yeah, it's weird, I'm in Hawaii and my feed is way faster than that of L.A. I was talking to a buddy there while watching the game earlier, and we realized I wasn't just a little ahead, but a lot.when I saw your post, I realized my TIVO was behind a couple minutes.Anyway,
Tried explaining to my gf what a big win this was. Me

A) I was wrongB) Anything can happen in the playoffsI see your Brewers avatar. Nice. It's interesting to me that the biggest d-bags in this thread are not Dodger fans.ORLY?????
I'll give you that you were right. If you really expected a Dodger sweep then you should move to Vegas. Not bagging on the Dodgers - but tonight was the only game they "won" 3-1. The Cubs gave away the first two and Harden was at 90 tonight (read not 100%). The Dodgers still had to take them, and they did. I must give them their due there.The Cubs absolutely sucked this series. Yes it was partially due to the Dodgers pitching but 97 wins tell me they were much better than they showed in this series.Again, not trying to sound like sour grapes - I sincerely wish you guys good luck.
Thanks guy. Kicked any dogs lately?Couldn't happen to a better team.1908 and counting.
So, you're saying that basically the Dodgers didn't earn this series because the Cubs gave it to them. OK.
Not at all. I think I've been clear about that in all my posts. The Dodgers won the series, deserved to win and have a really good team.I was responding to a single posters comments and my interpretation of those comments. That's all.
Is it too late to change my pick to Dodgers in 3?Congrats to the Dodgers! Their SP were fantastic, and they got key hits when they needed them. Their lineup is so much better with Furcal hitting 1st and Manny hitting 3rd. At the start of the playoffs, I was saying they were my sleeper team to make the World Series. I really think they will make it now, no matter if they play Philly or Milwaukee.

These things have a funny way of turning around. Look at the 2003 versus 2004 Red Sox. I root for teams that have been long-suffering. You can't fault Cubs fans for supporting their team through thick and thin.
Manny's had a huge effect upon that lineup, but Furcal's effect is if anything equivalent believe it or not. He's a catalyst, not only by being a good leadoff hitter, but simply through his personality and by being aggressive. He's a leader. If you want to see what I'm talking about, look at the Dodgers' April 2008 offensive stats (when they had a healthy Furcal) versus May-July (which was pre-Manny and with Furcal on the DL). It was day and night.curta269 said:
Dodgers fans felt like you did in the 1990's when the Piazza-led teams couldn't win a playoff game and, in at least one instance, collapsed down the stretch and couldn't even reach the post-season. It was awful.Your team doesn't suddenly lose that talent. If that team continues to build, they'll be fine. I think they're going to break through.KW4523 said:

Neither did most Dodger fans, as this is the first time we've really been able to see Furcal and Manny in the same lineup. Hopefully Kuo can get healthy for the next round - it would be great to have him as an option out of the bullpen.Green94 said:Had no idea how good this Dodger team was.
11 - 1 to win the World Series.You've got about 3 hours to get down on it. Make haste.Might wanna get your Dodgers cap before any of this, as well.
I'm telling you, outside of quiting tobacco, nothing's been better for my health.I highly recomend it. As a matter of fact, I think I'm going to start a 12 step program for other people that are smart enough to consider following my lead.TheWalkmen said:
Tell me, sweetacn. Can we consider ####odome a disaster yet?Oh, andTheWalkmen said:

Trust me sweetcan, I've taken it easy on the decent Cub fans like Wrigley and Boom. They are realistic fans that deep down knew not to get their hopes up too high, because in the end, they're still the Cubs.However, it's the fools like yourself that I'm laughing the hardest at.
??????????####udome is borderline disaster at the plate no doubt. Hopefully he improves against major league pitching with one full year under his belt.......And I'm willing to go out on a limb and say that every other loyal cub fans' (including Wrigley and Boom) hopes were too high due the result. But any baseball educated fan would have classified the Cubs as the one of the best, if not THE Best team in the National league on paper. So how were the hopes (too) high? I believe in high hopes when you're team is good....or even when they aren't that good for the matter. Isn't that #1 criteria for a Loyal fan? Fans can say whatever they want but deep down there are always high hopes. I know quite a few people who have changed sides in Chicago in my lifetime and that's cool, but it's apparent that those people including you Limpy, never really were a loyal fan in the first place.
