And the Cards making the postseason twice with juicers has exactly what to do with the Cubs history being more sad if we didn't have Sosa?
It's just pretty hypocritical to point out that the Cards have had a juicer or 2 when about the coolest thing to happen in the last 100 years, with the Cubs was done by a juicer.
Hey I didn't point it out Besides, Sosa was exciting for about 6 years in the late 90's/early 00's. Last 100 years or even the last 20, just a blip on the ol' Wrigley radar.
Because of Sammy Sosa? He made the postseason twice. Try again.
Well gee... That's the exact same number as the Cards with Peralta and McGwire. And those guys showed they could be pretty damn good without it.
I'd beg to differ on mcgwire.

He did indeed, cutz. Those 49 HR led the league, too. I will say for McGwire, at least he had the guts to admit taking andro while everyone else was running with their tails between their legs. And at the time of admission, it was not illegal in MLB nor was it federally classified as an anabolic steroid.
Sox-Cubs this weekend. I used to get so excited for these series, but now it's just kinda whatever. I'm just happy the Sox are playing well lately so hopefully they don't get embarrassed all weekend.
Yep. If the season ended today, we'd play at Pittsburgh in the WC game. 7 games over .500 at the break far exceeds my expectations for this team. If only we had 5 Jake Arrietas, we'd be about 77-10 right now.

Wild card is the Cubs ONLY option...And that's a shame
If the Cardinals go 37-36, the remainder of the year, they finish 93-69
The Cubs would have to go 46-29....17 games over .500, just to tie.
And that's not happening in a million years.
Take me piece by piece..... Till there aint nothing left worth taking away from me.....

I am pretty amped... heading down to the ATL on Sunday and Arrietas is the scheduled starter!!! hope to see some good baseball.

Yeah, the Cards, even with injuries are still the team to beat and show no signs of slowing down. Best case scenario, we catch up and pass the Rats. That's gonna be tough. Just got to keep winning and hope for the WC. But yeah....I expected this team to do much better this year, but didn't expect to be having the playoff talk this year.
I see a massive cardinals and pirates slide in the second half. I think the cubs catch the pirates and get the number 1 wild card seed. I don't think they will catch the cards. Even though I think they will make it interesting. I say they get within 5 games.

oh, he was good when he came in but got hurt and became a juicer. pretty sure he did more than andro.

Didn't McGuire say he did steroids his entire professional career? Including his rookie year?

I thought he used the tried and true "I only did them to recover from an injury" excuse aka the Pettite Defense.
but what do I know?

Pretty sure he simply said he used and didn't say anything too specific. Cards had him come out with it when they hired him as hitting coach to avoid the headache once the season started. He did dispute a lot of Canseco's book, but I don't remember if that was before or not.
And I'm still holding onto hope that the cubs go after Cueto.
I doubt they go after cueto, but God damn it, there's no reason not to go after Chapman. We need a closer almost as bad as we need an ace.
Jonathan Papelbon is looking like a good choice. And at this point, we might only have to give up Castro or Baez to get him. Good fucking riddance to either one of those clowns. Baez is a complete suckfest, and Castro is the dumbest... that's D-U-M-B-E-S-T... dumbest player in all of MLB.

I'd rather see Baez go. I wouldn't mind keeping Castro. He's only what, 26? This is by far his worst year offensively. It could be his best year defensively. He'll hit.
For 2 weeks I talked about getting Cubs tickets for todays game. For 2 weeks I checked stubhub every damned day. For 2 weeks!!! Then I got cheap and said "I am not spending $100 on tickets for a ballgame". What happens?
HE THROWS A NO-HITTER!!!!!
Take me piece by piece..... Till there aint nothing left worth taking away from me.....

And really? You're gonna call out the Cards for having users? Your history would be even sadder without the juice.

even if I look and act really crazy.
If the season were to end today, the Cubs would be a playoff team, right?
Wild card?
