Nah. These will have to do, brah.

Best I've ever had in my life and probably best I ever will have. Picked em up the morning they put the dugout boxes on sale. Value dates FTW

Because he runs really hard and is short.

It's beyond me how people insist that Ryan Theriot is better than Cedeno at baseball. So Theriot proved that he can be just short of terrible (at times) at the MLB level last year. Whoop-de-doo. He was lucky to be not bad when he was. He's going to prove to suck even worse this year. He's bad. Those of you who think he's worth a crap can continue to delude yourselves and believe he just, somehow, has a skillset that would allow him to succeed in the highest level of baseball but that made success elude him in the lower ranks. Whatever you want to tell yourselves. It's funny, because I never realized that the minor leagues aren't baseball and that those performances don't count. Because, if they did, Cedeno's resume would blow Theriot's out of the water.

1. At least he didnt throw down his glove and stomp on it in a cartoonish moment 2. beween Soriano, Zito, and Schmidt, the '06-'07 Offseason wasted a lot of $ 3. Following in the footsteps of the great Augie Ojeda. I dont want to watch when we play Cincy and get smoked by C-Patt 4. Daryle Ward could steel home on that guy 5. it hapens. 6. its called 100 years of frustration 7. annoying, uneducated whichever 8. true. 9. eh Please. Soriano's contract is nowhere near the monumental wreck that those two are. It's not even close. Not yet, at least.

Jeez, they are ginormous, but I'm way too lazy to resize and rehost.

Too early for me to complain, so I'll just decline to comment on today's game. Here are a few pics I took. EDIT - Ok, here are smaller ones.

Prior was neither a year removed from college (well, college baseball) nor a rookie in 2003. Had he been, he would've been a consensus ROY, but yea.

Did Prior really need "settling down?" He wound up throwing ball 4 in an incredibly long AB against Castillo...Then he goes 0-2 on Pudge and happens to give up a hit, (which, IIRC, scored Pierre). That's just bad luck. Hits happen over the course of the game. You could argue that Prior shouldn't have given him anything hittable on 0-2 I guess, but I'm pretty sure the pitch was low and outside. Of course, Pudge seemed to hit everything low and away that series. Then he induced a DP ball from Cabrera. Maybe you can make an argument that a visit was warranted after Gonzo botched the DP ball, as that would obviously add to the frustration immensely, but, as someone else mentioned, I'm pretty sure a visit was made (albeit by Rothschild) at that point, anyway. Before the Gonzalez error, however, there really wasn't huge cause for concern. It was a minor jam at that point, IMO.

It could very easily have made no difference whatsoever.

You can't be serious. There's no way he's going to attempt to steal a base every single game for the rest of the year and get caught each and every time. Give me a break. That's just not going to happen. Even if he did it for like 30 games, don't you think they'd red light him at some point? http://home.comcast.net/~davhern2/wtf.gif COME ON!!! You people need to relax!

You must meet a lot of stupid people. I don't know anybody who actually blames that collapse on Bartman.

Can't say that I swing that way, omph.

I'd be willing to blow him away and get ripped off (a little) if it means we have a rotation of Z, Lilly, Harden, Hill, X for the length of this window we have right now.

Ah, nevermind. They clinched on a Friday night. So that Hill game must have been on Saturday and there must've been some Sunday game I forgot about.

And yes, I realize I could just go on BR and check that out for myself, but I'm too damn lazy.

Are the Cubs? Last regular season game, three playoff games, and first regular season game. So yes. Am I nuts? I thought they won the last game. Didn't Rich Hill have a no-no going? A bunch of rookies dressed like pink bunnies and stuff at the end of the game? Or did they lose and I just didn't care because, well, we had just made the playoffs?

Must be the selective moderation :-s Nah, I just > you at bending the rules, I guess. :twisted: You idiot. :mrgreen: Ban, plz.

I really wanted them to score again off Gagne so I could start a "game over Gagne" chant. :x

This is one of the most ignorant statements I have ever read on this board (or I'm just missing the dripping sarcasm). Derrek Lee is one of the classiest guys on this team, not to mention one of the best Cub hitters. This.

Are the Cubs?

Must be the selective moderation :-s Nah, I just > you at bending the rules, I guess. :twisted:

lulz, the funny thing is that I'd consider myself much more of a smart ass/jerk than roast (who is probably the opposite of that), and I've never been reprimanded on here in any way. Yet, at least.

If there's one player that MIGHT be available at this point (in other words, not Hanley Ramirez, ARod, etc. ) that I would be OK with Hendry giving up a big bunch of prospects for, it's Greene. Sigh.

Was that the same game that Beckett blew a 102 mph fastball by Sammy? Yea, I think that gun was a little off.
