  1. Time for the pads to bust it open
  2. lol at the Brewers looking as miserable as we have against a much worse team and much worse pitcher than we've faced.
  3. How fitting that Estes is getting the job done for us tonight... I'm going to Cincy this weekend and the last time I was there was for the Estes game.
  4. One more run before I can feel remotely comfortable
  5. Suppan balks, haha NICE 3-1!
  6. They never look out at 2nd to me on those plays
  7. That carried much further than I thought.
  8. Awesome. Good news day today after a ton of crap for the past few days.
  9. I've always been under the impression that if Z wasn't a Cub, he'd be hated by 99.9% of the population around here. No doubt. He'd pass Valverde, AJ Alphabet, Carlos Lee, Braun, LaTroy, etc. by a mile.
  10. Ah. Got it. I never actually won a spot when I signed up for those premium seat lotteries.
  11. What's the diff?
  12. He seems pessimistic, but also gave him the time table of 10 days (isn't that what DXL means) Where did Will Carroll get his velocity readings from? http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_mdh8Yg649Vg/SL8HU9xPYxI/AAAAAAAABsw/PVfB7Qu35bE/s1600-h/bigzmph01.PNG 404 not found
  13. Seriously. We're talking about something that completely takes up your attention for sometimes 30-45 minutes at a set time vs. filling out a form whenever the hell you feel like and being alerted when/if you get a shot. Most people aren't willing to do this, believe that.
  14. You must be really bad at buying tickets. It ain't hard, it doesn't take that much focus, and it's quite easy to beat the clock. Yea, no. Maybe you have super-vision that can look two places at once, or something, because otherwise there's no way to know when you finally do get through without looking at your screen and only your screen for however many minutes it takes for you to get lucky. And beating the clock isn't as easy as you make it seem when the systems are all bogged down because a bunch of other people are trying to do the same thing and their systems can't handle the load.
  15. The same could be said about just about any "work" that involves using a computer. It takes complete focus & attention, some effort, and knowing what you're doing. It's not exactly easy. What? Complete focus & attention? No. Effort? No. Not easy? No. If you have like 200 tabs open, you have to pay extremely close attention to make sure you catch the one that "makes" it in. I can't sit there and watch TV while I'm doing it. It's also a pain in the ass and there are plenty of people who wouldn't bother making that much of an effort or dedicating that much time to it. To do it, you HAVE to dedicate that block of time to it because you really can't do anything else. Once you actually do get in, it's a race against the clock to make the purchase and get it through before you lose that window, which is a pain in itself.
  16. I want a game tonight, damnit.
  17. Am I crazy or was there a post about the doom and gloom article by a guy named Cubsin08 or something right before mine... :shock:
  18. It's an AP story. None of those sites typically write the "news" stories themselves. They just post up the Associated Press stories. They sometimes add their own stuff later on, but for most run of the mill stories they don't. Welcome to the forum!
  19. We have a winner. This kind of stuff has been going on forever. His teammates don't like it, but they move on. Thank you, Bruce.
  20. If it's the AP story that's running that "blow to the Cubs chances" thing, it's going to be on every national media outlet.
  21. I'll be at the game on the 7th. Sitting 5 rows behind the Cubs dugout. Where are you at? Don't quite have tickets yet. :D) I should know soon, though... or we might just end up buying at the window.
  22. The other problem with setting the expectations for an early return is that now people are going to freak the hell out again if they actually do the smart thing and wait a little longer (see Harden, Rich).
  23. lol Bruce saying that players are now using Cialis combined with Red Bull/Coffee in place of amphetamines...
