  1. Hey, I didn't boo anyone.
  2. I felt the O-Line gave Orton the necessary time to get passes off, but Orton screwed the pooch one too many times. And if Tampa doesn't want Jeff Garcia, the Bears should ask about the availability of his services. Garcia is way better than anything we have right now. A half way decent qb that can hit someone for 15+ yards more than once per 12 attempts would be welcomed with open arms.
  3. This team needs a quarterback in the worst way.
  4. No it wasn't. Reliant Stadium (Houston Texans) was. Thanks!
  5. Was MinuteMaid Park damaged by the hurricane? I've been out of town for the last week and I'm way behind on the hurricane news.
  6. I'm looking forward to seeing Geo get several days off these last couple of weeks, he deserves it. I'd like to see that as well.
  7. I think the Yardbirds should fire LaRussa and hire Yost.
  8. I take that back. The announcers were the one's who gave me the info. The wife heard them say it and then she told me. I thought she read it on her computer somewhere.
  9. I can't provide a link, but right after I posted it, the guys announcing the Cub game just mentioned it as well.
  10. That's too bad. I really liked Yost........ managing the Brewers. :-))
  11. I'm sure I'm late to the party, but I just heard that Ned Yost got fired.
  12. Ahhh. Jealous. But you gotta hit those sports books... Ironically enough, I was in a Sports Book watching the football game. As far as I knew, the Cub game got played at normal start time (1:00 pm PST) and WGN just wasn't airing it. I spun my chair around in the Sports Book to watch the football game on the biggest tv and couldn't see other sporting events, except for the ESPN Sunday night baseball game, which was the White Sox, a game I cared nothing about.
  13. I was in Vegas with bare bones tv channels.
  14. Only got to see the final out of yesterday's game when ESPN went to bonus coverage. Didn't even know the Cubs were playing. When I flipped it to WGN at gametime yesterday, they just said they weren't broadcasting the game. Did they actually broadcast it later when the game finally did play?
  15. Are the Cubs playing two today? I just got back in town and I'm trying to figure out when they are making up the other PPD game.
  16. Congrats and good luck.
  17. Because they either haven't seen the umpteen times this year that the Cubs failed to move runners over on sac bunt attempts, or their brain cramps made them forget all those failed attempts.
  18. Burned out on Vegas my ass. I'm there for work. My work will be done at 9:58am on Sunday morning. I don't drive home from Vegas on Sundays, thus, I have 2 minutes to get to the sports book.
  19. I'll be at a sports book somewhere watching all the games. I'm sure I can find one of those somewhere in Vegas. :wink:
  20. I hope the Yankees sign him to be Rivera's set up man.
  21. I actually like it when a hitter squares up on the first pitch (as if he is going to bunt). Anything to shift the defense a little bit might be enough to punch the ball through the infield or over a defenders head. But, to actually try to bunt someone over with someone like Soto is just plain dumb. Brandon Phillips did it last night to get the go ahead run across. Although Phillips actually made contact, but it luckily went foul. Not sure how fooled the defense really was in that instance, since there were 2 outs at the time.
  22. Hendry needs to rip Piniella for his Dustyesque performance today.
  23. The Soto bunt was horrible, you're right. But as I mentioned in the game thread, pitching to Izturis was the right call. He's not good at baseball. You should assume that Carlos Marmol can strike him out and then retire Schumacker somehow. Loading the bases with one out for Skip Schumacker, a good hitter with good speed, would've been the wrong call. I know exactly how bad Izturis is. However, the one thing that has been a constant for the light hitting punk he is, is his ability to put the ball in play. Feel free to take a look at his K's per AB and come back and tell me it was the right call to let a light hitting, contact hitter swing away with an open base. He K's once about every 16 AB's.
