Even the squirrels are against you.

That goat is laying in the weeds ready to tear your ass up.

Animal kingdom > Scav

Seriously, all I am asking for this weekend is to come back with all the organs I have currently, no altercations with bootleg racetrack people, and no animal altercations

worried about the safety of the people on the plane...

LOL

:eek:

file a claim with your insurance, unless of course you have a large deductible. they may cover something like that. a bizarre story, but from what i've read previously, squirrels are responsible for quite a few house fires every year from just such a thing.

Damn thing is lucky that I only saw the damage and not him becuase I would have strangled the life out of him

::Scav chasing squirrel down the street...::

:eek:

I don't think the squirrel has any reason to be scared.

We got 3 games to win 1. Be terrific to win a playoff series at home. Dodgers have been much better at home this year. Kuroda can be a warrior. It's a matter of whether he has anything to give. He is very mentally tough, but he is unprofessional at controlling his pitches. He can go from contending for a no hitter to getting knocked out in the 3rd or 4th inning. Given this particular situation, I think he is gunna step up, and be a warrior. It's a guess though. I absolutely love watching Furcal play this game. He was our heart n' soul, and then he was gone. I think just about everybody thought we lost him for the year. Getting him back was a big surprise. Watching him hit, and streak down the 1st baseline is a huge rush. I think he is a big part of this. He gives everyone that lil extra bit of confidence. He is a star. Absolutely a star. Now we have 2 stars. We have beaten this team here this year. I think they are gunna do it, and the party is gunna be a blast. This organization needs to win a playoff series very badly. Everybody wants to win a world series, but a playoff series win is gunna bring a lot of pride back to an organization that has had it's a-s-s kicked around for 20 years. Most of these guys still have that sick feeling from getting swept by the Mets. This is the only way to get rid of that embarassment. We don't have much to close games with right now. We have got a problem with Saito. He is not right. I think we can take this at home. It's important to do this at home with the L.A. Fans. They are gunna be determined. If CUBS want this, then they are gunna have to beat a very hungry group, and very hungry fans.

"We don't have a deal with them!!"

Any guesses?

Who is George Costanza from Seinfeld.

Put your pants back on!!

:tro:

i don't believe in curses. if i did, i'd put one on my mother in law.

Just being Manny !!

I'm going tomorrow night, and I ain't gunna btch if they don't get it done. To Dodger fans, success is winning a playoff series(especially at home.) I don't even think about them going to the World Series. Even if they lose 3 straight, it's still the best year we've had in 20 years. This is house money. We got Billingsley's best. Maybe we can get a good one from Kuroda. If they lose 3 straight, it isn't gunna be as bad as 1980. They had beaten the Astros 3 straight to end the season in a tie. I got out of school and had good tickets to the one game playoff. They were right behind the Astros Dugout. That was a very bad day.

Sitting in the all you can eat section?

Could of gotten them there, but we are gunna eat on the way. The official name appears to be the "All You Can Eat Pavillion." I sat there when I saw Fernado beat Righetti in the '81 World Series. For some reason, I don't like it as well as being behind the plate. Even if it's top deck behind the plate. It's better.

It's a combination of factors.

1) Lowe is motivated to get a payday:p

2) Manny is motivated to do well somewhere new, and get a contract. Also, this is a town that fits someone like him. Much more privacy away from the stadium here.

3) Before Manny, this was a case of 2 factions. One younger group wanted a loose clubhouse, and the others were either neutral or wanted a more professional atmosphere(Kent.) When Manny came, he got most everyone to relax, and have some fun. Kent wasn't for it. He talked s-h-i-t about the announcer we have had for over 50 years. The team lost 8 in a row. Kent got hurt. They were great without him. He wants to win a ring so badly that he keeps his mouth quiet, and sits on the bench waiting to be called upon as a pinch hitter. The pitchers are pitching to their ability. We are vulnerable late in games now. SAITO evidently doesn't have it anymore(I guess.) Broxton is very shaky. He got a very low strike last night, and that will only encourage him to try to paint edges. That means he is gunna have control problems, or have to throw something over the plate. He refuses to just start overpowering people(fat bastard.) Somebody else will need to step up, or we will struggle to close out games now.

