    I'd have had more faith in him if I'd knew Meek was going to throw him 3 really hittable pitches in a row with a 1-2 count. Have no idea why he didnt send one down and away.
  2. UMFan83
    Is he trying to let sori tie it?

    Have you lived there for awhile? I can imagine it would actually suck after awhile. Since last August. I live on Wilton so it's actually pretty quiet but still close to the action. I just know whenever I've walked down to watch a game at Sports Corner or Murphys, its fun at first and annoying later because whenever there's a key moment I keep waiting for a cheer that never comes. I'm glad I can only vaugely hear the cheering when I'm standing on my deck.

    lol, if it wasn't for the Pirates defense, we'd have 2 total runs all series. Thanks guys! Byrd is a pro, he knows the best way to get on is to hit it right at a Pirate :) 2 days in a row now.

    Any truth to the rumor that Starlin and Derrick Rose hung out all offseason together?

    In case anyone was curious....home game 2 attendances: 2011: 35,782 2010: 39,565 2009: 39,361 2008: 39,468 2007: 35,924 2006: 40,182 2005: 38,743 2004: 38,968 2003: 29,966 And before 2004 it was pretty common to have a good deal less than capacity in April.

    Sorry if this was posted earlier, but the paid attendance is 35,782 today

    We are all aware the Cubs are going to win like 11-2 tomorrow right?

    Never heard of that rule before. Good to know. :good: According to Bob, if the runner was on the move, the base is considering unoccupied and Soriano could have run. However, if the runner was holding at 1B, the base is occupied. I just explained this rule to my boss. He is at the game and sent me a text screaming about Soriano, lol. Meh, I'm sure he would have found another reason to boo Soriano anyways.
  11. UMFan83
    Because he can't hit righties for the life of him

    So far in 16 innings we've gotten one RBI hit. Gotta be something like 1-9 with RISP

    I'm torn on this. Obviously having home court over the Spurs if they met in the WCF would be great and if there's a first-round upset, the Lakers would get that team instead of the Spurs/Thunder/Mavs in the second round. But if the favorites all win, I'd much rather play Dallas than OKC in the second round and Dallas and OKC are pretty much locked into the 3 and 4 seeds barring an epic collapse by Dallas. Hopefully the Bulls can lose a game or two so the Lakers would have home court in the Finals if the two teams met. There's no reseeding in the NBA playoffs. So, the 1 seed in the West will get OKC/Denver in the second round. I thought they changed that after the year when Golden State beat Dallas in the 8-1 matchup and then played the 4/5 while the 2 and 3 met up, but I guess not. Well, scratch that part out and I'm still torn on where I want the Lakers to finish. The only change they've made to playoff seeding lately is where they allowed one non-division winning to be seeded ahead of other division winning teams with a worse record.
  14. UMFan83
    lol I was just about to say that Soriano was doing a good job that AB at laying off horrible pitches. Whoops.
  15. UMFan83
    Random fact: The Cubs are 1-7 in the second game of the season since 2003. Their only win came in 2007.
  16. UMFan83
    That would be funny if whoever the pitching coach was (forget his name) brought a banana out to the mound with him.
  17. UMFan83
    We did, but he's actually become pretty good. When you creamed him, he was a rule 5 guy who had never pitched above AA ball. Last year he was a legit all star. Yeah just like David Patton. Oh wait. What the hell ever happened to that dude?

    If anyone had the MLB At Bat app, there is a free MLB.tv preview for the month of April. Not sure if it's only for the people who have the full version of the app (it's 14.99) or if the lite version works as well but I have the full version and it works.
  19. UMFan83
    Doh! Bad Z!
  20. UMFan83
    They were fairly patient yesterday if I remember correctly. The scouting report was probably to attach early in te count and if so, it ha worked since the Cubs have hit it hard 4 times already.
  21. UMFan83
    It's not fair that the MLB stuck us with the World Series favorites for the first series of the season.
  22. UMFan83
    Ricketts has overplayed his hand. Ticket prices have gone from merely unreasonable to absolutely obscene. If you look back at some of the old games they sometimes show on CSN with Harry they will celebrate 25K in attendance and 2 million for the season. I wonder if in a few years we may go back to that. Many 'newer' Cubs fans don't believe me at first when I tell them there was only 15,000 fans at Kerry Woods 20K game.
  23. UMFan83
    Don't forget "Ballgame". Although it sucks that it's another tough loss to open the season, I have faith in Z tomorrow. We'll be a .500 team by tomorrow night. I wonder why all of a sudden we can't beat the Pirates. Well this year the issue is that they are decent, or at least better than years past. I really like their offense in general.
  24. UMFan83
    That's awesome. At one point we were 13-13, and since then we've gone 10-2 in road games.
  25. UMFan83
    Of course, if we want the number 1 seed, the Heat are now 2.5 back (3 in loss column). But in this case, because we own the tiebreaker, if the Bulls go 4-3, the Heat cannot get the number 1 seed.
