The ...The Cubs do not have a $300M payroll either. The Cubs spent $300M this offseason, but that's spread out over the next 7+ years with long-term contracts for Aramis Ramirez, Alfonso Soriano, and Carlos Zambrano and medium length deals to Mark DeRosa and some bullpen pitchers. <BR/><BR/>The Cubs came back from down 8 1/2 games and played a great 2nd half of baseball. They first had some housecleaning to do, and had to get used to playing together. The Yankees go on a great 2nd half run and are heroes, the Cubs do it and are cry babies? <BR/><BR/>The Cubs might have the 6th best record, or whatever, but right now they are playing the best baseball in the NL. Their starting pitchers are throwing well (Zambrano has won 3 of 4, and Lilly is solid), their bullpen has picked it up, and their power hitters are finally hitting for power. Who would have thought Derrek Lee would play a full season and only have 20 HR? Or Soriano barely breaking 30? But now, Soriano, Lee, and Ramirez are all starting to rake at just the right time!Natsfan74https://www.blogger.com/profile/02774593132826810650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-56782862453856776162007-09-24T16:14:00.000-04:002007-09-24T16:14:00.000-04:00I'm no Cubs fan but even I know that when your com...I'm no Cubs fan but even I know that when your competition is the Brew Crew you gotta take advantage of the fact that they have ZERO experience winning.GuyInTheCornerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10281686811471557576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-86075955485381924622007-09-24T15:19:00.000-04:002007-09-24T15:19:00.000-04:00I don't think Luke was held enough as a child.I don't think Luke was held enough as a child.chitown italianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05005966579859344446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-49272928012251470272007-09-24T15:17:00.000-04:002007-09-24T15:17:00.000-04:00For Cubs' fans:Your team should have wrapped up th...For Cubs' fans:<BR/><BR/>Your team should have wrapped up this division by September 1, forgetting youthful Milwaukee's surprising performance this year.<BR/><BR/>Instead, the Cubs took a loaded team and underperformed for most of the year.

Nobody mentions the Astros were putting their best possible team on the field, despite the rookie status of the pitchers involved. Or that the Brewers have had to pitch 2 rookies for a good chunk of the year as well. And umps don't blow calls that badly very often, let alone twice in the same game.<BR/><BR/>And obviously I prefer the Brewers in the playoffs instead of the Cubs, but it will still be sweet to see them lose. You are actually proud of a team with a $300 million payroll barely winning the worst division in baseball? I mean, it is one thing for me as a Brewers fan to be proud of that, as we haven't had a winning record in 15 years or made the post season in 25, but with $300 million, shouldn't you expect to make it?Luke Bellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15794556619520450782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-46946960812266215442007-09-24T14:38:00.000-04:002007-09-24T14:38:00.000-04:00not that it would take much to be a dark horse in ...not that it would take much to be a dark horse in the Big Ten this season.David Kippehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09873631867494898033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-64498194793304994152007-09-24T14:37:00.000-04:002007-09-24T14:37:00.000-04:00Purdue as a dark horse? what about MSU which is al...Purdue as a dark horse? what about MSU which is already voted in at 23 the USA Today poll.

Both teams fell short on game ending drives that could've easily had the "CHAMPS" at 1-2."<BR/><BR/>Don't make me laugh.. did you even watch the past 2 Colts games? The Colts D gave up a few 7-10 yard plays at the end before getting the takeaway to end the game. The only complaint I would make with that game was Peyton throwing incompletions after the 2min warning instead of draining the clock with J. Adai runs. That is the ONLY reason that game was remotely interesting in the final few seconds. But with that said, there was very little worry of the Titans truly finishing that drive off. And the Texans yesterday.. yeah, that last drive I believe went backwards before the clock mercifully ended it. Do you really think Houston was going to drive 80+ yards in 30 seconds with no timeouts? <BR/><BR/>How about them Boilermakers getting close to cracking the top 25. I think they did hit 25 on the ESPN poll, but were just outside on the AP. Might just be a darkhorse in the Big 10 this year.Erik Huntoonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02360667752111326811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-89384008964171984842007-09-24T13:38:00.000-04:002007-09-24T13:38:00.000-04:00Luke:$300 million apparently buys a trip to the pl...Luke:<BR/><BR/>$300 million apparently buys a trip to the playoffs just a year removed from a 90-loss season.

Crap like Mozz sticks and broccoli bites or junk like presliced meats or chicken tenders are all fast food. Sure you can get it at Bennigan's or say Hardee's and theonly difference is the wait that you have for your food. It is still crap. I think that if you don't make it yourself then it is fast food.
