Yeah, Kendall probably ain't gonna chase, let him ground out to 2nd. -
That was much prettier. Listen to the crowd, wonderful.

Fontenot probably would have barreled over Kendall, unlike Lee who just crumples to the ground and lets himself be tagged out. Wonder what row Fontenot would've landed in.

OK I GOT ONE NOW!!! :)

Make it a cat. I don't like them.

Alright. I call your bluff. Find them. I fold. You've been optimistic tonight.

Only problem is, Wood doesn't sound like he's anything near close to returning. And I mean, who misses a month with a blister? Honestly? Kerry Wood I guess. And I was roundly mocked in the Kerry Wood thread when I said "And so it begins." Guess I'm not so stupid after all, am I boys? You were pretending like he was going to have TJS in a few weeks. I think he still thinks it. No, I don't think he'll have TJS. But I did say it was probably going to be worse than "a week" or "two or three days" like everyone was saying, simply because he's Kerry Wood. And people thought I was stupid. Guess I was right. Are we keeping score now? I can probably find 10 losses in this game thread alone. It's easy to be right once or twice when you predict the worst on everything.

Half those boos were for Weeks.

REED mother-effin JOHNSON

Argh, ball 4.

Weeks really shoulda had that.
-
2nd.
-
They didn't have him at the plate.

you think they'd foolishly waste a 40-man spot on Hill again? They're gonna have to waste a 40 man roster spot on some 3rd catcher. Might as well be Hill rather than digging up Mike DiFelice's corpse again. so what do they do with Jake Fox, drop him? I don't know when the last time Fox caught was, but whenever it was, I'm sure he was doing it poorly.

Game threads are pretty intolerable unless we're up by 6.
-
No teams really do. That's why it's such a big deal when a guy actually does it.
-
Just an awful send by Quade.

Ted Lilly and the inside changeup

I would've had to, but I decided I didn't care enough. I bet it means something bad. -
A couple years ago he was going to be the answer at SS, not a bench warmer with one foot back in the minors. But he's not playing everyday. He's not presently the answer at SS. He's a backup middle infielder. The 2nd to last bat off the bench. And for some reason waste a lot of time loathing him for the oxygen he breathes. I think you're overstating most people's feelings about him, but I can't speak for everyone. For myself, I want better for this baseball team but nothing more. The thing is, I just don't know what's better out there for a backup SS. I understand the desire to have a better right handed bat off the bench than Ronny or Reed Johnson, but they are our backup CFs and backup SS. They aren't supposed to be the big bats off the bench, it just happens to break down that way that our right handed backups are at positions where the backups rarely are great hitters.

Correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't that based off of one surprising good year in the minors? Ronny was promoted aggressively, never showing that he really deserved it. In '04 he finally had a prospect-worthy season, but nothing special. In '05 he busted out, and held his own over 80 ABs in the majors at the age of 22. Cubs scouts obviously saw something in him while he was flailing away at a young age. There was much hatred spewed over his original addition to the 40 man roster, and it was really perplexing as to what was behind Ronny's promotions. He's obliterated AAA pitching in '05(at a young age) and '07(age appropriate)
