I'll ask again.
Was that Omar Vizquel in the back row in that picture of the 1908 Cubs? I think that was his rookie season.

by Shanghai Badger on Jul 5, 2008 4:36 PM CDT up reply actions
Count on it
He’ll ask Joba if he likes the fact that the Yankees haven’t clogged the bases this year
No doubt.
Just to clarify, they had Orestes on as a color commentator for a game or two, and it was like someone told him right before the first pitch “You know what? No one respects Latin ballplayers. You’ve gotta change that in this one game.” It was odd. Virtually all of my favorite players happen to be Latino….it’s not like there’s a problem here.
Alan Trammell: Assistant (to the) Manager
how did we get
the second run? I know we got the first on on DeRo’s HR.

nope 2-0
let’s not get ahead of ourselves. But the lack of a third run is Theriot’s fault. :-)
THIS IS OUR CENTURY!!
Don't think you can.
Theriot still has minor league options, so you don’t have to designate him – you just assign him.
It's perfectly calibrated so Tony can have three different guys throw strikes 1, 2, and 3 to a batter.
Alan Trammell: Assistant (to the) Manager
than we'l just forget
we mentioned that SS’s name, k?
by halfblindcubbiegirl on Jul 5, 2008 4:35 PM CDT up reply actions
Probably obvious but this is the inning.
We had a runner in scoring position and got nothing. Lilly has Ankiel, Pujols and Glaus coming. Big time pitching needed from Lilly coming up.
Gah. :(
Would have liked to capitalize on that.
Oh well. Let’s hold em.

probably, but OF isn't DeRosa's main position
and I’d rather have his bat in the lineup. Plus, he scored both runs.
Of course, he could have done that at second with Johnson in left instead of Fontenot playing…
