If only Lou would start driving in more runs, maybe hitting for better average. Maybe he could've caught that ball at 2nd that Miles muffed. Or he could have come in an thrown lefty instead of Cotts. Stupid Lou. His ejection in 2007 completely changed that season. I think we had the best record in the majors after that ejection. Why not try it again? He should have done it yesterday on that bang-bang play with Freel at 3rd base. So your contention is that the Cubs would start hitting the ball better, and pitching the ball better, and catching the ball better, and getting breaks and beating their opponent if only Lou would give his hat a few swift kicks?

Last I heard he was looking at that new League that's starting up. His agent denies that, but from what I've heard he's being shopped for league minimum.

actually, they aren't. At least not this year. Pretty small sample size though, when there's much more than this year available for comparison.
-
Oh. I didn't realize we'd hit crazy time already. May is pretty early for that. -

I admit it. I like icanhascheezburger.

I'm gonna say that this thing happens.

That's a much more glowing review than every other account I've heard of that practice. Apparently, there were lots of drops. Receivers are having trouble adjusting to the heat on Cutler's throws. Not that it matters much, it's the first day of OTAs. Still a ways to go. I read that too, which seems completely contradictory to the Daily Herald article saying only one ball hit the ground.

Sad news:
-
Derosa is facing a lot of pitchers he normally hasn't though. I bet he'd be just fine in the NL.
-
Completely agreed. I sure don't think a "Sportscenter Special" was needed for this last night either.
-
Yeah, but it's not really a change. Instead of being 100% against he's now like only 95% against. I think he thought he'd get more in the WR by now (maybe he really was after Boldin and thought that'd happen). And now that none of the WR option he thought he'd get has really panned out, he's leaving the door open a crack. But it's stilly, cuz if Plax plays this year at all, it won't be much.

Vick signing with Oakland in 3....2....1... Or with Minnesota if the Favre thing dies?

Jerry Crasnick's Love Letter to Juan Pierre
Banedon replied to Outshined_One's topic in General Baseball Talk
They're both from the south? I mean, what are the odds that 2 players on the same team would be from the same region of the country? I'll ask Crasnick to use his math skills, since he made that whole $8/hr deduction. -
I wonder if somehow his swing is putting funny torque on his wrists? Cuz that's just odd.
-
I hit record on the dvr. :D Bah...should have known he'd be off today. He's supposed to be on tomorrow, but Mike Greenberg said he stepped aside because of his fear of flying.

I told my Cardinal fan buddy that Carpenter would own us for the 3 innings before he left with an injury. That buddy got really busy at work after that.

Re: Sale of Cubs to Ricketts Complete (p. 15)
Banedon replied to 17 Seconds's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Well that seems a little bit bassackwards. How hilarious would it be at this point, after the struggle to come up with the money, for them to say "you know what, we don't think we're going to approve the sale"... -
5/14 Padres (Gaudin) @ Cubs (Dempster) 1:20 CSN
Banedon replied to The R-Train's topic in Fred Hornkohl Game Thread Forum
Soriano popped out to start the inning. -
Ok, this is really about visual illusions, but the winning entry for "World's Best Visual Illusion" is The Secret of the Curve Ball, so there's some baseball application there.... Pretty cool stuff. http://www.aip.org/isns/reports/2009/051309visualillusion.html

That is certainly an interesting take on the Favre-Packers situation. Certainly not based in facts, but interesting. What does the bolded part even mean??? The Packers front office pushed him out and were pretty darned vindictive in doing so. It was worse than how the Cubs front office throwing Sammy under the bus, because Favre hadn't committed the transgressions that Sammy had. If it is the case that he comes back with the Vikings and "unretires" it will be the case that he had to go through this whole "retiring" charade thanks to the Packers front office and the anti-trade clauses they put in when they traded him to the Jets. And Roast, in 15 years someone should tell you should retire from whatever job you have and that you can never do it again. I hope he's healthy and if he wants to play and someone wants him to play for him that he plays. Every athlete deserves that chance, even guys like Bonds. Way to completely ignore all of Favre's "will I or won't I" waffling. The Packers made a decision because Brett wouldn't! They couldn't wait around and wait and hope that maybe, possibly, Brett might wanna play. There was plenty done wrong on both ends, but lets not make the Packers out to be the villian and Favre to be blameless here.

I didn't see the game last night. When I saw the box score this morning, I laughed about Theriot, and got pumped about Soto...so yeah, I'm in the same boat.
