  1. "Hey Silv...have you read the papers lately? No? Oh...well that whole 'cut from the team' thing, that was all a joke. We've been looking all over for you since then. Sorry for the mixup. Can you start in 5 days?......wait...you've gained 40 pounds in a week?....and you did WHAT to a hooker?...umm....ok well just get over here, we'll get it straightened out with the cops."
  2. Uhhhhhh... They've been hitting. Sure....I should have clarified, I meant like a breakout 7+ run game. And yes I know I posted prematurely.
  3. Should have known it would be the game where Pena and Soto sit that the offense would start to hit a bit.
  4. 2-1. Thanks, ESPN didn't get the whole Koyie Hill overthrow pickoff thing, and it said Castro doubled and Hill scored but Fukudome was thrown out and didnt account for Barney.
  5. Yea day games on a Mon, Tues, or Weds haven't happened at home for quite a while. Usually Mon-Weds are night games, and Thurs-Sun are day games when playing at home. In April, most if not all the weekday games are day games. Yup every year. Especially in the first homestand of the season. I think last year their first homestand was 6 games, and 5 were during the day, maybe all 6.
  6. I'm a bit ignorant on the topic, will this be because DePaul is good or another team is embarrassingly awful? It's hard to win less than 1 Big East game per season as DePaul has over the last 3 seasons.
  7. Since you need it spelled out for you, the theory has long been that Wrigley insulates the Cubs from the sort of performance-based attendance cycles you're describing. If that's not so true anymore, it's a story. http://uchiblogo.uchicago.edu/archives/2011/04/bad_hops.html
  8. Their best shooter tonight is shooting 3-11
  9. No...UConn is winning by default.
  10. Yeah, and right when that happened you could hear someone scream "what the f***?!"
  11. 8-47 shooting, 2-24 from 2 point range, 0 points in the paint. This is an epic failure.
  12. Ugh this is awful to watch. Poor Butler.
  13. lol, this is how AZsnakepit.com starts their blog entry: I didn't know the DBacks fans randomly hated us. It's not our fault you can't fill your park.
  14. I dont remember who owes me a nickle!!!!! Congrats on beating out a team with their 3rd string QB in most of the year. Wait, wrong rivalry. Congrats on beating out a team struggling with major injuries most of the year :) I believe that's the congrats we got from Red Wings fans last year. Then we won the Cup.
  15. Yea day games on a Mon, Tues, or Weds haven't happened at home for quite a while. Usually Mon-Weds are night games, and Thurs-Sun are day games when playing at home. There's a night game in May on a Saturday. That one shocked me, I know it's a nationally televised game but when is the last time the Cubs played a home night game on a Friday or Saturday. Holy crap, I didn't know that. I didn't even think the Cubs were allowed to schedule weekend games after 5:05 or whatever the time was. I hope this game gets a really good response and they get the OK to do more. Don't get me wrong, I like the day games from Friday-Sunday too, but mixing in some night games would be cool too.
  16. Today's paid attendance: 26,292. Lowest attended game since 2002. Lowest attended game in recent years: 2010: 29,538 (8/30) 2009: 33,299 (9/30) 2008: 37,812 (4/4) 2007: 32,126 (4/16) 2006: 27,105 (9/7) 2005: 36,791 (4/11) 2004: 37,307 (5/7) 2003: 27,388 (4/16) 2002: 18,151 (4/9) 2001: 16,758 (4/5) 2000: 5,267 (6/1 - due to a rainout the previous day) 1999: 17,999 (4/21) 1998: 12,406 (4/6) We still have a bit to go before we drop to pre-2003 levels.
  17. Ah, youth. The Cubs are no strangers to an empty Wrigley, especially when it's awful, awful weather on a Monday against a crappy team and the Cubs themselves aren't inspiring much this season. It's a return back to the 90's. There was a sizable jump after the 2003 NLCS appearance but I guess all the enthusiasm has gone away.
  18. Dieties is a real word, I looked it up to be sure.
  19. Edit: And I'm an idiot, for some reason I thought you were saying #2 in the east is better than #1 in the west. my bad.
  20. Thank goodness for a reasonable explanation. yeah im so relieved that its an injury and not a dumb managerial move lol
  21. Gotta give Sori some credit. He's hit 100% of our home runs so far this year and driven in 25% of our RBIs.
  22. Here comes the little dribbler past the pitchers mound to score 2 runs.
  23. Damn you Starlin. Stop making Steve Stone look smart.
