Hello Fellow Cub Fans...
…Let’s get some runs!!! :)
The only stats I care about are the ones on the back of a baseball card
Funny thing
I took in my first Cubs games last week and ran into Sean walking to the Chicago History Museum. I was walking across the street and he was standing near the corner talking to someone sipping on what looked like a iced coffee. I said “Hey, you’re Sean Marshal”. He said “Yep”. I stood and talked to him for about 10 minutes. We talked mostly about where I was from and what I had seen in Chicago up to that point. It was like talking to a friend. He was a great, great guy to talk to. I am a True Sean Marshall fan after that.
He gave me his autograph before a Cubs game at Minute Maid a few years back
in 2006 :)

Question
If the Cubs win the division who would they play in the first round of the playoffs
the wildcard or the team with the worst record?
If this was prison I would shank you.
If the wildcard is from their division, then they play the next team with the worst record.
Otherwise, they play the wildcard.

That depends
If Milwaukee is the wild card, the team with the worst record.
If the wild card comes from another division, then them.

It's tricky
They play the Wild Card unless the WC is from the same division (Which it will be) so they ultimately face the weakest division winner.

Is it just me...
or are those dugouts huge?
If a woman has to choose between catching a fly ball and saving an infant's life, she will choose to save the infant's life without even considering if there are men on base. - Dave Barry
they are tall
if I remember correctly. Remember, the wall height is set for football, so the dugout roof just goes on top of the wall. Around the dugout they have extension of plush seats, making the wall lower
also looks like a lot of room in front of the bench

probably to offset
the distance it takes to get from top of the football wall to the 3-5 foot baseball wall. It can’t be much bigger than modern day dugouts though
Sanchez looks wild.
Sori walks, and The Riot and Jimmy Ballgame give it a ride. Bummer we got nothing out of it.

but obviously it would be better if he didn’t give up any more HR. Even you must have a hard time disagreeing with that.

but I’d be unhappy w/ another Marlin homerun, as I’m sure any other fan would be
My point was
ther is nothing any of us can do about it.

Only when sore...
He had the same thing happen in 2004 — a bunch of throwing errors from 3B because he was trying to play with a sore arm.
BTW, the reason he gave up pitching after HS was because his arm didn’t recover very well after pitching — so having arm problems from time to time is not new for him.

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

He made it to 3rd, but it's an exciting night for Sori on the basepaths tonight.
Is he tempting the fates, or what?

Brenly's technically wrong.
People have stolen first base before – just from second base. It’s not allowed anymore.
Double steal.
Runners on second and third, runner on second breaks for first base, catcher throws him out, runner on third scores. Sometimes the catcher will wise up and conceed the base, but sometimes the excitement gets the best of him.
when was it banned?

Two innings in a row....
Left them loaded this inning, and second and third last inning.
Sanchez deserves to be down by about 4 runs right now.
Sometimes, when pitchers are really wild, it’s hard for the hitters to get into a rhythm.
