How can you...... uh........ on second thought,..... I don't want to know. :wink:

Yeah.... but..... but... we'll have Bear weather for the game, eh?

If frogs had wings, they wouldn't bump their little butts on the ground, eh?

CUBS are 5-10 when the opponent executes a sac bunt.... 24-10 when they don't Go CUBS !!

Interesting how that works....... 03/31 - 05/25 OPS P/PA 1st inning 0.809 4.00 2nd inning 0.846 3.53 3rd inning 0.855 3.80 4th inning 0.827 3.75 5th inning 0.890 3.79 6th inning 0.790 4.00 7th inning 0.847 4.03 8th inning 0.783 4.05 9th inning 0.717 4.02 10th inning 0.375 3.57 11th inning 0.620 3.83 12th inning 0.643 5.14 13th inning 0.333 4.44 14th inning 0.821 3.75 15th inning 0.971 2.86

Hendry said he wanted guys who could catch the ball, and we all laughed at him.

I don't believe what I'm seeing. It's like deja vu all over again. How the hell can this happen ???

CUBS are 18-5 when Marmol pitches in the game. Go CUBS !!

CUBS are 11-5 when they allow fewer than 3 walks.... 18-15 when they don't Go CUBS !!

CUBS are 25-2 when they lead after 8 innings Go CUBS !!

Fukudome is having a real tough week. Note the P/PA there...... 05/20 - 05/25 AB R H 2b 3b HR RBI BB SO BA OBP SLG OPS BABIP P/PA RBI% Fukudome 15 1 2 0 0 0 1 3 1 0.133 0.278 0.133 0.411 0.143 3.67 0.111

CUBS are 26-11 when they get at least 8 hits..... 3-9 when they don't Go CUBS !!

That must be some low rent neighborhood you live in, eh? I'm sure it could *always* be lower-rent, Fred! ;) [sigh]

That must be some low rent neighborhood you live in, eh?

Ya know... it's really starting to sound like you guys want the CUBS to lose.
