Cubs must win.

[Brundlefly]

Cubs, you owe Philly big time. We gave you Ryan Sandberg and Ferguson Jenkins for virtually nothing. You must beat the Astros today.

[Ming]

I wouldn't mind seeing the Cubs knock the Astros out of the playoffs

But a win isn't enough for Philly... they too have to win just to get into a tie situation.

So... since the chances for Philly are grim... and I have Ozwalt in a fantasy league...

GO HOUSTON. It doesn't matter to the Cubs

[Imran Siddiqui]

Though Ryan Howard should definetly get the RoY.

[asleepathewheel]

As always, the Cubs never fail to disappoint.

[-Jrabbit]

Too bad they couldn't get this one for Mad Dog.
I see D. Lee failed to get his 200th hit, too. Still won the batting title.

Dusty and Hendry got the sub-.500 season they deserved.
Idiots.

[Theben]

You gave us hell in the 80's with Mike Schmidt. Cubs owe Philly nothing.

[Sava]

two things about Houston...


1. WTF is with that goddamned train that sounds its horn every time Houston scores a run? it's more annoying than the stupid Viking horn that Minnesota plays whenever the Vikings get a first down... and what does a train have to do with the Astros? shouldn't there be like a rocket ship or something?

2. After Houston won the game, the Scoreboard said "Wild Card 2005 Champions..." You aren't Champions of anything you morons... you are just the wild card team. The team that wins the world series is the Champion... dumbasses

I hope the Padres or Atlanta goes to the world series... I don't like St. Louis, I hate the Astros... god.... I REALLY HATE THE ASTROS...

and Roger Clemens is probably a steroid user... no way that guy isn't on the juice


and what about Cleveland?

all last month everyone is saying TEH WHITE SOX ARE CHOKERS ZOMFG... well you know what? CLEVELAND CHOKED... they lost 6 out of their last 7 and the White Sox swept them in the last series of the year... they missed the playoffs...

all I heard is "ZOMFG teh Indians are playing .700 ball, they are the best team in baseball, they will win the world series..." TOO BAD YOU HAVE TO MAKE TEH PLAYOFFS TO WIN THE WORLD SERIES MORONS!!! HAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAH

although, I would rather have Travis Hafner and Sizemore instead of Rowand and Jermaine Dye...

I hope teh White Sox can beat teh Red Sox... but I don't think they will...

plus, nobody outside of Chicago wants the White Sox to win... the National Media wants the Red Sox to win...

East Coast bias is bull****

they just want another Yankees versus Red Sox ALCS

I hope it's Angels vs White Sox

and then Padres versus Atlanta in the NLCS

then the White Sox beating the National League winner (I don't care which NL team) and being the first Chicago world series winner in like over 85 years

that would make this season awesome... better than last year

screw Boston...

they probably wouldn't even make a 2 star romantic comedy movie starring some washed up Saturday night live douche (jimmy fallon) and some not even that hot actress (drew barrymore) about the White Sox winning the world series... that just goes to prove there is an East coast bias...

[Imran Siddiqui]

No, it just goes to prove that no one likes Chicago .

[The Emperor Fabulous]

Didn't the Cubs win the World Series in "Rookie of the Year"?

[Imran Siddiqui]

And if you actually saw that movie (I'm embarrassed to say that I did), you'd know that no one likes Chicago. They were the team forced to be the main team in that movie .

[DerSchwarzfalke]

If the Phillies were serious about getting to the postseason, they'd remove Jimmy Rollins and his career 93 OBP+ from the top of their lineup. How many fewer men were on base this year when Abreu, Burrel, and Howard came to bat thanks to Rollins?

I saw the movie. But then, I was about 7 at the time...
