But we're talking about being a baseball fan. Obviously the chemical addiction of a drug compared to being a baseball fan is quite an exaggeration, but the fact is people are unhealthily addicted to a baseball team and cannot break said addiction even if they hate the fact that they are a fan of such a lousy team. It's like saying, if you hate being a fan of a team that's perpetually bad (historically) like the Cubs, why don't you just be a Cardinals fan?
I don't think ARam will be out for another month...probably 2-3 weeks. And we don't even know if we have the financial resources to make a trade bc of the sale. And if we do have limited resources, its pretty unlikely that we will give the go ahead to spend them given the way the Cubs have played. I think what you see is what you get. They are a team that is not one more away from competing for a championship.
White Sox! White Sox! Go-Go White Sox! Let's go Go-Go White Sox! We're with you all the way! You're always in there fighting, And you do your best. We're glad to have you out there in the Middle West.
Man, I bet Zambrano wishes there wasn't an article on the front page of Chicagosports.com that is titled "Big Z out to show Sox pitching coach". Show him what exactly?
I always thought DeRosa was a self centered jerk that's just there to cash a paycheck. (sorry I have to get adjusted to a new mindset regarding DeRosa...if I keep saying it, eventually I'll believe it.)
I figured we needed a shot of good vibes in this thread so.... http://d.yimg.com/a/p/ap/20090628/capt.3778c4d7eb5544c48f775b22b1e4ff17.twins_cardinals_baseball_mojr105.jpg http://d.yimg.com/a/p/ap/20090628/capt.3758411492ff4bd6b6d21ba22f36d0aa.derosa_cardinals_baseball_mojr102.jpg http://d.yimg.com/a/p/ap/20090628/capt.551f6ee048694a938efb57b6ab9776c7.derosa_cardinals_baseball_mojr101.jpg Oops sorry there's no good vibes for the northside 9 today.
The loss stings right now but soon enough we'll be able to look back and remember that the US was ~25 minutes away from winning a FIFA sanctioned tournament that included Spain, Italy and Brazil.
I can't wait for the break to get here. A few days off to get away from the team, clear their heads and hopefully give them a chance to recommit themselves to what they set out to do this season might be what it takes to turn the season around.
Even though we lost that wad a fun backand forth game to follow. Classic Cubs-Sox battle. Things are a lot easier to accept and enjoy when you realize it's two mediocre .500 teams battling it out for city bragging rights. The Cubs can still turn it around but as it stands right now the Cubs are about a .500 team and have been playing like it basically all season.
is 90 the edens express? Im sorry. No, Kennedy. 94 is the edens yeah the Kennedy. It started right after the split heading north. It's probably all toll both traffic but I'm 2 hours late for my cousins graduation party so was hoping to make up time on the road. /livejournal blogging
I've never seen a baseball team that had more (established) pitchers come down with a complete inability to throw strikes consistently. Between Dempster, Gregg, Marmol, Heilman, and others, I wanna pull my hair out just thinking about it.
Eh, he's been ok. But he's 1-3 with something like a 5.90 ERA vs the Sox in his career, so yea. A bit part of that is the 2.1 IP 8 ER performance (or something like that) that he had against the Sox last year.
