Cubs @ Astros [08/08/07] Game Thread (Game 113 of 162)

[A.J.]

they have stranded 13 runners,

lou is gonna be pissed.

at least yall have a manager that dont take no bull from anyone.

[Howling Mad]

I never understood the whole "second favourite team" thing. I could never care about another team except my team. I don't begrudge people who do (I think a few regulars embrace it, like BULL even PAX and 2poor if I'm not mistaken), I just can't wrap my head around caring about two teams.

I actually agree with this. Although there are some cases where I understand, like mine. I was born in Queens and lived there during my early childhood. I frequently visited my Dad in the Summer and went to a lot of Mets games. My Pops use to live 8 blocks from Shea and now lives 3 blocks from the Mecca, so I have lots of chances to catch the Knicks. They suck I know.

I wouldnt call it taking bull, just plain good baseball. Its two different worlds though when you have one manager never taking chances and playing the cool guy and now Lou is a pure strategist and takes chances that pay off on most occasions.

Cubs, Bulls (absolutely loved watching this team since coming back from 0-9 start in 04-05), Bears, Blackhawks (who are they?)

Me:
Cubs, Bears, Bulls
They are all equal for me.
I am a Cubs fan in Summer, Bears fan in Fall, Bulls fan in Winter and spring.

Oh yea, its not the same as going to Wrigley with Mets gear on though. Cub fans are nationwide so its not unusual to attend a game in enemy territory with Cubs gear on. St Lou maybe, but they're usually not even tooo bad.

[A.J.]

the only reason im starting to like the texans is because they took matt schaub from my second favorite football team. the falcons.

[IbreakNeckZ101]

me bulls, cubs, bears, and i don't know..

[Rodanlee]

what's so great about schaub anyways, he gets a huge contract and has he ever done as a career backup?

[A.J.]

not equal, but I agree with the seasonal approach.

You'll hardly see me post in the other forums as much as I post on the current sports forums.

Schaub actually looked good in the times he has played. I know they were mostly preseason but he looked like Montana in preseason and that says a lot in football.

Not like other sports like b-ball where the preseason doesn't matter AT ALL. Football is still watered down but if your performing you can play.

he hasnt even play a game yet and he has already earned the respect over kubs( coach kubiak) and a.j. (andre johnson)

Well, I'm off. The mediocrity of the Central continues. Honored to be considered a usual, I'll push that to the limit.

Here's hoping that rain hits Chicago rather than here, this city blows as it is, seeing this city in a more widespread crisis that it was in two nights ago would be apocalyptic.

Theres a reason why several coaches, players, etc are drooling over him. He can throw the ball and accurately. Ever seen him in preseason? Yeah its preseason but you can still judge his arm and accuracy... and its real good.

The Falcons have always had an offense built for a runner so putting a throwing QB like Schaub out there would just be murder for him.
