I have faith that the Cubs will come back.
My Mom told me that being a Cubs fan was a great test of faith.

She didn't tell me about the heart attacks,
but she did tell me that it was great going to a WS game (in 1938), and she was sure I would get the same chance some day.

Lilly's day is over...after hitting Fielder
In his defense, that's a HUGE target

FWIW, According to Cory Provis...
Lou said Z was going to be pulled after the (I forget, so insert #) inning anyways.

Did Piniella just do a double switch
in the 5th inning? What is he smoking?

I don't get it either.
Unless maybe it's a "speed" thing? Perhaps Lou is finally going to start having guys run on Kendall?

Yep, this thread does seem faster.
The other one was functional, and better than Opending Day, but still slowing my computer significantly.

Um...I like the dramatic as much as the next guy...
but it's time to stop playing grab-ass and start pitching and hitting.

Hopefully this tempers all of our excitment for this season. I am just slowly waiting to see who gets blamed frist seeing that all of our scapegoats are now gone.

What I don't get is how we go through
an entire spring training without realizing that 1)theriot's not a lead-off man 2)Soriano isn't a #2 hitter (brutal) and 3)Pie is basically an autmatic out
by bluekoolaide on Apr 2, 2008 2:57 PM CDT 0 recs
Don't forget that...
we're playing the brewers...one of the best hitting teams in all of baseball.

Pie...
...is getting himself out, swung at a terrible pitch.

This is why...
i dont know why Al and MANY fans here have supported Pie. Pie has absolutely zero plate discipline. It is a huge problem.

I third that.
Yes I know that doesn't make sense, but neither does Lou as our manager. BB and Trammell would be much better options in my opinion. They should have "Able to Formulate a Cohesive sentence in less than a minute" on their manager applications (yes b/c there are manager apps). Ok, That's my rant for the day. GO Cubs.
