I am getting ready to leap jump, R U?

hmmmmm. gagne is looking pretty good this year.

Seriously. Sept. is 2 months away. At the rate of posted fanpost’s around here, this will be off the main page in 45 minutes. Let’s discuss the standings as they are Wednesday or Thursday. Speculating on the standings months away seems very silly to me.

My .02

Rotation actually 1-5 edge to the Cubs.

Bullpen advantage Cubs

Lineup slight advantage Brewers\

Defense advantage Cubs

division doesn’t mean anything to me, if the Cubs make the playoffs thats all that matters. Get there and then take care of business. It’s only July folks.

is NOT 2 months away. It’s 5 1/2 weeks. The Cubs Bullpen has not been good and Wood is now out until who knows when. They just said he is not healing and will be seeing another Dr. in Chicago tomorrow. If and when Wood comes back he will be rusty. Meanwhil Marmol and Howry are less than stellar. The Brewers have a better offense period.

That was harsh man. I am simply pointing out some facts and expressing myself as a die-hard who is frustrated. Brewers won again and now e are down 2-1.

who cares, honestly, the division doesn’t mean a thing and I would rather be hot like the Brewers in the end of September into October.

You’d stick with the Cubs instead of being such a pessimist. Seriously, an attitude of “Oh, we’re not gonna win the division!” is not the right attitude in the MIDDLE OF JULY unless the team you’re talking about is the Pirates or something.

If you are going to be hot, thats the best time to do so. I just want to be able to get to the playoffs.

I really doubt Wood is out for much longer. Probably early next week. I think people overreact to the word specialist.

I have been a Cub fan since 1966 my friend. That is exactly why I am freaking out. I want to win soooo bad, I can taste it. Please…before I die! A good streak would be nice, but you have to look at the schedule. The Brewers have it really, really easy. They play 19 more games vs. teams with winning records. We have almost twice that amount.

I can’t take any more of these threads. Can’t you go play on the freeway or something?

The wild card is bound to come out of the central. No matter what happens in the central, I’d expect to see both the Cubs and the Brewers in the playoffs this October.

Who truly is the better team in the upcoming series. But do you guys think the Cardianls, now at three games back, are falling out of it?

The same post in two diaries. Once is enough. Need a push?

means you’ve been a baseball fan since then as well. You know it’s too early to worry this much. Go to the spa, get a massage, make love to your wife, pray to whatever god you worship- but don’t worry.

Be glad that the Cubs are struggling a little bit now, instead of in Sept. Remember that the Brewers are still young, talented yes, but young and inexperienced. Remember the Brewers have Ned Yost as a manager. Remember that the Brewers are spent, they don’t have the means left to make a significant trade if they would need to. We have Lou Piniella, one of the best. We have Jim Hendry, who is also known as “wild Jim”, when it comes to trades. Don’t think for a minute that he will only make one minor trade, he’s got carte blanche from the money men.

Breathe in, breathe out… Relax.

Why I get on this blog in the morning and open up these posts. It just ruins my morning and gets me all irratated and annoyed, especially after the Cubs performance last night. You’d think the Brewers made the playoffs last year.

And take all the other negative Neds with you.

I’ve waited too damned many years for this and I’m not about to give up.
