I have to admit...my interest is piqued. This road trip will give a good indication if the Cubs are going to contend...or just barely be relevant...

They just traded Kevin Hart and a couple of minor league guys for two Pirate left handed relievers. That sounds more like a Cubs of old trade...

I think my Bravos are going to find out a little about themselves this weekend as well. Playing their best of the season since the All Star break (Despite dropping 2/3 to Florida). They're finally over .500 for the first time all season and have the Dodgers coming in for 3. Take 2 of 3 from L.A. and we may have something going here. Drop em' and...well...

Agreed. But we are still on the bottom of a long uphill trek. What are we, like, 9 games out from the Phils? We won't take the division. The only hope is the wild card, and you gotta be MUCH better then .500 to take that.

If the bats work, the pitching will do it's job. It's been a long time since I've been this comfortable with our starters/relievers/and closers. Once Huddy comes back, we either need to demote to AAA or move Kawakami to a middle reliever role. He is way under expectations at this point (case in point, giving up a 3 run HR to a fucking pitcher during tTuesday's game.)

Well...in Hendry's defense...we only had 1 lefty coming out of the pen. One. There were times when Pinella didn't know wether to bring in Marshall for the lefty specialist or keep him. The Cubs got 2 lefties to put in the pen for help. They might not be great, but they can be specialist now for maybe one hitter if need be. Hart was really a suprise anyway. The Cubs have a solid rotation when everyone is healthy, so if they can get some left handed help in the pen...I am all for it.

With that being said, the Cubs lost 5-2 today. I just can't get too excited yet, because the first part of this half season has been against week opposition. We shall see. I am interested, but I refuse to get my hopes up...

We let one slip away last night. I'm afraid that one will come back to haunt us. So many missed opportunities to win it.

How the fuck do you lose by double digits to the worst team in baseball?

I couldn't agree more. I stayed up to watch it just to be disappointed.

Chipper hasn't gone on the DL this season, which is a miracle, but he's playing very, very tired. Prado is dizzy. McClouth has a bum hammy. Church's pussy hurts. Huddy won't be back until (finally) next month. It is an uphill battle for the Wild Card, and you gotta have wins against the shitty teams, but the Bravos can't seem to win series against the Padres.

It did a little math, and I think the best we can hope for is for the Rockies and/or Dodgers to play .500 ball the rest of the way. Now that is only a best case scenario. If that were to happen, the Braves would need to go 24-13 during our last 37 games to catch the Rockies.

More likely, we'll need to go at least 27-10 the rest of the way to even have a chance. Very hard to do, but not impossible. Our best chance at this point is probably a Dodgers collapse, as they have really been struggling lately.

I don't like your math. Did you carry the one?

Roy O declared the Disastros to be "dead". I am sure he feels as tho his shitty pitching had NOTHING to do with that overall sense of "just get the fucking season over with so we can move on...".

We should have traded his whining, injury prone ass in the offseason...

Why don't y'all just go ahead and change your name to the St Louis Pujols? You better pray he stays healthy - or y'all are done. Talk about a one man show...

On the other hand, at least you have a show to watch. I have not watched more than 15 minutes per game of that travesty that passes for baseball in this town for weeks. I haven't gone to but one game - the boss's home plate seats (can't pass those up). No listening on the radio. It has been so damn depressing, I don't even care anymore.

AUJarhead · « **Reply #37 on:** August 31, 2009, 11:31:12 AM »

Actually, it's been starting pitching the last month or so. Pujols has been in somewhat of a funk. I think we've only scored 6+ in 3 games in the past 2 weeks.

Carp and Waino have to be considered top 4, at worst, for the Cy Young. If Piniero had run support the first half of the year, he'd easily have 15 victories. I'll take any staff when John Smoltz is the #5.

Yep. I read some stat some where that The Cards are like 27-3 since July 2nd when their top 3 start. That's ridiculous...

Starting pitching, adding Holliday and Ludwick stepping up behind him. We're just much better offensively this year.

As Jarhead said, Carp has been great. Wainright is leading the Majors with 16 wins. Smoltz has come alive in St. Louis....

Pujols is a major cog leadership wise, but he's not the only weapon anymore.
