The Cardinals opened a four-game set on the last weekend of the season Thursday, Sept. 28, against the Brewers in desperate need of a win.

They dropped the first game of the series, marking their ninth loss in the past 11 games.

The Cardinals won Friday night, Saturday, and clinched the division title on Sunday and ended the season 83-79.

I wouldn't consider that playing great ball down the stretch...

Even Tim gave the Cards no chance in the playoffs....I had to constantly remind him of your success and my slogan "anything can and will happen in Baseball"...

[genegodawa]

OK, now I'm nervous.

[Windy City Walleye Hunter]

Well I guess we will all have to subscribe to Pier's theory that anything can happen in baseball......

Like the Cubbies dumping their last 6 games to teams that have not seen the Mason Dixon line since May or

The Brew Crew running off 3 straight against a hot Padre team looking to make the playoffs

Yep, I am all in with Pier's theory.

Windy

[Windy City Walleye Hunter]

Geno,

Here is my secret message of the day for you. See if you can crack the code. LOL!

!sffoyalp eht otni sdrawkcab gnihcram og seibbuC eht gnihcram, gnihcraM

Windy

[Windy City Walleye Hunter]

So Pier,

What you are saying about the Cards was that they went into the Playoffs winning three out of three games. Sounds like a team on a roll to me, not one that is beaten. And I guess the rings on their fingers are a testament to that point.

Windy

[CNY Tim]

Anything can happen in baseball... Got a first class education in that last season was very very fortunate there was a silver lining in that cloud

I got some satisfaction last night watching the Cards Joel Pinero 3 hit the highly potent Met offense. Of course Albert was Albert and we got the job done. The only thing that I was hoping for was Molina to come off the bench when Heilman was in there . Poor Pedro

I kind of like this spoiler deal adding to the Met's collapse... Go Phillies!
