    no Kim Ng? I have heard nothing but good things about her, and it would be sort of cool for us to break the Gender Barrier. i'd hate to see the shirts being sold with an asian FEMALE gm

    Bengals pick WR Early Doucet from LSU. With Chris Henry gone, and Chad Johnson probably next, there needs to be a speedy receiver to compliment HOUSH.

    if you give up a home run to paul bako, i think your career is done.

    i'm offended because the shirt is racist. i'm outraged, though, because it's one more thing to make cubs fans look like dumbasses. and i feel bad for fukudome, you can tell that shirt definitely makes him uncomfortable. and this may be a stretch, but could this possibly affect future signings from japan? i doubt it will, but it certainly won't help. anyone who bought that shirt should be ashamed.

    Good. I hope a big deal is made out of this and they aren't sold anymore. It's ridiculous.

    did mlb already lighten up on their blackout restrictions? i'm watching this game on mlb.tv, and saturday day games are always blacked out.

    It's interesting that every time someone who loves the DH tries to explain why NL baseball sucks, they have to resort to belittling the decision-making process and the strategy that goes along with it by coming up with some hyperbolic scenario and then making a wise crack about it. I find these late-inning decisions in the NL to be fun, and interesting to watch. And yes -- SHOCK -- I enjoy debating about them afterwards. I guess the millions of fans who enjoy this are just a bunch of idiots though, right? I don't think NL baseball sucks. I don't just see how having the pitcher bat keeps the game pure or any of that other poetic nonsense that's used to describe "real" baseball. Having the DH doesn't detract or enhance the game for me, I love it either way. I'd be fine with the AL getting rid of the DH to keep the leagues the same, but that will never happen. So I'm totally in favor of the NL adopting the DH. Plus, I think it sucks that the Cubs are automatically shut out when it comes to signing sluggers who aren't that great in the field. How badass would it be for Travis Hafner to be a Cub, or David Ortiz?

    why won't mclouth die

    I'd boo two guys in that sentence. The other one is Corey Patterson. If I could fight one person, living or dead, I'd fight Marty Brenneman. you'd have an easier time with joe nuxhall

    if eckstein would have grounded out to ss with a runner on 3rd base, scoring the run, people would be praising how he plays the game the right way. eric basically had the same result there.

    good enough.

    i thought for sure fukudome was going to break his ankle there

    ehh. they'll score if they keep getting on base.
  18. rocket
    lame
  19. rocket
    this is gonna be one of those games where we get all sorts of runners into scoring position but never score.

    nice d xavier

    let's be honest, i hate a lot of cubs fans. marty isn't that far off in his assessment. the whole "they'll lose the division because they're the cubs" thing was really lame. but him saying that cubs fans are the most obnoxious isn't that far off.
  22. rocket
    no. the reds just suck.
  23. rocket
    volquez should think about murdering the umpire after this half inning.
  24. rocket
    Jesus Christ, thanks ump. Both of those looked good to me.
