  1. Joe Morgan said that Dunn is very unique because most guys who walk so much don't strike out at all.
  2. I was just going to say that. Mostly 93-94. I saw 95 twice and 96 once. Don't think I saw anything besides fastballs.
  3. Hooray! I'm so happy that they made stupid Endy Chavez go away so he could play.
  4. Adam Dunn is my favorite non-Cub, non-A's, non-Terrmel, non-Mercker player.
  5. One True Outcome: Failure Catcher--Brad Ausmus First Base--Darin Erstad Second Base--Jose Castillo Third Base--Brandon Inge Shortstop--Cristian Guzman Left Field--Randy Winn Center Field--Tike Redman Right Field--Terrence Long Pitcher 1--Brian Anderson Pitcher 2--Dewon Brazelton
  6. HOORAY FOR THE RETURN OF ANDI and wow you like mitch hedberg. fair play to the di.
  7. The bottom line on espn is scrolling that Wood and Prior are each out for the season opening series, which isn't really news since Dusty said he was messing with the rotation a couple days ago. But when I read it, I saw Wood and Prior are each out for the season and then I screamed and passed out on the floor.

  9. tim told me that me and imb tied for second sadly there was no prize for us
  10. I figured I might as well get another game since the first one was so easy, so I went ahead and threw on Sunday the 31st of July.
  11. That's gonna be strange, they aren't playing the DBacks August 26. enjoy the cubs on tv friend
  12. Yay I finally got through! 4 tickets to the July 29 game against the Dbacks. EDITED because I'm a moron and forgot what day it was
  13. Well, I just got here. I'm really not liking my whole "four classes on Fridays which I absolutely cannot skip" schedule right now. If I don't get tickets I'm going to hurt some things.
  14. I honestly remember picking him to sign here in a feeble attempt at the reverse jinx.
  15. Great stuff everyone. Thanks.
  16. Way to finish the half.
  17. I'm watching the game, and I wish my name was Speedy Claxton.
  18. Beard Sauce is hanging in there, check him out.
  19. I hear you. I've been stuck on this number for a while now.
  20. I'd just like to remind you all that IMB and I are still accepting questions for our chat. We've received a couple here, and I've received between 15 and 20 via PM. If you still have one, please go ahead and PM me.
  21. Obviously you havent been a Cub fan long. I am 3rd generation. After the first generation or so, all hope disappears. The 2nd generation brings bitter disappointment and disillusionment. With the 3rd generation comes comedy, acceptance, and understanding the art form. It isnt IF the Cubs will fail so much, as how they will do it. They always amaze and break new ground in this area. Like watching Opera. Great singing and fine music, but the really good part is in the intangible area. Now dont get me wrong, I enjoy a good Cubs victory just like everyone else. I just try to avoid the suicidal lows associated with any kind of hope whatsoever. The "safe" money on the Cubs will always follow Murphy's Law. We were doomed when the first expert picked us to win it all this year. Pessimistic? Perhaps, but Realistic. Life is pain; anyone who tells you different is trying to sell you something. I guess we're just different. As soon as I'm half as negative as you, and do nothing but derive pain from the Cubs, I'll stop being a fan. I don't understand why anyone would want to follow the team if it wasn't fun.
  22. But what about my awesome prediction that you would be as negative as possible and suck as much fun out of following the Cubs as you could?
