Looks like the Diamondbacks forgot to turn the AC on.

I believe Madison Dearborn has been hit pretty hard by the credit crunch. Canning and his group might not have the available resources to put in a billion dollar bid for the Cubs. Deliberately under-bidding for something like this is an absolutely stupid idea, especially considering how Zell has emphasized he wants this done in a tight time timeframe. Canning coming back to him in a week with an extra zero attached to the bid isn't going to look above water on Canning's part, know what I mean? Good to see Cuban has moved on, though! I'm very curious as to the identities of the other bidders.

This pick is going to make me feel icky. RB Ryan Grant, Green Bay

Owwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww...that hit bone.

I hope Lou gets out some canisters of gasoline and commits arson on this ballpark.

There's the double.

Bob, talking about one guy wearing another man's pants is kind of creepy.

Here comes Hart. I predict two walks, a double, and a home run.

I predict Lou loses his mind tomorrow after Lilly gives up his third HR.

Glad to see the WP ended up not mattering.

hahahahahahahahahahahaha

Where's Mark Clark when you need him? So true! How about a Phil Nevin and a Todd Hundley as well? We need some Morandini Mullet. Darn right and the Cubs Shawn-O-Meter as well. Remember the debates everyone had over Juan Cruz versus Shawn Estes?

Where's Mark Clark when you need him?

...but would you have been surprised?

I think it's time to give Soto a day off.

The 2003 NLCS made me suicidal. The last week and a half of the 2004 season made me homicidal.

:wave: 2004 reporting for duty. 2005 in the house!

Good call.

Thankfully, he has a brain and will not do this. The idea of Fontenot, Theriot, Cedeno, and Ward across the diamond is entertaining!

I think Edmonds is pretty much giving up. I can't say I blame him.

Here's how I feel at the moment: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v414/Outshined_One/DataBSOD.gif

Why.

I think Drew aggravated his insecurity. He can't believe he's this good, especially against the Cubs.

Nah, that's coming with the bases loaded in the 6th.
