You keep it up, and I'll make you a distant memory, eh?

If you are going to make posts like this for the first series of the season you should just stop posting until the season is over. Unless you are a Braves fan. Bum, are you taking on the job of telling people when they may and may not post ?

Why did you take a course with such a stupid start time ??? Because that's the only time said course was offered. It's all about priorities, Otis.

Bottom third of the Yankees lineup is 4 for 5 with 3 runs scored and 2 RBIs. Red Sox have one hit.

Hard telling. I haven't seen what the rest of the crews look like yet. The one thing I don't get..... as bad as Angel Hernandez is..... the CUBS always seem to win when they draw his number !!! Go figure.

They made the Red Sox look like little leaguers there !!

I hate Jeter, too !!

Yucking Fankees !!

That was angel hernandez. It should come to be expected at this point. Yeah, I see they've scrambled the umpiring crews again this year. I dont know who the other two are, but with Joe West and Angel Hernandez this has to be one of the worst in baseball. Might as well throw CB Bucknor in there too and get as many worthless umps in one place as possible. This crew is: HP: Joe West, cc 1b: Angel Hernandez 2b: Paul Schreiber 3b: Rob Drake. Last year, West's crew was...... Joe West Paul Schrieber Paul Nauert Jeff Kellogg While Angel Hernandez was on Tim Welke's crew....... Tim Welke Bill Welke Angel Hernandez Jim Reynolds

That was angel hernandez. It should come to be expected at this point. Yeah, I see they've scrambled the umpiring crews again this year.

Oh, that was a terrible call !!

Just like what we used to see on WGN back in the '50s, eh?

Why did you take a course with such a stupid start time ???

Greet speed my ass, he was jogging back !!!

Is there a way that both these teams could lose ??

OMC..... we gotta talk !!! :wink:

I am so pumped about the baseball season !!! Was hoping to get to Atlanta for the opener, but that's not going to happen. I might make it down there for the Thursday game. [fingers crossed]. Go CUBS !!! :yahoo:

It's been a long, cold, lonely 6 months since Ryan Dempster and the CUBS lost a disappointing 5-2 game to the Diamondbacks to close out a disappointing season and send me into withdrawal..... but, finally, it's time for baseball again !!! \:D/ :clapping: :amen: :yahoo: \:D/ :clapping: :amen: :yahoo: So, here's the matchup as our CUBS travel to Atlanta for the opener ....... http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/images/fantasy/wsfb/41x50/407296.jpg Carlos Zambrano (9-7) ERA = 3.77, WHIP = 1.38 vs. http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/images/fantasy/wsfb/41x50/117955.jpg Derek Lowe (15-10) ERA = 4.67, WHIP = 1.52 Go CUBS !!

Let the congregation say AMEN !!

Don't worry Fred, fake baseball will be over soon. The world of Soriano stealing bases and Silva pitching scoreless baseball will be a memory by next week. You and your rucking feality !! :wink:

Soriano had a stolen base today, too. Not sure how I feel about that. He went 3 for 3, and the CUBS got 6 hits all day. Carlos Silva with another scoreless outing today. What is this world coming to ????

Caridad gives up a lead off double.... then gets the next 3. CUBS WIN !! CUBS WIN !! CUBS WIN !! :yahoo: :yahoo:

Going to the bottom of the ninth..... can Caridad hold the lead ?? Go CUBS !!

..... and I just figured out the game is on the radio. Sheesh !! Go CUBS !!

Russell shuts 'em down 1-2-3 in the ninth inning. Final score CUBS 4 Texas 1 CUBS WIN !! CUBS WIN !! CUBS WIN !! :yahoo:
