"The pride of LSU" in the game to run

when did we sign Shaq?

 

The best was that when Shaq actually graduated (1999, I believe, since he took summer classes for years and years), LSU had him back to give the keynote address at graduation. Shaq held up his degree (which was in general studies) and said, "I now believe that LSU stands for Love Shaq University."

Did you see him on Quite Frankly today? He is an idiot, but he is very funny. I like the big lug.

Theriot at second!

 

Ugh, leadoff walk from JVB

I hate when we walk guys. I hate when we have no plate discipline and let wild, crappy pitchers off the hook. My wife says I'm cranky today.

[Joe_Cub]

Corey having yet another crappy game eh? Wow, what a surprise.

 

I haven't watched any of the game, but he is 2 for 4. :|

 

Oh he is? Ah, well based off of the last page of posts prior to mine, I just assumed that he was 0-fer and stunk in the field.

 

Well, good for him. Gotta get that trade value up.

 

Well, he's 6 for his last 17 with 4 doubles. Baby steps I guess.

 

People were probably yelling because he got picked off first base again. he's like shorter speedier younger version of Moises Alou out there on the bases these days.

[Chris]

Wow, close play

 

i wish I could see it. but Dish Netowrk is having "technical difficulties" again

 

IMHO he was safe, but I won't complain on the call.

[brinoch]

Jesus Christ, Prior threw 120 pitches tonight?! WTF is Baker doing?!

 

That's inexcusable. Simply unbelievable. I hate Baker. HATE.

[Chris]

runners on 1st & 2nd, JVB out of the game

[brinoch]

HATE

2 year contract on the table broooo

Bringing in the closer right now would be a good idea. So with Baker making the decision, I bet he'll bring in... Rich Hill.

[Chris]

Dusty with a double switch, Dempster pitching, Die Hard to third

[Chris]

Miller K's!

[brinoch]

Miller K's!

 

I do like Dempster, all in all. But I still HATE Baker. Tough choice for Yost.

[Chris]

I didn't think it was a stolen base if there was no throw (A little help here)

[Chris]

game over ](*,) ](*,) ](*,)

[Chris]

Hope you enjoyed playing the field Riot

[lowest]

*sigh*

Since I usually only watch cubs games I wonder, can you just take the pitcher out or do you have to double switch no matter what. ](*,)

[YearofDaCubs]

this team blows. I really dont think I can handle another year like this.

[NorthsideAvenger]

this team blows. I really dont think I can handle another year like this.

 

So the Cubs are going to finish behind the Brewers, or as I call them "The Anti-Baker team", and yet Baker will be REWARDED with a two yr extension. Sounds fair.

 

So when should the Cubs present the Cards the 2006 NL Central Division trophy? And how many games in front of Pittsburgh will Hendry allow Baker to mismanage the team to, before Hendry realizes "Baker ain't the answer?"
