  1. Pat and Ron just brought up something interesting... the first inning today was the first time in 3 games that the Cubs have been retired in order.
  2. This made me laugh really hard. He's finally starting to realize what he's in for, I think.
  3. I've never been to Wrigley, so this is purely from the outside looking in, but I don't know where all the "people are Wrigley don't even know what's going on in the game" stuff comes from. I mean, every big situation that pops up in the game, even in the first inning, the fans are on their feet cheering. It seems to me if nobody knew what was going on, that wouldn't happen. They even cheered Glavine after his last inning of work in his win #300 game, cheered Maddux when he left in his last start as a Cub, cheered for Wood in his 2007 return, etc. This isn't the type of things that people who aren't paying attention do. There are always idiots, that's never going to change. But it seems to me that they are vastly outnumbered at the games.
  4. Oh, when I put this I hadn't actually seen the T-shirts. I just assumed that it was racist in the same way that Resident Evil 5 is "racist." (meaning not racist at all) That shirt, however, is clearly offensive. I take back what I said.
  5. I downloaded gameday on my cellphone for stuff like that. Sucks through your minutes (and battery) like crazy, but if you only check it once every few innings it's a good thing to have. Especially since I'm usually at work during the games.
  6. They have a tough month of June. If they haven't been buried by then, they will be in June.
  7. I'm a little worried about the lack of a "sham closer" reference in this topic. We can't let that die. That's our "if Zambrano starts, your in trouble" :(
  8. ........those Fukudome Tshirts are not meant to be racist.
  9. It doesn't, no. But I'm going to bed or something. This got boring.
  10. I thought you got carried away when you said that you would prefer Pods leading off to Manny leading off and then later said we could all agree that a leadoff hitter's job is to get on base.
  11. Again, I never said Pods was a better player, but he is a better lead off hitter than Lee... nine carlos lees are going to score more runs than one scot podsednik and 8 carlos lees. Maybe, but that team would not win anything either... I would like for you to be promoted to GM of the Brewers.
  12. Every one that I've ever seen makes fun of people's family on internet blogs. That must mean they all do that. What a sickening and obnoxious fanbase.
  13. Never said that. And I'll give it until the end of June until Bruce is up. Rumor has it Dusty has wanted Bruce up since spring training, but Krivsky wouldn't allow it. Damn Dusty. Rumor has it that the deal for Brian Roberts was completed quite some time ago.
  14. I used to like Dusty a lot, too...back when I was terribly uninformed about baseball. I defended him quite a bit on this forum, even quit coming here for a while because I thought the Dusty bashing was completely out of line. ...I'm so glad you guys set me straight. I owe you one.
  15. Dusty named Hee Seop Choi the starter, too. And doesn't that "He just needed more aggressiveness" quote worry you just a little?
  16. Am I the only one who was immature enough to laugh when they said "there are like 40 balls coming in here...there are balls coming from all over the place!" heh I also loved how he said that we won't win the division because we're the Cubs and we always screw it up...even though we've won the division twice in the past 5 years.

  18. Damn, I don't think there is a pitcher in baseball I hate more than Jeff Weaver. It's gonna suck when he owns us.
  19. Rusty Kuntz.
  20. I musta missed it, what did Bruce say about Pie?
  21. This is a nice atbat by Ramirez...kinda.
  22. I thought Dusty Baker's Reds were good this year? :confused:
  23. Cool. Good thing we have a 2nd baseman playing left field and a good ML left fielder down in AAA.
