I have reason to believe that they were split at birth

Looked horrible at the plate. Just slashing away with the bat not even coming close to hitting a damn thing. I know it’s his ML debut, but that was very very sad looking. Here’s to hoping D. Ward isn’t gone long.

feed shows the picture captions only, and it was very amusing to read that the birds were waiting for the game to end so they could eat Brian Bixler.

I figured Micah would hold onto that shiny #67 from spring training. Nothing says ML star like #67.

Soaking in everything Cubs after a week in Cancun, Mexico. A great vacation but very little access to the Cubs. Sprotscenter in spanish (ESPN Deportes) is about 80% soccer, 10% tennis and a combined 10% for all US only sports like NBA and MLB. I would stay up for about an hour watching the sports ticker for the Cubs score. Ofcourse I missed it a few times around. Aside from that I paid for 30 minute blocks of internet use a few times. Glad to see the great homestand, maybe I should go away more often.

Granted it was colder than a well digger’s keester in January, but the Cubs won so that is all that matters.

I’ll be at all 3 games this week in Houston. Anyone else going to be at the game?

Im sure you heard it a thousand times already but I was in Colorado Springs this weekend following the Cubs on my phone. I got home last night at 7pm and went through my DVR watching the games (all three games took about 3.5 hours total) and I noticed the BCB shirt on Sorianos leadoff homer.

Very nice SHAMELESS marketing—-love it.

...for those who haven’t heard, he’s hurting with what’s apparently a hip injury and may not make his next start. I initially read that he had a groin injury, but I guess that wasn’t quite right.

but the strike zone increased significantly after two strikes on both of Wood’s 9th inning strikeouts. Maybe the birds weren’t the only ones in a hurry to eat… ;-)

“Birds swoop over the ballpark in the 7th, waiting for the game to end so they can eat Brian Bixler”....

BTW, WGN showed a bonehead with one of those racist “Horry – Kow” headbands yesterday. Luckily it was quick but I saw him a couple of rows back from the visitor’s dugout. Security needs to take care of those idiots.

Astros SP Shawn Chacon has started 9 games and has not recorded a single decision.

Any word on whether the ESPN gods will let me watch Cubs baseball tonight? Or will I be subjected to ESPNews?

Anyone know who’s blacked out tonight? I’m in Indianapolis.

That was for you…guess I forgot to hit reply…

We are all well aware of Soriano’s recent hot-hitting. Tonight we’ll see a guy who may be even hotter. Berkman is hitting .586 in the last 15 games with a .647 OBP. A commentary in the Houston Chronicle is calling on fans to give Berkman a standing ovation when he comes to his first AB tonight. I like Berkman, but I hope he goes cold this series. Him and Tejada have been devestating lately.
