Now this is a guy that I really hope is clean. I don't think anyone would take track seriously anymore if Bolt came out and tested for some sort of PED.
I predicted he'd be back after two-a-days ended. Maybe it will be a little later, but I still think he'll be there sometime this season. LOL, speak for yourself, AC. Yeah, really. goony was right with the timing. I thought he'd come back a little later in the year as soon as the Vikes had a QB controversy. Why else would he still continue to work out after he said he was "retired?" The guy's the definition of a douche.
I disagree that it's unfortunate, since it ensures that the Cubs don't lose an off day. I'd expect the day-night DH earlier in the series, though, to provide some flexibility in the event of bad weather then. Good point.
Guys, it's fine. The Wild Card is still easily within reach. We just have to take care of business against the Padres like the Cards did the next three days.
Pirates come into town Sept 29-Oct 1. I'm going to guess that the game's going to be made up as part of a DH on October 1st. Cubs are off on the 28th of September, but unfortunately the Pirates have the last game of a wrap-around series against LA then.
That's exactly why I wanted to have this game rained out. We get to play the Pirates (more than likely) down the stretch, which could be pivotal. You'll find no complaints at all from me.
If the 2008 was a better team than 2007, how, exactly, has it gotten "progressively worse"? What? I said LOU has gotten progressively worse, not the team. You do realize a manager doesn't really make that much of a difference, right?
The year before that draft, people were saying Brohm could've been the #1 pick in the draft. Yeah, that's not happening. When you go 3/10 with 2 picks and 18 yards against mainly third stringers, you should begin to figure out a different profession. That was really the only negative I had though. The first string offense was on target and the defense did look pretty good even though seven key guys weren't dressed.
Can't really take anything away from this defensively, though. Like 7 of our guys that are supposed to be starting on opening day aren't playing tonight.
