Of course, you have to be positive

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

now that we are down more than one run

maybe the offense will wake up!

Can we go back to old thread and start this inning over?

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?

Uggla pisses me off.

He stunk up the place in the ASG, and then he’s freakin’ gold-glove material here.

no, dont walk him

to set a force up at any base. That just sets up a grand slam.

Our pitching the last two games has allowed a total of 8 hits and three runs....

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

and one run.

What’s wrong with this picture?

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."
