Not necessarily

DET slumped into the playoffs, went to the WS, where they lost to STL, who also slumped into the playoffs.

BOS slumped into the playoffs, went to the WS, where they beat COL, who was about as hot as you can be going into (and through) the playoffs.

Momentum going into the postseason is overrated.

Man, I wish we could go into the playoffs on the high the Brewers have right now. Instead, we go in rested but not playing especially well. And I also don’t understand how a pitcher can get rocked all year and still make the postseason roster. Howry hasn’t had a thing all year, just straight fastballs that get killed.

who cares...

… how they get in (if they get in). The bottom line is that the Cubs play who they play. If its the Dodgers, its a solid but not spectacular team. If its the Mets is a tremendous ace followed by a line-up that can be a sleeping giant. Anything can happen in a 5 or 7 game series. The Cubs need to play good ball and drive in runs when they have the opportunity.

I did comment

And I’m commenting now on the concept of a team “backing into the playoffs”. Everything resets once the playoffs start and it doesn’t matter how a team gets in. I’m not sure how its pertinent to anything how a team gets in. As I said in a five or seven game series anything can happen. So whether the Brewers get in “on an emotional high” and that carries forward or whether they backed in and are in a shambles, who knows. Anything can happen and the best team doesn’t always win.

They’ve come back from I don’t how many times now. When things look their worst, this team makes the best of it. In all my life, I’ve never seen this team do that. We’ve all been given so many awesome moments this season, that it would be foolish to call it a season just because Howry gave it away in this one game. No reason to feel bad about anything right now. Not Soto, DeRo, Soriano, Dome, Z, Howry, etc.

To end this on an even more positive note, if anything at all disturbs me, it’s that I didn’t start posting here sooner, but I’ve had a blast for I don’t know how long with laughing at a lot of things you all say. You’re all some of the best fans I’ve met, and it was real cool to bump into Al a couple weeks ago. So if I feel bad about anything, it’s that.

I wanted the Mets to make the playoffs just so that the Cubs were guaranteed an easy NLDS opponent, and so that the final game at Shea stadium could be a CUBS PLAYOFF WIN.

However, watching the Mets get their hearts ripped out on national TV – when all they had to do to keep their playoff hopes alive was win a home game against the freaking Marlins – was very, very satisfying.

Dodgers got to coast against sub .500 teams for the last 6 weeks while we have

had to face play-off caliber teams. The only reason the Dodgers are above .500 now is because of the weak division they are in. I like the tune up that the Cubs have had to endure and how well they have played with mostly b-team line ups (& bullpens).

If the Cubs play the solid baseball they are capable of playing (and keep Howry out of the games), I have no doubt that the Cubs should be able to control their own destiny.

I agree 100% that Bob Howry is awful...

…but AGAIN, I don’t see the options beyond him. Apparently neither do Hendry, Lou and Larry.

Oh please let this dubious bullpen be good enough in the playoffs...

by MDBNIU on Sep 28, 2008 4:24 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

I'm just scratching my head here as to why they think Howry is better than Guzmán at this point.

He just proved today that he can give them a few good inning that Howry can’t pitch at present.

by Fraggin Judge on Sep 28, 2008 4:26 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

obviously?

it is obviously the case that the Cubs aren’t comfortable with pushing the rehabilitating Angel Guzman any more past today.

could you site a reference?

I can only assume this...

Because if Guzman weren’t under strict medical microscope right now then it would seem he would easily be the guy to make the NLDS roster.

What's your plausible explanation then???

Because statements of the blindingly obvious like “Bob Howry should not make the playoff roster” are useless without perspective on the other candidates. Clearly the Cubs have hestitancy about putting Guzman on a playoff roster and the only plausible reason is that the medical people don’t want him pushed any more. But if you have evidence of a vast right wing conspiracy in favor of Howry then please do share.

I find it difficult to believe that Howry's

performance this year would allow lou to pitch him in the post season. While I agree that the other option are not ideal, he has just performed too poorly for Lou to march him out there.

is that Bob Howry is not a starter. Ryan Dempster, Rich Harden, and Ted Lilly are. I think if Harden can go at least 6, maybe 7, we may not really need Bob, and certainly not in a game of any importance.

I finally get to chime in with my thoughts here....

First off Why are people thinking that facing the Mets would have been a cake walk?

I dont know about you but the chance of facing Johan twice in a series??? UHH NO THANK YOU.

Also Delgado, Wright, Reyes, Beltran scare me ALOT more then Manny, Either, Kemp and Kent. Just my opinion.

Seems like we where dreading the fact of facing the D-Backs, and would have rather seen the Dodgers anyway.. Now we got our wish and watch the Mets.
