  1. Len and Bob's All-Star discussion is cracking me up, and I'm only reading it on Closed Caption with my TV on mute.
  2. What kind of baseball does this team play?
  3. The last game I listened to on the radio was a few weeks ago, but I could barely even hear Ron. It sounded like he was standing 10 feet away from the mic and mumbling, while Pat was loud and clear.
  4. Still 4+ minutes of penalty to kill...
  5. Doesn't make sense considering they haven't worn it at all since the 15th and now today they randomly are again? I don't get it. A 1-day tribute is great, but anything more than that is just annoying. I can't wait for a basketball game where every player is wearing #23.
  6. It's called playing the percentages. It's what smart managers do to win ballgames. http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Wr6RQ1OrNEQ/SoOnaFWucLI/AAAAAAAAA0g/6VHHTFVLe08/s400/Mr.Burns.baseball.jpg But seriously, I give the Cubs credit that they are trying to do what is best for the team and not handling Soriano with kid gloves.
  7. He couldn't pick up the ball after a double by Weeks which allowed a run to score, and he misplayed a ball off the wall badly, allowing extra bases to be taken. I am typically quick to criticize Soriano, but I didn't think today was a terrible defensive day by his standards. Sure he misplayed the ball off the wall, but that is a mistake that outfielders do make occasionally and it isn't on the same level as dropping routine fly balls. His being removed from the game wasn't a direct result of any defensive misplays. He would have been removed in the double switch whether he had made an error or not.
  8. http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/news;_ylt=AkpQ24hIp2kmNvviix.izLw5nYcB?slug=aw-paxsondelnegro041310 Paxson and Del Negro both need to go, but I don't think the Bulls can afford that much instability going into this year's free agency period.
  9. I have seen ENOUGH... Get him off the baseball field!
  10. Theriot, Fukudome, Lee... Here we go, third time's a charm.
  11. I was about to say the same thing. At this point, I don't think it is an exaggeration to state that Soriano is one of the worst players in MLB. At some point, the Cubs are going to have to pull the plug and concede that the remaining 5 years on their investment are lost. It's still too early in the season for that to happen, but that time may come sooner than later. Personally, I can't stand to watch him anymore.
  12. I'm beginning to wonder whether Colvin's offseason workout routine may have included a special prescription.
  13. So essentially the Cubs will start the season with 3 backup first basemen on the bench? Excellent...
  14. I'm not a Soriano fan, but he hasn't done anything to require forgiveness. I hope he has a good season and I'll be rooting for him to do so, but the blame for his bad contract falls squarely on Jim Hendry.
  15. Not as much as the 'nard dog.
  16. It looks like Cirque Du Soleil is at Assembly Hall from 3/17-3/21. I predict a first round Illini loss.
  17. The Cubs need Kevin Millar about as bad as the Bulls need Lindsay Hunter. The good news is the Bulls finally released Hunter today.
  18. Ty Griffin is 42, so that ship has sailed, but Earl Cunningham is still only 39 so he may still have a couple years left in him!
  19. It may only be the first preseason game, but I can't wait to hear Pat Hughes utter those first words of spring... "Chicago Cubs baseball is on the air".
