Cubs beat the Phillies again. We remain undefeated since the All Star break.

This is changing the outlook for the annual pilgrimage to Coors Field for the Cubs-Rockies series.

I love it! I was looking for a 2 door 5spd , Never thought about 4x4 but it kind of found me ( was in my gpa's shed) Was stored 2 years before we got our hands on it. Drained the gas, rebuilt the motor , redid the interior ECt. has 63000 mi. on it and runs strong!

Excellent.

It's a shame I missed the "spoiler" thread earlier today. It sounded like a good one.

Make no mistake, credit where it's due, Gary trains harder than anyone I've ever known, and his success is largely due to that, but if he had been born with my (lack of) sprinting ability, he wouldn't win races. On the other hand, even with his considerable talent, if he didn't train so hard, he'd have 1/10 of his results. It's both. But without the talent it becomes next to impossible in my view. Could I train hard enough to be a potentially effective domestique? Perhaps. Is it worth living like a monk and training like a zealot to me? Hardly. It becomes more like a job, not something I love to do.

Hey, that's my view borne out of 20 years in and around the sport. But you'll have to form your own opinion. None of that matters of course. We all do this because we love it, for one reason or another. No matter how much we snipe at each other, we do share that, Fred and Road Nazi alike. That's the Big Picture. Which so many of you are incapable of seeing. Don't worry, Uncle Pcad will show you the Way.

None of you are friggin worthy of course, but that's a whole other thread.

Well, I don't know what that was all about. I'm just saying that I don't think you would be any different if you won races. But you might win races if you were different.
I can't speak directly about being competitive in anything. I'm not that kind of guy. Probably why I don't relate to those in the 33. They will find me lacking, I see them the same way.

Tony,

Shouldn't you be doing something more interesting at your age on Friday night?

Personally, I'm washing my bibs.

Razor, what is that car?

Very nice-looking example there. Is it just the picture, or is the front end sitting a little high?

I missed 13 pages. That's what I get for not being on earlier. :(

I feel bad for him. Bad luck. He really deserved a win and to knock Cavendish off his high horse.

Recently there's been thread overload.
