lol
He started out well. “A lot of people tell you this country’s best days are behind it. Well don’t listen to them.” But then he went off the rails, talking about a couple citizens in Chicago who did great things but it didn’t have much to do with his original point. He talked a lot about himself and his accomplishments with the public schools. Then he just basically launched into a marketing schpiel as if he was asked, “Why should Chicago go after the Olympics?” instead of, “What is your advice to us graduates?” On top of that, the man confused subject-verb agreement the entire day – “Our children is the future” – and mispronounced words and got other facts wrong (“I’m happy to be here for the 105th Commencement” .... it was the 150th). A lot of us were pretty let down.
Emmott, however, was quite enjoyable. He’s British, so getting to hear that accent and humor is always a plus, and he had a lot of clever things to say, along with good optimism about the future of journalism.

And DeRosa
didn’t stop at 3rd. Again only the computer here but I’ve been complaining about baserunning so I have to give credit to DeRo for scoring from 1st.

I see my absence did the Cubs well. Hopefully might return won’t screw things up—and my Internet won’t go down again.

so i'll be honest w/ all of you
this is the first game i’ve watched since game two of the baltimore series… i needed a break… i knew what was going on, didn’t tune in for the pitch of the sox games (mostly because of meetings… i have a job afterall) however it looks like we both needed a break from each other… it’s good to see them back in form again

Did DeRo really score from first on a double?
We (or at least Lou) know that DeRo is too slow to bat near the top of the order.

Dragon, maybe you can answer this...
is it bad luck, or dishonorable, or even against Japanese stereotypes for Kosuke to be wearing “Fukudome” on his jersey instead of the more standardized “Kosuke,” or is that just an American misconception?

Ichiro is just the special and very unique case….
