    Here's the montage (with Len's voice-a-crackin' left and right!): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q-gZXNI4k70 Very nice that it's not nearly as soul-crushing and depressing as the last 3 years. That 2004 one still makes me tear up whenever I see it. Let's hope this is the start of something really special. Cubs win, dammit.

    [expletive]. I'm so pissed I had to work and didn't bother to record this. If anyone could somehow send me a captured copy of the game over the interwebs, please PM me.

    Interesting stuff all around, especially in that last quote. If Canning getting the bid means we get ARod, well, suddenly Cuban doesn't appear to be the only "savior" on the horizon. That said, some things strike me as odd...like the article said, wouldn't this type of contact/negotiation be against league rules? I'm not sure it's tampering if the "potential owner" isn't the actual owner. Assume, I sat here today and said if I were owner of the Cubs, I'd give Arod a 30 million a year contract and let him own part of the team. Is that tampering? No. Why? Because I don't own the Cubs. While this group may be closer along than I'll ever be to owning the Cubs, truth is, they don't. By the time they do, it won't be tampering to make the offer official. OK, that explains it. Thanks, Vance!

    Seal the cement, redo the field, upgrade the facilities, and the easiest problem to fix is probably the food. They need to fix the field and the concrete, but what really needs to be done is to simply gut the place and expand the clubhouses, replace the bathrooms, etc. Yes. I'm tired of peeing in a trough. Not me. I'm all for new and bigger bathrooms, but just make the troths longer, too. You can get a lot more pee-ers in and out using those than just urinals and stalls.

    Cards will beat the Brewers once. They have a tendency to lose big, lose big, then win one. If the Cards were to sweep the series, I'd use a Cardinals avatar for the remainder of the regular season. If the Cards sweep the series, I'd use a Pujols avatar for all of next season.

    Damn...I duplicated your thread!

    The comments from Alfonso are especially worrisome. Granted, I expect the home players to kind of "know" their field, but if it is really this crappy out there, I'd hate to see potential post-season victory spoiled by a chewed up turf. Remember...this is the Cubs. An infamous bad bounce that leaves us all in tears is not out of the question.

    It's the NY Post, so have your grains of salt at the ready: http://www.nypost.com/seven/09232007/news/nationalnews/a_rod_agent__a_cub_cout.htm Interesting stuff all around, especially in that last quote.

    Is Bay likely to sit again tomorrow? If so, there's absolutely no excuse for Z not to totally dominate the Pirates.
  10. Sammy Sofa
    It depresses me that we have to be so nervous about our ace starting tomorrow. Well, at least we won the series.
  11. Sammy Sofa
    Alright, Braves...FINISH THEM.

    exactly. if dude was in new york or boston or even st louis, the major networks wouldn't shut up about him. He has surpassed his cousin as a hitter and is easily out hitting him this year, yet if u asked someone at ESPN they would tell u how manny was for sure the better of the two. What? I said that he is better than Manny but ESPN would still say Manny is better they're related? Cousins. Once I found that out I realized they do look very similar, both in appearance and how they hit and stand and act at the plate.
  13. Sammy Sofa
    Yeah, I think the odds of Marmol not being used by then are pretty slim, but if he's avilable, Carlos all the way.
  14. Sammy Sofa
    That's gotta be a Web Gem of the freakin' year.
  15. Sammy Sofa
    FULD.
  16. Sammy Sofa
    Yeah and he's horrible in LF now. Considering how stiff and immobile he is now, plus the fact that he hasn't played 1st, he would be a disaster there also. Anything to back up that he's actually "horrible" out there? I know it's not realistic and this organization would never consider it, nor does he really fit, but Bonds' bat in this lineup, even just for one season, would be amazing.

    I didn't know there was a rule against reading about Prior when the Cubs were possibly going to make the playoffs. Multi-tasking. It's not the end of the world.
  18. Sammy Sofa
    Heh...SLIGHTLY less lame than the original...but still incredibly lame.

    If Hart makes Marshall trade-able, I'm all for it.
  20. Sammy Sofa
    Sounds like it...question answered! Thanks!

    If the Cubs play like they should against the Pirates and the Marlins and at least win both series, I don't have a problem with this. Of course, what the Brewers do in the meantime should weigh heavily on Lou's final decision between now and then, no matter how well the Cubs do. If the Brewers keep pace and are are within 2 games or less, please don't. Hell, start Gallagher if you're so worried about Marshall. Just no Steve except for relief in a blowout.

    Looking at their current standings as of tonight, they are at 8 games over, and I keep thinking that this is the peak that they've gotten too several times this season in terms of being over .500, but they were never able to cross it. Am I just totally making that up or is there some truth to it?
  23. Sammy Sofa
    It's a mystery down there?
  24. Sammy Sofa
    Though wouldn't it be safe to say that guys like that pitching today as opposed to 30-40 years ago are clearly the exception as opposed to the rule?

    Zambrano's reaction would have been to walk him, give up a single, hit the next batter, then give up another hit that scores at least 2 runs before being yanked. then he'd point at the sky and thank god for being so crappy I hate when people say that; it's ignorant. He does that every single time he leaves the field; good or bad. I'm positive it's a religious thing and pretty disrespectful when people make comments like that, in my opinion. Yes, we know why he's doing it. I don't care if it's a "religious thing" or not. It's on the field, so I look at it the same as any of his other responses and actions a la the fist pumps and tantrums and cheering and whatnot.
