6/8 Cubs (Marquis) @ Dodgers (Penny), 7:05 PM, ESPN

[UMFan83]

Dammit when I saw the bobble, I assumed Soriano would be safe.

[Roast]

Dag nabbit.

[CubsGM]

SORIANO IS SLOOOOOWWWWWWWW

[Old Style]

Joe Morgan is a dumbass.

No way, dude, he is a hall of famer.

There's obviously not an IQ test to get in the HoF.

 

And nice hustle there, gimp leg.

[OleMissCub]

I just finished a psychology study that Freud wrote on Woodrow Wilson, also a semi-underrated President, despite his faults

 

Correct. I think Woodrow had some of the noblest intentions of any President in our history. It just didn't work out. The stroke that he had killed more than just himself.

I would have rather had Marquis swing away there, and that's not just in hindsight.

[WTFCUBS]

gtfo with this history stuff

 

 

this is a baseball thread, mmkayyy

[ChiCubsfan0502]

By the way, I still think Marquis will implode, as he has all season.

[BigSlick]

Ok, sorry to keep the offtopic presidential thing going but this is like my new favorite quote

 

"I have only two regrets: I didn't shoot Henry Clay and I didn't hang John C. Calhoun."

[BigSlick]

Nothing to be ashamed of knowing about Andrew Jackson's history, he is the biggest badass President we ever had

 

yeah, killing thousands of natives is quite presidential. a man of honor!

I said he was a badass, I didn't say he was a good person

 

Exactly. Now for a badass President that was actually a decent human being, look at T.R.

One of the more underrated.

[BigSlick]

Gah, I wish Edmonds could have made it to third there

[Fred Hornkohl]

Loney grounded out to the pitcher, 1-3

Nor should there be, however, there probably should be to be allowed to broadcast games.

The commentary makes it for me.

 

"That's right. In a life rich with murdering people for little-to-no reason, Jackson's only regret was that he didn't kill quite enough people. People like Calhoun who, it should be noted, was Jackson's vice president."

LOL. Great stuff in there:

 

Checking Teddy Roosevelt's resume is like reading a How-To guide on ass-kicking manliness. He was a cattle rancher, a deputy sheriff, an explorer, a police commissioner, the assistant Secretary of the Navy, the governor of New York, and a war hero. Out of all of his jobs, hobbies and passions, Roosevelt always had a special spot in his heart for unadulterated violence.

[Old Style]

Loney grounded out to the pitcher, 1-3

But what are your thoughts on Teddy Roosevelt?

[Fred Hornkohl]

Kemp flied out to left field

[BigSlick]

It doesn't seem fair that Zambrano got tagged for all 7 of those runs yesterday

 

Such is baseball

[UMFan83]

I wish Andruw Jones was playing in this series. Edited June 9, 2008 by UMFan83

[illiniguy]

How were the Cubs players not laughing at him?

[BigSlick]

My friends, doth my eyes deceive me? Was that a 1-2-3 inning for Marquis?

Okay, my favorite part, then I'm done with the president stuff.

 

On one occasion, [Jackson] challenged a man named Charles Dickinson to a duel, (the reason behind it wasn't important, not to us and certainly not to Jackson), and Jackson was even kind enough to give Dickinson the first shot. We're gonna go ahead and repeat that: In a duel with pistols, Jackson politely volunteers to be shot at first. Dickinson happily obliged and shot Jackson, who proceeded to shake it off like it was a bee sting. When Jackson returned the favor, Dickinson was not so lucky, and that's why his face isn't on the twenty.
