    I originally planned to go to a Chicago sports bar in Bay Ridge, but the girlfriend is a bit under the weather. I'll be making burgers and fries at our apartment instead and watching the game on either the ESPN3 app or MLB.TV.

    Didn't our own 2005 Cubs have some terrible injuries? Im thinking Nomar's hammy, Aramis was hurt at stretches, Sammy sneezed or something, Clement got line drived in the head and then, of course, the famous DL adventures of Prior and Woody... and then close to all this, didn't DLee hurt his wrist? Much of this could've happened over multiple years, but for some reason, 2005 sticks in my head as when it all happened. derrek lee broke his wrist in 2006. he was killing it in 2005 (won the batting title and hit 46 home runs). sammy's sneeze was in 2004. you could group prior and wood being on the dl in 2004, as well. clement was hit in the head with a line drive during his stint in boston after he left the cubs. nomar tore his groin in 2005 which gave us this doozy of a picture: http://cache.boston.com/images/bostondirtdogs//Headline_Archives/4.20_nomar_bdd.jpg NEVER FORGET! :)

    i cancelled my mlb audio subscription this year and forgot to cancel the mlbtv option. i was notified via paypal on friday evening that mlb advanced media debited my account. i was 5 beers in at the bar so i didn't give that much of a [expletive].

    that schwarber pic is beautiful! the bat being too big to fit into the picture frame plus his face almost out of frame makes it perfect.

    just found this article from last august: http://www.stlsportspage.com/CARDSBASEBALL/tabid/91/entryid/1908/whatever-happened-to-wendell-kim-the-sad-story.aspx rough way to go out.

    would've made more sense if it was brickhouse opening the pearly gates instead of harry.

    have you forgotten about rizzo's mental lapses in the field? castro's not the only one to do that. if anything, russell would be the backup plan if baez flames out. move castro to second and keep russell at shortshop.

    The first two would be "natural causes." Is this showing up anywhere besides Twitter? I hope it's not actual news. cnn noted it in their article: http://www.cnn.com/2015/01/23/us/ernie-banks-obit/

    "You must try to generate happiness within yourself. If you aren't happy in one place, chances are you won't be happy anyplace." mr. cub. :(

    is addison russell expected to be called up this year? i know the a's had him on the fast track before he tore his hamstring last april, but he's only 20 and i'm guessing the cubs have him on the same "master all minor league levels" before progressing to the big leagues as they did with bryant and baez.

    not only is glendon rusch in this picture, he's wearing a zip-up fleece of some kind while the others (including what looks to be an emaciated kerry wood) are in dress shirts.

    There has been an awakening...have you felt it?

    i'm guessing they meant at wrigley since they swept the nationals in a 4-game series in washington in july 2009. reason i know is that i saw 2 of those 4 games in person.

    this. my jaw hit the floor when he's rounding second and kept glancing at what was going on in the outfield.

    the nba has a drunk in crazy colored plaid suits The NHl "wins" with this [expletive] dirtbag: http://a.espncdn.com/media/motion/2010/0528/chi_100528_melrose_Niemi_Leighton.jpg barry melrose is great in a so-bad-he's-good kind of way. the gray mullet is the icing on the douche cake.

    listening to vin scully do the play-by-play on mlb radio and was too distracted by his perfect baseball announcing voice to notice if mattingly had anyone warming up during the bases-loaded nobody out situation. what an absolute waste of an amazing pitching performance by kershaw.

    i'm using mlb.tv to watch the game and i've just noticed the 9 different camera angles you can choose. has this always been a part of mlb.tv or just for the playoffs? either way, it's wild!

    and castillo just threw a strike to 2nd to gun down a baserunner. WOW!

    consider yourself lucky. i had to sit next to two drunk kids in their late teens spitting chaw all over the place like a couple of assholes.

    still great to see that my baseball tonight vhs recording from 2001 is still making the rounds on the internet. that's the loudest i've ever heard wrigley in person. what a great ending!

    heading up to the cubs bar in the lower east side later on to watch the game. happy days are here again!

    Okay, I've seen an iteration of this posted multiple times, but I don't understand the reference. Can someone explain what this is from? And what exactly is going on? EXACTLY. it's from the movie BABES IN TOYLAND: http://www.sadanduseless.com/2010/02/creepy-fiddle-playing-cat-and-spastic-mouse/ i watched that movie one too many times as a child.

    For some strange reason, I only jumped 30 places in line from July 2013 to July 2014. I jumped 31,500 places from April 2012 to July 2013. I have an email into the season ticket waiting list asking, quite politely, WTF?

    baez and bryant aren't going to be there opening day 2015, much less russell and soler. well, soler maybe if he had more PAs this year, but he hasn't. I understand that Russell had a hamstring issue at the start of the season, but from the sound of what's been posted on Oakland A's boards, it seems that he would've been in AA/AAA for them for most of the 2014 season, if not a mid-season call up if the injury didn't happen. Do we see the Cubs holding him in the minors for another full season? Also, with the way Bryant is hitting at all levels and and Baez starting to put it together on a more consistent basis in Iowa (yes, small sample size over the last 3-4 weeks), do we really think those two won't make it on the opening day roster in 2015?
