Let my ashes blow in a beautiful snow from the prevailing 30 mile an hour southwest wind...
When my last remains go flying over the left field wall, I'll bid the bleacher bums adieu,
And I will come to my final resting place, out on Waveland Avenue. --Steve Goodman

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.

I would of liked to see a bit more from Dome/Soto.
But Big Z looked like a stud and we now only have 3 players left to worry about injuries.

I'm being sarcastic
I feel like every national telecast involving one of the three they try to compare them to each other.
I’m sick of hearing how Fukudome is an Ichiro-Matsui hybrid. He’s just not.

It seems to me like the starters are going deeper into the game this year

by nji232 on Jul 15, 2008 9:09 PM CDT 0 recs
I think they try to give the starters 2 AB.
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.

i hate the yanks
but i dig jeter – he’s not overrated. he has like 2 or 3 batting titles, 2400+ hits, 4 rings, gold gloves, 9 all-star games…he’s going to be a hall of famer and deservedly so (oh yeah, .315 career BA)

haha maybe true
but he flipped the ball back to home to get jason giambi’s little brother out at home – which means he is a great defensive player ALLLLL the time lol
