  1. Betancourt singled with two outs in the bottom of the eleventh and the Mariners beat the White Sox.
  2. So wait, you mean to tell me that a team was leading by a very convincing 3-0 margin in the 8th inning, only to have a complete collapse with 5 outs to go and blow the ballgame? Holy crap, sucks to be THAT team. Good thing it wasn't during a more important game like in the playoffs or something - i can only imagine how terrible that would be... I don't know whether to laugh or to cry.
  3. Hope so, there aren't many better sights than Jacque positively beaming as he rounds the bases after a big home run. Agreed. Both this home run and the one against the Cards were awesome.
  4. Odds of Z walking a batter in the 3rd?
  5. Apparently, they think the majority of their viewers are Marlins fans tonight. They should know that Marlins fans only show themselves until the second half of September? And that's only if the team is in the playoff hunt. They probably won't show up then either... Meanwhile, Z isn't fooling too many of these guys. I do remember their fans showed up in 2003 late in the year. But I can't tell you how many home games they played when they drew less than 20000 fans and sometimes they wouldn't even draw 10000.
  6. I like when our pitchers give up hits to the opposing teams pitchers. It's always nice to see.

  8. So lets go over what we've seen in the first 30 minutes of the telecast. 1. A 2003 reference 2. A Bartman reference 3. Getting reminded that Willis was drafted by the Cubs 4. Another replay of the Derrek Lee injury play I love ESPN.
  9. That happened to me two years in a row. I picked Mark Bellhorn in 2003 over Mark Prior in the middle of the draft. Then I picked Prior as my #1 in 2004. Then I stopped doing fantasy baseball because of it. Poor Derrek Lee.
  10. It's not the homer that's inexcusable. It's the walk to UGGLA that is. Make them hit their way onto base but don't give out free passes.
  11. And now they show that Willis was drafted by the Cubs. I always love being reminded of that.
  12. It's amazing what happens when you throw strikes.
  13. Let's get Guzman warmed up ASAP. He can't do any worse than Z is.
  14. When the telecast started I told my roommate that the over/under on a Bartman reference was 10 minutes. I took under and I won. It's disgusting. I don't think ESPN can have a Cubs game without mentioning it. I think it was during the Cardinals-Cubs Sunday Night Game a ball was fouled off near the seats and sure enough Morgan mentioned Bartman virtually immediately. BTW, I also called the Cabrera home run to my roommate. And I think I'm going to Vegas right now.
  15. Another walk by Z. Wow, that's a surprise.
  16. When the telecast started I told my roommate that the over/under on a Bartman reference was 10 minutes. I took under and I won.
  17. "Come to Babe Ruth Day. The day when you can feel what it's like to beat the Cubs."
  18. Wow, same here! Move aside, school work. Oh, and someone needs to control Karros' haircut. Agreed. I laughed when I saw him.
  19. Thank you to ESPN for not having Joe Morgan announce this game. BTW we already had a World Series drought mention. I didn't see a Bartman mention though.
  20. I got a chuckle out of that one Jon. Thanks. "He's in the lineup because he's the only one who's really hit well against Vargas." Neifi is 3-3 with a double. Hairston is 1-3 with a double and 3 RBIs. I like it.
  21. Pierre Cedeno Lee Ramirez Walker Barrett Murton Jones You know, if everyone is producing as they can, that almost looks like a solid major league lineup. :D We'll have to wait 8-10 weeks to find out. You could bat Cedeno 2nd against lefties and Walker 2nd against righties. I don't care either way as long as Cedeno continues to produce. It's a problem I don't think anybody would mind having. Here's some interesting splits. Cedeno is 1 for 13 against lefties so far this year for a .077 batting average. Against righties this year Cedeno is 19 for 42 for a .452 average. Walker is 1 for 11 against lefties this year for a .091 batting average. He's 19 for 38 against righties for a .500 batting average. So both have ripped righties this year, and neither has hit lefties very well. So it may not matter who's on the mound for the other team. Wow, that is quite surprising. Thank you for that information.
  22. But the CUBS do so much better when Neifi starts at second !! :wink: Team record by starting second baseman CUBS are 7-4 when Walker starts at 2b CUBS are 1-3 when Hairston starts at 2b CUBS are 2-0 when Perez starts at 2b Oh please don't show those stats to Dusty.
  23. Wouldn't they actually be 3-6 after winning their previous game. I may be misinterpreting this stat but I think I'm right. Yes, .... and no. They're 2-4 after a single win. I gotta find a better way to word that. Anyhow.... it breaks down like this..... CUBS are 2-4 when they've won their last game CUBS are 1-1 when they've won their last 2 games CUBS are 0-1 when they've won their last 3 games .... so yes, it does sum to 3-6. I'm sorry for nitpicking. I thought that there was more to it than what I was seeing. I do appreciate the stats though. Keep it up.
