NY Times Sports Section
had a nice blurb on how Dusty screwed up his rotation by using two of his starters for so many innings in that 18 inning game and using them in their usual spots in the rotation 2-3 days later.
Same old Dusty, even if he did keep the pitch counts down (in the next start). Couldn’t he dip into the minors for a start to give his starters an extra day off?

Ballhawk got pulled early... (Damn Lou and his double switches)
Unfortunately I wasn’t around to catch it. Had to leave early and just got home in time to hear the call on the radio. Missed the TV replay, but sounded like it went way out there. No idea who got it. If it was right down the line, probably a passerby. The closer to left-center it was, then probably ballhawk dave.

I think the overflow threads are neccessary
But we could actually use a better transition procedure rather than one random person saying “hey everyone, overflow thread is up, lets all go over there”.
Al, is there some way to have an automatic post in the current thread every 5 minutes stating that the over flow is up? Or some alternative?

um.
My highschool team was the Indians. So, really, I don’t see a major problem with it. Chief Wahoo, maybe. But Chief Illiniwek looks, to me, to be respectful. And I say that as someone who is 1/16th native american, and my wife is 1/8th native american.

I hate to break this to you...
but 1/16th of anything doesn’t make you more qualified or not. How about if that 1/16th of you actually practiced your Native American heritage. Or maybe that 1/8th of your wife’s heritage actively participated in the heritage.
My point is that there are full-blooded American Indians whose lives and culture revolve around these things and for white people to use them for entertainment is just silly. Frankly, I’d love to see a reservation school name itself the Fightin’ Jesus. That would be awesome.
Anyhow…...wrong place, wrong time for the discussion. Go Cubs!

I don’t have a problem with sports teams using the Native American as a mascot, provided it’s done respectfully. After all, in order to be a hunter with a bow and arrow or spear, you gotta be an athlete.

Not all universities can hold great players like Tony Pashos, Matt Sinclair and Eugene Wilson. See, Penn State actually has players who are deemed “failures” or “busts” because of their high expectations; U of I alums are just glad to not be pumping gas(yet).

Johnson pinch hits
for Mighty Mouse. Looks like Ondec will be at 2nd, and Soriano will be pulled in the 9th.

It's every manager's job
to manage expectations. He’s not giggly, to be sure, but by playing it low key he’s also keeping his players’ in check—it’s a long season and anything can and will happen between now and the playoffs. I would be disappointed in Lou if he played it any other way.

Birthday Present
Tomorrow is my birthday and the Cubs have delivered the “perfect” present early (to all of us) with an undefeated homestand.
More history was made today at Wrigley Field: with today’s win sweeping the series from the Rockies and completing the perfect 7-0 homestand the Cubs are 26-8 at home. The last time the Cubs were 26-8 at home to begin a season was the pennant winning year of 1918. April 14-26, 1970 was the last perfect homestand for the Cubs, winning 10 in a row.
So let’s enjoy the ride, since we well know how rarely these sweet things have come along for the Cubs.

5-2 would bring our record on the road to 500 at 15-15.
Also I was thinking today I expect us to get it together on the road but I think homefield in the playoffs could be important so even if we were to clinch the division early getting home field could be key,
