Dont Umpires rotate clockwise? It's a 3-game series so we wont see him at the plate. True.... but I don't want to see him at all !!

Great ! C B Bucknor is at third base tonight.

I swear !! Every time Dusty gives one of the regulars a day off.... somebody on this message board goes ballistic about it !! :wink:

A true CUBS fan would have equiped his vehicle with XM radio as a contingency plan for just such circumstances as these, no? :wink: and to think i used to really like you fred, haha....but in my defense this was a spur of the moment deal so i did not have time to prepare, up until last nite i thought i would be enjoying the game at home with some murphy's stout Well... here's hoping you'll be able to pick up WGN or KMOX after the sun goes down, and at least catch the last half of the game !!

The Cardinals' record is horrible when they are trailing after 5. My husband is sorta the BOTB version of Fred...I can get the stats if you want specifics. All I remember right now is they're not pretty. I know for a fact that they have only won 1 game when they have trailed going into the ninth inning. You poor dear. :wink:

Huh ? That can't be right. Anyway, it's 10PM here. This ubs fan needs a couple of beers to feel better. Yeah. I edited that.
