1904? Yeah !! Me too !! :wink: Still an Alton Parker fan after all these years! A second reference to Judge Parker. I don't understand the fascination with him..... I was always more impressed with Colonel Francis Parker..... but, whatever.

Off days are so boring. [/sigh]

speaking of streaks..... the CUBS have won 8 in a row in the Friendly Confines !! :wink:

It's always good to learn of someone new who has accepted the challenge, hardships, and torture necessary to be a fan of the Cubs. Welcome to hell! :mrgreen: You don't have to be crazy to be a CUBS fan..... but let me tell you, it sure does help !!! :tease:

Bah !! DeRosa is piker !! He can't even outhit a pitcher !! 03/31 - 06/08 BA OBP SLG OPS Zambrano 0.364 0.364 0.523 0.886 DeRosa 0.303 0.392 0.488 0.880

Welcome to the forum, Ski !!

Good point. I had pretty much forgotten about his antics afterward !!

Ah yes, the reason we learned to hate Edgar Renteria. In my mind, it's all on the umpire, Jim Wolf.
