NLDS- Cubs vs. Diamondbacks

[xbrokendownx]

Game 1- Wednesday 10:00PM EST

Zambrano vs. Webb

[youkwalks]

Arizona pitching will have to dominate

[LeftWideOpen]

i think the cubs have the edge in depth and w/ the guy in the dugout, which i think becomes even more valuable in October.

Cubs in 4.

[kshtoinks12]

This is the series I'm least interested in by far.

[bjam12]

I'm pretty fired up for this series and I like the Cubs chances. Z needs to come up big tomorrow night but I at least want to see a split in Arizona and I'll be happy.

[StandMyBrothers]

go D-backs

[mondeoman]

This series isn't going to be that good. But I'm from Arizona and everyone out there loves the Cubs so that'll be funny to watch. Cubs in 4?

[StandMyBrothers]

Steve Bartman for President

[bjam12]

Steve Bartman for President

Bartman had nothing to do with the Cubs losing in 2003.

[bjam12]

Cubs line-up for game one:

LF Alfonso Soriano
SS Ryan Theriot
1B Derrek Lee
RF Cliff Floyd
3B Aramis Ramirez
2B Mark DeRosa
CF Jacque Jones
C Geovany Soto
P Carlos Zambrano


Very happy to see Soto get the start over Kendall at catcher.

Why you should want them to win: Jamie Moyer. Jamie Moyer. A thousand times Jamie Moyer. Also would serve as proof that you don't need pitching, defense, and fundamentals to win in the playoffs as long as you can bludgeon your opponent to death.
Why you should want them to lose: Brett Myers. Brett Myers. A thousand times Brett Myers. And Greg Dobbs shouldn't win one World Series ring until Justin Leone has three.
http://www.lookoutlanding.com/images/admin/chc.gif
Why you should want them to win: A lot of people still love Lou Piniella, and would like to see him win after having so much frustration in Seattle. Team hasn't won since 1908, making Red Sox Nation look like a bunch of impatient little sissies. Fan base should be rewarded for consistently filling up the ballpark, even when the team totally sucks.
Why you should want them to lose: The world does not need Alfonso Soriano and Carlos Zambrano to be rammed down its throat, nor does it need Chicago's fan base to become the new Boston. Championship robs countless man-to-man conversations of "I'm in a longer dry spell than the Cubs" punchline. Futility = hilarious. Fans should be encouraged to get jobs rather than sit around Wrigley drunk off their asses all day.

(I can't be bothered to upload the new logo. Shut up.)
Why you should want them to win: Nice big middle finger to the Pythagorean spirit that so thoroughly destroyed our season. Also a big middle finger to the belief that you need experienced veteran leadership come October. Bob Melvin is a better manager than we ever gave him credit for. Brandon Webb is like a more awesome version of Cleveland's Carmona.
Why you should want them to lose: Why should a bad run differential catch up with us and not the biggest offenders? Pathetic fan support. Still angry about Conor Jackson. Don't need people to start treating Eric Byrnes like some kind of superstar. Seeing a .500-caliber team win the Series crushes any illusions people might have about the playoffs proving who really is the best team in baseball.

[vandalroyale]

Wow-- There's a lot of Cub fans in Arizona

[DaveFeelsRight]

Wow-- There's a lot of Cub fans in Arizonaseriously, they are in every state

[Drew Beringer]

Go Diamondbacks! Fuck Zambrano, one of the most overrated/overpaid pitchers in the game.

[DaveFeelsRight]

When Drew K'd a huge roar went up from the crowd...I was really surprised

So you're a White Sox fan?

haha yeah. Fuck the Cubs.

[Drew Beringer]

lol the TBS announcers are stupid, he just said that Chris Young led the ML Rookies with 32 home runs.

uh that would be Ryan Braun, dumbasses.

[mikearduini9]

Let's go Cubbies!

how can people seriously say the Mets collapse was the worst of all time? Are people that dumb to forget the 1995 Angels collapse? Their playoff probability was like 99.98%

[mikearduini9]

There we go Cubs

[Drew Beringer]

enough about the meat jackpot!
haha I hate that commercial.

[Drew Beringer]

Well that was bullshit. At least the Bears suck ass.

how can people seriously say the Mets collapse was the worst of all time? Are people that dumb to forget the 1995 Angels collapse? Their playoff probability was like 99.98%Yeah, in their defense though, the same site I saw that stat on, it said the Mets, if they collapsed, would be the 2nd greatest fall.

