Classy sig. Even with all my trash talking of the Cards did I resort to such a low measure. I guess you're usually a White Sux fan, that's what I expect out of 'em.
im a diamondback fan
So why not a "Go D-Backs" picture?
that would have worked as well but i could have put a lot worse the cubs suck btw do you like my new sig better?

hope the diamondbacks absolutely embarrass the cubs.
The media is criminally underestimating the Diamondbacks, despite the fact they had the best record in the NL. Even the Cubs players are underestimating them, it seems like, so that could work in AZ's advantage.
I got the DBacks winning in 4.
The numbers speak against the D-Backs.
Runs Scored: 713 Runs Against: 732
Expected W/L: 79-83
Team Stats:
Batting Average: .250 (Last in NL)
Runs: 14th in NL
Hits: Last in NL
RBI's: 14th in NL
OBP: Last in NL
Honestly, it's a wonder how this team was able to have the highest win pct in the league, until you see that they were able to win 32 out of 52 1-run games, an amazing astonishment.
only 1 number matters that is wins
Agreed. I was just pointing out why the D-Backs are being "criminally underestimated"
i like the fact the dbacks are "criminally underestimated" as the other dback fan put it
except run differential is a pretty good predictor of postseason success. as Stark pointed out in his column today, 3 of the 4 teams who entered the playoffs with a negative run differential were immediately swept out of the postseason. the 4th had not one, but two cy young caliber pitchers.
According to Marc Normandin of BPro (premium content) the Dbacks finished with the best record in the NL AND maintained a negative run differential, they are the first team in the history of the game to do so...
so the dbacks all already made history so why not join the 87 twins and win it all

Now if only you were intelligent enough to put a sig in your profile without leaving a bunch of .html drool.
But nice try.
ok so im a re
well, anything can happen, but i'm still thinking their offense (or lack of) will be the death of them.
the 87 twins actually had a pretty good offense (puckett, hrbeck, gaetti, gagne), they just didn't have much depth in their starting pitching or bullpen.
however, once they got to the playoffs, they could shorten their rotation, and over-use viola and blyleven (and reardon at the back of the pen). they could combine to start 5 games out of every 7 game series.
in fact, in that postseason, the twinkies only won 1 game NOT started by one of those 2 guys.
well dbacks have 2 homeruns tonight so far none for cubs
now...if they could just pitch webb every game.
they have webb for 2 games if it goes 5 on regular rest
they have won without lots of runs in regular season
they can do the same in postseason
however I think they have been playing bad lately and do not expect much
they have sucked lately
I want them to win but I would not be surprised to see them lose
B. Lyon P perfect 8
Webb pitched a beauty for 7 innings, Lyon came in during the 8th and killed.
3-1, Diamondbacks, bottom of the 8th. If the DBacks win this series, it'll be their pitching that does it.
Gotta love seeing the rookie Reynolds hit a homer in his first postseason game.
pulling C. Zambrano at the start of the 7 could cost the cubs the series
yes you want him to pitch game 4 but he was one
foolish move
E. Byrnes is the vet and has sucked at batting tonight
