And the cubs lose. this should just be copied and pasted everyday. much easier that way.

[E.J.]

16 games under .500. 20 games under, here we come!!!

[oldstyle81]

the new old style commericals are so dumb, the comedians are nowhere near funny. they have had some great ones in the past, to bad the last few sets have sucked

[Fred Hornkohl]

Fred you are a trooper...thanks for the updates.

Holy crap, someone just hit a ball OVER the wall into the stands! Is that allowed?!?

To quote the great Kenny Mayne . . .

 

He hit it over some fencing they had set up in the outfield.

[E.J.]

And the Pirates lose again. No one wants 5th place in the Central Division.

[Jim Ignatowski]

From Chicago, Cubs lose...and that's the way it is, Sunday, June18, 2006. Happy Father's Day!

[Sammy Sofa]

So we see games where the Cubs can get around a dozen singles and bring nobody home...then they finally hit three homeruns in a single game and NOTHING else?!?

 

Jerkstores.

[Sammy Sofa]

Can we have a swearing thread? Please? Because the creative explitives flying out of my mouth right now are things of beauty.

I can't wait for this team to use the DH. We may very well get Neifi, Womack, Mabry, and Bynum playing at the same time.

[Master Shake]

Good thing I was at the radio station today for the NASCAR broadcast.

What a fines series we played.....

Well Dusty, it is call "hitting", you know the thing you do when you swing the bat, and hit the ball? Apparently your team don't comprehend this fact.

 

 

It makes one wonder..... :-k

 

Spring Training teams go over execution of plays, working on bunts, pick offs, getting the pitchers/hitters in shape for the season. It is also about getting playing time to knock off the rust on players, while taking a look at some of the young guys. In other words...it's about the team getting to know one another.

 

With that said....What the heck where the Cubs doing in Spring Training? It wasn't working on "skills" for the season. Why do the Cubs even have Spring Training?

[Shilzzz]

brandon inge has 15 homeruns?
