redrope Posted September 28, 2003 Share Posted September 28, 2003 The Cubs are my team. By far. Ive been following them for the past few seasons closely, and its great that they are now in the playoffs. I hate to say it Oligarthy, but your pitching isnt very good. Ortiz has a ton of wins, but its only because your offense is insane. With that said, your high ERA is going to be our strong point because our pitching will be able to contain your offense enough to the point where we can get enough runs to win. At least thats my opinion. Good luck to you guys tho. I want a Red Sox v. Cubs World Series more than anything.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cubs World Series more than anything.. yeah i realize our starting pitching isnt quite what it used to be, but its still nothing to scoff at.. our bullpen on the other hand.. :s not so great.. maybe the offense will be able to carry them to a title, but i would put too much money on it based on the last 11 postseason runs.. and if the cubs knock us out in the first round, thats not all bad, i like the cubs too.. cubs/redsox would be an incredible series.. pretty much as long as the yankees dont win ill be happy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CatnipOligarchy Posted September 28, 2003 Author Share Posted September 28, 2003 haha i was just reading through last years playoff thread here.. its funny how hardly anyone gave the angels a shot at winning it all.. just goes to show how unpredictable the postseason can be..

ChicoCahill Posted September 28, 2003 Share Posted September 28, 2003 the sox will never make it to the series, they are terrible. You need more than one pitcher in the playoffs. Oh yeah, and yanks all the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IlliniPi Posted September 28, 2003 Share Posted September 28, 2003 I kinda want to root for the Cubs since they made it, and my Sox didn't. I really like the Cubs pitching, but I don't think they have enough offense to beat Atlanta's great pitching staff too. I'm not going to be fair weather and go with the Yanks like most would (:p) so I'll take the Twins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
static_geek Posted September 28, 2003 Share Posted September 28, 2003 "the sox will never make it to the series, they are terrible. You need more than one pitcher in the playoffs." Erm.ya ok..try 2 pitchers first off....Lowe and Pedro(as well an argument could be made for Wakefield). Secondly the Twins are a team made specifically to beat the Yankees.Defense and hot pitching go to the series. Hottest team since the break has been the Twins , thanks mostly to an above average bullpen. As for the NL the Cubs are everyones dark horse and they're scary cause they're 3 pitchers deep ,and their hitters are seein' the ball as well as anyone right now. Sentimentality dictates a Cubs/Red Sox series. Logic screams yanks /Giants series because and ONLY because they've been there before. But we all know that nothing ever goes as scripted(witness last years heavenly Angels),so imma sit back and see who the diamond gods bestow their favor upon this 2003,should be fun!

Dereck Lowe couldn't be the #2 man on any team in baseball I could name at least 10 teams that Derek Lowe could be the top starter on.. hes a good pitcher and could very well lead boston to a world series Edited September 29, 2003 by CatnipOligarthy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianicoleman Posted September 29, 2003 Share Posted September 29, 2003 You're an idiot. how is he an idiot? so derek lowe has a high walk/ strikeout ratio.. but witha 17-7 record, i dont see how he couldnt be the top starter on a third of any mlb team, like catnip said Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChicoCahill Posted September 29, 2003 Share Posted September 29, 2003 You're an idiot. Then how come he isn't even going to start game 2 for the sox. And his era and whip is higher than 4 yankee starters. He won 17 games because of run support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatnipOligarchy Posted September 29, 2003 Author Share Posted September 29, 2003 Then how come he isn't even going to start game 2 for the sox. Greg Maddux, Roger Clemens, and Mark Prior are all starting game 3 for their teams as well.. are you gonna try and tell me they arent good pitchers either? in a 5 game series, game 3 is crucial, and more and more teams are catching on.
