don't suck

 

this isn't working

 

 

I think the "Don't Suck" obligatory post still has power, but maybe we can try this one on for size for the time being?

 

 

 

Law of averages, people. Law of averages.

If its a train wreck, I'm in the front car. Sitting 6th row, just left of Cub dugout.

[jersey cubs fan]

No Beltran, Reyes, or Wright. That's a good thing.

 

Until they pinch hit.

[C.C.]

No Beltran, Reyes, or Wright. That's a good thing.

 

This is a very, very winable game.

 

 

We lose 6-2.

Come on Cubs get out NY with a split.

wow, that's Randolph's version of the "Dusty Baker Patented Getaway Day Forfeit Lineup"

Late change:

 

DeRosa will bat 6th and play first base.

[JC]

It will be a minor miracle if it doesn't rain here in the next 10 minutes.

Seriously. Hope everyone has Vargas and Guzman on their fantasy teams.

Did Lou just realize it was a LHP or did DeRosa take that long to convince him he's healthy?

Really? Huh. Looks OK on the ol' weather map...

He had to already know it was a lefty...Jones was out and Pagan was in.

DeRosa had to show that he could swing OK late this morning.

[JC]

Hey Bruce. Why don't you set me up with some of that free beer in the press box. We all know the dirty little secret of how you guys get hammered during the away games. Maybe that's just me...

While I generally believe everything on the internet, heavy grey clouds are moving in and currently sittibg over the park.

Were it only true. Could have used it last night.

Are you in Shea, or watching on TV? I'm in midtown and it's partly cloudy with no rain in sight.

I'm at Shea. However, the clouds are moving fast right now.

Update: Guzman was just warming up with his secret 200 foot curve ball. Should throw off the Mets..
