    Lieber in, and so is Reed. Great job all around.

    I'm all for honoring the dude. Give every player in the majors jersey patches if you want to. I just don't see the point in retiring the number if it's going to be allowed to be worn. I know it's a different issue, but I'd be ticked if a Bull wore MJ's 23 no matter what the intent was. Do you know who Jackie Robinson is? Thank you for addressing the point. I know full well who Jackie is. He deserves honoring. But if you're retiring a number league-wide, retire it 365 days a year, not 364. You might as well let people wear it year-round anyway - that's what a lot of people were doing before Bud retired it.

    Geovany Soto.

    Freaking Rich.

    Am I the only one who thinks the 42 thing is kind of stupid? Nope. What's stupid about it? What's the point of retiring a number in the first place if you're going to let it be worn again every year? Gee, I don't know...maybe to freakin honor him? You're honoring him by retiring the number!!!

    Terrible AB.

    Alright, next start let's get Lou to tell Rich he already pitched the first inning and see what happens.

    heh, i never thought about that. that's funny. Would it still be a sac fly if an outfielder dropped a fly ball, but the runner from 3rd still scored? Seems like it would. No, that would be reaching on an error, no RBI, I assume. Geovany Soto. That doesn't make any sense. So the fielder makes a mistake, and the hitter is penalized? I know that usually if a run is scored in the case of an error, no rbi is recorded, but in this case the run would be scored, regardless of the error. I would guess you can't assume the sac fly, just like you can't assume a DP even if Theriot flings one over Lee's head trying to double up Carlos Lee. No matter how obvious it is, you can't score it that way. And Morris throws the best pitch of his life (never seen him throw a curve like that) followed by Sanchez making a ridiculous backhanded play. That's my Cubs.

    Corey is leading the NL in homers. Alright Riot! Two on one out, let's go PIE!

    Thank heavens. Let's get them back now. Fuku and Soto can go a long way toward making that happen.

    Pirates tie the ML record with 2 sac flies in an inning... We should take OPR out after this inning and let Lieber go for a few.
  16. Andy
    2-1 pitch was a strike. Again. And now it's bases loaded again.
  17. Andy
    Well done by Felix. Too bad Rich is about three pitches away from serving up a three-run shot.
  18. Andy
    Ump squeezing Hill now, as if Rich wasn't doing bad enough on his own.
  19. Andy
    OPR looks like crap.
  20. Andy
    Well, crap. Now it's time for Rich to mentally implode. :wink:
  21. Andy
    Let's get the first http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c124/bnance82/cubssweepsx1.jpg of the season!!
  22. Andy
    No shame in Wood's outing. Giving up a solo shot to a good fastball hitter like Bay will happen from time to time...the important thing is that he immediately stopped the bleeding and made the next three batters look like chumps and kept the Cubs in it. Exactly. He made one mistake and a good fastball hitter picked on it. It's not as if Bay 'crashed' it. In fact, I distintively remember hearing that the commentators were surprise that the ball got out. Otherwise, it was definately a good outing--excluding one pitch---for Wood. It surprised me, too. DeRosa hit a ball earlier that was hit seemingly harder.
  23. Andy
    Wow, Fontastic batting 2nd and Soto playing again. Surprised to not see any other regulars besides DeRo getting the day off. I like this lineup, though.
  24. Andy
    I'll wager that Fontenot bats ahead of Blanco. Split the lefties up, you know.

    I read that as baldness. Odd, I read that as oldness. Potato, potahto I guess. :)
