Reply With Quoteyea the cubs would be smart to build a new shack that seats like 50K+ cause it would still sell out and it would be easier to gets tickets.

Lowe's been extremely hot these past few weeks, but he's not unhittable, like you said. Billingsley doesn't really scare me at Wrigley; I'm more concerned about which Z shows up that day. Harden @ Kuroda could be a nice pitching duel as well.

If Z has a bad day, there's always Lily to fall back on. He's been cruising along nicely as of late.
I'm more worried about the Bullpen. I don't know why Lou insists on putting Bob "Homerun" Howry in. He sucks balls. On the other hand, Carlos Marmol is amazing and Wood is usually dependable, but it's the middle of the bullpen that's sketchy
9I was going over some numbers with a friend the other day and I came to teh conclusion that Cubs could build a new stadium that sat 60k and keep ticket prices the same as they are now and still make nearly all of their money back within 5-7 years, that is without extra money they get from vendors, merchandise, and private parties. It really only makes sense to build a new stadium that packs more fans.yea the cubs would be smart to build a new shack that seats like 50K+ cause it would still sell out and it would be easier to gets tickets.

i agree, lily has been throwin like a wild man lately, nice amount of Ks per outting great control etc. im never really worried about Z. as long as the starters can get through 6 i think we'll be fine. Howry is okay until he starts gettin into a deeper pitch count. i really wouldnt mind seein marmol throw 7&8, hes done it before and not had any problems then just set it up for Wood and call it a game. that is if wood can do his job which hes had a BIT of trouble doing to my liking.
9I think lately Lou kept throwing Howry out there to see who and what he has to work with in the playoffs. The way I saw these past few weeks from a baseball perspective is Lou simply trying his bench players out to see who he can put some faith in when it matters.
Now that the Cubs can carry 5 extra roster spots, it will allow guys like Pie to come in and pinch run when needed. They didn't have that sort of tool on the bench during the regular season.
BTW: Don't forget about Samardzija who I think is possibly the strongest arm in the pen. His splitter is absolutely amazing.
0Lilly would actually be a great choice to start game 2, in my opinion, but this rotation is solid either way.
Please don't bring up middle relief.

Boost is better,
rb25 "silvia"
and Oregon is pretty suspitiously close to japan if you ask me
he MUST be a japanese drifter its all there!!
9I am from Chicago. I have a Cubs avatar because I hate the Sox and I thought it was a clever avatar. I have Troy Bayliss riding his Ducati as my desktop background but I do not like Bayliss or Ducatis, but according to your wonderful logic, I must be a Bayliss fan that is a certain way because I am a Bayliss fan.

Also, not defensive at all of the Cubs. I would have done the same for any other team that hasn't won in 100 years that gets bombed but teams that haven't even made the playoffs in decades go on without a word being said.

Speaking of the Sox...anyone want to talk about the worst announcers in the league? Sox fans must watch on mute.
9This is true. The "Hawk" and "DJ" put me to sleep instantly. Hawk in his strolls down memory lane to his days where he was never as good as he thought he was.

lol missed call at seconds goes on to score a run for the twins is the end of the world but when peirzynksavuyiw3yie flops in the middle of a rundown to get a BS interference call its labeled as "great base running instincts" lol its shit like that that really takes the integrity outta the game

If I had a sister, Hawk would whine more than her.
0Ah, nothing brings baseball fans together like the White Sox.10 REASONS WHY "THE HAWK" MUST GO:
1. Repetitive nature. See Hawkisms. The Hawk has "described" the events in a ballgame with the same lame catch phrases for over 20 seasons.
2. Homer. The Hawk is more cheerleader than broadcaster. He calls the Sox the “good guys,” and the opponents, “bad guys.” Why is Harrelson such a rabid Sox fan anyway? It's weird. He should have been a fan when he was General Manager.
3. Hillbilly. The fair city of Chicago is the third largest media market in the country. So why must we listen to a South Carolinian carnival barker with NO White Sox connection? But wait, he was GM, you say? Yes, read on.
4. GM Schmee-Em. Harrelson's .239 career batting average looks good compared to his run as Sox GM in 1986. He fired Tony LaRussa, the most successful manager in the game today, over personal differences. He traded Bobby Bonilla for a pitching machine (Jose DeLeon). He almost single-handedly sent the team to Florida. How can any self-respecting Sox fan support The Hawk?
5. "The Best at this/that." You can count on The Hawk to tell you who the best player in any particular situation is- no matter how specific. "'Nobody can draw a walk in a day game like Carl Yastrzemski, DJ. Nobody. He's the best I've ever seen at that.'"
6. Playing Daze. The Hawk yaps incessantly about what it was like when he played. "We used to play with cow patties...we had cow patty bases...cow patty balls..."
7. Yastrzemski man-crush. When he's extra fired up, Harrelson shows evidence of a disturbing Carl Yastrzemski man-crush, gushing about the BoSox slugger for innings at a time.
8. Dead Air. The Hawk often says ABSOLUTELY NOTHING for minutes at a time, especially when the Sox are losing.
9. Jay Mariotti obsession. The Hawk regularly wastes valuble air time confronting his arch nemesis, Jay Mariotti. Just call the game, Harrelson. Don't be such a baby.
10. Because he sounds like that Boomhauer guy from "King of the Hill."
9Dog gonnit!

Yeah because that's the exact same
