What conclusion can I draw from this ??

It's completely random, and will even out over time. Last year....... CUBS are 40-29 when WGN broadcasts the game CUBS are 31-34 when CSN broadcasts the game This makes the combined records for 2007-08 look like this........... CUBS are 70-58 when WGN broadcasts the game CUBS are 74-51 when CSN broadcasts the game

Don't make more out of this than is actually there............. CUBS are 49-36 when Hornkohl is on the road.... 36-20 when he's at home Go CUBS !!

CUBS are 22-13 when Bruce Miles posts the starting lineup in the NSBB game thread.... 63-43 when he doesn't Go Bruce !!

No, not zackly....... I got here Sunday evening. So they already had nice losing streak under way, but sadly, they are 0-4 while I'm here. Definitely need to change that tonight !!!

Well..... seeing as how the CUBS have been so painful to watch these last few days, and I have to get on a plane tonight and leave this wonderful place....... I just thought I'd share a few pix with you all............ http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b137/Hornkohl/009.jpg Looking down from the mountain on Kailua-Kona http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b137/Hornkohl/040.jpg The crater at Mount Kilaueha http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b137/Hornkohl/045.jpg A view of the rain forest on Kilaueha http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b137/Hornkohl/049.jpg Looking through a "lava tube" on Kilaueha http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b137/Hornkohl/063.jpg This is a beautiful "black sand" beach...... where I lost my cell phone.

We put a ton of runners on base, we just didn't score very many of them. But, we all knew that, no?

Dempster has given up exactly 1 run in the first 3 innings of his last 5 starts put together. That 18-0 thing works for me.

CUBS are 48-3 when they score 7 runs or more. Games like last night just don't happen that often. And, quite frankly, that record would very likely be 49-2 if Lou hadn't brought our worst and least reliable reliever, by far, into a close (tied?) game. IF ???? You've got to be kidding !!! Don't give me IF !!! IF frogs had wings, they wouldn't bump their little butts on the ground !!!!
