STONE COLD LEAD PIPE DOCKS OF THE WEEK - WEEK 5

I'm pretty depressed after this Cubs series this week, so there won't be much of an opening for this one. FNL started back up this week, so check it out if you get a chance. Great show. Ip and myself both had winning weekends last week, so let's try to keep that going this weekend. Gluck...

IP's Pix:
(Last Week 3-2)
(Overall 10-10)

Colts at Houston (Colts -3) - Another one of those tough divisional match ups reader as the intensity in these games goes up quite a bit and the scores reflect this. Houston is coming off a tough OT loss to the Jags last week. They showed they can put up some points and hang with a team that many considered the class of the division. But don't discount Peyton Manning. With a broken down offensive line Peyton has managed to keep his team right in the thick of things and they seem to be getting healthy. Look for manning and the boys to pull this one out in Houston. Colts 27-17

Minnesota at Saints (Saints-3)- Can anyone stop Drew Brees? Nobody is talking about him and this team but they are quietly having a very productive offensive year. Reggie Bush is a difference maker and it seems no matter who they put out the Brees finds a way to make the players around him better. Adrian Peterson will have a good day against the Saints defense but it will not be enough with an inconsistent passing attack. Saints 30-17

Chargers at Dolphins (Chargers -7) - Chargers are about to go on that streak they go on in the middle of the season. They seem to hit there stride around this time of the season and separate themselves from the pack. As long as Philip Rivers continues his solid play the team will be fine. The defense will come around soon enough. Look for LT to go nuts this game. Chargers in a shootout 38-27.

Patriots at 49ers (Pats -3) – Coming off a whooping at the hands of the Dolphins, look for Belichucky's boys to be prepared and focused. Hoody probably had the team practice really well this week for a surprising Niners squad. Look for Moss to make an impact this game as he has been quiet all year. Patriots 24-14

LOCK OF THE WEEK:

Steelers at Jaguars ( Jags -4)- What a win on Monday night by Big Ben and the Steelers!!!! Great comeback and great game…but it came at a price. The Steelers are all banged up and just don't have the horses to match up with a physical Jaguars team. This couple with them playing this game on a short week due to the Monday night game makes it tough not to take the Jaguars. Look for Jacksonville to beat up the Steelers on both sides of the ball and win this physical game. Jaguars 21-10.

Vik's Pix:

(Last Week - 4-1)

(Overall - 13-7)

Pats (-3) at Niners - The Pats got embarrassed a couple of weeks ago, and they are angry. I feel like they are too good of a team not to bounce back this weekend vs the upstart Niners. The Hoody Master also had a bye week to prepare for the Niners, and that usually spells Doom for any Pats opponent. The Niners D is suspect and the Hoody master will find ways to put up pts in this one. I think the Pats will come out amped and well prepared for this game, and that should help them take care of business at SF. I will go with what I know best, and that's with the Pats in this one, especially after a bye week. Give the pts..

SHawks at Giants (Giants -7) - I know the 'Hawks are getting Engram and Branch back this weekend, and their offense should be better after this bye week, but I just can't get myself to take them in this one. The Hawks are like night and day when you compare how they play at home and away. I expect them to play like their usual road selves, and lose big in this game. The Giants are just a much better overall football team through the numbers. They are statistically better in every phase of the game in this match up. Their defense will dominate the Hawks in this game. Even though Plax is out for this game, the Giants have a dominant running game, and WR's that can fill in for a week. This Giants team always seems to play better anyways when these kinds of things happen to them, so I look for that to continue this week. I'll give the pts.

Bengals at Cowboys (Bengals +17) - I know I vowed not to take the Bengals again this year after their week 1 loss, but I have to take the pts in this one. 17 pts is insane, and the Bungles are not that bad, or I pray, can't be that bad tomorrow. All signs indicate Carson will play Sunday, and he gets Chris Henry as his WR3 option. I know the Boys are mad about their loss last week and although I do see them winning this game easily, I just think 17 pts is wayyyy to much for this game and for this team. I swear if the Bungles lose this for me, I will never bet on them again, EVER!!! Take the 17 and if all else fails and they are getting waxed, pray for a backdoor cover.

