It's the bottom of the 8th and the Cubs and Marlins are tied 6-6. It would be awesome if the Cubs won, and then if the Red Sox beat the Yankees. Cubs and Red Sox World Series...hell yeah...plus they haven't had much success in YEARS!

Well the Cubs lost the first game, but won the second one so now the series between the Marlins and the Cubs is 1-1. And the Red Sox beat the Yankees last night, hell yeah, so they're leading the series 1-0 over the Yankees. Cubs vs. Red Sox World Series, hopefully.

OMG I never thought of that...The world might blow up or something if that happens....

Re: Re: Baseball Divisional Playoffs
 

It would be awesome though...both teams have waited so long for a World Series Championship..I really want both teams to go.

Re: Re: Re: Baseball Divisional Playoffs
 

Well you'll just keep dreaming because the Yankees WILL beat the Red Sox and face the Cubs in the World Series. Dusty Baker has done an amazing job in Chicago. He should definitely win manager of the year.

Re: Re: Re: Re: Baseball Divisional Playoffs
 

Don't speak so soon, anything can happen..., and if the World Series isn't the Red Sox vs. Cubs, I won't be extremely pissed because I'm rooting for Chicago anyway. I just wish the Yankees wouldn't go every damn year, but what can you do.

Re: Re: Re: Re: Baseball Divisional Playoffs
 

Given the chance to vote I'd actually vote McKeon for manager of the year over Baker. Took a team that had been 10 under .500 (7 under when he took over) and led them to the NLCS.

Take it from someone who's seen over 150 cubs games this year, Dusty's been great, but the real reason the Cubs are where they are is GM Jim Hendry.

Here's his moves so far.

Traded TODD FRICKEN HUNDLY for Eric Kerros and Mark Grudz-a-whatever
Traded 2nd base prospect bobby hill and some no name A-ball pitchers for Kenny Lofton and Armanes Ramerez
Traded another no namer for Randal Simon
Traded another no namer for Doug Glanville
Signed relievers Mike Remlenger, Dave Veres, Mark Guthre and starter Sean Estes (Remlenger is the only one of those 4 that's still pitching well, but we would not have made the playoffs without Guthre or Veres, and Estes won 8 games as a starter.)
Signed catchers Damion Miller and Paul Baco (yeah, ok, so he almost signed Ivan Rodreguez, which would have been GREAT, but Miller and Baco were 100 times better than the platoon of Hundly and Girardi last year).

People wonder why this Cubs team isn't playing like a typical Cubs team, that's exactly it right there, it's NOT a typical Cubs team, it's a team that was built to win NOW not in 5 years, which the Cubs have been trying to do forever.

Sorry for the double post.

DUDE, it's Noa-maaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh

Hey, mods, can we change this thread title to "Baseball League Championship Series" and give it a stickey?

Haha, did anyone else see Perdro throw Zimmer to the ground? Classic! Almost as good as Lasorda falling down at the all-star game a couple of years ago.

Re: Baseball League Championship Series
 

That was GREAT.


But I'm not saying anything else about the yankees losing, because they always make me look like a fool when I do.

So the Yankees beat the Red Sox 4-3, and the Cubs! beat the Marlins 8-3. The Yankees lead the series 2-1, and the Cubs lead the series 3-1 only one win away from the world series.

Not even god himself can stop the Cubs now =-D

Re: Baseball League Championship Series
 

Yay for the cubs.. They've been my favorite team since I was little and now there going :)

Damn the Cubs lost last night, 4-0. I hope they win their next game.

Re: Baseball League Championship Series
 

Hey, it's called Complete Game Shutout. The 28' Yankees wouldn't have hit Josh Beckett yesterday.

Mark Prior pitches Tuesday night, and the Cubs will win the pennant I'll bet anyone anything on that.
