  1. Damn kids all hopped up on goofballs.
  2. I'm pumped. Finally a sporting event I can get excited about, even if it is only a tuneup.
  3. Nah, it's much more simple than that. No conspiracies going on. The fact is Jim and Andy don't have a clue about what is wrong with the Cubs and what needs to be done to fix it. I don't really think Jim and Andy think there is anything wrong. It's just all bad luck. Wow! That might actually be true. It would explain some things. If this is the case, the Cubs may never be a contending team year in and year out. Judging from MacPhail's comments in the herald it's not that far off. Our big problem is "Timely hitting" Hmmm. Who's better at "timely hitting". . . Someone who doesn't suck, or someone who does suck? Someone hitting .300 or someone hitting .200? This is hard. Well, it depends. The .300 hitter could be hitting a "soft .300", a la Todd Walker, which is why we spent the offseason trying to trade him. meanwhile, the .200 hitter might just need a change of scenery, a la Juan Pierre and Jacque Jones. That's why we managed to get them for so cheap this offeseason. Unfortunately, it doesn't appear that they've noticed the scenery yet (maybe Jones has a little bit).
  4. Not that he hasn't been horrendous, but you have to take into account Pierre has Blanco, Perez, Jones (when he was succking) and the pitcher hitting in front of him. Seriously, how many RBI chances has he had?? Funny you should ask.......

  5. Uh. http://search.ebay.com/search/search.dll?from=R40&satitle=cubs+6%2F26 http://search.ebay.com/search/search.dll?from=R40&satitle=cubs+6%2F27 http://search.ebay.com/search/search.dll?from=R40&satitle=cubs+6%2F28 http://search.ebay.com/search/search.dll?from=R40&satitle=cubs+6%2F29
  6. We should trade them Tony Womack. He can play the outfield. He can pinch hit. He can pinch run.
  7. You're here! I figured all of your heads exploded and were splattered in the bleachers... Yep. We'd given up by that point, so while the bunt was horrific, it wasn't a complete catastrophe.
  8. I must say that the NSBB contingent found the bunt amusing, in a "holy crap that was dumb" kind of way
  9. ebay
  10. Let me guess...either brother-in-law or sister-in-law..? "I am your father's brother's nephew's cousin's former roommate."
  11. I would like everyone to know that i started drinking out of the firehouse fire hydrant again yesterday, and we won. Had another drink on my way home today, about 15 minutes ago
  12. Or you can hang out with your fellow NSBBers out in the bleachers.
  13. I see at least one other person here understands the concept of opportunity cost. BBB's excellent post! Fantastic. I love you. Also, well stated, Bruce. LOL! Thank you, twice. Once for the kudos and once for not quoting my novel. :D i originally had, but then I realized how huge it was and edited it.

  15. Something i've noticed about Europe...your plane flights are cheap as hell. I have a flight from London to Berlin, roundtrip, that is booked for like 40 pounds. Yeah, some of them are... especially in advance. Makes for spectacular short-breaks. I think I might have done that London - Berlin myself in the past. Its a lovely city. It's slightly tempered by the fact that transportation to the airports in London is ridiculously expensive.
  16. I still can't believe that he followed up his baserunning blunder by faking like he was going to throw the warmup ball into the bleachers and then tossing it to Pierre to throw.
  17. Whoa. Jones almost got hit in the face by a fan in the RF bleachers: http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/recap?gid=260516116
  18. twenty hot dogs would equal roughly a nickel
  19. and then he fakes the RF bleachers out and doesn't throw them the warmup ball. what an ass
  20. I'm already making plans for South Africa 2010.
  21. It's gonna be totally crazy.
  22. Boumsong got a spot. Also, out of the 4 good young defenders I named (Mexes, Silvestre, Christianval and Zebina), only one got a roster spot. I will now bet against France.