4)Furcal being back(and playing this well) is a totally unexpected lift. 2 weeks ago, they said he could hit, but not run. Now he is streaking to 1st base to beat out a drag bunt.

#5 the Cubs suck/are cursed/jinxed by Scavs...

...... yeah, well who wouldnt.......curses manifest, my friend....

Well, they would be better off realizing they must execute pitches, or they will lose. This belief that the boogieman is after them only feeds other teams. The Dodgers have decent pitching. Did they beat the Dodgers (3 in a row at Wrigley) earlier this year by scoring a slew of runs? No, they pitched well against a team that doesn't do well against good pitching. Stop pressuring your own batters, and start pitching. You can't expect to win by having 7 walks, and throwing Loney a cookie with the bases loaded. That has nothing to do with a curse. It's a very bad pitch, and good execution by Loney. However, you gave him the opportunity. In the 2nd game, I kept hearing that Zambrano pitched a good game(he just got hurt by poor fielding.) You know what? That pitch he threw Ethier(to start the inning) wasn't good enough. That pitch he threw Martin was very bad. That pitch he threw Manny was too straight. He didn't pitch good enough. Look at the pitches Santana is throwing Boston tonite. You can't win playoff games throwing that s-h-i-t. Your team hasn't pitched well. It's not a curse. You blame your hitters because you don't recognize your opponent's pitching. Your hitters missed some pitches, but when Chad started throwing cookies, they were all over it. Ramirez missed a couple poor pitches, and Soriano didn't make him work enough. You have a chance to take 3, but you must pitch. There seems to be way too much attention on batting (in your city,) and not enough attention on pitching. If Harden pitches well, the Dodgers will probably not score on him. That game he threw in the playoffs a couple years ago would probably be good enough to shut us down. I can see you taking 3, but if you're gunna believe in curses, then you're diggin' ya own grave.

ted lilly pftttttt !!!!!!!!!:wf

lol:wf

Okay you two....tell me what you think of Cory Wade coming in here. Doesnt Joe have more than this rookie here?

First ****ing pitch are you kidding me? Soriano can be a moron

Cubs can be summed up in one word, OVERRATED! Cubs fans can soon start enjoying their second century without World Series triumph.

Where's Bartman?

Bring Back Bartman

Bartman, Say It Ain't So!

Pulling for Dodgers-Rays World Series as that would really, really upset Yankees (and the Boss) as Torre managed team challenges AL East champion (and Boss' hometown) Tampa Bay Rays. You can't make this stuff up!

"hey chicago what'ya say, cubs are gonna get swept today."

loooooooooooooooosers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's official, "Dodgers Win, Dodgers Win, Dodgers Win!"

check all the bridges in chicago right now!!!!!!!!!!!!!:zz:

What's with all the glee in the Cubs losing? If this were the Red Sox, I'd join you, but I feel bad for Cubs fans.

try living in this state and listening to the year long bull+++++++++++

You're right, I'd probably feel differently if I lived in Illinois. Still, I find it tough to hate a team that hasn't won a championship in 101 years.

He stepped up. Being at that game was the most fun me n' my Dad ever had together. He is 77, and fat. Winning a playoff series before he kicks it wasn't looking like a very good possibility. Kuroda really came thru for us. Fans were so into this game. The Cub fans sure showed up in our house, and with every pitch people were talkin' s-h-i-t back n' forth (all night.) Something about this team is different than the ones who won the World Series. These guys really appreciate their fans, and share it with them. Broxton was throwing strikes. I couldn't believe it. This fatboy was actually getting it done. Went right after them. It was amazing. Finally got that monkey("can't win a playoff series") off our back.

:D

Congrats Scuds...nothing like peaking at the right time

You see Bowa do this? Hilarious. I'm sure they talked about it a lot on T.V.

I'm looking at the video of some of these breaking pitches from Kuroda, Wade, and Broxton. Can't believe it. All pitching with great break...LOL..

:)
