I've got to think he'll break out incredibly though at some point.

Come on Sori, please.

Hank White is gonna knock it out of the park! Had to get it off the ground first. :D I'll take this result, though.

Calling for a CUBS home run is never out of line !! :wink: Good point. :D Everybody safe!

Would I be out of line calling for a two-run homer here?

I refuse to refer to him as JR Tolls. To me, he is always JR Towles.

Nasty pitch by Z to get Blum there.

Walk to ARam sets up Kosuke!

Big Z definitely shouldn't cramp up today.

Nice double by DLee! The power is returning my friends. :D

Thought Sori might beat that one out...

What a cannon throw by Soriano! Heck yea!

If it offends you that much, there's always the channel up/down and mute buttons. :D oh, i changed the channel, make no mistake. for one, i think it's embarassing to watch a grown man sing either of those songs. also, i think it's ridiculous to watch the star-spangled banner on tv. do you stand and put your hand over your heart? i used to stand for nikolai volkov until my parents made me stop. but that soviet national anthem, now THERE is a song that gives you goosebumps. :lol: What if Volkov sung the National Anthem? Would that be better, or just sacrilege to you? i would give mad props to volkov if he could sing those songs, but i don't think he's alive enough to sing them. You may be right on that one Sulley.

I must say, I hate the bar at the top of the WGN telecast. It seems far too big.

Yeah, I'm not sure who he is but he definitely did one of the best versions of both songs I've ever heard. i thought he messed up some words, and mispronounced another. it's "perilous" right? It is perilous, I didn't notice the mispronounced words, though. Still sounded better than most I've heard.

Throw up would be my pick. God Bless America might be my least favorite song in the world. I actually like "God Bless America," though I guess I'm in the minority anymore.

I've often wondered that myself. Not quite sure what the appropriate answer is, though...

Theriot's been dropped from first to second to eighth in the lineup in 5 games. If Lou really had a love affair with Theriot, he'd still be hitting at the top of the order. Then what would you call it? Lou has continued to play him even though he has had 1 productive month in his entire MLB career, but he still gets to go out there everyday with no worries of him losing his job if he sucks(which he already does). Yet, our top positional prospect, who has torn up every level of minor leagues hes played in, gets 4 damn games to start and then gets benched for at least 2 consecutive games againste RH pitchers, and probably more games this week since we will be facing some lefties. I mean Lou is sitting Pie, against 2 RH pitchers, so he can start a guy who has a career .268 .328 .354 line against RH pitchers in over 1500 ab's, but will continue to roll out a guy who has been horrible for every month outside of 1 of his much longer MLB career. The fact that he moved Theriot down to the 8 hole is meaningless, hes starting every game. Hell the fact he put a guy with a .328 career OBP in the 2 hole says to me, that Lou really doesnt have a clue right now, and hasnt all year. Maybe he's hurt a bit more than we all thought and the extra day of rest will be good for his hand healing? I think everyone needs to get off the ledge. I posted a quote from ESPN earlier in this thread that stated he had a bruised wrist. It's certainly in his best interest to sit until that's mostly healed up.

I'll be getting paid to watch the Cubs game...suck on that. You're a very, very lucky man my friend. How did you manage to make that work? I work for a home-builder and only have about 2 customers come in per day. Hurray for jobs with very little responsibility! Very nice, my friend.

I consider this my first game as well. I got home to watch the 9th and 10th innings of the opener but that was only two innings At least you've gotten to watch something. I haven't seen a pitch until now.

I'm so happy...I finally get to watch regular season Cubs baseball. :D
