    I'm sticking with MLB.com Gameday until someone can improve on it.

    In that video, Kerry throws the sickest slider I or anyone else has ever seen to one of the Stros' lefthanded batters. Just a thing of beauty. It's sad that both he and Prior could have been doing this non-stop for the last four years if there was such a thing as karma.

    One of the saving graces of having Pierre in the lineup is that Dusty will never EVER be tempted to lead off with Neifi or Mabry as long as he's starting. Oddly enough, if we end up making the playoffs I have a strong feeling that we'll look back and note that Pierre was the key acquisition to make it happen. I can't wait to see Slap Nasty in action.

    I had Victor Martinez so I also got a point.

    Whelp, that's one HR Derby point for me and anyone else who picked Thome.

    It's between that and Sammy's Game 1 blast, but it's impossible for me to pick. I went apes**t when Sammy hit that thing.

    Hung over implies that Freel won't be drinking the day of the game.

    Not allowed. I agree. 2nd favorite teams are crap. You can enjoy watching a certain team play but you can't openly root for them unless it's the playoffs and your team is done. Well they are a distant 2nd. I'm going to the Cards\Sox game this year in Cardinal gear with a bunch of Sox fans. GO SOX!

    You can; you'd just be behind those with active streaks alive. We'll all be back at 0 at some point, so it doesn't matter... YOU all might be... :wink:

    I was sort of hoping that Murton would get a little higher up in the order...I would prefer that Dusty doesn't bat the rookies 7-8 all year unless they deserve it, and IMO Murton can bat 6th.

    It only took one batter for the first bad call of the season to go the White Sox's way. Buehrle K'd Sizemore looking on a pitch that was clearly high and inside.

    This is why I want kids, to train them in the ways of the Cubs. :D What time does the game start abroad, Marco?

    I have never had the chance to live in or near Chicago, but my grandfather gets the Chicago Tribune on occasion, and I really like their Cubs coverage.

    I have a 2:00 astronomy class that is not being attended. My teacher won't be at my 1:00 so I just have to take the quiz his grad assistant is administering and then dash to my dorm to, for the first time ever, watch a complete Cubs Opening Day game. :D
  17. Andy
    Me too. That team was the definitive reminder of why I love sports.
  18. Andy
    I'm in as ndistops obviously. Oddly enough, my nickname beforehand was sosa756. I created that account some time ago... Pick 1 will be Victor Martinez. Bow to your sensei everyone.

    I will finish 3rd in both the NSBB Yahoo and Facebook pools regardless of Monday's result. Pretty darn good especially after my hideous flameouts the last two years.
  20. Andy
    I'm eternally optimistic until the first pitch is thrown. From then on I am waiting for the inevitable double plays with the bases loaded, strikeouts with a man on third with less than 2 outs, bullpen collapses, etc.
  21. Andy
    My perfectly worthless astronomy class takes a backseat to the Cubs on this day. :D
  22. Andy
    I haven't heard anything about him so I'm guessing he's good to go.
  23. Andy
    If the Cubs win that game, Kerry becomes a demigod in Chicago and no one cares that he's never been reliably healthy since. I'm certain of this.
  24. Andy
    My hopes are higher than last year, when I predicted the Cubs to finish 2nd more out of hope than belief. This year, we'll have both Woody and Prior back by the end of May, we add another good pitcher in Miller in May, and we have a better offense, headlined by a leadoff man who can actually get on base and a guy batting 2nd who actually belongs there. We have a good closer for the whole season, and a bullpen that will be better than last year's at worst, and blow it out of the water at best. We probably won't win the division or get to the playoffs - but this team has a ceiling that could enable it to this time around. The Cards are mortal, and there really isn't one giant in the whole league. If ever there was a year for the Cubs to sneak in the back door and make it all the way to the Series, 2006 would be it. I can't wait. Go Cubs! :D

    BASEBALL :D I can't wait. Seems like I've been on NSBB forever already but oddly this will be the first Cubs game I get to enjoy with all of you. This will be great! Jon, are you sure about no blackouts for Wednesday? Every time the Cubs had a weekday game on ESPN last year it was blacked out in the Muncie area (never mind the fact that we don't even get Comcast Sportsnet...).
