  1. Sucks when they bring in a lefty to face your lefty, and the only righty on your bench is Koyie Hill.
  2. Absolutely no reason not to pinch-hit DeJesus there. Stupid. That's how I felt. They had it lined up to go DeJesus-LaHair right there.
  3. People continue to suckle on Dumpster’s teat as if it were Salma Hayek’s. He gave up 6 hits, 4 walks, and 6 ERs in under 5 innings today, but it’s not his fault. Couldn’t be. No, instead the sucklers look at his sub 3.00 ERA, his still sparkling 1.15 WHIP, his anemic run support and declare him the best EVAH. I gave up this battle long ago on message boards, but the fire still burns. Dumpster puts the over in rated. If only the Cubs could somehow maroon him on Gilligan’s Island. Or at least Des Moines. One last year and perhaps, finally, we’ll be done with him. Free at last, Free at last, thank God Almighty, they’ll be Free at last. You think he sucks, but you then admit that he has a great ERA and WHIP and has had anemic run support? Which is it? I’m not calling you a suckler, but sucklers certainly view the glass as half full. The milk certainly tastes better that way. The reality is that Salma is 45, and her milking days are coming to an end. As will Dumpster’s days with the Cubs. Soon. Very soon. What a strange rant. And strange word choice. Just....strange.
  4. Don't try to show up now, Dempster. You already blew it.
  5. I'll be there for the first two games. Hope to see history, and any starting pitcher other than Maholm, also. I went to a game vs. the Twins in '09. You wouldn't think it, but they were some of the most obnoxious visiting fans I've ever been surrounded by. One of the only Cubs games in which the away fans drowned out the Cubs fans. I remember it was shortly after Milton Bradley tossed a ball into the stands thinkin there were 3 out, and some doofus in the stand was harping on it the entire game. Oh, I completely agree. I was actually at that exact same game in '09, the first time I had been around Twins fans. I was surrounded by a group of their fans and they were the definition of meatball. Everyone's favorite player was Nick Punto, they seemed to know zero about the game, and every group of fans had "Circle Me Bert" signs. Definitely left with a poor impression of Twins fans.
  6. Burke has been really good so far, other than the BB's being higher than you would like. 6 IP, 2 hits, 1 unearned run, 4 K's, 4 BB's.
  7. I'll be there for the first two games. Hope to see history, and any starting pitcher other than Maholm, also.
  8. Nope. 1 IP, 3 hits, 1 walk, 0 K's, 3 ER's.
  9. Giving up 0-2 bombs with the pitcher on deck. Not a recipe for success.
  10. Are you kidding me? Why does Shark bat here? Edit: Thanks for making me look dumb Shark.
  11. No shot that play is legal. [expletive] that.
  12. Jay Jackson has been getting a lot of strikeouts, in his two appearances since being moved to the pen .
  13. And the LaHair in the outfield experiment begins.
  14. Still not sure how Baker could have ground into a DP there.
  15. Every pitch in that at-bat has either clearly a strike or right on the corner, according to Gameday. So of course, Garza walks the guy.
  16. Castro and LaHair due up, with 1 out. Of course you send DeJesus instead.
  17. Supposedly two of the K's were of the swinging variety. Clearwater has obviously given up.
  18. You probably don't believe this, but Simpson just struck out the side according to Daytona's website. 4 in., 1 hit, 4 k's, 0 BB's.
