Here's a showing of my NSBB loyalty - I just got home still drunk from the bar, gotta get that game thread up.

=D> well done. Darn, if you're in CST even more so.

With Carlos on the mound I can always envision the W flag flying. However, the Cubs have to bear down now and start putting some distance between them, and the Brewers and Cards. Especially, while the Cubs are at home and their schedule isn't as 'hectic' as it will be. Go Cubs!!!

Where's the ! after Z's name in the title? :(

Dude's drunk and still puts up the game thread, I think we should just be impressed with that.

Only if he had a designated driver or a taxi to get him home.

The CTA is a wonderful thing for that.

Thanks to those of you for the thoughts and prayers. I sent Len and Bob an e-mail as well, so maybe Kelsie will become famous today. She is still doing ok, though not much improvement, I will keep updating in the social thread.

Go Cubs!

There is absolutely nothing that says "baseball" like the Messmers singing, at Wrigley, on a crystal clear Sunday afternoon at Wrigley in August.

Wayne Messmer (and his wife if she wants to join in) is the only person who should sing The Star Spangled Banner at Wrigley.

It's better when he sings solo. He needs to ditch the wife.
