We have a hard enough time paying for the Colts and Pacers. As much as I would love to have a MLB team here, I don't see how it could work.

What happens if the game gets rained out? Will they just play it the next day?

I just hope Clausen can do something to make the game close. Unlikely though with the O line being non existent.

Can I get a quick recap of what happened? I quit watching after the top of the 8th, and the game threads take way to long to read.

Gates open 2 hours before the game starts. Get to the park early, hang out at Murphy's or somewhere that you can see the line, and you should be able to tell when to hop in. For the Cards game a few Saturdays ago, I was in line about 45 mins before the gates opened, the line was already starting to wrap around Wrigley, but we had great seats. Other times there have hardly been lines at all and I have gone in after the gates opened, and still been able to get great seats. There really is no set time, IMO. Just make sure you are there a little before the gates open in case the line is getting long. There is a ton of fun to be had while waiting if there is no line.

or maybe if he played well against good teams he wouldn't be bashed so much either Which big games are you referring to?

I have heard the same thing. From what I hear, Calvin and Russel both wanted 15% more than Williams got last year, and Quinn would take a lot less, close to what was paid last year for Williams.

So was I. But I am sure that by tomorrow morning I will be annoyed with how much press it will get. I can only imagine how many times it will be on ESPN.

Seriously. He sees something wrong - BANG! - within a week he's on the case. I'm loving it. Me too. This is a very welcome change.

I am wondering the same thing. Stuck in a library.

I read somewhere that Naron was watching the baserunners and didn't see where the ball went. Once he saw Edwin walking back to the dugout with bat in hand he wondered why he was coming from home plate area so he watched the replay and saw that he didn't leave the box. I think it's something to be upset about as a manager, certainly. That is what made me curious. Is it normal practice for a manager to go watch video in the midst of a game?

this made me laugh out loud.

Made me think of this Warning: it has a lot of bad words.
