October 13, 200322 yr The Chicago media is still confident that the Cubs making it to the World Series is a foregone conclusion. Now, I realize that beating Mark Prior in Game 6 and Kerry Wood in Game 7, if necessary, is a very tall order. However, beating both Prior and Wood can happen. I think the Marlins must take this confidence by the local media as bulletin board material. WHAT THE MARLINS HAVE TO DO IS PITCH LIGHTS OUT. BELIEVE/
October 13, 200322 yr beating them in back to back games is going to be very difficult, lets be honest, the odds are against us. but Prior wasnt perfect on Wednesday, the problem was we couldnt capitalize on our opportunities and Penny getting shelled. we pretty much beat Wood but the pen couldnt hold it. the odds are against us but they've been against us all year, the task at hand is not impossible

GO FISH!!!!!!! Beat the Evil Empire!!!!!! :usaflag
October 13, 200322 yr calling the Cubs an empire is like calling Iraq or Iran an empire... they were empires way back in biblical days
October 13, 200322 yr the media is also very good at making a$$es of themselves. they must like the taste of crow :shifty
October 13, 200322 yr Greatest thing i heard after Agonz threw to Dlee to get the last out of the game Commentator "And the Cubs will have to wait 48 hours till they can go to the World Series." I will remember this.....
October 13, 200322 yr Ugh... That is so true...the Chicago media is basically preparing for a celebration without even playing the game. Now, I do concede that beating Prior and Wood at home will be a tough task. However, the Marlins almost beat Wood Saturday night. I still say this should be a 3-2 Marlins' lead if it weren't for the Fish leaving the bases loaded twice. They almost choked away game 5 with leaving runners in scoring position again yesterday. Fortunately, Beckett pitched a whale of a game. Hopefully, Pavano can follow that up.
October 13, 200322 yr It's not just the media... I was at a Kohl's that was already selling Cubs World Series t-shirts. Getting a bit ahead of themselves there, I hope. Maybe those shirts will become a collector's item soon...

I think they may jinx it on themselves. BELIEVE!!!
October 13, 200322 yr hehe....from today's Palm Beach Post: South Side bars Believe it or not, there are Marlins in Chicago. Several bars on the city's South Side reportedly are offering free drinks to patrons who root for the Marlins. The South Side is White Sox territory, where Cubs fans dare not tread.

That's awesome!
October 13, 200322 yr Anyone remember the newpaper in the famous "Dewey Defeats Truman" photo? That would be the Chicago Tribune. Actually, I think it was called the Chicago Daily Tribune.

October 14, 200322 yr The marlins can for sure beat prior and wood-and hopefully they can get some good pitching performances also.
October 14, 200322 yr The marlins can for sure beat prior and wood-and hopefully they can get some good pitching performances also. I just thought of something. This forum has been around for over a year, has 600+ members, and nobody created the name "Marlins" until you. Original. :lol
October 14, 200322 yr The Chicago media are justified 100% to be confident they will win the NLCS. I think you guys are just having lost hopes.
October 14, 200322 yr wow... it sure would be incredibly embarrassing for cubbies if we really did do this--i say it happens... you gots to believe
October 14, 200322 yr wood -has been working 2 much and hes tired so we can beat him prior-only reason y we didnt get more than 2 runs vs him was bc we were losing by 2 much so we didnt try so hard we can beat them!!!!! GO MARLINS!!!!!!!!!!
