Apparently today is going to be an off day for Fukudome. Tonight's game is going to be fun.

I would not give my left testical for my team to win in the playoffs. ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow

Justin Upton was the freaking #1 overall pick in one of the most stacked drafts in recent memory. I'd rather hope he would be better than Felix Pie at this point, considering he was drafted over the following players: Alex Gordon Jeff Clement Ryan Zimmerman Ryan Braun Troy Tulowitzki Cameron Maybin Jay Bruce Jacoby Ellsbury Matt Garza Colby Rasmus And that was just in the first round! What the heck is the point of this post? If you want to rip Pie, just come straight out and say it. Don't feed us this whole line about Justin Upton when there was no way in hell the Cubs were going to get him in the draft or through a trade.

Pull Z.

But Felix Pie needs to learn his lesson!

It doesn't look like Soriano hit Fukudome's glove and it's hard to tell when the ball popped out. Tough play.

Did Soriano knock that out of Fukudome's glove?

Nice catch, Scrappy.

It's 2-2.

Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice. Gobbled him up with the sinker! Anyone got the pitch count for Z?

Christ Comcast, never show Z from the waist down. The man is constantly adjusting himself.

Bit of a crazy play there.

I'm really worried that some people will take it out of hand and give us all a bad name. He should be booed, loudly, but no slurs, please. I'm going to guess the following scenario happens. Dusty gets booed really heavily each day of the Cubs/Reds series. Afterwards, even though nobody at Wrigley heard those slurs used, Dusty will accuse the Cubs fans of hurling racial slurs at him non-stop. He will then get on his high horse about how Cincinnati is a city that is much more accepting of him and it has no racism problems whatsoever. Nope, none! Not any! Of course, his story will change when Ken Griffey Junior starts to slump and gets booed by the Cincy fans.

We also don't have any ongoing jokes happening at the moment. Otherwise, every other wiseass on this board would be contributing to the joke. Nope. No ongoing jokes. No joke to "beat" into the ground. No joke to "abuse" over and over again. That's because we already told the joke twice.

I'm guessing Dusty will get booed mercilessly in his forthcoming return to Wrigley.

There is a glut of players who can play the OF and 1B down in Peoria. Between Burke, Rundle, Andersen, Rosa, and Johnston, there are only so many places they can play. Moreover, for whatever reason, Blake Lalli has secured a hold on the DH spot.

Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice.

Are we talking more about guys who were drafted pretty low coming out of HS/college, or are we talking about guys who had substandard minor league careers before coming up to the majors and breaking out?

It's been awhile since we've had a Rich Hill pissing contest. How the man inspires this much bizarre behavior from certain posters on this board will forever be a mystery to me. So, when Lilly gets shelled in Philly this weekend, how many posts will we see seriously advocating his removal from the rotation? None? One?

Frankly, if Harvey gets himself back on track this season, I can definitely see him really high on the list of prospects the Cubs would be happy to trade in a deadline deal. He can't play CF and the other two corner OFs on this team won't be going anywhere any time soon. On the other hand, having some RH power would be welcome on the bench.

Anyone want to put an over/under on borderline offensive references to Myers' treatment of his wife in this thread?

Just goes to show you steroids don't do jack with your plate discipline.

And I understand being down when your team loses, but their broadcast team sound like totally broken men. I almost expected to hear them commit suicide on the air. Their silence during the Soto and Fontenot HRs was almost Hawk-like.
