Couldn't agree more. Believe what you want. WRIGLEY IS THE CURSE.

I wondered if the "policy" of the starting pitcher getting to choose the jersey the team wears for the day would continue with Lou at the helm. I didn't know if this was a Dusty thing or not. I guess it doesn't matter now though. I noticed the past few seasons Big Z always chose the blue jerseys over the white jerseys. Even when you would see Z in the dugout on his non-pitching days, when the rest of the team was wearing the white jerseys he would be wearing a dark sweatshirt or something else. It was very rare to see him wearing the white jerseys. Then this spring I noticed Z wearing the white jerseys on his pitching days. Anyone know, does Z have a phobia of the white jersey? :shock:

Well, we almost went the entire spring training without a mention of Dr. Evil. (AKA Dr. James Andrews) :wink: At least we're not talking about a Cubs pitcher. :shock:

Wolf, It's a great day when I see one of your posts. Not necessarily because of the content of the post, but because the girl in your avatar is smok'en hot. :lol: Wilmo

I have tears running out of my eyes. Can you imagine what this looked like? Was Barrett laying on the ground, legs spread open while someone else used the bat? Or was he just standing there as somebody took a homerun cut? Or maybe Barrett was the one hitting the cup, sitting on the ground, legs crossed, continuously slamming the barrel of the bat into his groin? And what if the new cup had broken? :shock: :shock: :shock:

Thanks for the info. I know there are some teams out there that have question marks at the closer spot, but I wasn't sure which. I'll keep an eye on those teams/players you mentioned.

I have played fantasy baseball a few times and have always pretty much sucked at it. This time I actually put some time into ranking players. It's from a Yahoo, 5x5, 12 team, auto draft league. I'm currently trying to get Stephen Drew off of waivers to replace Crosby. I don't seem to have many/any stolen bases. And I'm not sure of the status of Papelbon or James, I may not have any saves either? Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Steve Stone back w/The Score; Kornheiser gets XM show

Amen. Cowherd is the WORST in radio. He makes Rome tolerable. -
He looks like he did when he first came up. Amazing how dropping a few pounds can take the years off. Dude was never that skinny. You don't think so? http://www.homeruncards.com/imagesrc/kerry-wood-bow.jpg

Something I noticed recently that I thought was kind of odd. (I don't know if odd is the correct term, maybe bizarre, or better yet whacked) In 2006 the Cubs finished with 66 wins (yes we ALL know this). With 66 wins they finished 17.5 games out of first place. In 2004 the Cubs won 89 games. They finished 16 games out of first. 89 Victories in 2006 would have won the division by 6 games. Baseball is a funny game. :?

What a great topic for a poll. Hands down "The Office" is my favorite comedy show. I voted for Kevin, his dopey looks are unmatched.

Prior Signs one year deal
Wilmo replied to Dirt Dog Sparly's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
Here's to Mark being the most underpaid pitcher in baseball in 07'. (Due to his overwhelming success of course) Another thought - We better lock up Big Z before this season, because if Prior does return to form, locking up both of them next offseason would be close to impossible. -
Yes, you will get the Cubs games on Comcast Sports without subscribing to EI. Right on! Thanks for the help.

I'm glad someone brought this topic up. I have a question hopefully fellow Cub fans can help me with. I have Direct TV and have paid for EI for several years now, but I pretty much am only interested only in the Cubs games. I get part of the games on WGN of course and the other part of the games on the Comcast Sports channel. The only games I don't get are the few per year on UCI or whatever the local Chicago network is (even the with EI package they blackout). I live in Indianapolis and the Cubs and Reds are considered local market teams, meaning I can watch them on Comcast Sports and Fox Sports Ohio or Cincy, whatever it is. Actually I'm forced to watch the Cubs and Reds on these channels because they are blacked out on the seven hundred channels where the EI games are. Here is my question, does anyone know if I would still receive the Cubs games on Comcast Sports without the EI package? I do have the DTV sports package. I guess I could wait till the first week and see if they are not blacked out, but if I do have to get the EI package at that point I would loose out on the early bird deal. Thanks for your help.

I am in complete concurrence with you. While neither would be fun, I'd much rather have a bruised jaw than an intrascrotal hematoma. Just my two cents. I knew someone would come through with the name of the injury he suffered. While I absolutely love the punch to AJ's jaw, just putting the words scrotal and hematoma next to each other makes my nether region ache. I'll take a punch in the jaw from anyone before I'd take a batted baseball to the... :shock: We have Mike Tyson waiting for you outside :wink: I think Mike is gonna have to deal with Sheriff Joe before he gets his crack at me. :P

I don't recall the details of the incident, but reading through this post made me think of it also. Funny someone else mentioned too. All I remember was Dawson getting hit in the head, he went down, the trainers coming out and after a few minutes, he stood up and went after the pitcher. The Hawk was great. BTW, you should add "Put it on the BOOAARRDDDD, YES!" to your annoying sayings in your sig. A team-neutral baseball fan uncle of mine taunts me with that because he knows it annoys the living poo out of me. I thought about adding that one too. But I didn't want to dedicate any more room to one of the worst broadcasters on television. Well then you really aren't bringing your "A" game to your sig. Maybe you should kick it up a notch, give 110%, but I guess it is what it is. :lol: Ouch! :lol:
