    Molina should feel bad that he couldn't beat that throw from Theriot.
  2. vance_the_cubs_fan
    Tie game!
  3. vance_the_cubs_fan
    I'll take it.

    My dream broadcast booth would be a 3-man tandem of Brennamen, Hrabosky, and Joe Morgan. Brantley can fill in during the middle innings.

    Yadi can go back to hitting below 200 at any time now.

    Grace was 3rd-4th in line until Dawson/Maddux left. Then he was behind Sandberg til he retired. Then he had maybe 2 years of being the most popular Cub before Sosa took over. Mark Grace does not represent the Cubs in any way. I have to agree with SSR. Grace was always second fiddle. At first, he trailed Dawson and Sandberg in poularity, and later Sosa. Grace was a very good player. He's a lot of fans' favorite player, but I don't think he equals jersey retirement. Had he been a HOFer, then yes. He's not HOF quality, and the only Cub who will have his jersey retired that isn't in the Hall is Santo, and we will all agree he is a special case. The next number the Cubs should retire is Sosa. I have no problem with them waiting on that one a bit, but it should be the next in line. After #21, I can't see any on the horizon. Zambrano or Soto may have a case, but much more needs to be done before that happens. But Grace? No. I'd think Sutcliffe would have as strong a case as Grace for having his number retired, and there's no way I think Sut should be considered.

    I asked the wife if I could drive up tomorrow. She said no. If I left right now, I might make it if I drove all night.

    Welcome to the forum. That's a good question. I haven't heard anything about it one way or the other.

    Cruz just missed a second grand slam by about 2 feet.

    Rangers lead the Orioles 15-4. Ian Kinsler has hit for the cycle and Nelson Cruz hit his 5th HR.
  11. vance_the_cubs_fan
    Goes without saying....Geovany Soto.

    I hate that the booed Rusch. As it goes, he was one of the classiest guys around. He wasn't always at his best for the Cubs, but he did come through for us at times and was always willing to take the ball. Plus he had one of the best nicknames on the team.

    How about Hooters Park? Or Pink Taco Field?

    Isn't your son old enough to step in yet? What's the holdup? He doesn't want to catch. He has his eyes set on taking Soriano's job. . . . http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=629003468#/video/video.php?v=67226683468&ref=mf sorry, i'm not smart enough to make a photo link. . . . Where's the hop?

    Both were out. I'm pretty sure Roast was here posting and not working this game. Ahh ok... yea I've only seen the TV shots of Roast that other's have pointed out never really seen him in person. It was a rowdy crowd... he's lucky he wasn't there. Lot's of "tough guy" [expletive] to the ushers when asked to sit down. I never knew so many people out there to have a good time could be such jerks. Yeah, I took the day off because I have a six-hour class that I couldn't miss. My first game will be Friday. And yeah, those 'tough guys' are the biggest hassle on the planet. I'll try not to give you too much trouble this year... 8-[

    Playing this well, he needs a nick-name. Three-fingered Hill anyone?
  17. vance_the_cubs_fan
    Thank Jeebus!

    I bet you are loving Soriano's hot start this year, aren't ya?

    Prime time for the return of the creature!
  21. vance_the_cubs_fan
    Soto going to hit!
  22. vance_the_cubs_fan
    If Joe Morgan ever registers, I'll break out the ban hammer myself.
  23. vance_the_cubs_fan
    At least the warning track power provides a run here.
  24. vance_the_cubs_fan
    I can't believe we escaped with the lead.
  25. vance_the_cubs_fan
    A much better inning for Dempster.
