    Wow. John Miller simply can't read the cue cards.

    "What could be his final start..." Lord almighty. How many times will the media fall for this.

    What a craptastic Taco Bell Chicken Cesear Salad Burrito commercial. Yet it makes me very much want to buy one.

    Come on Rocket! Let's keep this boat in the water!!!

    Have the cubs won five in a row??

    Wait, Baseball America has the answer:

    Wait a second this is confusing...according to an article from BP...

    YES! YES! KOREA WINS! THE US STILL HAS A CHANCE! \:D/

    I think the Koreans would love to push the Japanese out of the tournament. There's a big rivalry there that extends well beyond baseball.

    Yikes. Have to wait until I start making six figures a year then....

    The quote through me off to. What I'm guessing is that he'd have to have the shoulder scoped (very uninformed opinion) or something else that would delay his game significantly, but since it's not his throwing arm they don't have to. Which means I think we can expect this to pop up once more or so during the season, and probably he'll have surgery after the season is over???

    How much are these running for? What is the price range?

    This can't be real. If this happens, I'll drink that whole 500 ml bottle of Pilsner Urqell that's sitting on my shelf.

    I thought Hill played some 3B also? I'd rather see him backing up Ramirez than Mabry. Gary Gaetti he is not. How ironic would that be? Hill backing up Ramirez... :lol: Man I love it when Hendry fleeces other teams.

    It was an osprey. They weren't endangered at the time (not sure about now), but they were recognized by Florida as a bird of special concern. There were actually two ospreys, Ozzie and Harriett (I don't recall which one Ryu hit). I believe an autopsy revealed that the one he killed had some type of disease anyway, although I may be thinking of something else. I remember the Cubs decided they couldn't keep him at Daytona after the incident, so they sent him back down to Lansing for the rest of that season, then jumped him up to West Tenn the next year. I believe he got a fine and community service but no jail time. Ohhhh yeah. I remember this. I thought we were talking Randy Johnson-esque bird killing.

    Wow. Very interesting. And very telling as well. Didn't the Cubs just get a new guy for scouting draft picks though? Let's hope he does a better job than this. Ouch. Oh well, as always, at least we're not the Brewers. :lol:

    How terribly ironic would it be if we started Wood before Prior?

    So, pretty much, we're rooting for Korea here.
  20. Balsa
    Still you better put it on a sheetcount just as a precautionary measure.
  21. Balsa
    Well let's hope this is like Wood's knee surgery that took less time to recover from than Aramis's infected finger.

    I was pretty surprised to see Rogers confront Dusty so blatantly about pitchcounts and pitcher abuse. I think that the number of pitches each pitcher can throw without cause for worry can differ dramatically, for instance, Z appears to have a pretty strong arm, but the case with Guillen really shows how few pitches those starters threw. I wonder if that isn't a case of the starters going the same amount of innings, but just pitching more efficiently though. Or maybe being able to rely on a stable bullpen, Guillen felt comfortable pulling the starters earlier.

    Your printer is broken but the Cubs won't let you know for 3 weeks. LMFAO :lol: Try the "Towel Trick"... I think maybe we need the printer to have a few more simulated prints before we can make a decision on whether it will print properly or not. Good idea. But it's NOT an injury. It's just a program designed to built up toner strength. We still expect the printer to make its first scheduled printing in three weeks. We can't risk another printer injury. I say we just send it under the screwdriver now, and hope that it recovers quickly.

    I wonder what they were.... :-k

    After the '94 strike I lost all my interest in baseball. Many cite '98 as when they came back to the fold. Not even then for me. Sure, if I was bored, I'd turn on a game, but I was busy doing other stuff and didn't care too much. It was the '03 season that really brought me back. I still can't believe game 6 happened. I still find myself saying "Five outs, five outs away." I knew after that we didn't stand a chance. You can't lose that game and have much morale left. I still have those Tribunes from the '03 playoffs.
