Geovany Soto finds Lou Piniella's lack of faith disturbing. -
Len looks like he's about ready to go to bed.
-
Ahhhhhhhhhhhh, that's more like it.
-
Nice inning.
-
With the wind howling in, it's going to be really hard to get hits via fly balls.
-
He's a good utility guy and a decent everyday starter. Sadly, that just about describes everyone on this team who plays 2B/SS. I see Jim Edmonds' prolific power hasn't left him.

Ron Santo shows Pat Hughes that the Subway commercials were lying about the 5 dollar foot long deals, as his sandwich measured in at 11 1/2 inches.

Oh quit your belly aching. I haven't seen goony or Don Kessinger Was Good around this thread. Someone needs to be the pessimist! :lol:

I didn't think it was possible, but Fontenot's arm is worse than Theriot's.
-
Jim Edmonds thanks you for that.
-
That's Banks Boulevard, haven't you heard?
-
Not the best inning in the world, but I'll take it. Keep an eye on Gallagher's velocity. He was hitting 95 early on, but seemed to be 90/91 after getting hit in the hand.
-
It ricocheted off of his pitching hand. Lou and the HP ump are now chatting and laughing.
-
Of course! Everyone in the dugout is still laughing about it. I'm wondering what was said, you never see that kind of reaction (on both sides). Bob thought it was Lou pushing the umpire's buttons and joking around, given that Lou's the one who's laughing the hardest about it.

Everyone cracking up at the ump yelling at the Cubs' dugout. It's like a class snickering when the teacher chews out one of the students.
-
Over-do it much with the national anthem?
-
Nothing says ESPN like two drunk rambling idiots calling a game.
-
Chris Berman and Rick Sutcliffe in the ESPN booth? Len and Bob it is!

Baseball is onnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn the air!

Link Interesting...

You know what we haven't done enough? Make fun of the Mets.

Would the obligation to pay that deferred payment transfer to any team who trades for him, or would the Mets still be on the hook for it? -

Beltran's contract is fun! Link I'd love to have him in CF, but man, the last few years of his contract are not pretty. Also, can anyone explain the money deferred thing? I remember it was what killed the Diamondbacks for a number of years, but I can't quite remember the mechanics of it. -
The wind here has been howling all day. It actually kept me up last night since it rattled my windows non-stop.

Minor League Discussion & Boxes 5-26-2008
Outshined_One replied to Outshined_One's topic in Cubs Minor League Talk
And you sort of predicted this, right? It's a nice little stretch, but it's still very little. His season long and May OPS are still just 702 and 707, respectively. He's going to have to sustain this for a while to impress me. Definitely. He has to keep this up a lot longer to impress. But the BB rate is my primary concern right now. He's a career .290+ hitter so far, so I don't have much doubt that he's NOT going to hover around the .240s much longer. That and we already know he can put up pretty good power numbers. Heck, if the guy can finish the season at .280/.358/.469 (this year's IsoD and last year's IsoP, if you're wondering) while playing a good CF, the guy will make a strong case for being the top Cubs prospect. Those aren't superstar numbers, but I don't think anyone would complain about getting that kind of production out of CF.
