I've been avoiding following the Cubs because I don't hate myself as much as I used to, but I'm curious about Castro. The last time I checked, 5 errors in one game wasn't outlandish for him. Has he become that much better of a shortstop that a natural fielder is going to second instead of his natural position?

I'm sure someone corrected his error...no, the 3 replies are all sure the Cubs trade Castro and move Baez to SS afterwards or call up Russell.

I work with a guy that feel this way about Castro. "Some douche" appropriately describes him.

Broke down and bought the mlbtv premium for the rest of the season, was only 25 bucks. I'll be watching on the ipad, had wisdom teeth removed today so I'll be up late anyway.

 

 

Called directv up to try and negotiate a deal for extra innings. No dice. $120 for the remainder of the year. I tried every trick in the book. Finally told them to eat my balls.

 

 

 

 

Call them back, tell them you are canceling service(As long as your contract expired) tell them AT&T, Comcast or whomever is coming out to switch you over for half the price you are paying DirecTv. I did this last week, they threw in Sunday Ticket and Showtime for free, and knocked off $25 off my bill. I would think they could do this with MLB extra innings.

I was at Sammy Sosa's last 4 games as a Cub. All losses, but saw his franchise-setting career HRs 544/545 as well.

We had plans on being at the last weekend of 2003 and didn't. My parents said they would not make that mistake again and bought tickets to all these games before the season started in 2004. We had tickets to the season finale but did not go. Istill vividly remember a lot from those games. Austin freaking Kearns.

Crazy to think that 4-5 game span at the end of September completely changes how we look at so many things.

Yeah, but let's keep the negativity out of the Javy thread.

I've been to some memorable games in Cincy the last decade -- Sammy's 500th HR, ARam's 3-homer game (2006?), the clincher back in '07 with the Soriano lead off homer, and last but not least, THE ESTES GAME.

Bolded is pretty much the only notable game I've ever been to. I did see Soriano's walk-off slam against Houston, though, which was pretty sweet.
