OT: That dog cloning story gets wierder and wierder
SALT LAKE CITY – A woman who made news around the world when she had five pups cloned from her beloved pit bull Booger looked very familiar to some who saw her picture: She may be the same woman who 31 years earlier was accused of abducting a Mormon missionary in England, handcuffing him to a bed and making him her sex slave.

despite not playin a full season
he is very valuable to this team. They seem to click when he’s in the lineup.
well..
we are argueably the best team in baseball, and we are 1 game below .500 without him, and like 44-15 with him…legit

Maybe you should go all out

i liked how during the pregame, they tried to mock espn for talking about favre too much,
yet, what were the two stories they talked about right after that? Joba and Manny, of course. Pot, meet kettle. And Jeannie Zelasko is hideous.
Must intermingle errands with this game

The Lakeview Baseball Club, which sits across Sheffield Avenue (right-field) from the stadium displays a sign that reads, “Eamus Catuli!” (roughly Latin for “Let’s Go Cubs!”—catuli translating to “whelps”, the nearest Latin equivalent), flanked by a counter demonstrating the Cubs’ long legacy of futility. The counter is labeled “AC,” for “Anno Catuli,” or “In the Year of the Cubs.” The first two digits indicate the number of years since the Cubs’ last division championship as of the end of the previous season (2007), the next two digits indicate the number of years since the Cubs’ last trip to the World Series (1945), and the last two digits indicate the number of years since their last World Series win (1908). It is not currently known what the LBC will do if the Cubs reach 100 years without a World Series title.

Fontenot may be the least likely looking home run hitter. He packs a big punch with his 5-foot-8 physique. Where's the power come from?
"I don't know," Fontenot said. "I've always had decent power my whole life. I guess it's bat speed. Timing a little bit. My grown-man strength."

Memo to Cubs hitters: This is Todd Freakin' Wellemeyer.
Of course, he was pitcher of the month in May. What’s up with that?
Z is not impressed!
HOMERUN!

maybe this is the game where
Pujols arm dislocates and goes flying off his body. Wasn’t something like this supposed to happen way before August???

Someone does need to calm Z down
he did seem to have steam coming out of his ears as he was rounding the bases.
I hope he channels that energy productivly on the mound.

That kid is a better analyst than
Dan Plesac.

LOL,
I like Dan - as a person - he’s just an awful announcer.

He seems to over analyze things and he verbalizes every thought
sometimes well placed silence has more impact

It’s nice to have a dream day at Wrigley, but I’m betting most of us wouldn’t like to be in his shoes. Make-a-wish kids don’t get better.

Update, 7 Cardinal hits (3 hrs), 5 Cub hits (2 hrs)...
That’s close to 50% home runs…this is nuts!
