  1. It wouldn't do any good. There was a zip code list posted before, and it was completely inaccurate. I can't tell you the frustration of sitting on the phone trying to figure out why my zip wasn't on the list but I was still being blacked out; the operator insisting I wasn't blacked out when I was. Christ, it was like taking a sledgehammer to your head. Don't waste your time and brain cells.
  2. A decent sized winning or losing streak would significantly alter those numbers though. The best thing to say right now is that it's still early. The Crew had a great month. Maybe they'll have more great months, and maybe they won't.
  3. Well, we have gone from what? 7-13 to 12-14? I'll give 'em some credit for a nice little spike here end April/early May. Consistency over the long term though. Won't matter if we come back and drop 2, 3 games right away.
  4. Ack! It's like looking out over the edge of the Grand Canyon
  5. A chance for Felix Pie, CF for the Cubs, to show his quality.
  6. I think HBP. I don't have an update on him though.
  7. Wow you're right. That seemed to happen quick.
  8. Oh boy, tailor-made opportunity for DLee.
  9. Laughably easy. Jack Wilson. Even when figuring in that Wilson is owed $14 million through 2009? At least the Cubs can cut Izturis. That's what? Less than $5mil/yr? We're paying mid-range starters 7-10mil/yr as it is. No, I meant $14 million over 2008 and 2009, though I certainly wasn't clear about it. He's making $20 million over 2007, 2008, and 2009. Yeah, that's certainly worse. Get Pitt to pick up a couple mil each year :)
  10. I never in a million years dreamed he would start off the season this hot (*crosses fingers*)
  11. Laughably easy. Jack Wilson. Even when figuring in that Wilson is owed $14 million through 2009? At least the Cubs can cut Izturis. That's what? Less than $5mil/yr? We're paying mid-range starters 7-10mil/yr as it is.
  12. Laughably easy. Jack Wilson. Jack in a flash.
  13. And according to Gameday it was a pretty good pitch to hit. When the bases are loaded(especially after a pitcher just forced someone in), looking for the first pitch is a very common and sound approach. Yeah, I understand the frustration but when a guy can't get anything over the plate sometimes he'll just throw a meatball up there on the first pitch to try and get strike 1. It's a valid approach, IMO. Barrett's just really off right now.
  14. Hurt. I didn't catch how. Ooooh, pitching injuries would be something that could derail the Brew Crew express.... Not saying it's an injury, of course.
  15. well I just don't like how that sounds, but yeah you're right.
  16. first pitch swinging, damn you Cliff!!
  17. Lee at .417 8-) I believe that's tops in the league.
  18. I find it interesting he's using Dempster in extended closer outings like this. Do you think it's because he used to be a starter, so Lou figures he can lean on him a bit more than a "normal" closer?
  19. Our LOOGY got the job done as a LOOGY. Let's LOOGY him more often, Lou-gy 8-)
