Who grounds into more DPs this series?

I say Loney because the guys up in front of him will probably get on base more. However, Loney might also sit if Lilly starts.

YEAH True Blue Crew!

I have some sympathy for the Cubbies, but its great to get a playoff win!

by mrbeen38 on Oct 1, 2008 7:52 PM PDT reply actions  

I live here in Chicago and trust me,

the Cubbies should get sympathy from no one. Their fans are just as bad as Red Sox fans if not worse. I was laughing my ass of last night. Nice one boys!
