yeah, that was close. i lost a bunch of ab's b/c of the rain in boston, and his pitchers were lights out. i was lucky to come out of that one on top.
-
i was not particularly impressed by wood friday night. it was cold as [expletive] out there, but his velocity was down, and he was far from overwhelming. had it not been 40 degrees w/ the wind blowing in, he probably would have given up a 2 run homer in the first to shealy. i'm not getting my hopes up too high for him. thankfully, the team has done a good job of keeping my expectations down.

pull the plug on hill? who do you suggest to take his spot? he's certainly outpitched guzman. and for all the fawning people do over marshall, it ain't like he's setting the world on fire either. hill is the least of the cubs' problems right now.

wow, burgos just one upped turnbow. i don't think i want nathan anywhere near the game tonight.
-
crap...turnbow blows a save on an infield single. we've got a barn burner going here.
-
93 pitch complete game shutout. it's not exaggeration to say that it is absolutely mind-boggling how this coaching staff still has jobs.
-
you are an awful, awful hitter, pierre.
-
sisco k's patterson. by the way, pierre only has three more walks than patterson. :pukel:
-
that's right...i heard they were good.
-
good inning.
-
ooh...sisco v. patterson in the kc/balt game.

agreed. I wish PJ was touring on their own. I can't afford the Joint bill with Tom Petty. the whole tour isn't w/ tom petty. i can't remember who is opening in chicago, but it's not him. and since i've been a fan club member since the late 90's, i'm fittin' to have some great seats. :D I should have clarified. I live up in Minneapolis now, and that's a joint bill. I really wanted to go see em at Alpine again. They've played some great and memorable shows there - Ice Bowl, the show in 2003... i was thinking about going to xcel, but it is pretty expensive. i'm kinda disappointed they're not doing a wider tour. last time they even came to council bluffs, iowa. des moines just got a new fancy arena, so i was hoping for a local show. i saw them four (?) times on their last tour. Well if you come up, I'll buy you a beer before the show. That will be after I go to all 3 Twins-Cubs losses. deal. my brother's going, but if he can't find anyone to take his other fan club seat, i may go.

maybe a brief break for a vedder encore.

having eddie in the booth was the highlight of the cubs season so far.
-
no bad talk about eddie. i can live w/ the hill trashing, but leave eddie out of it.
-
man, i was hoping to see wood at the show on wednesday. kinda doubt it since he's pitching thursday.
-
i've never been so mad at the cubs for swinging so quickly. let eddie talk!
-
eddie, eddie, eddie!
-
and hits .214. rather have a good defensive catcher than a ok defensive catcher with some offense. 'some' offense? he's arguably the best offensive catcher in the NL. it wouldn't matter if matheny could save a base every once in a while defensively because these team would never score if you replaced barrett w/ matheny.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

good outing by hill today. could stand to get the walks down, but three of them were to giles, who seems to have the most discriminating eye of all time. williamson looks awful.
-
the story about williamson and his sleeves is not as fascinating as they seem to think it is.
