I'm a little surprised that Z isn't wearing long sleeves today.
-
aren't you in TX? He could have a TV in his room. The game is televised nationally today. 2 pm starting time according to the team.

Now the tarp is coming back off, according to Pat.

Tarp back on. :(

We won't start on time, but we'll get it underway pretty soon!

Feh, lets all use the game thread so it's recorded for prosperity! It's pretty much like a chat room in here anyways. Isn't that supposed to be posterity...... or posterior..... or something ?? :wink: Watch it, Grandpa, or I'll break your hip.

At least Z is rested after Lou pulled him in Game 1.

Dammit, I was hoping to be the first one to throw in the towel this year. :p

If it were me, I'd use "Gonna Fly Now" from the Rocky movies. But I'm weird like that.

Actually, I feel the same way about the powder blues of the 70's that everyone else does about the blues of today. Those were some fugly unis right there. They looked very Bush League.

Have we had this Corey Bailey guy all spring? I've never heard of him until today. -
I loved the blues! I was really happy when I heard they were coming back.

I'll just make my WS predictions. Mets over Tigers in 6.

Triple H is gonna kick your ass for that.

WGN Radio: Vote for Cubs Opening Day Song

i think you mean "Send in the Clowns," from Stephen Sondheim's "A Little Night Music" /shame Yes. I am ashamed I screwed this up. :cry: -
I'm sure if Dempster gets to be too bad, he'll be moved back to the pen in some capacity and Marshall or Gallagher will be called up.

No "Here Come the Clowns?" -
I think the number one thing that baffled me this offseason is the extreme Dempster hate. And by that I mean hating on his abilities, not hating on the actual man. He wasn't terrible as a closer for us last year. I'll grant you, in non-save situations, he sucked. Even I said that. But when the game was on the line, he usually shut the door. How many blown saves did he have last year? Anyone? Bueller?
-
Yeah Erik, I know. I take it that you're being sarcastic. As you are well aware, I'm just wanting a copy for my own safe keeping. I'm not trying to make any profit from it. Dude, I was just kidding. Lighten up. I couldn't care less if you tape the game or not.
-
Because Dempster sucks less?
-
Don't you know that those games are not to be rebroadcast or retransmitted without the express written consent of Major League Baseball?

Geovany Soto has been to Mars. That is why there is no life on Mars.

Geovany Soto.

No, but I sure was expecting around 25. Now it seems like we're hoping for 15 or so. As Soul mentioned above, where is he going to be in 2-3 years from now? Scary...in a bad way. Hopefully we're able to unload him on some poor sap before his contract becomes an albatross. Although it'll probably cost us a boatload of good, young farm talent before someone agrees to take him. And then we can all thank Jim Hendry. the cubs have enough revenue where they can afford to have a bad contract. manny ramirez sure wasn't worth $20M last year, and he won't be worth that much this year either. gary matthews jr and torii hunter will be badly overpaid by the angels. juan pierre's contract is a train wreck. but all these teams are in contention. even if you're a big market team, you have to be able to develop talent. that's the key, talent development, and not having too many contracts where the guy's performance is far below what he's being paid to do. But the Cubs don't have a seemingly unlimited budget like the Yanks or Red Sox do. There are budget concerns, and I'm afraid that several years down the road Sori's contract will handcuff us to the point where we won't be able to sign or trade for key pieces of the team.
