  1. Those last two pitches from Lilly looked bad.
  2. I was at a dixie youth game once, when the umpire called a ball on a pitch that looked to be right down the middle. One of the women sitting in front of me, said "Where the hell was that?" The umpire turned around and told her he would toss her if she used any more ex-plic-a-tives. I started laughing...and he yelled at me, "What's your problem?" I said, "I'm trying to figure out what an explicative is...or did you mean expletive." He told me he'd toss me if I didn't stop lauging. I kept on laughing....he just stared at me. So after every call, I just mocked laughed. You know big ha ha's...and stuff like that. He kept staring at me. He never did toss me, but I know he wanted to.
  3. David Wells was just photographed here. http://www.earthdayenergyfast.org/IMAGES/earth.jpg
  4. Interesting you should say that. I originally had Loe in the mix, but I changed it yesterday (or the day before) based on what ESPN was projecting. on a personal note..... I'm loading this afternoon in Omaha for Dallas. ETA to Texas is tomorrow afternoon. I'll be arriving there tomorrow as well. I'm not sure how much free time I'll have since it's a "family trip." Give me a call, though. I know we're doing "family time" on Saturday and probably most of Sunday. I may be able to get out some on Monday, but I can't say for sure. Sometime during the day (midnight to midnight) on Monday, I have to run over to Garland and deliver this load. If you're a good boy, maybe I'll give you a ride in the big truck !! :wink: Cool! :lol:

  6. McCarthy is on the DL for Texas. I think Cameron Loe is in his spot now.
  7. Yeti took a ball off the face and it didn't phase him. But Cubbies75 is a fellow Mavs fan. I need to wait a bit longer.
  8. Let's simplify things here: Tree gave us the phenomenal Nomar thread, the wonderful heroin in his forehead references, and contributed to the Todd Walker photoshop thread which likely was the best thread ever in the history of message board threads anywhere. Aramis_Fan once claimed to have an AOL conversation with Len saying we had signed Furcal. That also created one of the best threads in the history of message boards. Once everything has been considered, I think the choice is Tree.
  9. Tough one. EJ is a very solid poster. Bhogg is the game thread pimp. Bhogg also is a pretty cool guy as we met in Cooperstown back in 2005. Very tough call....but I'm going to give the gamethread pimp the vote here.
  10. Hoping for another strong outing by Holliman tonight.
  11. CT's dissapearance as he was swallowed up in the world of drunkeness and debauchery called college hurt his chances. Had this vote been held two years ago, the outcome would have been much closer.
  12. Just imagine how "un-clutch" we'd be if we still had Farnsworth.
  13. According to rotoworld, Everett fractured his leg today and will be out 4-6 weeks.
  14. Right now, the Cubs have a four man bench because of the 13-man pitching staff. Beginning Tuesday, the Cubs play six straight in AL parks. With the DH, that would leave us with only 3 players on the bench. My feeling is by Tuesday, we need to exchange a pitcher for a bat. It doesn't look like Ward will be ready by then and Murton has to stay down a minimum of 10 days. So, who will we bring up to be the bat or will we go to Texas with only three players on the bench and a 13-man pitching staff?
  15. Man do we suck at getting runs in situations where it should be simple to score!
