Mine was only off the top of my foot/ankle… Unfortunately, I decided to play a second game the night I did it and after I was done it was waaaay swollen.
Mine was with a baseball (not softball)

Yup...
As I said at the end of the last thread. He’s one bad pitch short of a pretty solid outing. That 0-2 pitch to Lee was a big mistake, and completely changed the outcome of his performance.
And if Edmonds doesn't lose that ball near the track,
he may not have given up anything at all.
This is the worst defensive game the Cubs have played since the ASB, and Jason is their most defense-dependent pitcher. Not good, but I think these guys can really use their day off.

my thoughts exactly [see below]

Win as a team, lose as a team
and KICK BUTT as a TEAM
Love this team!
"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 perhaps a different outcome if Edmonds catches that flyball
"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."
Yeppers.
Marquis only 99 pitches.

My next sig line quote will also be from Lou Piniella, and the first word will be either "Look", or "Listen", followed by a comma.
on what?

I wonder if Lou was going to pull Marquis once Berkman came up either way.
