Apparently, he's been without both his wife and daughter for a big chunk of the summer.
The Dr.‘s were doing a ton of tests, to determine a treatment course for Jada. So he’s been on the road, playing ball, then coming home to Chicago to a empty house. They’re back now from what I hear, and this clutch game winning hit could turn the tide for him.

we had our celebration last year (well not on the field but pretty damn close) in Wrigleyville for the division
lets make it for a ring..
2008 Cubs: Who needs nine innings, when you only need a 7th?
Both play @2:55 p.m. Saturday
CIN vs MIL
CHC vs STL
One day I hope to come up with something worthy of this space.
They play at 8:55pm actually.....

What if we win tomorrow afternoon
and the Brewers win tomorrow night, and the Brewers lose a quick game on Saturday afternoon and we win a 3+ hour game? That should work, no?? Not that it ultimately matters…

2008 Cubs: Who needs nine innings, when you only need a 7th?
I went to both stadiums in July, and I gotta say that Shea is actually better
take the history out of Yankee Stadium, and Shea is better. Neither of the stadiums look pretty. Shea has the open concourse and better food. Plus the new stadium in the background makes it look better.

Think about the week Geo has had.
He got to catch Z’s no hitter and the next day catches a one hitter and today hits a 3 run homer to tie up the game. He’s amazing…just amazing. I can’t wait to see him in person next week.
In person?!?!

Here's a question
We all have opinions on Soto, ARam, Soriano, or even DeRosa for MVP but who do you guys see as the unsung hero that has been contributing but overshadowed by the everyday starters?
Jimmy Edmonds has contributed mightly to this team this year.
And all the other MLB teams thought he was washed up and done. Hendry took a calculated risk, and it payed off big time.

Wow
great game. What a comeback. The Brewers must feel like toast. And speaking of which, I wonder if Ned Yost is enjoying things in an I told you so kind of way? Or maybe he’s just drinking heavily and not paying attention.
Theoretically speaking, but say if the Brewers won the World Series
would they feel inclined to give Yost a ring?

OK
lemme tell you something. First off I think this is the worst umpiring crew in the business. CB punching out Fielder with authority on Monday, Joe West thinks he is God and Rapuano is a moody bastard.
NOW….as I guy who has umped more than half my life I know why Rapuano was so pissed. He was so ready to go home in the 9th that every pitch after that he got more and more angry. FUNNY STUFF.
Sorry to post now but just catching up on the DVR.
"Hey.....Cubs win!!!" ---Harry
"Swung on belted!!!"---Chip
I don't think it's so funny...it's his damn job to umpire baseball games...
which he should know don’t have a time limit. I don’t get to do a half-assed job when I have to work OT…and if I do…I had better be prepared to answer for it.
As I've told you before, I never repeat myself.
by santoswoodenlegs on Sep 18, 2008 6:34 PM CDT up reply actions
Oh I agree....
I just hate being the guy bitching about umpiring. I cannot stand when people bitch balls and strikes. “Where was that” on in game threads is obnoxious.
I just think that this is the absolut worst put together crew….BY FAR. They combination of egos is horrific. The only thing this crew is missing is Froemming.
Maybe the World Series will have West and Froemming down the foul lines. LMAO them running to see a potential homerun. Maybe theyll have Ray Charles in the replay booth.
BAD
"Hey.....Cubs win!!!" ---Harry
"Swung on belted!!!"---Chip
Joe needs to just go stay in Nashville and give up the umpiring thing...
he doesn’t have it anymore. But I’m pretty sure he wouldn’t make a living off his recordings either.
