    Side note: There's a local pizza place that makes some freaking fantastic chili cheese fries, but they wont deliver those unless you order a pizza. Is it strange that I ordered a pizza I didn't want just to get some amazing chili cheese fries?

    barrett derosa izturis turds is probably the right expression for that group... at least the first and third batters Thanks, but I'll continue to judge Barrett on his last three years rather than his last two months.

    I don't think anyone is saying he's been bad, but he was directly responsible for the Brewers taking the lead. I can't think of a play outside of Jose Canseco using his head to assist the ball over the fence that directly gave a team runs.

    I must have missed the part where one game is the same as the season. i haven't heard anyone agree with you that our defense is no problem. not our biggest problem, but overall, another problem. Rob is right. I agree with Rob as well. Ahhh, sweet sweet validation.

    Uhhh... Cubs are 7th in the majors (4th in the NL) in team defensive efficiency. So, in general, if a ball is hit in play, we are very likely to make the play compared to other teams. how many times have we complained about barrets defense? about jacques arm? about jacques defense? about murton's defense in right? there not terrible, but they aren't great by any means. I'll agree with you on that. But our defensive woes are far overstated. People may complain all they like, but that doesn't really turn our team defense into a problem.

    Aramis is having a darn good glove night.

    He saw Hendry keep Neifi around, and Neifi did it all the time. Pie probably just figured that was the way to get fast-tracked to the big leagues.

    Is that how you teach the leaders of tomorrow to spell Alfonso?

    Holy mother...

    As a major league catcher, you have to stop that. And it's not like it's a rare occurence or anything. That's his 8th passed ball of the year. Keep in mind it's only June 3rd. What?! Marquis missed by 3 feet. You stop a 90 mph pitch where you transition your wrist completely the other way. Barrett hasn't looked good behind the plate this year, but I'd be inclined to agree if you were to suggest that many of his defensive miscues have been at least partially due to the pitching staff. I was just talking about that one play. It's not as easy as some people are suggesting, even for a ML catcher. Yeah, I was agreeing with you. Hell, I had a hard time making adjustments to 50 mph fastballs in little league when I was behind the plate.

    Interestingly enough, it took us 17 pitches to go down 123... whereas we only needed 19 pitches for the first inning.

    On a similar note, Ryan Braun is a lot smaller than I remember.

    That DP might have been humongous.

    Uh, yeah, we just get a substitute pic... not the one you're looking at.

    Ahhh, of course.

    ... If you're gonna wish, wish for the three-run homer. Okay. Three run home please. Thanks. Good man.
