    When you look at a WAR over 100
    The 650+ stolen bases
    The 1800+ walks
    The OBP. over .390
    I am going with Morgan. Everytime.

    I used to be one of those who just looked at batting average, home runs, and fielding percentage....And came to the conclusion Sandberg was the better player.
    But after further review, I would take Morgan in a heartbeat.

    WAR is the single most over rated, non existent stat in all of sports.

    WAR is all fine and dandy. I'd go out on a limb and say Morgan had a little bit more protection in his lineup than Sandberg had, and had a much different roll on his team. There's a little bit more pressure when your the run producer. Both great players in their own right. I'll take Sandberg over Morgan any day of the week.

    Brutal. When you get a runner on 2b with no outs down 1 you HAVE to tie the game. Inexcusable.

    I don't get to watch many games on TV. I listen to all of them on radio. So what happens when I get an opportunity to spend a nice Saturday watching the game?

    The Cubs manage 2 hits.

    Or to clinch on their field and act like it's no big deal because they understand there will be more to celebrate.

    Yep. I feel like that's what did them in last year. They celebrated wayyyy too much over winning the NLDS, didn't go prepared into the NLCS and got spanked.

    Totally agree. I'm not saying they shouldn't take a minute and enjoy their rare Chicago Cubs accomplishments, but it definitely felt like they went hard last year. It just seems that when teams do that, it makes a big moment even bigger. When they grasp the magnitude of how big and real things were last October, they were already down 2-0 and the series was over. For them, their fans and the Mets.

    A nice 1-2 hour clubhouse only (no media) party after clinching the division would do me jist fine.

    Anyone just see that great play by Heyward, and subsequent low class move by the cardinals fan? Guy tried to rip his glove off. Can't say I've ever seen something quite like that before. Best fans in baseball eh?
