I called John McDonough earlier today and explained to him that since the CUBS are 4-1 at night and 2-9 during the daytime, he should move all the rest of their afternoon games to 7:05pm starts. I'm still waiting for him to get back to me on that one.

You can make the argument that this April is worse than April 2006, and I guess, technically, that's correct. But I contend that both months are of the same order of magnitude of suckiness. So what if this year is a little worse.... it still sucks !!!

This game was even more frustrating to listen to on XM with Skip Caray !!!

Sorry, but I'm getting a little thrown off by these two stats....whats the difference here? If you lost 2 in a row, that's not one in a row, but you've still lost your previous game. Plus Fred likes to make up numbers to see if anyone's still reading. Busted !! :oops: Goony has it right.
