Let my ashes blow in a beautiful snow from the prevailing 30 mile an hour southwest wind...

Well, the Cubs catcher...
Didn’t have a good day. 0-2 and one stolen base against.
Think of how stupid the average person is, and remember, half of them are stupider than that!

2 stolen bases
One was a HUGE jump off Sheets, one Utley was late covering second.

But Big Z looked like a stud and we now only have 3 players left to worry about injuries.

When your team only has 3-4 AB an inning, they’ll go deeper I guess.

Dome interviewed right after his at bats
What he said roughly was;
- Great atmosphere, great players around
- Bad result, as I am not very good recently
- my first hit in ASG should be next year, want to try all my best to be selected again
- All of my effort in the rest of this year is dedicated to Cubs win.

Question
How does it work with owners getting inducted into the Hall? Do they have to wait a certain number of years after they have sold the team before going in? Doesn’t seem too fair if that is required as I would imagine a lot of owners die while still owning the team.

Steinbrenner was a great owner.
That doesn’t make him a good person, or even necessarily good for baseball. But he has left his mark all over baseball, and the sport would be very, very different without him. That’s my standard for non-players to get into the Hall of Fame.

And also, he is a really generous human being…he has left his mark all over Tampa with his charitable work.

It's also probably more difficult to make a good throw with a pitcher you aren't used to...
like the pitch may come in slower, or at a slightly different angle…that would seem to affect the catcher’s ability to catch someone stealing.

Small-ball is generally considered things like...
...bunting for a base hit, situational hitting, hit and runs, stolen bases – all that stuff that people do when they aren’t any good at baseball.
Big dumb sluggers take walks because they don’t swing at bad pitches. Small ball players lack the discipline to be big dumb sluggers.

Nationals had to send someone.
That’s a faulty argument. We can’t help we’ve got the bar-none worst team in the majors.

I'd take the Mariners over the Nationals any day.
The Mariners at least have some pitching and Ichiro.

Mariano Rivera just showed yet another example why he will go down as the greatest closer all-time in major league baseball. In his late 30’s and he is still ridiculous in big game situations.

I would say that was more bad managing on Hurdle
Hit and Run was the the NL’s fault, not the result of Rivera

He struck out Ryan Ludwick.
While I agree Rivera is the best ever, this is not exactly a difficult feat.

Why Ludwick.....
he was a AAA all star last year…or was it the year before….all the more why II carp and gripe when he gets “key” RBI’s against the Cubs….
The best defense is a good offense

God, I hope Demp can hold them.
I don’t like him coming in after pitching serious innings on Sunday.

Not worried about hold'enem....
More worried bout what pitching today after pitching 123 Sunday might do to the arm…....
Yes…I realize….he could now wait 5+ days to make next start….
