I ate a banana! I'm not gonna take the cheap shot. Nope, no way. :wink:

Well we have walked 8 times. :lol: I can't believe Dusty is tolerating his team to clog the bases 4 times this game. Dunn must perpetually be in Dusty's doghouse. Last time the CUBS drew 8 walks in a game.... Wed 25 June 08 (10 walks) in an 7-4 win over Baltimore at Wrigley Go CUBS !!

Greetings one and all from beautiful Clear Lake, IA !! Just logged on to check with central dispatch..... anything new and exciting happening here ??

CUBS haven't won 2 games in a row since the white sox came to Wrigley Field. Go CUBS !!

+1 I think the title should be changed to reflect that the game is being broadcast by CSN TV.

We'll find out tomorrow Ah, darnit ... I jumped the gun. That's OK.... just don't jump the shark, eh? :wink:

J. Nelson Fox with the white sox used to choke up as much or maybe more than Ashburn.... but I doubt you'd consider him to be "in modern times". :wink:

I doubt they'll send Dempster and Zambrano to the hill on 3 days rest this early in the season. I think your computer wanted to forget Marquis existed Fred :D , as does both ESPN.com and Cubs.com's probable starters. He or Gallagher will have to pitch sometime next week. Yeah... I just went with ESPN on this one. I don't know why they seem so quick to skip over Marquis, he's got 3 QS out of his last 5 starts, and the 3 before that he gave up 3 runs each time but didn't quite make it to 6 innings.

I've got the matchups like this..... but you know how fast these things can change.........
