  1. I really don't like Dan Plesac. He is such a gibrone. Seems like he should be selling aluminum siding in North Chicago or something. Given the history of out franchise you'd think we could find an ex-player to do pre/post game that was less creepy.
  2. http://www.windycityfootball.com/ Run by the same folks who run NSBB Awesome. Thanks Buddy!
  3. Way OT... my sincere apologies, but this is the most current thread so I am posting here. Does anyone know where I can find a board like NSBB specific to the Bears??? Many thanks!
  4. What's wrong with Murton's lip? He make out with the wrong skank this weekend???
  5. Gagne... 6 Saves. 4 Blown Saves. Like Dwight Howard from the free-throw line.
  6. As they said in "What About Bob," Baby Steps... And Bob just talked about it...ha.

  8. Ha... I like that. Reminds me of Vinny the Black and Joe Table. it was a long night Joe Bread and Water Jose Panyagua?
  9. Ha... I like that. Reminds me of Vinny the Black and Joe Table.
  10. Was that Z who did the bow with Fukudome in the dugout?
  11. In fairness, Rhodes put up cartoonish numbers in the US as well before he tailed off after one game.
  12. Brennaman seems like the ideal type to be targeted by neighborhood kids for house egging and burning bags of poop. Oh to be a 12 year old living in Cincinnati right about now.
  13. No, no...not sad.. It's like a couple people have expressed: it's like seeing our own children growing up before our eyes Yeah...not at all. Felix seems like a guy who just so badly wants to succeed. It is nice to see it when he does.
  14. What the blackjack dealer calls out when he's showing an ace.....
  15. I keep Z in there for a little longer. He is in a nice little groove right now. Can see argument other way, though.
  16. http://deadspin.com/381980/you-know-its-baseball-season-when-fat-yanks+red-sox-fans-are-killing-each-other But clearly the cubs have the most obnoxious fans, and such despicable fan behavior is the reason that the two teams involved never have any success, because everyone knows that the Yankees and Red Sox never win.
  17. Gagne throwing gasoline and matches all over the field. Tie game in Cinci...
  18. Answer: $250,000 Cheap... that is only about 5.2 million in today's dollars. Can hardly build an Arby's for that amount today!
  19. Was this his 1st start off the DL? Along with being his first start of the year. Looks like this mights not be it for Gallardo either. He just batted in the top of the 8th... Awesome Odd... He is out to start the ninth. I wonder what the rational was for letting him bat. Weird... unless it was a mistake on account of gameday.

  21. Not going to take a "shot" at you, but I'm wondering who exactly you are talking to. For the most part I've heard people saying pretty much the exact same thing here. Wrigley HAS more fans, therefore there are more idiots. So I'm confused what is making you so upset. And regardless of whether there are drunken idiots at Wrigley field, for a team's main broadcaster to flip out the way Marty did, and then the next day lay into his own color man, is both unseemly and unprofessional. People in glass houses shouldn't throw stones, as they say. I think it is more than Wrigley having MORE fans, thus more idiots. Rather, Wrigley has a younger fan base than most due to its location, and a drunker fan base than most, also due to its location (bars everywhere). All of these factors lead to the crazy atmosphere that is Wrigley. While this probably leads to a few more 'incidents' than you see at other parks, it also leads to the unrivaled electricity in the ball-park everyday. In the end, you take the good with the bad. Is the amazing energy in Wrigley worth a few very minor incidents a year? I think the answer to that Q is a no-brainer. What fun would sports be if ever stadium was similar and boring, even if they are less prone to see balls being thrown onto the field or other such 'obnoxious' acts.
  22. It would be flat out stupid to wait that long. Get our better hitters more AB's, ASAP. Dude, they're winning and scoring runs right now. Additionally, both guys are in a comfort zone where they are at. Leave them be for now. If the cubs go into a drought then they should think about re-doing the lineup. I know you want to be proactive, but lets remember that both of the guys you want to move around are rookies and thus should be left alone when comfortable. Ideally, though, eventually the high on base guy fuk should move to 2nd with the rbi guy soto at 5 protecting Ram.