[DaveFeelsRight]

wooooooooo

of course what a fuck tard of a cubs fan

Yeah, in their defense though, the same site I saw that stat on, it said the Mets, if they collapsed, would be the 2nd greatest fall.
1. 1995 California Angels
Peak Playoff Probability: 99.988% after games of August 20th
Odds of Collapse at Peak: 8,332-to-1 against
Record at Peak: 66-41 (http://www.baseball-reference.com/games/standings.cgi?date=1995-08-20), 9.5 games ahead of the Rangers (http://www.baseballprospectus.com/team_audit.php?team=TEX) and 12.5 Games ahead of the Mariners in the AL West; 12.0 games ahead of the Yankees for the Wild Card
Record after Peak: 12-26
I posed this in the form of a trivia question to our internal mailing list: Which team had the worst playoff chase collapse of all-time? I got one guess for the 1964 Phillies, one for the 1978 Red Sox, one for the 1962 Dodgers (who rank 17th), and three for the 1951 Dodgers. Only Rany suggested the 1995 Angels, and that is because he has the best memory of anyone in our group (Christina Kahrl (http://www.baseballprospectus.com/news/index.php?author=35) being a close second) and recalled Clay’s original article.
But in fact the answer isn’t even close. The 1951 Dodgers' odds were 384-to-1 against missing the playoffs, while the Angels were more than 8000-to-1 against. In fact, even if you ignore the Wild Card possibility, and looked only at the divisional race, this would still rank as the worst collapse of all time. With 38 games left to play, the Angels a combined 24.5 games ahead of the Mariners and Yankees, the two teams that would eventually pass them in making the playoffs. It took a perfect storm of events to knock the Halos out of the race—two distinct losing streaks of nine games apiece, plus the Yankees and Mariners each winning two-thirds of their games—and even then they still had the chance to redeem themselves in a one-game playoff against the Mariners. It's interesting to also note that if the Mariners had blown that playoff game, because the Angels played so badly that the M’s opened up a three-game lead at one point, the '95 Mariners would rank 13th on this list.

[DaveFeelsRight]

cubs lose!

[christopher™]

nice win

[CarlMonday]

that neon sign thing was so strange

[bjam12]

Good pitcher's dual tonight as expected. Lou pulled Z too early though. 85 pitches through 6, he was cruising and could have easily pitched one more. Sucks losing game one but if we can win tomorrow you can't complain about being tied 1-1 going back to Chicago. Lose tomorrow though and it's over.

Dick Stockton threw out some gems last night.

He called Aramis Ramirez "Rodrigo Ramirez".

He announced tonight's starter as "Don Davis" instead of Doug Davis.

And, said that Valverde shared time as closer last year with "Julio Jorge".

[crit]

Dick Stockton is still infinitely better than the two clowns calling the Sox/Angels

Hey, I love Dick Stockton - there's just something about him. But, it's fun to poke fun at all the mistakes he makes. Nothing will top Adolpho Soriano.

haha, i didnt get to hear any of last night's game, and just sat down to watch the game tonight. thats pretty bad though.

on paper the cubs should beat the d-backs. but right now it looks like the d-backs are finding ways to score and pitching pretty effectively.

[livethesounds]

damn, i'm surprised the d-backs are doing the cubs like this.

lilly's done. this game has been on nearly 2 hours and only in the 4th.

[rcrook]

Thank you for that 1995 memory Scott. Greatly appreciated.

[ForlrnPerplxity]

The DBacks are doing exactly what they've done all year long.

I would love for them to sweep the Cubs.

[Broken Parachute]

Jerry DiPoto does scouting/player personnel for the D-Backs? Hahaha, wow that's a name I haven't heard in a long time.

[LeftWideOpen]

wow, so nobody cares about this series huh? haha

diamondbacks look great .. if doug davis is a legit #2, they may beat the rockies and lose to the red sox in the world series!

[DaveFeelsRight]

7-2.


seeing the cubs lose in the playoffs makes up for the sox not making it.

[Drew Beringer]

SQUEEZE!

x nice

lol I just saw ted lillys reaction when he gave up the bomb to Young....priceless

there seems to be a theme in all todays games.

ass kickings.

[tambo41187]

big lack of interest for this game, figures it has been boring as hell unless you are a d-backs fan.

[Scott Weber]

fuckin cubs.

[Flags of Dawn]

lol @ the cubs.

[kbauer]

i dont get the diamond backs and how theyre this good. i mean i get why theyre a playoff team but with how theyve handled a damn good team in the cubs they look like thy could be a world series team.

just think the nlcs could very well be colorado vs. arizona. pretty sure no one seen that coming, even a week ago.

[StandMyBrothers]

go Livan Hernandez

[bjam12]

lol @ the cubs.

lol at the Brewers sitting at home.


Embarrassing tonight. No chance we come back in the final two innings. I give the D-Backs credit, when the put guys on base they plate them. Cubs had opportunities tonight and they didn't get the clutch hits. Hopefully we can win game three to at least make this series competitive.