Steelers at Jags (Jags -4) - I'm loving the Jags in this game. IF you have a little extra cash, and don't mind paying the juice, I'd buy the line to 3 and go big on this game if possible. The Steelers are banged up, and they are coming off of a bye week. They have no running game to think of, and Big Ben will be forced to go one dimensional in this game. The only problem for him is that his Oline is missing, and the Jags are one of the most physical teams in the game. That's not a good combination for Big Ben in this one. If you thought he took a beating from the Ravens, wait until you watch this game. The Jags are also playing a lot better football as of late, and are getting some injured players back. They will be at home, and their physical style will take a toll on the Steelers in this one. Look for them to dominate on both ends of the ball, and for the Jags to take an early lead and for them to keep it throughout the game. Give the pts.

Vikings at Saints ( Saints -3) - Although the Vikings have been playing better as of late, I am not sold on them yet. They will need to show me they can go on the road and get a W vs a good team, and until they do that, I will keep betting against them like I am in this spot. I just don't see their offense keeping up with the Saints offense in this game, and their passing defense is still pretty weak. If you thought Brees was having field days in the past few weeks, wait until you see him play on this Monday Night. Another thing to keep in mind is that the Saints have Reggie Bush. The Vikings have one of the best run defenses in the league, especially between the tackles. But the Saints will run and pass to Bush on the outside, and this will mean trouble for the Saints. I will take the Saints and give the pts.

Gluck as always playaz...

THE DOCK-TOR'S ORDER - WEEK 5

RK and SS are busy this week, so here are mine and Cohin's rankings for the week. After a couple of upsets last weekend, especially the Chiefs over the Broncos, the rankings have changed...

1- Titans - I don't know if you guys have been checking my betting picks of the week, but I've been riding the Titans all season long. They have been playing amazing football this year, and they are propelled by their dominating defense. They have a big game vs the Ravens this weekend, so let's see how they perform. (VC)

2- Giants - The Giants have played great football all year long, I look for that to continue this weekend at home vs the SHawks. The Big question for this team is will Plax situation bring them together, or be their downfall? We'll find out Sunday. (VC)

3- Steelers- A good rebound in the 2nd half on MNF, but the issues at RB might cause problems. They did beat an aggressive Raven's D, no reason that they cannot take the weakened AFC. (CK)

4- Bills - The Bills have been playing great football all year long, but a lot of people are still not giving them their due. This weekend's road game at Arizona will go a long way into telling us if this team is legit. (VC)

5- Cowboys - They lost a tough game last weekend at home vs the Skins, but they still have one of the best overall teams in the game. We will find out Sunday if this T.O./ Romo stuff will affect the team, or if it is just being blown out of proportion. (VC)

6- Redskins - The 'Skins got a great win last weekend at Dallas, but now they have to go into a hostile Philly stadium to play a pissed off Eagles team. If they get this tough W, the 'Skins could be in first in the hardest division in football if the Giants lose, and they would immediately move into the top 3 of everyone's Power Rankings. (VC)

7- Panthers - The have been one of the most consistent teams all season long, and I look for that to continue this weekend. Steve Smith is back as he showed you last weekend, so look for the Panthers to be a consistent top ten team this year. (VC)

8- Bucs - The Bucs have played solid football all year long, and have only 1 loss vs a good Saints team on the road. They face another tough test this weekend where they go onto the road into Mile-High Stadium. If they can W or keep this close, they are for real. (VC)

9- Eagles - They lost a tough game to the Bears last weekend, but they were without one of their best weapons in Westbrook. They are pissed, and are looking for a big win this weekend vs the 'Skins. (VC)

10- Broncos - The Broncos suffered a real bad loss last weekend, proving their defense is their biggest quetion mark this season. We all know their O is for real, but can they stop anyone? Real big test this weekend at home to show us that. (VC)

11- Ravens- The toughness is back, and the rookie isn't half bad. This team will surprise alot of teams, and look for them to snag the wild card. (CK)

