View Full Version : I just listened to "In Defense Of The Genre"

08/05/08, 06:06 PM
really thoroughly for the first time,

and I caught 3 of the guest vocals, Gerard Way, Matt Skiba, and Hayley whatsherface,

I don't enjoy MCR and Paramore that much and I'm sort of amazed I picked those voices out without looking em up,

any other guest vocals on here?

See, I didn't really listen to the songs enough to realize a guest vocalist was there,

if I had I would have certainly gotten Jordan Putnik and Chris Conley, and probably Kenny Vasoli.


So, when he says "In defense of the genre" he considers all these collaborators "the good guys"

Not to burst your bubble or anything, but how on Earth could you ever argue that? I like Say Anything here and there (loved the Is a Real Boy LP, liked a few songs off the new one), but talent does not instantly equal quality. People could walk all over you with this.

Pretentious? saying i'm "missing out" on "one of the best bands in music" is way more pretentious than me pointing out that we don't need anymore pointless say anything threads.

of course, like most people here, your definition of pretentious is basically "I DISAGREE WITH YOU" instead of what it actually means.

x togepi x
08/08/08, 01:05 AM
I dunno man. That series is at Wrigley, right? If we sweep you guys like we did with the Brewers that's another three games back.

You swept us when we didn't have a pitching staff at all. I don't think we'll get swept again. We won't take the series, but if we don't get swept, then we can hang in there. Then we just have to make up ground in August/September. We have the hardest schedule out of the three leading central teams, but if we can't win in these months, then we have no place getting into the playoffs anyway.

Carpenter/Wainwright coming back is a lot like trading for a good pitcher, and most of the losses the cardinals are incurring happen because of the bullpen, which is overworked because the current starters aren't going long enough. Once Carpenter starts going 7 innings again, things will be a bit more stabilized. Wainwright's going back into the bullpen, which means he'll probably be a closer giving the cardinals an 8th inning of McClellan and 9th of Wainright, which is pretty impressive. That leaves people like Springer (who's pretty lights out) for situational pitching, and takes the pressure off people like Franklin, Izzy and Villone.

The key here is the last series of the season for the Cubs is Cubs/Brewers so as long as the cardinals can stay close, they can just surge ahead at the end. I'm not sure if you're aware, but the Brewers swept the Cardinals a few weeks ago, and then last week, the cardinals had like a 9 game winning streak to come back to be tied for the wild card.

Genuma
08/08/08, 01:11 AM
Yeah, I get the whole pitching situation. That's how it works, though. Cubs had shit for pitching the past couple years and now we got our act together, you guys were lucky just to have more minor injuries. Now that you'll have Carpenter and Wainwright back it's going to help out quite a bit, but even your guys offense hasn't been too great against the other teams in our divison. I'd rather see the wild card go to you guys, I like some Cardinals - Cubs rivalry, it beats Brewers fans thinking their team matters because they were slightly above average this year. We'll see how the series turns out. Cubs made some pitching changes too and we'll see how all fo that works out for both of us.
