good thing you said JFK
since there’s certain Admirals “club” here in chicago…
...or so i’ve heard
Lou Brown: "My kinda team, Charlie, my kinda team..."
listening to game. I can't watch it on MLB. the feed is too choppy
are you watching the Houston or WGN feed?
THIS IS OUR CENTURY!!
this is baseball hell at the Admiral's Club at JFK
on one TV is the Mets and the other TV the Yankees. I could vomit.
I am jealous. This mlb/tv package is worth “sheet” the feed never streams well on the road. too choppy.
THIS IS OUR CENTURY!!
That's what I have to live with every day--aaaaaargh!

No, we don't need anymore starters
plus he’s too valuable in his role as it
"Prince Fielder Dies Of Inside-The-Park Homerun" - The Onion
well
He started out as a started, so I believe that he has the stamina to be placed into the rotation. As a starter in 2006, Marmol posted during 11 a 3-2 record with a 2.33 era and 10.40 K/9 innings.
How good relief pitchers are, I believe, is overrated and can easily find replacements lingering around in the minors. Even top relief men can be up and down throughout their careers (besides closers, the very best of the relief pitchers).
So, I feel, it would be beneficial to have 200 innings of Marmol than 100 innings.

My point earlier revolved around the fact that.....
Lilly is a deceiving pitcher. He keeps hitters off balance, and pitches on placement not power. When hitters figure him out, usually after 2 at bats, they make him pay. That is why I felt that getting 6 shutout from him tonight should have been enough.
True.

OT: If anybody wants a laugh
Tune to Telemundo (Ch.44 in Chicago), and watch this soap. My fiancee made me switch over from the game. This is absolutely amazing.
One day I hope to come up with something worthy of this space.

I'd be happy with
a walk or single from the guy. ANYTHING positive @ the plate.
i know this is just one game
but i think winning this game would set a great tone for the second half of the season (coupled with a stl loss)
and the brewers
getting lit up by the ever-scary giants

btw....i've heard awesome things about jump around between the 3rd and 4th quarter
is it as cool as everyone says?
Jump Around literary... can rock the stadium.
they even play it @ a few of the bars. Kinda funny to see college kids get up and jump around.

It's a complicated story
full of intrigue, murder, deceit, drugs, prostitution and plastic surgery. The fiancee won’t allow anything else on TV between 9 and 10 p.m., even as her Spanish is limited.
One day I hope to come up with something worthy of this space.
No priests in this one

That could be very cold.
I think when Sori is back, he will get moved down to the bottom until he can figure it out and readjust to the pitchers. He is doing no good right now.
that looked really good

Not the start you’d expect in Houston. Against Mohler.
