Lou: The season hasn't started yet Ron.

 

Santo: Ok, let's see. First, you want me to pick up your drycleaning, second get the oil changed on your car, and then get it detailed?

 

Lou: Don't forget the beer and hotdogs. It's almost lunchtime.

Why do the Cubs hate America?

[BleedCubbieBlue81]

Someone open the gate and let poor Michael Barrett in for practice.

I was thinking the same thing. He has that, "Aw, come on guys, let me play!" look on his face.

I've had the same look on my face over the past few seasons ...

Who's in that first picture with Woody? Eyre? Howry? Dempster?

Wade Miller

 

Is that what the caption says? My guess was Wuertz.

[BRASKYS SCOTCH]

Who's in that first picture with Woody? Eyre? Howry? Dempster?

 

Probably Wade Miller. Texas boys hanging out, often I imagine. Saw them biking on the lake path over the summer when I was running. There was a Cubs game being played at the time. They were not in it. Disappointment ensued.

Looks like my Pug! Pugs rock!

Wade Miller

 

Is that what the caption says?

 

Yup.

I'm not sure that's Miller. They showed him throwing on the news last night, and he looked to have short hair, and no facial hair. I could be wrong though.

Your 2007 Cubs - Lean, mean, Piniella-machine.

 

Although that lean and mean part doesn't apply to Piniella.

I didn't think it was Wuertz, but it does resemble Eyre

Either way, it's good to see the guys laughing instead of on crutches.

 

EDIT: Now that I look at it closer, it does look more like Miller than anyone else. But I thought I saw him on the news with no facial hair yesterday. I was probably wrong though.

Wouldn't the guy need to be a bit heavier to be Eyre?

 

Sorry, couldn't resist.

"The Cubs have not established any rules regarding jacuzzis."

 

I like it.
