    Week 4

    The bad news: I'm being outscored offensively 9.75-2 The good news: McCarthy is getting schlacked Either way it's going to be another close final.
  2. Ugh, I knew something had to have happened when I saw the game was called. Thoughts and prayers to his family, friends and loved ones.

    Week 4

    10.45 lead to the final day with a 1-0 start disadvantage. Fortunately my bats have woken up. Come on team, hole the lead and get to .500!

    So does that mean that if Igawa wasn't on reserve he wouldn't have got any points? Still learning here.
  5. I've seen that video clip for years at Cubs/Cards games at Busch but maybe I was going to the right game in the series. I haven't been to a Cubs/Cards game at Busch since the new park opened, but they're pretty harsh at the Cubs and their fans. Another favorite would be to have a contestant in a game who is a Cards fan that's married to a Cubs fan. They would introduce the contestant and follow with, "whose ignorant husband/wife is a Cubs fan".
  6. Was not aware of that. Time to take in some Sounds games.

    I have the lead, but it would've been huge to get the points off Igawa. Oh well, blame the Manager. In any case, I have the lead but the Lynx have a 1 start tomorrow to my 0. McCarthy could very well decide it. With 5 starts between us today, it'll be fun to see how the deductions affect the scoring. I'd love to get to .500.

    Igawa goes to the bench and it come in as a replacement and dominates. Blue needs to squeeze Hirsh a little more. Sheesh.
  9. I laughed. For the record, I am bigger than I was 5 years ago. It was definitely not the roids that did it.

    Week 4

    Today is a good day. After mowing the yard with either a push or propel mower, today was the day my new riding mower arrived. I put off buying one because mowing our yard is pretty good exercise (which I need). However, with a 9 month old I'd much rather spend that time with her than being outside for 2-3 hours. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v472/DJAXXFAN/newmower.jpg
  13. OMC, I noticed the sig and thought you'd be interested in this story. I was driving to take the baby to stay with the grandparents and take the route through Bruceton, Tennessee. There are banners everywhere announcing a big fish fry and "pre NFL Draft party" in honor of Patrick at the local city park. I may be going through town while it's going on tonight and stop by.
  14. Sammy has his faults (don't we all?), but the good certainly outweighs the bad. I'll always appreciate the great moments I had watching him play. Being at Wrigley for Game 1 of the '03 NLCS when he went yard will probably be the greatest sporting moment I see live. It's sad that the media chose to avoid a lot of the good he did. On his rehab with the Jaxx (a story I have shared before) there was a lot of things that didn't make the news. The fact that he had a limo certainly made the news, but the great things he did for the Jaxx players and their families was awesome. Too bad a lot of those things missed the articles. Always a fan.

    attention my players: STOP GETTING HURT! Complete disappointment by my team after a huge week against NSBB. I expect to be down around 65 with 3 days left. I'm holding out hope on the fact that I have the start advantage 5-3. I need Sanchez to be able to get some innings and for Gaudin to get a QS to have a remote shot at getting back in this one.
  16. I couldn't agree with this statement any more. Not the same game but I'm assisting with a youth girls softball team as a favor to a friend. At the second practice I was asked by the coach to catch for one of our starters. I counted her pitches and stopped around 30 pitches and told her to go to the infield for her next assignment. The head coach thought I was crazy for not only counting her pitches, but for stopping her at only 30.
  17. I thought that had to be a fake
  18. Russ Ortiz needs to hit another batter :shock:

    I'd probably make a trade for one of them.
  20. It was a bloody sock from the World Series that was donated to the HOF. Apparently the sock from the ALCS was kept. This according to ESPN.
  21. Couldn't be any more thrilled for Sammy. Absolutely loving what he's doing.
