  1. Now's the time where Eyre gets out of this unscathed. It's been that kind of game.
  2. No, even Dusty wouldn't have hit and run with Barrett and Jacque.
  3. Piniella overmanaging like it's 1999! Please get Steak Tree, Howry.
  4. Damnit. Lou is going to wear out a path from the dugout to the mound.
  5. Yeah, they're going to run out of Bears to do the stretch. Who's next, long snapper Patrick Mannelly? Have they gone through the draftees yet? No. It's just a matter of time before they get Greg Olsen. It would be cool if he got the 7th Floor Crew to join him.

  7. I hate Jane Eyre. Also, Lou, the 6th is way too early to be going to a defensive replacement when you are only up by 1.
  8. Heh. Bobby Fischer is a complete lunatic.
  9. Way to take one for the team, Jock. And I like how you didn't let it phase you.
  10. http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=2861194 How does lying and saying it was his back instead of his elbow give him more time? More time for what? I don't understand.Just a guess, but I'm betting that he was hoping that the elbow pain would be temporary, so he lied about it to explain Ryan's absence hoping that he'd get better and nobody would ever know. I suppose letting it known that your big closer acquisition from a year ago has elbow problems makes you look bad and might detract from the typical feel-good aura of a new season. I can see why organizations might be conservative when it comes to communicating injuries to the public ("he's got minor elbow discomfort"), but outright lying about it? I don't see how that benefits you.
  11. Given all of the hullabaloo in the recent past about the Cubs not being up front with injuries, I found this very interesting... http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=2861194
  12. I have to admit that after Neifi was traded, I was concerned that the Cubs might not find a proper hate replacement; but Cesar has filled that role quite capably.
  13. It's a skill more Cub players need to work on. Suggested drills? It's one thing to point out a problem, but it's another to suggest a solution. Maybe they can bring in Andy Pratt to work with these guys. But hey, I'm just a civilian.

  15. ARam likes to hit against his former team.
