He completely lost it in the 4th inning after the A's had scored 5 runs to put him ahead. Somehow I doubt it's a career-killer, though.

Gallagher starts tonight vs the Rangers. They gave him a second chance mlb mugshot: http://mlb.mlb.com/images/players/mugshot/ph_451595.jpg

Well, that's not good. Is this more confidence-building?

Cubs agreed to move them to 1:20 to address neighborhood traffic concerns. I think they might have gotten extra night games in exchange, too.

Did I miss any mention of the Sun-Times recycled Globe report about Hill talking about his back injury? I was hopeful, but I've come to believe raw's view that Hill won't be a factor for the Cubs this year.

:yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: Awesome news. I get giddy thinking about Cuban owning this team. Wowzers, very cool to hear! :amen:

AZ broadcast had them 92, 90, 95

Agreed. If you want another way to determine who to ban, just wait until the next time the Brewers lose 2 games in a row and see who is still posting here. Ban the rest. Same here. We've a newly minted mod, who has an itchy trigger finger, so........... We've had a talk with brewersbrewers and will have a talk with other fans of non-cubs teams. There are a few worth keeping around.

I was listening to the middle innings of the Yankees radio broadcast while driving around, and they must have mentioned about 25 times how, in the 2nd inning, after the Yankees had scored 2 and had runners at 2nd and 3rd with no outs, Gallagher k'd Jeter, Abreu and A-Rod to get out of it. They were so appalled it was fantastic to hear!

Good thing the Cubs built up a lead.

San Diego really is that bad, especially on the road.

Ugh, make it stop!

She takes after Dad! ;) She has a hilarious look on her face in that pic.

Thank you JIMMY

Tall, dark, and handsome. and slightly sinister...

retro-causality = Cubs mystique? We'll only know after the fact.

Sheesh, everyone needs to chill out a little bit. And obviously, this thread is going nowhere (except locked).

Welcome to the forum, Ball and Glove! It can be a friendly place for fans of other teams who really do come in peace. ;)

Another "Welcome to the Forum" -- I've had fun reading through your site!

I heard this list of OFs the Mets are interested in. The last word I was use to describe it is "short". ha, true!

There was some speculation on xm that Blake was on the Mets' short list of replacements for Alou.

Welcome to the forums, Amie!

nice!
