  1. Good God. I didn't REALLY think that two runs would be walked in. How could I?!?
  2. Cubs to lost 3-2. Two Rich Hill solo shots give Cubs lead until 8th whereupon various members of bullpen walk in two runs and then Adam Dunn hits go-ahead and eventual winning homer in 9th. :roll:
  3. Damn. That's bad. Its not a dare I'd like to take up, either, really. Sad thing is, I can imagine it happening over Maddux/Williams games. No, I don't dislike them, but I sure as hell feel more jittery when they're on the mound.
  4. Anyone who rhymes Wuertz with first is alright by me.
  5. I'd love to do one if there's room....though I know I'm not that well known or respected here yet, unless people think 'Whoah, I wonder who did the last entry on XXXX thread'. Hell, I couldn't be any more unsuccesful than anyone else recently. Although I might misspell unsuccessful.
  6. He was awful, and I am happy to see his renaissance rather than envious.
  7. Oh, heavens above. I've been out watching football (soccer, perhaps) in the rain tonight, just keeping up with the score on my phone. I was vaguely impressed at half time. That'll teach me. :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: No, as often as I try and walk away there's a gruesome hand pulling me back telling me I've GOT to watch, to care and to want....
  8. Want to see Prior pitch well. That guy rules. Want to see personal gains for Ramirez, Lee and Nomar. Would like to see Murton. Don't much care beyond that. Optimism of yesterday gone.
  9. Under. But it will be a Grand Slam. I reckon zero. With that line-up, confidence continues to exude.
  10. "It's past funny now. It's not funny at all," said Dusty Baker on rumours of him leaving the Cubs. "It's past funny now. It's not funny at all," said the Robot Devil on the Cubs at the moment. I'm optimistic for this game. I really can't wait. I've finished my blind optimism course and I'm really looking forward to it. Go Cubs.
  11. Its always animals that are used to strike the fear into people isn't it? (OK, not always, Giants, Jets, Steelers, Astros, Yankees etc) Its often animals that are used to strike the fear into people isn't it? Why not things that are actually scary? Dusty Bakers With A Line-Up Card (apologies. Couldn't resist. Macias in CF? :shock:). Edit - Massive cutting of post. Voted RazzleDazzle. Reminded me of NBA Jam.
  12. "That's not statistical analysis, that's just comparing two numbers." How is that NOT statistical analysis?
  13. He's taken a barrel-load of pitches at least.
  14. Looks like the 'not doers' are coming through strong. I've always wanted to fence, but that's not really a martial art anyway.
  15. I missed Hill's participation last night, but that's what I've seen so far. On his day - and he's had one or two (literally) in the bigs so far - his curve is demonic, but when he can't find it, equally prevalent so far, he's easy enough to sit on because his heat isn't top quality. As he develops, as I've no doubt he will, that's what he'll have to work on and will be already, I'm sure.
  16. :cry: :cry: I came back in so optimistic. Now, if the Cubs don't score this inning, I'm gonna watch this ending in bed. Again. (This never happens on MVP Baseball)
  17. St. Louis. 05/7/24. wow. 1924. it HAS been awhile then!... :lol: :lol:
  18. :P I got back from the pub at JUST the right time! I got back from the pub at JUST the right time! I've seen one inning. The Cubbies ruled it. Pretty sad that I'm so excited at ONLY being down 3 runs. Must be the beer. :oops: Possibly the same. Optimism rules, though? Right?
  19. You need an excuse? Eat, drink and be.... well, concerned. But optimistic.
  20. :P I got back from the pub at JUST the right time! I got back from the pub at JUST the right time! I've seen one inning. The Cubbies ruled it.
  21. With one out. Sac fly? Edit - realised pitcher was up. Sorry. Didn't realise.
  22. I WISH I'd stayed in the pub. I WISH I'd stayed in the pub. Thanks, A-Ram, at least.
  23. GO CUBS!!!! If I'm staying up past midnight every night to watch you losers, you might as well make it worth my while!! And arguing that the return of Nomar is worth it won't cut the mustard. I demand a W. In other news, is there no pictures of Rich Hill chatting to Maddux during the game the other day? I liked that. The way Maddux was moving his arms and Hill was nodding it had an almost like Jedi-in-training look to it.
