4/28 Cubs (Maddux) vs Beermakers (Bush) 1:20 PM CSN/WGN

Jacque doesn't like small balls.

 

OH....goony, you HAD to go there, didn't you?

There's a Jim Edmonds joke in here somewhere...

 

Stupid question...

 

Is Edmunds really gay?

 

There have been rumors and speculation (namely the Edgar Renteria shower incident that earned him the nickname of "Lassie"), but no one publically knows. It's kinda like Derek Jeter and A-Rod.

 

Enlighten me.

 

I think the ROUGH version of th e story is that...Edmonds had a "little too much to drink" after a ballgame, and got a "little too friendly" with Edgar in the SHOWERS.

 

I'm sure that is a rough draft of what happen, but that is, IMO, a blount version of what happen. If anybody can provide a little more of the details, then share.

[Chocolate Milk]

6k's to end the game. Well done by the bullpen.

[MPrior]

I like winning.

[Balsa]

Yeeee-HAW!

 

Cubs win again!!!

[Andy]

Nice job by Dusty bringing Williamson in after he struggled Wednesday.

 

First Dempster, then Williamson. I hope Hedry can make it 3 for 3 on reclamation projects with Miller.

 

Chad Fox?

Not Hendry's fault, Fox was doing a great job before he became the 2nd of 3 Cubs pitchers to be injured by a line drive.

[CubinNY]

Yay!

 

Will they get the rest of the series in?

 

 

Would they be better off having Rusch's game rained out and made up later in the season when maybe some other guys will be back?

 

Yes.

 

How are those wings?

I'm pretty sure that that's not how Fox got injured.

A line drive? I thought his elbow just gave out.

What diffrence does it make if he's gay?

 

oh...never mind.

Fox was not injuried by a line drive. He was pitched until his arm fell off. Almost literally.

Yeah.... Fox just threw a pitch and felt something snap.

I don't know that this was such a move worthy of earning propss for Dusty.

Puttig in Ohman or Williamson or Novoa with a 4 run lead in the 9th isnt bad, no matter who he chose.

 

I do like seeing Eyre strike out the side, then Williamson says "I can do that too!"

Huh - thought it was but I guess his arm just fell off, LOL.

Fox was beyond repair. He makes Williamson look scar free.

Enlighten me.

 

The desipiots know more than I do about the incident since it gets brought up constantly. My recollection of details are sketchy, but...

 

Apparently, Edgar Renteria was in the shower in the clubhouse when he slipped and fell, knocking himself out. Apparently Jim Edmonds came into the shower, saw Renteria lying there, then picked him up and carried him out of the shower, cradled in his arms.

 

The strange part about it is...well, there've been whispers that Jimmy may have spent some quality time in there with Renteria while Renteria was unconscious.

 

The rumor was that Renteria wanted to get the holy hell out of St. Louis after that incident and was the primary reason he did not return in the offseason.

 

Some if it is speculation and some of it quite malicious, but, well, you asked for it.

 

There's also the accusation that he molests collies, but that's likely a joke from Caddyshack more than anything else.

Yes.

 

How are those wings?

Doug Davis has been pretty bad this season (7.66 ERA, 1.95 WHIP), though.

 

Of course, he owns the Cubs.

 

On the plus side, we've seen a lot of lefties in the past week.

[Jon]

Let's drop the Edmonds stuff, please.

Fox was it by a line drive a little while before the pitch where he felt the snap though, wasn't he? I'm positive you're right about how his season ended, but I think he did take a line drive too. I forgot that he was hit as well, that was just typical of how our season went last year. I can't recall having 3 pitchers hit by linedrives in a year.

I really hope those showers hold off for the weekend. The Mifflin Street block party is tomorrow and it would absolutely suck if it were pouring. :(

first, don't bring up Mifflin Street Block Party when I've been in Illinois pining for a trip to Madison all spring

 

second, I've had some good times at rainy Mifflin Street Block Parties.

 

how are the cops these days? when I was in Madison, it went from great party all over the place to stay withing the sidewalks to don't come off the porches to a riot seen on CNN to don't even be on the porches.

[Careless]

So since I was in the car and pat/ron didn't explain, was murton's CS on a blown hit and run? Did dusty really call for a hit and run with jones batting?

I'm pretty sure they said it was, although I didn't see it on the TV. I think it was a 3-1 pitch and Jones swung and missed.
