    Whoops. The crappy defense being back isn't fun to watch.
  2. Sammy Sofa
    Jeez, everyone is so angry.
  3. Sammy Sofa
    Jeez, what an anti-climactic 2 days.
  4. Sammy Sofa
    ...don't exist.
  5. Sammy Sofa
    Explaud?
  6. Sammy Sofa
    Outside of Fielder, they didn't look too impressive.
  7. Sammy Sofa
    Good points.

    The concern there is that Shouse is waiting in the pen to come in, and Shouse kills lefties. PH with Edmonds, and then you're stuck with Blanco after Shouse comes in, and then who? Zambrano? Ideally you're trying to get that extra run in on 3rd with 1 out in the 8th and then win it. Again, it worked out with Blanco, but it would have been ideal to maximize the attempt to get Aramis in from 3rd with only 1 out.

    I've had it happen to me several times. I'll be somewhere where I can't access the game, and I turn it on right as inning begins. After the first batter was cut off by a commercial break, Santo starts off on some story and Hughes gets in some pointless, psuedo-funny jibe. They banter awkwardly, Santo rambles off into some laughing/coughing fit, Hughes steps in and points out, as an aside, the batter No. 2 grounded out a minute ago and No. 3 is now up with a 2-0 count. I've been listening for 3 minutes and not heard the score, nor a single pitch described. I'm sorry, I'm never going to believe for a second that they let an entire play go by without any mention of it. That's basically a slam on the professionalism of Hughes as a broadcaster, especially if you're saying that he opts himself to banter with Ron instead of calling the game. Not liking Santo is one thing, but saying Hughes purposely ignores plays is complete BS.

    I've never heard a play, important or otherwise, missed on a Cubs radio broadcast. Santo rambles, but he doesn't talk over Pat when a play actually occurs outside of his usual background emotional responses/noises (for which his mic is often turned down or even off if need be) if the play merits one.

    Not PHing Edmonds for Johnson when he was up against a newly brought in righthanded reliever with a guy on 3rd and 1 out late in the game struck me as not the best decision. It ended up working out with Blanco in the next AB, but still...
  12. Sammy Sofa
    Then he can shut up and wait for a chance to yell "yes." His stupid rambling stories that Hughes indulges him in cause three at-bats to go by without comment. No, they don't. You never miss anything important on a Cubs radio broadcast.

    If the Astros keep losing, can they just keep blaming it on the other team being too mean and not feeling sorry for them?
  14. Sammy Sofa
    *BARF*

    Awesome game to be at...my pitiful regular season ends at 4-7.
  16. Sammy Sofa
    Not if they did the smart thing and built it with a retractable roof.

    How many years are left on Hawk's contract? I wonder if this isn't an attempt to drive him out. Is Hawk even that popular with White Sox fans? All of my friends and family who are Southsiders loathe him, and he's obviously a joke on the national level...maybe putting Stone in there is a calculated move.
  18. Sammy Sofa
    That's what she said. Fixed.

    No, I wouldn't MIND a parking lot instead of a neighborhood. I don't actively WANT one, mainly because I live downtown and don't have a car. I just wouldn't care if they flattened much of the surrounding Wrigleyville for parking.
  20. Sammy Sofa
    Everyone just got 2 days off. Clinch and then rest.
  21. Sammy Sofa
    Not at all. I go to parks like PNC and Camden and think, "man, outside of the ishtty baseball, this is livin'." I also don't place stock in what's around Wrigley when it comes to me actually liking Wrigley Field. I like the stadium...I don't give a crap about the bars and stores around it.

    Even with renovations, however, I demand the troughs remain. Just more bathrooms with longer troughs. It gets me back to my seat much quicker than urinals or stalls.
  23. Sammy Sofa
    The only thing I'm wary about is Wood being used in a very close game and having not pitched in 5 days.
  24. Sammy Sofa
    Dude, I'm 3-0 in my last 3 attended. Slump busted.
  25. Sammy Sofa
    I blame myself.
