  1. There's an idea, let's keep letting Ramirez and Getz do all the damage! Schmucks.
  2. Reports are that the streaming video is aces over Wi-Fi and only slightly slower over 3G.
  3. Brewers win in extras, 9-8. Because, y'know, we were all in such great baseball moods already.
  4. I agree with the point you're trying to make here. That [work]week in the 2007 season, that started on Monday with the game against the Rockies in which Howry and Eyre gave up what was a fairly comfortable lead and then the Cubs pulled off a nailbiting comeback against Fuentes in the 9th, and ended on Friday with the Ramirez miracle you mentioned, was the point at which the 2007 team caught fire and pushed beyond middling around at .500 and they went on to win, I think, 17 of 18 of their next 25 after that. The problem is that the 2007 team had all the pieces and for the most part, those pieces were performing as expected - "expected" was simply below the Brewers at the time (who were, to be fair, playing out of their minds). This year, you've got nearly the entire lineup hitting below .250 and the team's most productive hitter is missing for probably another 3 weeks at least. I don't think one thrilling, exhilarating game can change that and set off every needed fire at once.
  5. Lou does that annually: in 2007 and this season, he tried batting Soriano 3rd. In 2008, he started the season with Theriot and Soriano hitting 1-2. It only ever lasts a few games because when it comes to lineups, Lou has the attention span of a child. Now, I don't know wheter the aforementioned decisions were reversed by Lou or by Soriano, but so far as we know, it's not as if they've been jonesing to try it for three seasons and Soriano's put his foot down every time.
  6. Watching Scott Podsednik be allowed to do that is utterly infuriating.
  7. Couple posts up. That wasn't fun. An hour waiting in the rain for SRO, for nothing.
  8. They were discussing this on the ESPN broadcast tonight. They mentioned that Choo could simply not report for his service time, but it would essentially mean he could never return home to South Korea again. Quite a choice.
  9. And yet you know full well that if it comes to that against the Cubs, they'll rattle off a river of 1-2-3 innings.
  10. Has it ever been established why Choo wears the double-flapped helmet despite not being a switch-hitter?
  11. And then Dusty disciplined him for... swinging on the 3-0...? Wait, what?
  12. Yes they do, although the new catch is that if they don't think the park is going to fill up, they won't release standing room, which absolutely bites.
  13. We're always missing someone crucial for the crosstown battles, be it Soriano, Zambrano, Ramirez, someone.
  14. Fine day in the NL Central.
  15. 2/3 of the scoring courtesy of a 2-run homer in the first from some guy named DeRosa.
  16. Radio call: http://home.comcast.net/~bcvm22/cubs/6142009.mp3
