  1. I don't know what Theo and Jed liked so much about him in the first place. He really didn't do stupid stuff like Dusty but he was so vanilla and boring. I can't remember once hearing something from him that sounded insightful. Not sure what he could have done during the extensive interview process that impressed them so much.
  2. Other teams should be much more respectful like the Braves celebration the night before. http://wapc.mlb.com/atl/play/?c_id=atl&content_id=30905403&topic_id=8879214
  3. Looking at the rest of the Pirate lineup, getting through Walker-McCutchen-Morneau-Jones was more important. I really hope it is that and not Sveum giving in to Gregg's crybaby antics but I doubt it.
  4. I thought we were going to let Strop close for the last week of the season?
  5. Or Marshall could have just caught it. Jim Brown is not happy.
  6. Are the refs sure he wasn't down by contact on that one as well?
  7. We can't take away any AB's from Donnie Murphy.
  8. WTF Dale, is Rizzo now in a platoon with the great Cody Ransom?
  9. Vin Sculley is the only opposing team announcer that doesn't ruin Cubs road games on Extra Innings. How much work must he do to study for each game? Seems like he can talk forever and just throw out one fact after another. Donnie Murphy wanted to play at Long Beach State but did not qualify academically. Two thoughts: 1) Pretty amazing Sculley does enough research on a pretty unknown player like Murphy to get that info. 2) How dumb must Murphy be that he couldn't qualify academically at Long Beach State? Not exactly Stanford.
  10. One of my pet peeves is people assigning rotation numbers to pitchers as if there are 5 specific positions in the rotation you need to fill. Completely arbitrary and meaningless. I have no idea what "numbers" Jackson, Shark and Wood are but they are a solid group to build a rotation from.
  11. Another Castro hit! This game can't get any more bizarre!
  12. We're owed like three million breaks as Cubs fans. No need to give them back. Don't be that guy.
  13. Can't really be too upset since the Padres pretty much gifted us the two runs in the top of the inning as well.
  14. That's using your head! I'll be here all week! Tip your servers!
  15. He better hope for his own sake that Donnie Murphy didn't hear him running his mouth or he will be in for a long day.
  16. If Castro didn't have enough problems he now seems incapable of transferring the ball from his glove to his throwing hand without dropping it. Second time tonight it has happened.
  17. You keep saying that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
  18. Promote him now while he is hot.
  19. Now Gwynn rubbing some salt in the 1984 wound.
  20. Jeez they are telling the billy goat curse story on the Padres broadcast. I guess any inning now they will work their way to an in depth Bartman conversation.
