This is such a Cubs oriented website. It will be a nice fall if you guys can meet my BO SOX in the World Series.

Zambrano's on the hill right now. He throws flame. This shit should be illegal.

Their lineup is so crisp this year...honestly...everytime someone comes up to bat, I'm like "holy shit, I forgot they got him!!"

I didn't realize they picked up Derrick Lee until today. They really have quite the line-up. They will be damn good this year.

The Sexy Gun · 03-10-2004, 10:06 PM

For my initial post, I would just like to say that the Astros will go 162-0 this year.

Cubs can have the wildcard I guess.

Fuck you! Astros win 70 if they're lucky. The Cubs will win the Division, and later, the World Series.

While we're on the topic...care to make it interesting?

What makes you say that? They are all washed up from Biggio to Bagwell and especially to Clemens and Petitte. Astros won't even be able to hold the toilet paper the Cubs wipe with. I don't mind the Cubs, but I definately don't think anyone will compete with them in the N.L. Central this year. They have the best pitching staff in the majors and thats the bottom line. I'm glad we only have to see them maybe for one series all year. Although our pitching is good as well. [img]graemlins/shifty.gif[/img]

I would make a bet with you, but I've probably already wasted hundreds of dollars by placing bets on them to win the world series at tradesports and intertops.

I hear you. I've been known to donate some money to the high rollers on Party Poker from time to time. I love watchin those guys play $15/$30. I take notes on them in case I ever make it up to those limits. I'll tell you right now, TwoGunC sucks balls...rob that guy blind.

Ah, understandable. What, are you like about even on the month after going down $5,000 on the first day?

Haha. Indeed. I'd love to see them win the NL Central and knock the Cubs right out of the playoffs. Don't know that it'd happen, but I'm with ya, man.

So, will they be there watching the Yankees beat the Astros then? It's nice of each of the teams' rivals to come watch them in the big dance, since they can't make it there themselves.

Kinda like what the Cubs did to the Astros last year?

But you're right, it's just not going to happen.

-Ugly Bastard[/quote]That's what I was getting at...they're going to knock them out in the playoffs. 'stros will get the Wild Card and beat the Cubs on their way to the World Series.

As for the Yanks, they'll put the Sox in the back seat of the division (they'll get the Wild Card) and end up losing to them in the playoffs as well.

Come on guys, do you honestly believe that either the Cubs or the Sox are actually going to be in the World Series? They're fucking cursed for Christ's sakes.

So how long have the Astros been around? Oh...(since 1965 for those who are confused...not nearly as long as the Cubs)

So how many World Series have been won by the Cubs since then? Oh...

Oh...

They are an evil empire and they will not make it to the World Series. They'll be lucky to keep their coach and have Jeter and the other pre-madonna over paid no talent pretty boy get along. By that I mean A-Rod. And they wouldn't go watch the Yankees do anything unless it would mean the Yankees were jumping off the Empire State Building.

Ugly Bastard · 03-10-2004, 11:46 PM

Yeah you're right tonguegina. Keep rootin for those winning teams, it's noble work you're doing. In a few years when the inevitable cycle of "being a shitty team for a few years" sets in on some of your beloved franchises, I'll be curious to see how much you're standing by them then.

Either way, we'll let this season speak for itself. In October, we can see who was right and who was wrong.

The Sexy Gun · 03-12-2004, 01:36 AM

You'd think that the NL Central at least has a 50% shot of sending a team to the world series, which would be great for either team (fucken new Florida Marlins already winning it twice).

And yeah the $5k drop kidna sucked, but now I'm floating around evenness...won't be playing much for a bit b/c it's my finals season (we're on the quarter system at northwestern...which is basically the school's way of reinforcing that they hate us.)

I'd say 25% chance. Cubs or noone. Noone else is good enough at this point. Astros, Brewers, and Cards are all awful. The AL east will be a better division to watch. MY Bo Sox and the Yankees as always hate each other and always try to one up each other. The best rivalry in all of sports. And the Orioles and Blue Jays are looking sort of scary, but they need a few years I think.
