First Pitch Thread: Cubs vs. Cardinals, Wednesday 9/10, 7:15 CT

"There are millions of people out there ignoring disabilities and accomplishing incredible feats. I learned you can learn to do things differently, but do them just as well. I've learned that it's not the disability that defines you, it's how you deal with the challenges the disability presents you with. And I've learned that we have an obligation to the abilities we DO have, not the disability." -- Jim Abbott

stuck

w/ the cards broadcast of the game and their showing all card comebacks against the cubs. its making me sick to my stomach. the sound must come down.

I know why the team's been suffering through the losing streak...

and here’s the cliff’s notes version.

You see, he’s the Chairman of his own hedge fund : Capital Underwriters Buying/Selling With Impressive Net – CUBSWIN for short.

Due to continued turmoil in the housing/commodities/stock markets, our very own Milton was forced out of the country for an extended period of time to tend to lucrative investments in his vast network of Honduran Pineapple Plantations. Intended only to be a quick trip, Hurricane activity in the Caribbean really delayed his travel plans as he’s been spending the past 7 days in Jamaica overseeing the reconstruction of his other large land holding – Jamaican Coffee Producers.

It’s my understanding that he’s supposed to be back soon, perhaps even tonite, but as you can see, there’s really nothing to worry about.

When your offense is struggling, put the best defense possible on the field to do everything you can to stop the other team from scoring.

Who’sbetter looking Michael Phelps or Josh Phelps?

Here we go again

Looks like 3 more hours of missed opportunities and frustration for this board. Here are the ugly Derek Lee stats for his past 25 games —

1 home run
11 RBIs
7 extra base hits and….
27 strikeouts!!!!!!

Get this guy out of the 3 hole! Do what the Mets did with Delgado – slide him down to 6th and take the pressure of him and maybe it will lead to similar spark.

And where are all the posters who told me Felix Pie would never start!!! I relied on your word :) Why would Pinella ever put a bat in his hand?
