Ronny Woo Woo's cousin? Also...anyone....plz... an online clip of CSN's coverage. I know I was at the end of it. And apparently I was on CSN Sports Night too cause a friend called me and told me he saw me. That was a great phone call by the way: *phone rings* Roast: Hello Friend: YOU $%^&* SUCK. YOU'RE ON SPORTS NIGHT NOW!? Roast: hahahahahahhahaha Between me being on the front page of the Trib, and you being on Sportsnight, us NSBBers are finally getting the recognition that we deserve. Don't forget Vance in the 7th inning stretch competition. My vying for Derrek Lee's home run ball on Friday went from the coolest NSBB poster moment of the month to a distant third on coolest NSBB poster moments of the last 4 days pretty quickly. :) I was interviewed one on one by Gail Fischer in the bleacher box seats before the first pitch of the 2006 home opener... I almost caught the Cubs first home run in 2007... by Z. :x

And they have started. Right now its the Angels... Mike Scioscia.

They can sit in the dugout. Mark Prior did a couple times this year.

T-minus 31 hours.

On http://www.Cubs.com , there's a link to some workout day press conference. It says it'll start at 2:30 and end at 5?? When I click on the video, it says "No action in pressroom right now." but I assume there will be something.

Such a long time... :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: I'm going to lose my mind waiting around for this thing to start. No kidding. At least I have class all day tomorrow and Wednesday to help ease some of the tension. You're lucky. Seven hours of foreign language class each of the next two days actually had me rooting for day games to keep me occupied during the afternoons. Wednesday night feels a week away. T-minus 44 hours.

T-minus 45 hours until the first pitch.

Hoffman has Mariano Rivera'd the last two days. Thank you Barrett! Things are going perfect... Almost too perfect...

Can't clog the bases, dude. Hitting, not walking, etc.

Did we actually think a guy with the last name "Baker" would walk? Nope.

Rockies If you feel like scoring, If you got the notion, I second that emotion.

IN BIZARRO WORLD!

Barrett will get on base. I'm calling it.

Oh boy. Hawkins.

I thought this was Scott?

Red Sox. -Historic park -Passionate fans -"Curse" Bill James?

So how long into coverage/broadcast on TBS will they mention the following: -$300 million -Z's fight with Barrett -Lou's ejection Within the first 2 innings of game 1 is my bet.

It's not like they're long posts. Mostly 1-liners.

Content with year one. He did just enough. At times, he can be one of the most dominant players. Hope to see more of that as he settles in even more and becomes the face of the franchise for years to come.

Done and done. And concerning Barrett, I doubt he catches tomorrow. Not with Peavy on the mound. I heard somewhere about Peavy not liking Barrett catching him... But I honestly think they can work past it. Barrett owns Josh Fogg, and San Diego's terrible offense can use all the help they can get.
