  1. A petty win for Cub fans everywhere right? According to my calculations the Cards cannot clinch against us now. Correct?
  2. Wow this pitcher is so good at gettng ahead in the count!
  3. Ump fakes getting spat on. Terrible call. Hope they get fired up.
  4. I like how we all get pissed when someone swings at the first pitch and makes an out, but if they get a hit we congratulate them for jumping all over the first pitch. Never seen anyone applaud first pitch swinging. Really? I have. Swinging at the first pitch by itself is not a bad thing, but if its a trend that's not working, it can be really bad. There are different scenarios depending on scouting reports, placement in the order, how the pitcher fared against the previous hitter, etc. Agreed. However, it seems when the Cubs do it there is no such strategy involved. Just impatience. Soriano leadoff homers were fun but I like to see the pitcher leave the inning with more than 5 pitches.

  6. Cubs leadoff hitters only get paid if they swing at the first pitch.
  7. How have the Cardinals played FIVE more games than us?
  8. LOL Cardstalk forum EXPLODING with redneck anger over call at home. Claiming they get every call at home! Yes, those calls have been so helpful in all our championships!
  9. Wainright's hand probably got jacked up and now he has super powers like Henry Rowengartner's arm in Rookie of the Year.
  10. Who honestly didn't see that coming? So obvious.
  11. The Seinfeld music.
  12. I wrote in "HAHAHAHA Wipe Out" by the Surfaris.
  13. I didn't say anything about the high socks affecting actual physical ability. Neifi single-handedly campaigned to have the Mendoza line renamed the Perez line, sure, but at least he was wearing his socks properly while doing it. no, im saying he looked like an idiot Neifi's bulbous ass and chicken legs and general awfulness ensured he looked like an idiot no matter how he dressed. Why must you be so vivid? I had finally blocked his image out.
  14. I'd have trashed the Cubs too if they fired me just to appease some of their crybaby players. Stoney was the man. I never understood the sudden hate on him. You haven't heard a baseball game called unless you heard one by Harry and Steve. Those were good times. Some people drink a little too much kool aid and can't form opinions that go against the grain. I never understood the hate either. So what the guy could predict what was going to happen? Why is that a big deal? It's better than two guys in the booth joking about a player's name for an entire inning.
  15. They could call it Fart Field for all I care as long as we win a championship.
  16. Harry's last game... Sandberg's last game at Wrigley... "Jurassic Bark" episode of Futurama... Bears release Fred Miller. All in one day. Tears, Tears, Tears, Tears of Joy.
  17. Favorite: Stone Least: anyone dork (drunk/frat boy/other) who thinks their impression of John Campanera doing an impression of Will Ferrell doing an impression of Harry Caray is funny.
  18. Much like Ben Seaver in the episode of Growing Pains where Ben was spurned by self-centered rocker Jonathan Keith played by guest star Brad Pitt, I will run home and tear down the named-player's poster that is hanging above my bed.
  19. The trib link is loaded with great quotes:
  20. Wood & Prior in the rotation? http://www.fannation.com/truth_and_rumors/view/25392 http://www.suntimes.com/sports/baseball/cubs/621833,CST-SPT-dusty26.article
