"Best division in baseball?"

Ok, you can point to the NL Central overall W/L records, but do you really believe that the NL Central is the best division in MLB?

Do you believe that the NL Central is better than the AL East, West or even the Central?

Bear in mind that the NL Central, “the best division in MLB,” has a 42-51 record against the AL. And the Cards, Brewers and Cubs all have losing records to the AL. Only the Reds managed to walk away from interleague with a winning record.

NL Central best in the NL? Sure.

Two trips to the DR and an all-star game in the last month have caught up with Ramy. If Sori can play tomorrow, I’d like to see DeRo at 3B for 2 of the next 3 games. That would give Ramy a chance to work in the cage and clear his head a bit.

Gotta score to win.....

Can’t keep leaving all those baserunners out there cloggging the bases….

The snakes know what to do when they get a baserunner…..

Cubs 10 (min) baserunners…1 RUN…

Snakes…9 baserunners…5 runs…......

The best defense is a good offense

Let's not panic

Even if we get our ass kicked tonight it might be a good experience for the team. Let’s face it – this is a good Cubs team but they simply have to start winning on the road. Humility is a good teacher – guys like Fukudome, Ramirez and Soto are gonna hit but they’d better start now. Time for some benchings to get some people’s attention and let’s drive on!

Sadly this season is feeling a lot like the 07 brewers

Start out extremely hot with a nice sized division lead the pressure of being the “hunted” closes down on us and the hunters swoop right in and take the division lead and if im not mistaken this is around the time last year that we took over first place from the brewers

Consider This...

There is still an excellent chance that the Cubs make the postseason without winning the NL Central.

There have been a lot of UFO sightings over Arizona recently

and i think we are witnessing the results of an alien abduction of ARam, Dlee, and Soto. They drained the giddyap from their bodies and released them as weakened souls.

let them loose

if they have been abducted the surely will be set free at Wrigley

The Marlins are a good team with power

so our pitchers and hitters better bring their “A” games or it could get ugly.

not worried

about the pitchers at lease – where the hell is the hitting

For some reason this game is a little easier to tolerate

than last night’s. Maybe because I thought we had a great shot to finally beat Randy Johnson and couldn’t get anything going.

Lou's gonna send a message

I bet tomorrow’s lineup looks like this:

Soriano
Theriot
Fukodome
Edmunds
Derosa
Ward
Fontenot
Blanco
Lily

My Advice For The Cubs Tomorrow

forget the long ball and just concentrate on making contact. Couldn’t be any worse than all these warning track outs.

DBacks

These guys are below .500 and they lead their division. They have a constant stream of young players coming up and producing. They beat the Cubs in Phoenix (andChicago) like they were a AAA team. Randy Frikkin Johnson at 45 years old beats them like they were school kids.

MAN, DO I HATE THE D-BACKS!!!

and their announcer, that squirt makes me puke. PUKE I TELL YA!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can’t take it anymore.
