I think this blog uses wiki-like formatting...
So if you start lines with certain characters you get weird behavior
For example- lines beginning with pound signs turn into ordered lists
- I’m sure those infamous grey boxes are related to this as well, but I’ve never figured out how to get them.
Ahhhhh...
That explains it….I get popups sometimes asking to show wiki things…

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?
Let go cubs
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.

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.

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

Nice Cub win. Let’s hope Marquis can beat Estes. A complete rag-arm pitcher (but a “great story”).
As we all remember, he got us a huge win (after like 7 losses in a row) in September 2003. But that was then…
i forgot about that
it was a 4 hit, complete game shutout correct?
and then he was left off the playoff roster for Juan Cruz
Morning laugh.
Courtesy of Carlos Zambrano.
Great victory. 4th big one in a row. And first place too!

as a Rockies fan I’d like to thank the Cubs for beating them Padres after they took 2 out of 3 games from us Sat & Sun. Congrats to the Cubbies for getting 1st place back from those birds!

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.
