"Every team will win 60 games, every team will lose 60 games, it's what the team does in the other 42 games that decides the season."
Let's hope this
is the lucky thread.
Good luck Shawn Johnson, Lolo Jones and Doug Schwab. Bring home the gold!!!
Time to turn it up a notch
"Every team will win 60 games, every team will lose 60 games, it's what the team does in the other 42 games that decides the season."
I'm positively thinking

Of course, you have to be positive
The alternative is unacceptable, although you do have to be realistic.

reds up 3-0 and rallying in the 6th
that’s positive
Can we go back to old thread and start this inning over?
"Every team will win 60 games, every team will lose 60 games, it's what the team does in the other 42 games that decides the season."
Only if we're playing the Cleveland Spiders.

Anyone up in the BP?
"I don’t believe that things go your way," said Lou Piniella, the Cubs manager.
"I believe you make things go your way."
Whew ...that was close
"I don’t believe that things go your way," said Lou Piniella, the Cubs manager.
"I believe you make things go your way."
Now strike him out
"I don’t believe that things go your way," said Lou Piniella, the Cubs manager.
"I believe you make things go your way."
I almost cursed and had a heart attack.
That foul was hammered

you can jack a foul ball homerun
but Demp will just turn around and strike your ass out… :)

The Marlins PA played goat noises last night
"Every team will win 60 games, every team will lose 60 games, it's what the team does in the other 42 games that decides the season."
and the "Chicken Dance" on intentional walks
"Every team will win 60 games, every team will lose 60 games, it's what the team does in the other 42 games that decides the season."
definintely a
technical balk.

They did that Friday also...
Did they have a team photo of the 1908 Cubs along with a goat behind the lineup photos last night also? Classy bunch, those Marlins.
Can you hear them heckling Uggla about his AS game?
"I don’t believe that things go your way," said Lou Piniella, the Cubs manager.
"I believe you make things go your way."
Uggla pisses me off.
He stunk up the place in the ASG, and then he’s freakin’ gold-glove material here.

One more Demp !!

Tell your boy to make the 3rd out
"I don’t believe that things go your way," said Lou Piniella, the Cubs manager.
"I believe you make things go your way."
no, dont walk him
to set a force up at any base. That just sets up a grand slam.

And we’ve gotten twelve hits, beaucoup walks, a hit batsman….
and one run.

Like he and Lincecum were in the same Senior HS class photo :)
From the NYT today, a quote from DeRosa about Demp next year:
"I hope he stays, because his decision will impact other people’s decisions on whether they want to play here — because they enjoy being around him so much," DeRosa said. "He’s one of the driving forces behind our chemistry. To take him out of the clubhouse would cause a huge rift."
