  1. I hope so. I have the feeling he was a bit too pumped and was overthrowing.
  2. Inning over. I'm really liking how Pat and Keith sound together, but I still miss Ronnie. :(
  3. Alvarez singles to right, Tabata scores. 1-0 Pirates.
  4. Andrew McCutchen pops out to 3B. And I believe that's the first time we've ever gotten him out.
  5. That just irks me. Just sing the song. It's not about the singer.
  6. Ricketts has overplayed his hand. Ticket prices have gone from merely unreasonable to absolutely obscene. If you look back at some of the old games they sometimes show on CSN with Harry they will celebrate 25K in attendance and 2 million for the season. I wonder if in a few years we may go back to that. They should be able to sell ~25,000 season tickets into perpetuity, so I don't think we'll go back to the 1980s definition of success anytime soon. However, by pulling stunts like pricing bleachers for $80 out the door, they've driven the urgency out of the market. In years past, people would buy up April weekends because it just might be the only way to get weekend tickets. Not any more. If July and August come, and the Cubs are well out of it, I wouldnt be surprised if people arent willing to pay those kinds of prices. Pretty much this. If the Cubs tank this year, there's no way they pack the house past the ASB.

  8. Now that Fontneot is gone, who is he going to hammer into the ground before his start?
  9. Don't forget "Ballgame". Oh, and just for the record, when I call "ballgame", it's over. For who's entertainment, exactly? I never said it was entertaining. I said it was factual. Sometimes people don't like to hear the truth.
  10. Don't forget "Ballgame". Oh, and just for the record, when I call "ballgame", it's over.
  11. I don't know what's worse... that dude's jersey, or the fact that someone took a picture of another man peeing and posted it on the internet.
  12. Don't forget "Ballgame". Although it sucks that it's another tough loss to open the season, I have faith in Z tomorrow. We'll be a .500 team by tomorrow night. I wonder why all of a sudden we can't beat the Pirates.
  13. Yeah, if it bursts that leads to a whole host of other problems.
  14. I worked with a guy at my old job who needed an emergency appendectomy. Just 12 hours before he was on the operating table he was fine, we were talking and joking around, and then he went home, went to bed, woke up feeling like warmed over death with a severe pain in his side. His then-gf drove him to the hospital and he was under the knife within the hour.
  15. Geo pops up to shallow right. Inning over. Off to work. Get them the win, boys!
  16. I think the weather has all the rain out of the area by 3 at the latest, so there may be a delay but they'll get this one in.
  17. Yeah, I thought that hesitation was gonna kill him. He was paying too much attention to what was behind him and needed to be focusing more on DeJesus. Agreed.