12 - Chargers - The Chargers look like they are back, especially with LT finally back to what looks like a 100 percent. They have a solid all around team, but I'd like to see them get a couple of W's first, before they crack our top ten. (VC)

13- Jaguars - The Jags escaped with a W last weekend, and they look like they are on the right track now, after starting out the year with some L's. Can they take their streak to 3 games vs a solid Steelers team this weekend? (VC)

14- Bears - The Bears and their defense proved last weekend that they are here to stay for this season. They have led 14 out of 16 quarters in their first four games, and have beaten two solid opponents in the Eagles and the Colts. But now the injury bug has bitten them with Vasher, Tillman, McGowen, Booker, Lloyd and Harris all struggling right now with some bad injuries. Harris also got suspended this week by the Bears for 1 game. Will all of this bring this team together to find a way to get a W vs the Lions this weekend? Or will they be last year's inconsistent Bears who lose a game after every meaningful victory? We will find out Sunday (VC)

15- Saints - The Saints offense is amazing. No matter who Brees has, he is a yardage machine. Bush is showing this year that he is ready for the spotlight, and they are putting up sick numbers on O. Can their D step up, and can they recover from these injuries? If they do, they will be dangerous all year long. (VC)

16- Jets - The Jets came out guns blazing last weekend, putting up 56 pts vs the Cards. BF did what he has never done before, tossing 6 TD's too. They have a bye this weekend, and play the struggling Bungles next weekend, which should take them into the top 15. (VC)

17- Patriots - The Pats got smoked by the Fins and I am sure this whole team is upset about that loss. They usually are money after bye weeks, so let's see how they respond this weekend on the road. If they get the W they will be back on track, if they L, then it might be panic time for the Pats. (VC)

18- Colts - The Colts needed that bye week last weekend. They get a bunch of Olineman and their TE back this weekend, and Manning has another week of practice under his belt. Usually that spells disaster for their opponent. The Colts look to get back on track this weekend. (VC)

19- Packers - The Packers have looked great at times, but they have also looked terrible at times. Their season could hinge on AR's health now. If he misses an extended period of time, their backup QB's don't look like they are ready to handle the NFL just yet. We'll find out this Sunday what the Packers are made of. (VC)

20- Cardinals- Cardinal nation and fantasy owners everywhere almost had heart attacks after that scary hit on Boldin. Thank God he's alive and ok, and if the Cardinals can find any kind of defense there is time to turn this season back around with that high octane offense. (CK)

21- 49ers - The Niners have played great football so far this year and have surprised some people, but this weekend's game vs the Pats might be the difference between them winning hte NFC West, and them just being with the rest of the pack. (VC)

22- Falcons- This team cannot handle a tough Defense, when they do the rookie struggles and Turner can't burn if there are no holes. This weekend's good match up against a downward spiraling GB team could get this team back on track. (CK)

23- Browns- Somebody had to win last week after all, and Braylon actually hung on to the ball in the end zone! Big improvement on both fronts, but Romeo is walking on thin ice.(CK)

24- Seahawks - The Hawks have been banged up all season long, but QB Hassleback will get some of his WR's back this weekend in Engram and Branch. Let's see if those guys can help the Hawks start to get back to the top of the NFC West. (VC)

25- Vikings- Tough game against one of the best teams in the NFL this year, but it doesn't look like it's gonna get any better anytime soon in Minnesota. Too bad the Twins didn't make the playoffs at least for the people! (CK)

26- Dolphins - Was the 'Fins W vs the Pats a preview of what's to come for the 'Fins? Or was it just a fluke? We will find out this weekend vs the Chargers. (VC)

27- Raiders- Impressive coming out party last weekend, stuffing it down the Charger's throat early on, but inconsistency (as usual) gives the game away. Lots of controversy in Oakland is only gonna make matters worse. (CK)

28- Chiefs - Is LJ back? Great win for the Chiefs last weekend vs the Broncos. But was it a fluke, or can they carry that momentum into this weekend and get another W. (VC)