To answer your first question, I'm still wondering myself. But, what I've learned from these first two games is they do all the little things right (taking the extra base, moving the guy over, clutch hitting with two outs). Their bullpen is real good. And, of course Webb is one of the best pitchers in the game, while the rest of the starters are solid. Still, they don't have a starter hitting over .300 and nobody outside of Byrnes really scares you in the line-up - but they find ways to manufacture runs.

at least we don't have 300 mil invested on embarassment.

[yeknom]

i hate cubs fans around here, this is hilarious.

[DCfreak]

ANYTIME i get to watch cubs fans cry i feel like i am on top of the world.

[bjam12]

at least we don't have 300 mil invested on embarassment.

If you're talking about the 300 mil spent on free-agents this past offseason, then I wouldn't call Soriano, Lilly, DeRosa, Ramirez, Wood, Marquis, Ward, Floyd and Blanco embarassing. Those were some damn good signings and without them we wouldn't be in the playoffs.

[Drew Beringer]

300 million for 85 wins? I guess if that's good enough for you, then more power to ya.

[LeftWideOpen]

... lets keep things in perspective. people were calling others around here crazy in spring training for predicting the cubs to finish 2ND in the division.

i'd say this season was a success for the cubs.

[Flags of Dawn]

300 million to lose in the first round of the playoffs. still.

[bjam12]

We went from worst to first in the division. Can't do much better than that. I expect an even better team next season.

Your team fucking sucks, they only reason your in the playoffs is because of the embarrassing division your in. You were only 8 games over .500, thats nothing to brag about. There are almost 5 other teams in the NL that had better winning percentages then the cubs. Cubs fans will do anything to kiss the teams ass and not face the facts. I went to about 7 cubs games this year, you wouldn't believe how many people leave the game after the beerflow stops in the 7th.

What am I oblivious to? You keep making the most mundane points that mean nothing.. *If they were in any other division they wouldnt get in*....*they almost choked*...They ARENT in any other division and they DIDNT choke. I never said this would be the year, Im a Cub fan but Im realistic about it. Most people were calling on the Cubs the beat the D-backs but I saw how the Cubs played against them in the regular season and the Cubs record at D-backs place is atrocious so Im not suprised.

The cubs on the verge of being swept is proving my point that they are in the playoffs where they don't belong.

Also, the great Soriano-Lee-Ramirez trio had a HUGE series so far, way to go guys.

Where they dont belong? Hahahaha, they won their division, they earned their shot and they stunk. You HAVE to be a sox fan, haha.

[TasonJate]

They don't belong there, there are plenty of teams that deserve that spot more then the cubs, they just so happen to be LUCKY enough to be in the shittiest division in the league.

First off, I'm a realistic fan and anyone that's been on this forum all season would know that. So, I don't expect them to win the World Series this year or even get there. I'm happy to see them in the postseason after last year's disaster. However, I would argue your point that they don't deserve to be in the playoffs and your comments about only 8 games over .500. They had a horrible start the season and were one of, if not, the best team in the NL after June 1. It took awhile for Lou to get used to his players and tinker with the line-up.


hahaha your one of the oblivious douches saying "This is the year" arent you ?

I'm assuming you're a White Sox fan which I don't know why I'm wasting my time even responding to your posts.

it was nothing new to me, typical cub player fasion, it ranks behind their own players fighting each other in the dugout and Lee throwing a punch, missing and running away.

I thought it was hilarious when Lilly did that. At the same time I was surprised because Lilly is usually stoic and doesn't show much emotion, so when he did that I was kind happy to see it.

[bjam12]

jpC5bdyYwCU

haha, that was so strange. The funny thing is, Izturis was traded about a week later after that incident.

[bjam12]

i would also like to point out that you have the least amount of wins for a playoff team.

85 wins. The most wins in the NL were 90.

So yes we did have the least amount of wins but the difference between the top team and the lowest team in the playoffs is only 5 wins over a 162 game season. Not much of a difference.

Let's face it, the whole NL as a whole was weak not just the Central.

[Scott Weber]

oh man, right now I do too. Stephen can play short which means no Lugo! and then Jacoby can play right and do nothing but get hits in every at bat and make great plays in the outfield because everything he does is amazing and I love watching him play!

Cubs are going to make some rash moves this off season and still suck.

sweet, can't wait to give my Ceramics teacher a hard time monday

I want the Cubs to be in the World Series next year. It'd be awesome for them to be in the WS on the 100th anniversary of their last World Series.

Congrats to the Diamondbacks. Not much else to say about this series.

yeah, since not too many teams can complain about having a bad century.

Drew just went boomshakalaka on Kerry Wood.

bye bye Cubbies.

Hahah...poor Drew. I thought the bitterness of choking away a playoff birth to the Cubs would have subsided by now. Guess not.

haha I don't really care, I hate the Cubs no matter what. The Brewers could have been 62-100 and I still would have posted that.

Anyways, I'm out like Ted Lilly.
