  1. We need Bruce's input. Why not release Cotts? God, this whole "we need a lefty" mentality is stupid. He sucks! Get rid of him!
  2. Sportscenter showed it too. Note: Alou wouldn't have caught that ball anyway. Let it go.
  3. Looking to buy tickets off of StubHub for the May 8th Cubs/Brewers game in Milwaukee. I'm looking at some seats in section 129 for $45 apiece. Before I purchase them, I have a question: How reliable is Stubhub? I don't want to get ripped off, go all the way into Milwaukee only to be turned away at the gate because my tickets are bogus. I've never used Stubhub before, but I know a lot of you have. Advice is greatly welcomed.
  4. This. Looks like I'll be bored out of my mind at work again today. And I've got class tonight so I'll miss the first few innings. If baseball was meant to be played at night, there would be enough light in which to do so. 1:20 games at Wrigley are how it's supposed to be. It's kind of weird. I'm an ultra-purist on some things, but yet I'm in favor of things like interleague play.
  5. Whee! Off to bed to rest up for a rich, full day of housework tomorrow. ....... maybe I'll stay up for a bit.
  6. I think they should announce that anyone in the stands planning on having children, or that already have small children, should force them with all of their might to make them left handed because that's how much you can suck and still make millions of dollars. I was just saying, if I'd known then what I know now I'd have spent hours at a time working on my pitching when I was younger. If I threw 15-20 mph faster I'd be making 450K/year right now as a pitcher. I ask my dad the question all the time why he didn't force me to do things lefthanded when I was little. I mean seriously all you have to be able to do is throw mid-high 80's with an average secondary pitch just to get noticed by a MLB team and you could at least find a spot in the minors somewhere. I hope this line of thinking goes the way of the dodo in the next 10 years or so. It's so antiquated. There is no need for a crappy lefty when that roster spot can be used for a good righty. It doesn't matter what hand he throws with. As long as he gets people out. I don't care if I have 5 lefties in my bullpen or zero, just so long as they can all get people out on a regular basis.
  7. Yeah, Lou's lineup card is a real Picasso. It is. You don't understand a damn thing that's going on, much like a Picasso painting.
  8. Plus they're good teams. Yes, but as poorly as the Cubs have traditionally played in those two locations, I fear losing 5 of 6 is not out of the realm of possibility. You realize that the upcoming Marlins series is in Wrigley Field ? Uh.... yeah. Of course. :-" 8-[ 8-[ 8-[

  10. Win as much as we can in this series and in St. Louis, because we don't play well in Arizona or Florida. We'll be lucky if we play .500 ball those 6 games.
  11. The entire organization, from the GM right down to whoever sews the jerseys seems so completely bush league.
  12. Yeah, go. They're going to do everything they can to get this in. There may be a delay but I don't see them completely canceling the second game in a row. If it does get called, would they do a day-night tomorrow? An entire day of baseball on my day off? Yes, please.
  13. To his dying day, my brother will swear that LaRussa flipped him off at a game in Milwaukee when he was still managing the A's. My brother asked for an autograph during pregame warmups and LaRussa shot him a bird. My brother couldn't have been older than 7.
  14. I agree it's a BS suspension, and I can see why Bradley would want to fight it, but I hope the team convinces him to just drop it and serve it when he's not 100% anyway.
  15. Miles walks. Come on, Joey. Don't be completely useless.
  16. THey'll walk him and pitch to Gathright. Or not
