At least our players look better.

 

Actually, at first glance, Woody looks kind of whitetrashy.

 

I could see him out in the front yard of the trailer, sitting on a couch, cap turned backwards with a sleevless T on sluggin back a Old Mil.

 

The goatee, or whatever that is, also adds to the look.

 

 

Where is Shooter these days?

[KaiserCesar]

bold prediction: we win

 

holy crap i was coming to post the same exact thing, except I don't think I was going to use a colon.

 

That might be useful when dealing with a piece of crap like the 06 cubs

Womack's on the Neifi Perez 5 step program to a contract extension.

 

Step 1: Play so terribly that a bad team releases you

Step 2: Remind Jim Hendry that you are alive to get minor league contract

Step 3: Play over your head for a month

Step 4: Regress to previous crappiness

Step 5: Get contract extension because your overall performance isn't awful because of good month.

[Chocolate Milk]

Oh man, it's Tony Womak time. Watch out!

[Transmogrified Tiger]

On another note, that Reds lineup looks like it was set according to whose birthday is first in the year. Dunn 2nd, Aurilia 4th, Kearns behind Aurilia and Hatteberg...

[Chocolate Milk]

I wish we had Nomar still.

[Southpaw191679666239]

You know things are bad when your ideal #2 batter is your clean-up batter 2 days in a row. :(

[frostwyrm]

Wow, 2yrs/$5M for a guy to be Tony Womack's backup, this being the Tony Womack that 29 other MLB teams didn't want. Good contract there, Jim.

[Southpaw191679666239]

Braves must have caught Cub-itis... they committed 3 errors in the first inning. :shock:

[Sammy Sofa]

I'll bet if Hendry saw just a picture of Kurt Rambis holding a baseball, he'd offer him a multi-year contract to play for the Cubs.

[Flames24Rulz]

Braves must have caught Cub-itis... they committed 3 errors in the first inning. :shock:

 

They must have thought they were still playing the Cubs today.

[Sammy Sofa]

Pray for the Cubs.

I say:

 

The Reds are up 3-2 in the bottom in then ninth. David Weathers loads the bases on 12 straight Ricky Vaughn balls. Nefti Perez comes up with a chance to win the game, but promptly on the first pitch grounds the ball over to third base. Shocked that he even made contact with the ball, just look dumbfounded. Encarnacion takes the grounder, touches third, throws to 2b, and who in turn throws the relay to first. For the seldom seen game ending Triple Play.

 

After the game...Perez is giving the lifetime achievement award for saving David Weathers career.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Pray for the Cubs.

 

CUBS are 0-9 when the temperature is 75 or above.

CUBS are 5-9 when attendance is 40,000 or greater.

 

Go CUBS !!

[cubfan1955]

Alright. We're still tied. Good day so far. :lol:

[Fred Hornkohl]

Alright. We're still tied. Good day so far. :lol:

 

It's all about attitude, cubfan1955 ......

 

CUBS are winning, 0-0 !!

 

Go CUBS !!

Yep, I have to find my good vibes somewhere.

[Flames24Rulz]

Lopez grounds out 4-3.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Lopez grounded out to second, 4-3

Question: Would the above scenario top losing a game on a 2-run sac fly? Or an infield fly bouncing off a defender's head?

[Flames24Rulz]

Dunn K's looking.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Dunn struck out (called)

I just can't see either of those ever happening in a major league game. [/sarcasm] :wink:
