Yes! Cubs Win! Huge win!

In houston, anderson leads off with a double.

Two out!

We discuss a lot of things. No one (ok, almost no one) protested the Dumb Dusty Decisions Threads, so if some people think Lou makes dumb decisions then this thread should be allowed. Furthermore, an attack on a poster about the topics they choose or don't choose to post in is a pretty lame attack.

I'd take a flier on him.

Hopefully, Floyd will hit it hard and in the air to score Theriot.

Griffey is in a lot of pain.

Way to go, Ryan!

Big K there!

Another Cubs Special.

If it stood alone, yes. but coupled with pulling Williams from the rotation at the same time does make it appear a bit suspicious.

Cecil Cooper used to play for the Brewers....conspiracy theorists, anyone?

They're facing Atlanta on the road, so hopefully their road woes continue and Atlanta takes 4 out of 4. fixed

I was under the impression that Kroeger would be a minor league free agent this year.

Pat Forde has an article on the top four teams. Link. I liked this about LSU.

Great idea. Let's eliminate that whole "attack the post not the poster" part of the guidelines. Surely none of us gets upset when someone is...abrasive (is that what we're calling it?). So obviously, since the sole point of the rule is to make sure people don't get their feelings hurt, there's no point in having the rule. I can't wait for the attacks to start flying. But that's just it. Meph rarely attacks the poster. He might phrase his answer in a condescending fashion, but he's not attacking anyone. What happens, is it appears that posters take the condescention as an attack and react to that. But, I've seen few occasions of Meph actually, directly attacking the poster. Vance.... when you get home from school tomorrow, you can walk in the door and say..... "Jenny, when I'm with you, time seems to stand still.", and you'll probably have a very warm and tender evening. Or, you could say..... "Jenny, you've got a face that could stop a clock.", and you'll sleep on the couch. Are ya getting the idea ?? I fully get that, and yes Meph's post are more the latter than the former, but that still doesn't mean he's attacking the poster. He's just attacking the post in a not so nice tone and manner. Is it semantics? Maybe, but it's enough of a difference that he's not breaking the rules of this forum. If I respond to someone, "That's the dumbest idea I've ever heard," I'm attacking the post. If I say, "You're the dumbest poster I've ever encountered," I'm attacking the post. Some may say the first does the same thing, and certainly it's going to cause a lot of anger on the one whose post it is directed, but it's still an attack on the "idea" or the "post" and not the poster himself.

Go Cubs!

LSU is going to have a down game. The offense did against Miss State. I just hope it comes against a La Tech or one of the weaker teams when I think even playing poorly they can still win.

I like Sheets and all, but I'm wishing a rather large blister on his finger right now. I might even call the witch who used to live in the other half of my old duplex and see if she'll do some voo doo or something like that....

I was actually sitting here thinking I could cancel my 1pm hearing, leave after lunch and get there in plenty of time. Then turn around and get home in time to still get a bit of sleep. WTF is wrong with me???!!! I think I'm coming down with a cold or something, I better take the afternoon off. ROAD TRIP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! any other day I would do it, but my boss just gave me something that needs to be done this afternoon If it wasn't a 12-hour drive, I'd be there...RIGHT NOW!

I can't think of any time a double is better than a homerun. As was pointed out, maybe equal in a few scenarios, but never better.

I hope I'm as lucky here as I was back in February....

Damn you people who live close enough to drop everything and go. :redx:

My open house is until 8; anyway we can get a 1-hour rain delay?
