I'll admit, he did get away with some hanging curves... But the important thing is he threw a lot of strikes.

What do you do?

Popout to the infield.. CUBS WIN! CUBS WIN! CUBS WIN!

Uh oh..

Groundout to Izzy... 2 down.

Why did he only get 1 out??

Grounder to 2B... 1 down.

Angel Guzman will go for the save.

Lets get this win!

Benitez in.

Demp scheduled in the 9th?

Pure Heat: MLB Flame Throwers is on CSN at 2, before the Cubs game. I have a feeling it'll be like MLB Bloopers, but with a different theme?... Anyone else gonna watch it?

Agreed. ESPNEWS is probably the channel I most watch. It's constantly on my TV... Usually when nothing else is on... Which is common. The thing is, they have to fit it under a half hour... So analyze = no no.

http://www.log24.com/log/saved/Quantum_Baseball.html This is a very slippery slope for those of us who are superstitious :wink: there is the theory that we change our universe simply by observing it. there have been several fairly conclusive tests done with a particle cannon and hi-speed microscopic cameras that prove as much. I believe they shot electrons through holes and watched how they ended up on the other side. When they weren't watching, the result was different. I know I've seen a google video on this, I just cant find it right now. EDIT: FOUND IT! :o Google Video exactly what i'm talking about. great find! i first saw it on "what the bleep...?" Double slit theory or not, it is clear to say that the fact that people are watching has a great effect on your performance. Could be the body's natural reaction like seen in that video, or it could be emotional.

With 9 games left.... His next start should be on the 28th Vs. Colorado (4 day rest)... Then maybe a minor league start on opening day... (another 4 day rest)... and his first Major League start fits right on April 7th Vs. Milwaukee... 4 day rest, once again, because of the offday.. but also just in time for the 5th starter's spot...

Isnt Kerry Wood scheduled to pitch in this game? Match-ups (San Francisco Giants) Vs. Carlos Zambrano http://img292.imageshack.us/img292/5281/zvsgiantsjl2.jpg Match-ups (Chicago Cubs) Vs.

Peter Gammons is one of the few guys on ESPN that favors the Cubs... Him and Mike Wilbon.

The only person missing on that show is Ozzie Guillen.

Isnt Dusty on that? I wouldn't recommend it at all, unless you're in for a good laugh. Yup, I'm into comedy. I'm also a discerner of good baseball information, so I can tune him out, dude! "I know the Cubs are 20 games above .500 this early in the season, but I still think they made a big mistake letting go of Neifi Perez."

No. of Sports Emmy Award Nominations Gus Johnson: 1 Steve Stone: 0 Joe Morgan: 2 Should get Cancer Joe Morgan: 1 You: 1 Gus Johnson: 0 What is your problem? what are you talking about? That was a little harsh there with the cancer thing, no?

Yeah.. Bob is okay. Nothing special.

Can we get some butterflies into Wrigley, please? :lol: So... One small thing, can effect many others. I'm more into focusing on what happens in the game. Hypothetical example: Soriano gets on base. Murton is up next. Soriano is caught stealing on a failed hit & run. The next pitch, Murton homers to left field. We are then all left saying "Man, why did he try to steal? It would've been a 2 run HR!! That idiot..."... How do we know that? How do we know that the pitcher's mind drastically changed to something as little Soriano being caught stealing 2B, or how do we know that Murton's mindset didnt change because of the failed hit & run? Should we really assume that Murton would've hit the home run anyway? Feel free to post your opinion. Yes!! I've been making this point for years - first time I've seen someone else say it. In philosophy this is related to causation and counterfactuals - it's speaking about a reality that doesn't exist but very conceivably could have existed if a prior causally-related event had happened differently. Is the pitcher's mental state affected by the runner at first? Absolutely. But this also opens Pandora's Box of predestiny and determinism. Are we even allowed to consider counterfactuals? It's possible that Soriano getting caught stealing was predestined from the instant of the Big Bang. Could be. That's tracing the Butterfly effect back to the roots... and it puts faith over free will.
