I may be going completely insane and/or need an eye exam, but does Fredi Gonzalez bear a slight resemblance to Mark Grace?

[Omar]

Yeah, it really is a shame.

Hes an actor,remember ?

Gil Grissom for 7th Inning Stretch Conductor- -- FULL TIME.

[genbar]

that Dan Uggla homer really didn't make me too angry. i think i am desensitized to failure. this can prove to be both good and bad for my mental and physical health in the future.

[Omar]

Warm up the truck.

That truck should be driven into a brick wall.

He was in Jim Hendry's office signing his extension.

the good news - every loss is a step closer to the end of the jim hendry era

[SeldomSeen]

I'm starting to root for lopsided losses. This thing can't be blown up soon enough.

Or parked on the train tracks.

Blanco flied out to deep left center field

 

Can't you just hear the discussion in the dugout before this inning..................." OK guys lets try to hit some pop flys and see if they blow out of the park" Sadly maybe the best approach all night.

[Omar]

On the bright side... The Brewers lost today!!

[JonnyRed]

the good news - every loss is a step closer to the end of the jim hendry era

 

If you think that things would just magically turn around if Hendry is canned, I think you're sadly mistaken. The team he put on the field should be playing better than what they've shown.

[Flames24Rulz]

Yay, Pinto.

It doesn't even matter anymore.

That and the fact that the Cubs will be feeling the effects of his horrible backloaded contracts for several more years whether Hendry is here or not.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 0-9 when they trail by 4 runs or more after 7 innings.

 

 

Go CUBS !!