29- Texans - The Texans almost pulled off an upset last weekend, but they ended up with another L. They finally start a 4 game home stand this weekend, but they face another tough opponent in the Colts. This is pretty much do or die for the Texans, so let's see how it goes for them. (VC)

30- Lions - With Matt Millen finally being let go in Detroit, can this organization turn things around? They have some talented players, and if they can beat the Bears this weekend, their season has a chance of being saved. If not, then it's going to be another "wait until next year" in Detroit. (VC)

31- Bengals- Is Marvin the next Lane/Millen/Linehan? No Carson and Ocho Cinco still talking about TD celebrations can only lead to another disgraceful season. (CK)

32 - Rams - Maybe their new coach can motivate this team to start playing football this season, because they have been horrible otherwise. With Bulger back at the helm, maybe they can get something going after this bye week. Let's wait and see. (VC)

THE BILLY GOAT, THE BLACK CAT, AND BARTMAN

Since the Cubbies are starting their playoff series tomorrow, I thought it would be a good time to make this post, which talks about our Cubs history/ information for all you new (bandwagon) fans out there. Haha, just kidding about the bandwagoners, any fans are welcome here, so no offense. Now during the upcoming playoffs you will hear these following words uttered a million times... the Billy Goat, the Black Cat, Bartman, Gatorade Glove, 1908, so get used to it playas. After talking with a few of my friends, I found out that a lot of people did not know the real stories behind these phrases, so I just wanted to take a few minutes of your time, and explain them all here. These Cubbies stories are pretty interesting regardless of if you are a Cubs fan or not, so definitely check them out. Here goes:

• The Cubs last won the World Series in 1908. Yes, we are coming up on a 100 years here, so you can see why everyone is always a little nutty around Chicago when the Cubs make the postseason. We had a rally for the Cubs just making the playoffs for Christs sake.
  
• Now a lot of people believe that the Cubs have never won another World Series since then because of a curse. The "Curse of Billy The Goat Sianis" or as we Cubs fans call it "The Billy Goat Curse". Everyone in the world has heard of this so called "curse", but a lot of people I talk to do not actually know the history behind the curse, so let me break it down for you :

  As the story goes, Billy Sianis, a Greek immigrant (from Paleopyrgos, Greece), who owned a nearby tavern (the now-famous Billy Goat Tavern), had two $7.20 box seat tickets to Game 4 of the 1945 World Series between the Chicago Cubs and the Detroit Tigers, and decided to bring along his pet goat, Murphy (or Sinovia according to some references), which Sianis had restored to health when the goat had fallen off a truck and subsequently limped into his tavern. The goat wore a blanket with a sign pinned to it which read "We got Detroit's goat". Sianis and the goat were allowed into Wrigley Field and even paraded about on the playing field before the game before ushers intervened and led them off the field. After a heated argument, both Sianis and the goat were permitted to stay in the stadium occupying the box seat for which he had tickets. At this point, Andy Frain (head of Wrigley Field's hired security company at the time), waved the goat's box-seat ticket in the air and proclaimed "If he eats the ticket that would solve everything." However, the goat did not. Before the game was over, Sianis and the goat were ejected from the stadium at the command of Cubs owner Philip Knight Wrigley due to the animal's objectionable odor. Sianis was outraged at the ejection and allegedly placed a curse upon the Cubs that they would never win another pennant or play in a World Series at Wrigley Field again because the Cubs organization had insulted his goat, and subsequently left the U.S. to vacation in his home in Greece. The Cubs lost Game 4 and eventually the 1945 World Series, prompting Sianis to write to Wrigley from Greece, saying, "Who stinks now?" Following a third-place finish in the National League in 1946, the Cubs would finish in the league's second division for the next 20 consecutive years. This streak finally ended in 1967, the year after Leo Durocher became the club's manager. Since that time, the supposedly cursed Cubs have not won a National League pennant or played in a World Series – the longest pennant drought in Major League history. Sianis died in 1970(All from Wikipedia). Pretty rowdy right? Now if you have read my Cubs posts before, you will know that I too am a believer of this dreadful curse, kinda. Sorry, but I can't help it after everything we have been through since I was a kid, so bite me. Anyways, hopefully we can put an end to all these curse stories after this year, so pray with me now!

