4/30: Brewers (Suppan) @ Cubs (Dempster), 7:05, WCIU, ESPN

[BigSlick]

I'm actually bummed that 17 is the highest win total ever for this franchise in April

 

Kinda sad

[weis21]

I knew something was wrong when they showed Zambrano's ERA as 3.91, it was actually 2.2something

 

Thanks a lot ESPN

 

Sports aren't that complicated. Why are there people who mess it up so easily?

I'm all for super complicating baseball

 

At least then we'll know if someone is good or bad. So we stop making fun of Adam Dunn and just make fun of Juan Pierre all the time.

 

But really recognizing that Dunn is good and Pierre is bad isn't that hard. ESPN seems to think understanding sports is hard when it really isn't.

But Pierre is one of those guys that wears those awesome flat bill caps!

[weatherdood]

Man, Ward's scuffling

[Little Slide Rooter]

thats awesome. I was thinking Naked Gun when Len and Bob made the Nielson reference after that call.

Seeing as the D-Backs hit 20 today in their 11th season...yeah.

[Soul]

Ward's the guy who got left behind. He's still trying to figure out what everyone else did weeks ago.

Season started in mid-April back in the day.

[badger1679666666]

These threads are pretty boring when we're kicking ass and there aren't overreactions to every single pitch, swing, and defensive play.

[SouthSideRyan]

Len just made an Enrico Palazzo reference for you ESPNers.

It's really not as bad as it sounds. They used to play a few less games in April and 17 wins out of 26 games is a pretty high win %.

I'm more bummed that expansion franchises like the Marlins and DBacks win the World Series while we still can't.

Fukudome really shouldn't be batting 5th with 1 homer and 9 rbi. He really ought to be 1st or 2nd.

Ok, 1 homer and 10 RBI, but my point still stands.

[chuckywang]

I bet ESPN ratings plummet while Fukudome is up to bat.

[Vanilla Ice]

in other news, the brewers still suck at defense

 

and cedeno scored from second on a single

 

theriot went to third on a double

[Soul]

Look at Fuku get to that big breaker.

 

He's so solid it's not even funny.

I don't know. Sometimes it's fun to see what weird side conversations will take place.

We got to hear about IMB's presentation of semen to Erin Andrews, so I guess you have a point.

 

Have we walked more this year than in all of the seasons under Baker combined?

[WTFCUBS]

Soto time.

[TruffleShuffle]

if soto hits another 3 run homer i will seriously wet myself

[InconspicuousZ28]

Come on Soto.....

[Brian]

time for SOTOGASM x3

[erik316wttn]

In honor of Koskue, I present to you my first ever Cubs Haiku

 

Fukudome rocks

Always soild at the plate

Patience reigns supreme

 

......yeah, well it's not like you can do better

If I can pile on here, the Cardinals just set their record with their 18th.

[Andy]

Soto K's after the ump calls a horsecrap strike 2.
