On the marriage of Joe DiMaggio and Marilyn Monroe - I don't know if it's good for baseball, but it sure beats the hell out of rooming with Phil Rizzuto When you come to a fork in the road, take it. Think! How the hell are you gonna think and hit at the same time? About Coach Bill Dickey - "He's learning me his experience." I always thought that record would stand until it was broken. I knew I was going to take the wrong train, so I left early. On why NY lost the 1960 series to Pittsburgh " We made to many wrong mistakes". On his plans for the '64 World Series- "It ain't like football. You can't make up no trick plays." Yogi on the 1969 NY Mets....." overwhelming underdogs". Nobody goes there anymore...it's too crowded! Always go to other people's funerals, otherwise they won't come to yours. Pitching always beats batting -- and vice-versa. When asked what time is was......" you mean now?". The future ain't what it used to be. Baseball is 90 percent mental and the other half is physical. It gets late early out here. It's hard to make predictions, especially about the future. Slump ? I ain't in no slump. I just ain't hittin. If people aren't gonna come out to the ballpark, who's gonna stop 'em? It ain't over till it's over. - Yogi Berra

Gonna go out a limb here and predict this homestand will be the Cubs most successful of the year.
-
It's Marmol time.
-
But he can make catching routine fly balls look difficult.
-
He needs to become Pie's mentor.
-
90% cheers. And some fans were standing and cheering. Thanks. Pretty much what I thought. If he performs, all will be forgotten (like Rodman), if he doesn't, it will be Jacque Jones, Latroy Hawkins, etc. all over again.

What was the crowd's reception when Edmonds came up to bat?
-
No, he was good at Wrigley because he was an other-worldly baseball player for a 6 year stretch from 2000-2005; consequently, those were the years he played in the National League Central against the Cubs. So facing the Cubs "pitching staff" (and I use that term loosely) had nothing to do with it? Really? I agree he had good number those years, but facing the Cubs staff had a lot to do with those numbers at Wrigley. Daniel Garaby strikes fear into the hearts of no one. I think he was saying that facing the Cubs pitching staff didn't have much to do with it. Against all of baseball from 2000-2006 Edmonds averaged a 147 OPS+. He was just really damn good. and on steroids.

You got to "hand it" to Jim, afterall, he is a man's man.[attachment=0]Edmonds.jpg[/attachment]

And if that happened, one can only imagine what would be on the half T-Shirts that the infamous "Horry Kow" vendor would start selling.
-
I don't think many people believe, even if Edmonds comes to the Cubs, that he will stick around long. I've heard Wrigley vendors are already selling "half off" Jim Edmonds T-Shirts.
-
He's no Fidel Castro.
-
I can see it now. The Cubs sign Edmonds who in turn opens a new establishment on the North Side called The Unnecessary Dive Bar.
-
Using that logic, maybe the Bulls should bring back Will Perdue - the dude's got 4 rings.
-
Good thing Andy MacPhail along with Belkast, Peace and Big Bird over at Orioles Hangout didn't think Gallagher, Marshall, Cedeno and Veal were enough for Brian Roberts. Some of the best trades . . . .
-
Edmonds was never the same player once his application of eye shadow exceeded his application of cream and clear. Just stay away.
-
Should Marquis Be Sent to the Pen or DFAed?

Don't worry, he's always been a second half of the season pitcher. :roll: -

Sound like the perfect match for Roger - a lot in common. -
Re: Candymaker Mars Inc. buys the Wrigley Company
The Voice of Reason replied to C.C.'s topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
So much for the possibility of the Wrigley Company paying for naming rights to Wrigley Field. http://money.cnn.com/2008/04/28/news/companies/mars_wrigley.ap/index.htm?postversion=2008042808 -

Did he make her take steriods like he forced his wife to? -
You would think the Bowling Hall of Fame would be able to sell itself.
-
Maybe the Cubs can enroll ARam in Hustle/Patience classes.
-
Too bad the Orioles (and Peace, Belkast and Bib Bird) didn't want Cedeno. Brian who?
