What happend the top of the 4th

According to yahoo there were 4 outs

- A. Gonzalez singled to right
- K. Kouzmanoff grounded out to third, A. Gonzalez out at second
- K. Greene struck out looking
- S. Hairston struck out swinging

I think this blog uses wiki-like formatting...

So if you start lines with certain characters you get weird behavior

For example
  1. lines beginning with pound signs turn into ordered lists
  2. I’m sure those infamous grey boxes are related to this as well, but I’ve never figured out how to get them.

can someone answer this for me

I know that when they started playing night games that they are only allowed a certain amount but does it state when they have to be played?

We have always heard how the players wear out in the heat of the summer, so why have night games in april and may when its 40 outside and not have more in july and august when its hotter?

Is it an agreement with the neighborhood or the city?

They can't play night games on Friday or Saturday.

I think the agreement is with the city of behalf of the neighborhood.

Also... summer weekday attendance is always good in afternoons

Because kids are out from school, and families are vacationing, and people take days off of work to enjoy summer.

Hence, weekday evening games in the non-summer months will draw better than say a Tuesday afternoon in April.

I’m upset you even know about Braun. But in his case his offense is worth his bad defense. Not the case with Cub SS. And if you think ONEDEC will play out of his mind all year then forget it.

The premium is $119 per year. It’s a decent picture, gets better every year. It has its issues at times but overalll, I’m pleased with it.

Have you thought about subscribing to XM?

They have all of the home broadcasts and it’s fun to listen to different broadcast teams. I love Tom Hamilton’s calls for the Indians! They also have a talk channel devoted to baseball year round that is fantastic. The morning show is the best.

by TXCub on May 12, 2008 9:20 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

Personally...

I think Cedeno has more tools and a chance to develop into a very good player, whereas Theriot is at or very near his ceiling as a player.

by PrincetonCubs on May 12, 2008 9:27 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

Because

Theriot isn’t going to get any better, while Cedeno still can. Theriot is 4 years older than Cedeno. 4 years ago Theriot was at Class A Dayton.

thanks but

I prefer to win now, with the guy who has proven he can compete. Cedeno by all means belongs on the big club, but Theriot has done nothing to lose the job, Cedeno’s done nothing consistently to win it

by PrincetonCubs on May 12, 2008 9:30 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

But if you have 2 guys who are about equal, why not play the one with the upside? Play for now AND the future

Molina took all of his catching gear off in front of the plate umpire and told him to catch. LaRussa kept jawing and then got the heave-ho.

For those of here in the southernmost corner

of the US…..and chained to the Cox Cable/Padres TV version of tonight’s game…..and stuck with Matt Vasgergian, who was rather subdued tonight, thankfully…his ‘color’ man, former Cub/Padre/Brave/Giant Mark Grant did a very passable Pat Hughes imitation…I usually try to mute anything those two say, but I actually found his take on Hughes….very funny.

Grant, a native Chicagoan (who would KILL to work for the Cubs) admitted he listens to XM baseball, especially when the Cubs are on just to listen to Hughes & Santo, just because he enjoys them so much.

And, before we get too giddy—the Padres haven’t lost a series @ Wrigley since 1999.
Please, three out of four….please…..
