Outshined_One

A Ryne Sandberg commercial? You know what that means! The minor leagues are supposed to be about the young kids. Helping the kids become major leaguers. He's only out for himself, just like he always was. All he ever cared about was winning - winning - winning.

This is comical.

That would have been a lot more interesting on a neutral day.

Lilly's offspeed stuff looks really hittable today. Good thing the wind is blowing in!

I hate waking up to no food in the house. I love waking up to the Cubs, though.

*Groan* Seriously, the injuries to the Cubs' minor league pitchers have been unbelievably annoying this year. It's unrealistic to expect everyone to stay healthy, but this year...sheesh.

i'm going to take the under it should be like 5% If they play .500 ball the rest of the way, which is obviously doable, they'll finish with 87-88 wins. You think the Marlins and the Phillies will both finish with more wins than that? I think the Brewers have a better shot at getting 87-88 wins than the Cardinals do.

So...you're saying you liked his curveball tonight?

Urge to ban...rising...

Anyone get a picture of Manny holding up the sign at today's Red Sox game saying he'd been traded to Green Bay for Favre? :lol:

Outshined took him last round. I might like both WRs, but there's no freaking way I'm ever going to have two Lions on the same fantasy team. That's just begging for a last place finish.

I wonder what he did to piss Lou off. He's fat, out of shape, and can't stay healthy. So is Daryl Ward, but Lou loves the guy.

Eyre looks so sad and lonely in the bullpen.

Still outside of grand slam range.

Oh, he was safe.

That worries me. He's gonna make it interesting. Why not use Eyre....I think he's gotten enuf rest lately. It's still his nap time.

Catcher's speed!

Awesome camerawork.

Stop trying to destroy Dempster's arm, Lou.

Details, please His breaking ball was bad, needless to say.