• Here is another crazy story from the 1969 Cubs team. In 1969 the Cubs had an amazing squad which included Ron Santo, Ernie Banks, Fergie Jenkins, and Billy Williams, all of whom are hall of fame talent. The Cubs were rolling on everyone that year, and at one point had amounted a 8.5 game lead in the division. The race got interesting by September though, and the Cubs went to NY for a huge series, when it happened... THE BLACK CAT NIGHT. Midway through that important game, Mets fans released a black cat, and it ran right towards Ron Santo who was waiting at the on deck circle. The black cat then just stared at Santo for a while with a haunting glare. After that it ran into the Cubs dugout, where it just stared down the Cubs players. The Cat just walked around, back and forth, and in circles for a while as the whole stadium just watched in amazement. The Cubs went on to lose that game and then collapsed that September. Another classic and crazy Cubs story huh? Get used to it guys, because we're the CUBS damnit!
• Yup, there's more, ready? In 1984 the Cubs were in the NLCS, and were up in the series 2 games to 0. They were also up 3-2 going into the bottom of the 7th in a decisive game 5. In that inning a ball rolled right under Leon Durham's glove, similar to the Bill Buckner play in the 86 WS. The runner scored and the Padres went on to win the game 6-3 as well as make it to the the World Series that year. That error is also known as the Gatorade Glove Play, because there was some Gatorade spilled on his glove in the dugout right before he came out to play the field. What are the odds of that happening?? People believe this is another incident attributed to the curse or that this is a separate curse in itself. The saga continues...
• Now if you are a Cubs fan, and if you are around my age, I am 29 now, so your late 20's, you know about the BARTMAN Incident. Heck, even if you aren't a cubs fan, I am sure you have heard about Bartman and the infamous foul ball that night at Wrigley. It was October 14, 2003 and the Cubs were playing the Marlins in Game 6 of the NLCS. The Cubs had an amazing team that year, spearheaded by their three young guns, Prior, Wood, and Zambrano. We were 5 outs away from making it to the World Series, from finally doing the unthinkable, breaking the curse, and then it happened! It was the top of the eight, and Mark Prior was pitching a 3 hit shutout when Luis Castillo came up to the plate. Bartman was sitting in the now infamous box seat (aisle 4, row 8, seat 113), when Castillo hit a pop up foul shot right towards Bartman and the left field wall. Alou broke for the ball and made a great play for it, but Bartman got to the ball first, and it was all downhill after that. Alou started shouting and pointing towards Bartman, as he slammed his glove in frustration asking for interference from the umps, but to no avail. In Alou's defense, it did look like he would've made the play if Bartman had not been there, at least I think so. Well, the rest is pretty much history. The Cubs went on to give up 8 runs in that inning, and to lose the series in 7 games bringing back all the bad memories of these so called curses. Now one thing a lot of people forget about the Bartman incident is that when the next hitter was up, Alex Gonzalez, our shortstop at the time, blew a fairly routine double play ball which would have ended the inning. This botched double play, opened up the floodgates, and I feel now, was the real reason for our demise. Also, now that I look back on it, most people probably would have done what Bartman did. He was just a fan trying to grab a foul ball, all of us have done it before at a game, so I don't think you can blame him for us losing the entire series or even that game. You can tell just by looking at Bartman, that he is one of those nerdy, hardcore Cubs fans. He is one of those fans that listens to the local radio station during the game, and writes down the box scores on every play. It is actually well known that Bartman is a huge Cubs fan himself, so I am sure there was no malicious intent on his part either. The poor guy even donates all the money he makes from that incident to the Ron Santo Diabetes Fund, so you have to feel for the guy. Hey I'll admit it, I too f'd up. My buddy Anil worked with Bartman at Hewitt at the time, so I actually went on their website directory and sent the guy hate mail calling him a moron and some other not so nice obscenities too. The poor guy literally got run out of town, and now travels with bodyguards because of fans like us. Poor Bartman. I think I just said poor and Bartman together like 8 times now, so I'm sure you get the drift. Unfortunately for him, he will always be remembered as apart of one of the biggest moments in Cubs history, and his face now goes hand in hand with the words CURSE in Chicago. Anyways, that sums up the curses, but there's more, so keep reading.
• I am praying that we can REVERSE THE CURSE, and bring home a WORLD SERIES to Chicago. We have a solid squad this year (the best in my lifetime) and a great manager, so hopefully we can make this happen. The only thing that scares me, is that everyone is jumping on the Cubs bandwagon right now, or rooting for us because of our curse story. Although I am happy for the cheers, I think that is a jinx! Can you blame me, I'm a Cubs fan remember?
• Here are just some other little tidbits that people might not know. If you sit in the bleachers and the opposing team hits a home run, you are supposed to throw that ball back into the outfield. Yes, even if it is the record breaking home run ball hit by Barry Bonds, or a HR hit by your favorite player, or whatever the case may be, you toss it back. If you don't, every bleacher bum will boo, heckle, and probably pour their beer on your head, so just throw back the damn ball!
  
