8/12 StL Cardinals (Marquis) @ Cubs (Zambrano) 1:20 WGN

[Fred Hornkohl]

You know, I think I'd rather hear a drunk sing "Sweet Home Chicago" than "Go Cubs Go".

 

Now that's just a bad attitude !! :wink:

[Bull]

let's say we split the final two games this weekend (although of course i want to win both) and then we go down to Houston. could we sweep 3 at houston and be right back in the chase?

 

Curse you for making me think positive!

 

i know. they are sucking me back in again. i cannot kick myself of this habit!

 

May the fleas of a thousand camel infest your armpits for eternity.

Ugh. Well, now that they have a chance to sweep or take the series on Sunday night, looks like I won't be able to make myself skip the game...

 

What's wrong with that? School doesn't start for another month!

Could've made a solid $18...

 

But at least Prior is going. Wasn't planning on going before these two wins.

I'm assuming that's a "MASH" referece. A little before my time. I actually learned that curse on a study abroad trip in the middle east.

I heard Johnny Carson use that line in his Carnac the Magnificent bit long before M*A*S*H was written.... but I rather doubt that Johnny was the first to use it.

Does that end Nomar's 5 game hitting streak? I'm not sure because he was in the game but didn't get a hit, but he didn't have an official at bat.

UGH, I'm surrounded by children. :wink:

Hey, I'm a kid (at least, I like to think so), but I know MASH! :-)

 

They're just culturally illiterate, that's all. ;-)

 

PM me if you get a chance - curious to hear how life is going for you and the "goils" of late. :-)

Well, I missed today's game. (First day back at work.) I was excited to get in the car turn on the XM and discover the Cubs had a 3-0 lead.

 

We still have a long way to go, but a win over the Cardinals is always a good thing.

No, I'm pretty sure you have to have an AB for it to count.

They were discussing this earlier in the year when Johnny Damon was hitting for however many games he did, but I forget the conclusion they came to. I think you HAVE to have an AB, but I'm not 100%.

 

Yes, this was the least informative post in the world.
