I heard the stat the other day...

He doesn’t have an error this year.

If misjudging the wall was an error it sure wouldnt be the case.

Remember that unnecessary dive for a ball he had no chance to catch last series at Miller Park?

I don't think MLB can take down the website...

The domain is registered outside of the USA I think, though I’m not sure if the DNS servers are inside or outside of the USA. I’m not sure if they are using P2P or something else.

I used it for the Milwaukee game…but I had to search around for the exact place on the site to get it.

I don’t know much about it, sorry.

Good question, thats why Lou's the manager and we aren't.

I’d hate to make that decision.

Dempster: I think the best is yourself. [ . . .] I think the worst player is D-Lee. I think he bets every time just to bet.

We need to get CC to labor.

It’s a given that CC will be staying in on his current pace.

OT: mlb.tv premium running on Firefox/Silverlight is pretty sweet

1.2Mbps stream, re-size to whatever works for you (or go full-screen), and get the feed from either team. Good $20 spent there.

OT: has anyone else tried to contact mlb.com tonight?

I am blacked out from connecting on my laptop (in Toronto) for some reason, but I can not get through to those butt heads to solve this problem. The phone call always disconnects at the same point in the message so that tells me it is them, not me. What a-holes!!

At this point, I am just listening to Pat & Ron…could be worse.

Go Cubs!!
