Dopey??!?! You do know you're going to piss Kristian off. http://www.savethefamegame.com

Glaus just hit one about as hard as Bret hits his wife...5-1 Cardinals. :x

Too bad the only one Myers can beat is his wife.

Shrek racked himself on the wall trying to catch that one.

Sit Marmol down and let Lieber get some work if needed.

Hey Hey! Attab boy Aramis!

Damnit. Looks like the only one Myers can beat is his wife.

I'm tempted to switch over to the Blue Jays telecast with all the problems WGN is having today.

Ok, Kosuke. Get this run in!

Sean looked like an indian with war paint.

I'm thinking if it hits his nuts that hard, something is hitting the ground.

Lilly is still cruising along. I'll take a 3-0 victory.

Half-shirts for everyone!

Lee! 2-0!

Fukudome Fukudome!

I'm trying to figure out how that's possible. Most small, non-daily newspapers actually work this way. Obviously there are others in the newsroom, but I am indeed it when it comes to sports (save for one stringer who sends me stuff off and on). Summer's the toughest part of the year when there are very few organized sports going on. Football, basketball and baseball seasons are much easier. Do you end up writing about the local softball leagues or something to fill space? Yep, exactly. My publisher loves seeing the little league baseball coverage in the paper, so I'll spend the first month or two of summer filling nearly my first page with shots of little kids. It's very tedious not actually covering competitive sports, but it sells papers, I guess. I didn't realize you weren't a daily. Summers suck, we've had to come up with all kinds of creative s to fill space since baseball ended. Man, I can only imagine how difficult my job would be if we were a daily. There's no way I could do it all myself. As for summers, they are pretty much terrible. After little league games end after this month, I'm down to writing only features and praying I get some photos sent in from camps and what not. Counting the days til football season now, that's for sure. I don't know how many high schools are in your area, but during that slow time why not preview each of the high school football teams each week. Recap last season, returning starters, etc.

I'm still upset that I can't vote for Jim Sundberg.

I really like that Micah is having some success. He's a great guy.

Based on what I saw in that video, I don't think we'll have to worry about that. The most we have to worry from this guy is his inability to fix our computers when calling in The Geek Squad. He's got a wedding ring on his left hand. Maybe it's just for looks.

Wow. Lilly increased his pitch count from zero to twenty-seven in one inning!

Cedeno + Marshall + Ceda might be enough. Or if the Jays prefer, Marshall and Hill are interchangeable, Ceda could be replaced with any other minor league arm, and Patterson or Murton could swap in for Cedeno.

No runs, but 33 pitches for Litsch. We'll get to him before all is said and done. We just need Lilly to continue to shut them down.

Hey, Fred. Did Ted really get three outs on 0 pitches?

Nice easy inning for Ted.

More bad news for the Cardinals. Link. That can't be good.
