    NO-HITTER.

    Shoulda plunked him.

    Not so sure. Have you seen the Brewers' catcher? LOL True, but you'd likely have Santo moaning with ecstatic surprise like the song said. Oh, I love Alfonso. He's so jovial.

    Bob: "Geovanny Soto will be doing the catcher." This game is already so sexy.

    Uhhhhh, the pledge of allegiance? Is this something I've just always missed?

    The wave? Playing music? Playing stuff to get people to clap and cheer? That's almost everywhere now. The stadiums that DON'T do that stuff are in the tiny minority.

    The Ricketts pressing the flesh.

    It's not really the same at all. There was perhaps 1 sentence in there that reeked of sour grapes, but there were a lot of valid points in there describing a terrible experience for watching a baseball game. And they're all things you're going to encounter at pretty much every stadium that isn't Wrigley, Fenway or Yankee Stadium.

    Will fans give Soriano a round of applause today for 2008?

    "Ron Santo will moan with ecstatic surprise." Jesus Christ.

    What the hell is happening right now.
  12. Sammy Sofa
    I'd rather scapegoat the offense.
  13. Sammy Sofa
    Same difference. The experience of going to another team's ballpark and watching your team lose is generally going to be negative.

    WGN as a "national channel" is going to die a pretty gruesome death once the Cubs are off of it.
  15. Sammy Sofa
    Oh man, so close. I'd love to see Byrd hitting #2 and Fukudome leading off against RH pitching.
  16. Sammy Sofa
    excellent contribution to the thread It's a thread by a visiting fan complaining about the home team's ballpark because his team sucked and lost.

    I don't think they are, but I guess you never know. We're fine so far. 2-4 after an opening road trip isn't going to make me lose it. Let's see where we are at the end of the month. Starting pitching has been fantastic. I can't believe our bats will stay this cool. The inability to hold teams in the 8th inning does concern me, but Marmol has been pretty good. I don't know. I'm not as concerned as what I'm hearing from a lot of people so far. The Reds have been a lot of people's surprise picks, and it's primarily due to their pitching. It should be little surprise then that a team that is struggling offensively early in the season is going to continue looking bad against a good, young rotation that many are picking to break out this year.
  18. Sammy Sofa
    That's not what happened. At all.
  19. Sammy Sofa
    Might as well not even show up, AMIRITE.
  20. Sammy Sofa
    Um, Berg is already up. Whoops, meant to say Gray.
  21. Sammy Sofa
    We need him bad. Who goes down when he comes up? Shark or Caridad? Ideally Shark. Ideally both, with 1 of our actually good arms replacing the other I don't really have a problem with Caridad staying up if he's used in more low leverage situations in the meantime. The problem is is that this offense isn't giving the bullpen anything but high leverage situations, so really been no room for that kind of strategy right now. I'd say bring up Stevens as well as Berg, but I'd almost rather Stevens stay down and keep getting starts if the offense continues to look like crap.
  22. Sammy Sofa
    Fortunately, we got to see that tonight, no thanks to Hoffman. Excellent.
  23. Sammy Sofa
    I'd much rather see the Cardinals lose.
  24. Sammy Sofa
    "So far this season" is 6 [expletive] games, and Soto and Soriano haven't even played in all of them. Talking like the Cubs need to seriously start considering starting Colvin fulltime or counting on [expletive] Castillo is beyond insane.

    To have a firesale dont you need to have expensive players someone else would want? A lot of teams would like to have Lee, Lilly, and Ramirez. Probably Fukudome too. I can see Lilly and Ramirez. Lee might net some good return too. Fukudome...I dont think we would get a lot. All have no trade clauses anyway. Again, you flat out tell a player that you're not going to re-sign them with their contract ending and they're typically not going to exercise the NTC just to hang around a losing team for a couple more months. It's really only a spanner in the works if you're trying to trade a guy who has years left on his deal. And Fukudome would definitely have value given that he'd only have one year left. And saying that Lee only "might" get a good return is ridiculously shortsighted.
