10, I think

I like tape delays

Your roommate is Fukudome. He is in two places at once.

When were up (or down, Lilly's pitching, 15)

I think that hit his funny bone. Ouch

Ok, good teams take advantage of that.

I'd pay five bucks to here Sutcliffe say hip-hop again

I'm confused by your sentence? Are you saying you heard that the Cubs only have a winning record against two teams? Because those stats show more than that and the Cubs have an all time winning record. Although it doesn't cover the span of the franchise and post season.

I don't see the big deal. It's not some kind of free speech issue. If the Cubs don't like them they should ban them. It's their stadium. I'm not sure if we would even be setting a precedence for banning shirts. I'm pretty sure that other stadiums have banned "Yankees sucks" t-shirts and other things like this in the past.

I think he at least experimented with it. I don't know for how long or his number while he did but I found an interview he did and he said it was something he only tired with the Cubs org. if this is true this might explain some of his struggles in the Minors as you said.

I don't think they are considered, nor should they be considered, journalists. They are entertainment. I agree. The only reason that national sportscasters are a little more biased is because they don't want to alienate certain viewers. I think the ones that have a little bias to them do so because it gets the people who hate them to watch merely because they hate them.

Comic books on a baseball board? I love it, this site is officially awesome.

No kidding, I haven't felt this confident about any of my favorite teams for a long time. This terrifies me because every time I am confident my favorite team crashes down to earth. You know what, I'm not so confident anymore.

I want Theriot to do well because if he does my chance at a professional baseball career thrives on.

I think I just saw a notice on the ESPN crawl line that the game will be shown in all markets, including New York and Chicago. I hope this is true because even in Iowa City,with no chance of getting WCIU, it gets blacked out.

I guess it's kind of the same thing as calling someone an a-hole when really they are just stupid. One can be fixed fairly easily the other one is much harder. Although if the stupid one is unwilling to learn they start to resemble the a-hole.

I feel sorry for Girardi. He looks like a decent manager (at least from the short time that he has been one) and he seems to have egotistical jerks who don't seem to be that bright as he boss.

The bolded is an excellent point, though I think you could just say "the general public that shows up at Wrigley for virtually any game". The thing that Hornbuckle missed out on is that when saying "Cubs fans" you have to remember that because of WGN, the Cubs have a huge and widespread fanbase so when using the term "Cubs fans" you are talking about all of them. And yet, a high number of Cubs fans, myself included, rarely or never get a chance to go to a Cubs game at Wrigley and yet when Marty Brennaman says that all Cubs fans act a certain way, he is including ALL Cubs fans with that statement. By looking at only the Cubs fans who a) go to Cubs games and b) sit in the bleachers, you're really narrowing your sample size of Cubs fans and to extrapolate that to all Cubs fans is not only wrong but stupid as well. The Cubs also have a larger fan base than most of the teams in the majors and with that comes a larger number of idiots. But yet, in the end, the percentage of Cubs fans who are idiots are going to be about the same as the average in the majors. Every team does have stupid fans but because those teams have less fans, they have less idiots. To put it in a baseball way, Player A and Player B both average one home run every 10 AB's but Player A gets 600 AB's while Player B only gets 200. Player A will get more home runs because he comes to the plate more and will seem like the better home run hitter when in fact he just comes to the plate more (for whatever reason). Basically the mistake he makes is something some people do, people make the mistake of generalizing a whole group of people when they are angry and trying to make a point. In generalizing their perspective to a whole group of people they are usually wrong and ignorant.(I hope I wrote this correctly, otherwise there is a lot of irony in what I am writing). Marty made that mistake. I don't blame him for doing it, I've done it before (I've said All White Sox fans are trash and hate the Cubs for no reason), but he should be held accountable for it because you are unfairly portraying people who don't fit into your stereotype. I am sure that if I said that all old baseball announcer are uninformed, ignorant idiots he would be upset too.

His quota for the remainder of the decade, at least. Including his one today, he's hit exactly 2 home runs since he homered for the Cubs on August 25, 2004. If you're gonna hit one it might as well tie the game in the ninth inning.

Cubs Win!!! First Place!!!

He must have been wondering if Johnson was awake

C'mon Pie

If we are patient and hit like this against the Mets than I am going to start to feel all giddy inside.

ARam now a triple away from the cycle.
