When he basically called Sosa a cheater after the corked bat thing …

and maybe we can hold the fort down the rest of the way….keep the lead, keep momentum….
I'd like the 1, 2, 3..
to save on his pitch count.. but either way no runs going up would be perfect!!

Mike Piazza is a likable guy? the most likable superstar? Are you serious, Thom? I thought he was a smug jerk.
And the whole Piazza-Clemens thing?
Alan Trammell: Assistant (to the) Manager
Don't know
Several years back (during Piazza’s prime with the Mets), Skip Caray had an interesting comment on a Braves broadcast: (paraphrase) “You have to like Piazza. He’s just one of the guys. No entourage, no PR guy, he’s just one of the guys. Does interviews willingly, always willing to talk after a loss or a bad game. A true professional.”
While that might have been a bit hyperbolic considering the Bonds entourage at that time, it still says something about him.

anyone know whats up with that?
there is this crap with MLB.COM
about your username being associated with a specific IP address. When you move to a different location, you now get blocked by mlb.com. It is crap and false advertising as they sell the product for “watch it away from home” but they block you when you leave home.
Unless you are on a laptop with a wireless 3G card all the time, you will have this problem whenever you try to log in away from your base. It is BS!!

Doesnt happen to me
I thought his problem might be that his work blocks video streams, or any sports related traffic.

It is a problem that I have had for 45 days, but I got tired of paying
Internet charges in hotels, so I got one of those 3G wireless cards and I don’t have the mlb.com freeze out any more.
How do you connect to the Internet for MLB from different locations?
THIS IS OUR CENTURY!!
wifi
i work at an enterprise rent a car inside of a car dealership…..use their free wifi there and then just my internet here
and the other thing is it was working for a while and then this last week is when it started to black out
Would you know if there are any specials going on right now from Enterprise? Thanks!

Usually hotel Internet
sometimes WiFi hotspots.
Maybe I’m given a pass because I’m international, so blackouts don’t apply to me anyway.

Any reason
why you think that? I’m curious if there are any signs of fatigue you’ve seen or heard about.
I have him in my fantasy baseball league. He has been great so far and may need to trade him before any potential injuries.
by Dome is my home-ay on Jun 28, 2008 4:57 PM CDT up reply actions
No, just a gut feeling
He’s thrown heavy innings the last few times out. A CG last time. Just feels like he’s due for a blister or a pulled oblique or something. Its sad though, because he’s a great pitcher when healthy.

he's learning how to pitch

Good job Gally!!! He has kept us in the game at least....not perfect but then again he is 22....
Get this kid around 10 runs!!! I want a crooked number on the board NOW!!!!!
I really like Gallagher but I still don't consider him
an untouchable.
Go All In and Enjoy The Ride.
not at all
i say the same thing about fonte…...like the guy, but if it helped us get cc i’d deal him
DeRo is hitting everything hard now,
but he’s still pulling everything. He needs to re-introduce himself to the right side of the diamond.

ozzie said if he parted ways with the sox that he would be open to managing the cubs…..next thing you’re gonna tell me is jim edmonds will be a cub, oh wait
Depends on if Zell keeps the Cubs
He and Ozzie have the same vocabulary, so there wouldn’t be any communication issues.

Gallagher has 120 pitches
and he’s going to have to pitch in 5 days—no off-day in there. I’m not sure I like this.
"I've never complained about it. I'm thankful to have a jersey." Mark DeRosa, 22 Aug 2007
He had seven days of rest before this start
so he can be extended a little bit. I’d say he probably won’t pitch in the seventh, however.
I think Lou knows what he’s doing, unlike some other previous Cubs managers.

how about that car commercial
u know the original owner is coming back for the car now that it’s running…..i’ve got the car title punk!
Luck doeessn't matter....
bottom line is the Sox now have MORE runs than the Cubs…and that sucks
The best defense is a good offense
Take the f'en bat off your shoulder.....
3 things really irritate me….
Looking k’s
Pitchers who can’t find the strike zone
And RUNNERS LEFT ON BASE….
Cubs are getting back to their bad habits
The best defense is a good offense
WAIT ..OH YEA....
the sox learned something last weekend…and the Cubs failed to adjust….
The best defense is a good offense
lets not forget
we are doing this without rj, big z, sori, eyre…..
if we do go through a slump right now, it won’t be “the skys falling”
i think this is gonna be the tone of al’s recap
Trouble is.....
Shakey starting staff minus Z outta that equation….joke of a starting staff
Soriano “a joke leaddoff hitter”....me not thinks so…..look at ccub record w/ vs. w/o Soriano.
There’s no sliding thru a championship season….complacency will bury you.
The best defense is a good offense
Santo's socks...
Ron was traded December 1973 and so played an inconsequential year with the Sox in ‘74.
