college night is tomorrow night for the astros.... yeah if i was a college student i'd definitely rather go watch a lousy astros team than go out and get drunk on a friday night

 

A flask = both.

isnt goinig out and getting drunk what everyone does @ a ball game?

 

or is just me?

[Andy]

DWard is awesome.

[SouthSideRyan]

Ward = So much better than Mabry

 

I give Jim credit for that signing

 

The best part of it was the 1.2M option. Hendry has been awful at overpaying for terrible bench players, then somehow signs a legitamate bat and gets him cheap one year, with a cheap option year. Ward's agent sucks.

[Handlebar McSkullet]

Ward = So much better than Mabry

 

greatest understatement of all time...

 

 

 

 

 

that was an overstatement :)

[SouthSideRyan]

Hart should start the inning in the pen.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Uh oh, look whose back.

 

I understand Lou trying to get Steve a W on what could likely be the last start of the his career, but use your head man.

[minnesotacubsfan]

I read that Kraft CANNOT pay Bilicheks fine.

 

yikes

[Little Slide Rooter]

Come on Lou, a fully stocked bullpens just calling your name.

It's the right move as long as someone is in the pen.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Pence singled to center field

[E.J.]

Keep on giving up the hits Trachs. Good work.

my thoughts exactly

 

 

I can see it now, bonus for Billichek for ooo $500,000 for making the playoffs...etc etc etc

[Fred Hornkohl]

Biggio flied out to right center field

[ninetynineplus]

you think d ward should start in right before floyd??

 

and i know how much everyone thinks that floyd is a bad right fielder... but does he have a 1.000 fielding percentage??? i thought i saw that on gameday...

Time to renegotiate the contract Bill, an extra $500,000 oughta do.

[CubinNY]

Please don't screw this up Cubs.

 

I hate listening to Milo Hamelton. He's a hack who isn't good enough to hold Harry's beer soaked BVDs.

[Anomalied]

I don't want Trachsel pitching for us in the playoffs.

[kylescubs23]

I can't watch him falling behind every hitter.
