I barely even heard a “whomp” because the noise was so deafening. The crowd was louder than the loud speakers. It reminded me of Tino Martinez’s game 4 2 run homer vs Kim to tie the game in the 9th with the Yankee stadium crowd noise overpowering the loud speakers.
Uribe will have pitched 1 inning over the last 14 days. I hope the bats have enough familiarity with the brewers pen by now to score enough runs early because 2 inning of Uribe trailing in the later innings is bad news. Busch continues to money. Great bounce back from Boyd too.
Probably my favorite cub of the Jim Henry era. During the lovable loser Cubbie era fans cleared the jersey racks for Theriot and Fukudome jerseys over more productive core players like Ramirez and Big Z which baffled me.
Finally had a big offensive break out after their 13 straight playoff games streak of 3 or less runs putting a crooked 4 runs on the scoreboard. Well done.
3/$120 even with deferrals and the ability to walk if you have a great year is better than 4/$120 with a player opt when he’s a year older. I agree with you that the ball park factor might have played a role in his decision. Why didn’t the cubs want to match it is the question I have.
That’s true. And matching Bostons offer would put them at risk of going over the LT either in 2025 or 26 depending on deferrals, something Tom explicitly wants to avoid. I should say he vetoed paying the LT.
