YES!!!!

So Murton stinks when everyone else is hitting, but then he's the only one hitting when everyone else stinks? We're doomed.

Criz-ap. That's the damn game. Their bullpen is too good.

Aramis looking like crap on this trip, too, with the exception of that double in SF. We really need him or Lee to click it back on against the Brewers. I hope to God Soriano can come back then.

I REALLY want Lee to sit tomorrow if the Cubs win tonight.

Lilly looking to be back on track. Hopefully Z follows suit.

Noice.

I wish there wasn't some powerful wizard on the mound, what with his magical spells of confusion and confounding!

Damn, they funked up the squeeze.

They come up with some remarkably bad programming. Always have, always will.

Shocking, Soriano and Pie hanging out.

Heh...

Great AB, Matt! Let's see some more of those!

Patient Murton!

Wow, I hope that's the lineup!

Never tell me the odds. Rock on, ELO!

Wow. I wish I had more to add...Maddux is so incredible.

Quite possibly my favorite Conan moment.

I'd like to look toward Fukudome. Moi aussi.

I'd settle for Derrek Lee circa 2005. http://www.tedwilliams.com/_data/images/1941s/title3.jpg a walk per game and only 27 (!!) strikeouts Sweet Jesus, he only struck out 27 times at that point?!? What the hell was up with him that year? Doesn't he average like 3 times that many strikeouts otherwise? After he returned from WWII, he never struck out even 50 times in a season. His career high was 64, the only time he was ever 55 or higher. Wow, I really thought Williams struck out around 60-70 times a season. I have no idea why.

See, my biggest problem with hangovers is nausea. I might give homage to the porcelain gods before going to bed, but it's no guarantee I'll wake up the next day feeling any better. My stomach is a finicky thing. :( I've always made it my goal to get my hands on as much water as possible throughout the night when I drink. Not only does it allow me to drink more, or at least longer, I wake up the next day feeling MUCH better.

I think the Cubs need to better with their fulltime outfielders than Murton, Monroe or Floyd next year.

his defense is a thing to behold these days If we've survived through Floyd, Ward and Murton at this point, I'd happily accept Barry's hobbling in exchange for his bat.

If I remember my stages of hangover correctly... 11 AM - "Oh God...make the world stop. Please make it stop. I swear, God, if you get me through this, I'll never have another drink again." 1 PM - *Hugs toilet* "Uggggggggh, that burrito tasted just as bad coming up as it did going down. It's going to be a long time before I have another drink." 3 PM - *Lies on futon like it's a deathbed, watching bad TV* "Maybe I'll be able to keep my soup and crackers down this time. I'm not going to drink for another month." 5 PM - *Goes out for a walk and some sunshine* "I'm okay...I'm okay...I'm okay...just remember not to have another drink for a week or two." 7 PM - *Receives phone call from friends who were also out last night* "Yeah, I don't know if I'll go out tonight, I got hammered pretty badly. Maybe we'll do it tomorrow, sound good?" 9 PM - *Calls friends back* "I'm bored. Are you still going out tonight?" And thus the cycle continues... I don't know about everyone else, but I very quickly made puking my friend in college. It ether got my clearheaded enough to make it home or even drink more. Just make sure you can step away to do your business (once I started feeling queasy I'd make for the bushes and almost zen-out and just let it happen instead of trying to hold back and feeling worse) and carry plenty of breath mints and puking can be your secret ally!
