No you don't, not when you think it's a ball.

Was it that big of a deal? Pat made it seemed like he was tossed right away and that was it.

Not if you think it's a ball. Not just any flyball scores a run, it has to be relatively deep.

The only reason Gathwright is here.

Has there ever been a fired manager/coach who is still such a team friendly guy as Savvy is 6 months later?

I have to guess he was trying to call a bluff and thinking Milton was inactive.

mlb gameday has no idea what happened.

I delivered the load from Pineville in Dallas this morning. Sitting at a logistics warehouse now, waiting for my 1600 appointment to load. Gonna deliver to a Wal-Mart DC in Sealy, TX (Houston area) in the morning. After that.... who knows ? So they're sending you all over the Lone Star State. Let me know if you head this way over the weekend. There's still some good restaurants I can introduce you to. Plus, it's crawfish season if you're in to eating mudbugs. Man.... could I use some good gumbo right about now !!! This just made me regret having cheerios for lunch.

Savoir-faire in the booth. Ronny spent 2 minutes saying experience doesn't matter while making absolutely no sense.

This radio PBP guy is horrible.

How much will he make in this compared to what he was trying to sell the seat for?

So I didn't renew my XM account and lost the service in February. Just turned it on and it's working for some reason. Did one of you buy me a gift?

Grace was 3rd-4th in line until Dawson/Maddux left. Then he was behind Sandberg til he retired. Then he had maybe 2 years of being the most popular Cub before Sosa took over. Mark Grace does not represent the Cubs in any way. Exactly. Grace was only a top Cub because the Cubs sucked. The 90's Cubs were horrible. The fact that Grace sticks out the most from that time doesn't make him worthy of honor. It was a sad miserable time to be a Cubs fan, in part because their best player was nothing special. Yeah the Cubs were bad in the 90's, but Grace did lead the 90's in hits. I don't think he should have his number retired, but I think there is a argument to be made that it should. Also Marmol could have a chance assuming he becomes the fulltime closer within the next year and he stays with the Cubs for all if not most of his career. Marmol could be the closer for the next 10ish years and he could rack up a pretty good amount of saves (overrated stat but valued in mainstream baseball) and post some good WHIP, K, and ERA numbers as well. I agree with what you are saying about Marmol. But my question is, how many numbers aroudn baseball are retired for relief pitchers who spent their entire careers as relief pitchers? Does Lee Smith have his number retired? Hoffman will in San Diego, but other than that, no one is coming to mind right now that spent their entire career in the pen. Mariano Rivera definitely will.

I think they have to take Crabtree here, with no receivers.

The Stafford selection was made about 12 hours ago, I say we make a couple suggestions and then make Cleveland's pick.

And they still have only 35 spots taken on the 40 man roster.

You just figured this out? Gathwright was redundent the day he signed. There's no good reason for him to be on the team. I assume the 2nd Johnson is supposed to be Hoffpauir. But with him available to backup both corners, and Johnson the backup to all three spots, along with only Aaron Freaking Miles backing up the middle infielders, the Cubs are in a sticky spot.

Yeah, but he's got a reputation in the media and amongst many of the fans that isn't all that conducive to him going down as a beloved character. If he's the best pitcher on an eventual world series champion, or maybe just an NL champ, it would really help.

Game 1 - Sat April 18 Chicago at Boston 12:30PM ESPN Game 2 - Mon April 20 Chicago at Boston 7:00PM TNT Game 3 - Thu April 23 Boston at Chicago 8:00PM TNT Game 4 - Sun April 26 Boston at Chicago 1:00PM ABC Game 5 * Tue April 28 Chicago at Boston TBD TBD Game 6 * Thu April 30 Boston at Chicago TBD TBD Game 7 * Sat May 2 Chicago at Boston TBD TNT Wow this sucks... I have tickets to Game 3, and I am flying back to Chicago from the keys at 7:10PM. I am going to have to go straight from the airport to the UC, and if my flight is delayed I'm screwed. Don't bring any luggage.

Yeah, that's going to be a big stretch.

I really hope I get a chance to see the anthem tonight. I'm not sure what to do about which channel to DVR if I miss the start. It's slated to go on Versus, but the guide has the Detroit game is going to overlap it. Last night's games had multiple local teams, which were airing on the local NY channels, so I wasn't able to get an idea what to do. Currently I have channel 771 set to record. Hope it works.

Darren Rovell on CNBC.

Mariano will have his number retired. If Marmol does something similar, so will he, but that's going to be very hard.
