10 or 11 games?!?

I could see the Cubs winning the division. How could you not?

But they won't run away with it.

if anybody is not afraid of the cubs, they should be. that team can hit when they're healthy. beware.

Wow, just realized that this thread is peanuts compared to SportsWorld's one on the Cubs board.

I think a lot of Brewer fans are convinced that the Cubs will ultimately "choke" because they always do. Little to Brewer fans remember is that the Cubs have made the playoffs 4 times since 1984. So there is at least 4 seasons in which the Cubs didn't choke during the regular season. And in 1998 the cubs actually beat the Giants in a 1 game playoff to get into the playoffs. I will admit, though, that they did choke in '04, but Dusty is no longer the manager.

I just think that any time a team is only 2.5 games behind you this late in the season, nothing is a given.

Ayt I just saw that you changed your sig. How could u?!

Your man love for Yo is becoming more then Europa's love for a pass first PG or MBBOT love for Marvin Williams and Steve Francis.

It was only a short time thing. I have had enough of the caveman though.

I might have to go back to Yo at some point though. I do admit to having a massive man crush on him.

We have the second largest lead of any division leader. The lead is 3 1/2. One week ago it was 3 1/2. Two weeks ago it was 3 1/2. And the Scrubs have been pretty much playing out of their ass. It has to be frustrating for them to pick up zero ground in two weeks.

Agreed...
I have one fear remaining:
The Cubs can make up some ground on this road trip with Lee back and very favorable pitching matchups. We all know how good we are on the road...

A friend of mine can do the best Christopher Walken impersonation of him. It is uncanny.

I don't fault you for the manlove for Yo. If he lives up to his potential he is going to make us perennial contenders.

*side note. Isn't it weird that Christopher Walken is never referred as just Walkin. People always say his entire name. Like other actors are sometimes referred by their last name like: Cruise, Stalone, Depp.

One of my all time favorite scenes in a movie is the one in True Romance with Christopher Walken and Dennis Hopper.Walken is just brilliant there,i've watched that scene a good 20 times or so.

This scene?

This whole scene is fascinating because of the situation between the two characters and the great, though one sided, dialog; Day-Lewis is unreal.

This one with Walken is pretty damn hilarious as well:

You can't blame him...

Most people would EXPECT a lineup involving Hart, Hardy, Braun all on the bench and Suppan on the mound an easy victory... :dontknow:
