No idea. I had an HP rep at my desk hocking toners

I have faith that the Cubs will come back.

My Mom told me that being a Cubs fan was a great test of faith.

haha, she also didn't tell you...

you are headed for many heart attacks before age 40

by bap on Apr 2, 2008 2:48 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

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.

Prince Fielder HBP

I think he just stuck his belly out

Lilly's day is over...after hitting Fielder

In his defense, that's a HUGE target

Only down 2

I'll take that right now. We need to get Suppan out of the game

FWIW, According to Cory Provis...

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

I dont care about the double switch...

but why take out DeRosa... he's the only one on our team besides Lee and Dome who's had good ABs

by bap on Apr 2, 2008 2:53 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

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?

And step away slowly.

Yep, this thread does seem faster.

The other one was functional, and better than Opending Day, but still slowing my computer significantly.

Kidding, but this is like last year all over again.

by Lou In Blue on Apr 2, 2008 2:54 PM CDT   0 recs

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.

for sure. cant score if you dont get on base. get these bats going

Double Switch?

Fontenot for DeRo? Hart for Lilly?

Correct.

that last year was a bit of a fluke.

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.

Are you saying ...

he is who we though he was?

so far

Poor Matty Murton....

by Keystone80435 on Apr 2, 2008 3:01 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

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.

by Keystone80435 on Apr 2, 2008 3:01 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

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.
