.... .... baseball is no longer going to be fun this summer with the Sox and Cards in first place fighting for the best record in baseball...

 

God, what a depressing thought.

 

I can make it worse!!!!

 

Joe Morgan is in the booth tonight.

 

An even worse thought...how many times will the Bartman play be shown tonight? Twice?

[Balsa]

Hey Fred when was the last time the Cubs stole a base?

I'll take the Over on that betting line. Especially if factoring in amount of times they just mention it too.

Hey Fred when was the last time the Cubs stole a base?

 

Well, actually, they had one on Friday against the Cardinals..... but that makes 2 in the last 17 games.

1 of them by Greg Maddux.

Why did D.Lee stop stealing?

 

And C-Patt should really start agressively stealing also. He was good last year with steals.

ESPN: NL MVP Candidate Albert Pujols is in Chicago to take on the Cubs at Wrigley

 

No love for DLee since his slide?

Judging by fox's broadcast team yesterday, neither DLee or Pujols should win the MVP. It should go to grudz.

It's seemed like awhile since we've seen Henry in the lineup. Hopefully he continues his post-break hot streak!

[hawkeyecub]

Good lineup, let's hit Morris hard tonight and have a little momentum heading into that Astros series.

 

Prior's going to have a great game tonight and White will continue his surge since switching to #24.

[Edgeman187]

Joe Morgan is speaking...all remain silent. :roll:

[UK1679666180]

Morgan/Miller----Baker/LaRussa

 

Can it get any worse?

[Omar]

I really miss Steve Stone.. and there is one more Cubs game on ESPN remaining after today, but that one will have blackout restrictions due to the fact that it will also be on CSN.

 

:cry:

I hate that stupid blackout restriction.

[hawkeyecub]

Morgan/Miller----Baker/LaRussa

I can't stand Morgan, but I think I would rather listen to him than McCarver.

[UK1679666180]

Lawton 58BBs in 374 ABs with Pitt. Lawton 1BB in 43ABs with the Cubs...

 

A full season of Walker hitting 2nd would eliminate the lack of OBP with the #2 hitter.

[Marco4]

Cubbies on UK terrestrial TV! Let's go Cubbies! Just because I'm not starting the game threads any more doesn't mean you can't win!

Blanco's last start was Prior's last start.... last Tuesday vs. Cincinnati.

Ahh, okay. I missed it because I was on vacation, so maybe that's why I thought it had been awhile.