• Another interesting fact is that the Wrigley Field was actually the first home of the Bears back in the day. They played there from 1921-1970, and a lot of great football players battled there, during that time. I just thought that was pretty cool.
  
• Ever wonder what Eamus Catuli means on the Wrigley rooftop? I got this definition from the Web that explains pretty dead on what it means. On one of those rooftops across the street from Wrigley, there is a sign that says Eamus Catuli with some cryptic numbers next to it. "Eamus Catuli" is presumably Latin for "Go Cubs!" The cryptic numbers, before Saturday read "AC 145895" and it means The Year of the Cubs then the number of years since the Cubs' last division title (14), pennant (58), and World Series (95). That's right - the Cubs have not won the World Series since 1908! Wow... Now, those numbers read "AC 005895" - We hope soon it will read "AC 000000"!!!!
• Lastly if you are wondering what the words are to our catchy Cubs theme song that you hear on the radio and basically everywhere now, it goes:
  

  Baseball season's underway
  Well you better get ready for a brand new day.
  Hey, Chicago, what do you say
  The Cubs are gonna win today.

  They're singing ...
  Go, Cubs, go
  Go, Cubs, go

  Hey, Chicago, what do you say
  The Cubs are gonna win today.

  They got the power, they got the speed
  To be the best in the National League
  Well this is the year and Cubs are real
  So come on down to Wrigley Field

  We're singing now ...

  Go, Cubs, go
  Go, Cubs, go
  Hey, Chicago, what do you say
  The Cubs are gonna win today.

  Go, Cubs, go
  Go, Cubs, go
  Hey, Chicago, what do you say
  The Cubs are gonna win today.

  Baseball time is here again

  Go, Cubs, go
  Go, Cubs, go
  Hey, Chicago, what do you say
  The Cubs are gonna win today.

If you have any stories that you want to know more about, or can think of anything I missed, definitely let me know. GO CUBS GO! IT'S GONNA HAPPEN!!!

CUBS RALLY VIDEO

I went to the Cubs rally today during lunch, and it was rowdy. The rally itself was so packed that people had to stand across the street to just join in on the fun. It was great to see that many fans out to support our squad, young and old. Here is some video from the rally courtesy of the Trib...



I won't lie, I'm both nervous/ excited about Game 1, so I can't wait for it to get here. Make sure you all tune in for the game tomorrow at 530 CST. GO CUBS GO!!!

BEN GORDON WILL REPORT TO CAMP

As reported by K.C. Johnson in the Trib today, Gordon will be attending training camp. K.C. actually got a text from BGeezy saying "I'll be there".

There is also speculation that Gordon will sign the one year QO. This is probably his best bet, because going to Europe or sitting out the entire season isn't in his best interest.

It will be interesting to see what John Paxson does, because you just can't have these 5 guards on our roster at the same time. I just don't see how Rose, Hinrich, Thabo, Hughes, and Gordon can possibly co-exist together during the course of the season, so something has to be done, and hopefully it is soon. Let's see how it all pans out...
