trade jock he sucs

[DiamondMind]

It's funny that our long man was optioned today, too.

 

He pitched 2 innings yesterday. He wouldn't have been available today anyway.

 

stop throwing facts at the hyperbole brigade!

 

Are you the elitism brigade?

[E.J.]

Jones with a leadoff basehit. And here comes the black hole...

[98navigator]

Nice hit for Jacque

 

they can score lots of runs off of Maddux if they don't fall for his junk.

[Soriano12]

Keep giving them runs Miller you worthless piece of trash

 

that was a little harsh...

 

If DisgruntledCubsFan says it's a little harsh, you know it's bad.

 

Its no longer DCF......the ludes are working great!

[soccer10k]

Jacque with a solid base hit.

[RichHillIsABeast]

Way to swing it, Jones.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Ahhhhhhhh, Jake the neighborhood guy. Forgot about him.

 

I want to know why this supposed connoisseur of all things Chicago has one ad where he pretty much admits that he had know idea what 16" softball was.

 

I think I was 11 when I found out that 'softballs' come in sizes smaller than 16". Still not sure why they call them softballs, those 12" things, that is.

 

I never heard of it until last fell, but I play in a 14" league. Gloves for girls, no gloves for guys. It has the make up of a 16' ball.

 

I can't wait till I move back to the city. I tried to get a 16" intramural league going here at school but everyone wanted to play 12" so they could hit homeruns. Tools.

 

I don't get why you'd want to play 16" over the "girl" softball. It's closer to real baseball.

Miller is both a proven veteran and had a good spring training. These poor performance are clearly a mirage.[/quote

Must be sarcasm.

Are we ever going to hit a HR?

We got several yesterday. Doubt it today with the wind.

miss yesterday's game?

Provided that Hank doesn't hit into a DP, the Jacque hit will flip the line-up at least.

[Soriano12]

Hank White...jack one!

[Post Count Padder]

Ha, Cubs are 6th in runs, obp and slg.

 

 

666 :shock:

He's got to do whatever he can to not hit a grounder.

I really don't find it to be much like baseball. In fact, I'd prefer to play actual baseball over any form of softball. The 12" league down here, I'm not sure how it is anywhere else, starts each AB with a strike and a ball already against you. I hate that. I just think that 16" is way more fun. I'm biased though, I grew up playing it.
