I thought about my actions before I clicked "POST"

and decided that there are no such things as curses, jinxes, or anything greater than a 0% chance that the Brewers or Cubs players are reading my BCB posts, on their edge of their seats, waiting to see what I say next.

Really?

The Matrix recycles a lot of pretty common sci-fi tropes (not that that’s a bad thing!) Dark City did a much more thoughtful presentation of the basic idea. Great, great movie.

How the HELL did I know you would mention DC

I’m so die-hard Matrix Trilogy, it dawned on me I had not see DC. Bought it bout 2 weeks ago, haven’t watched it yet.

I don't know.

Maybe it’s my copy of the Star Trek: Next Generation Technical Manual. Or the fact that I own all five seasons of Babylon 5 on DVD. Probably something along those lines.

Dark City was awsome...and it had Jennifer Connelly in it too...

But The Matrix was groundbreaking in its own way.

It started out with a bloop single that Edwards misplayed into a man at second.

Kerry walked the next batter. Then, on a bunt attempt, DLee threw out the man at third. Unfortunately, Kerry walked the next guy to load the bases. The critical play occurred when the next man hit a grounder up the middle that Cedeno could have turned two and gotten us out of the game but he booted it. Two runs scored and the next man up singled (only solid hit of the inning) and the game was over.

Why are you defending him to a fault?

He fucked up. It happens, but I’ve watched the replay almost 10 times now, and like I said he was too worried about getting the DP than actually fielding it first. He is a better fielder than Theriot ,hands down, but I’m telling you 9 times out of 10 Theriot even makes that play. But this is why Cedeno rides the bench mostly, his mental errors. Edmonds, Cedeno, and Wood all cost us in the 9th but we also left a lot of guys on base. We lost, onward.

let's blame Brenly as he declared that the 5 days

off did not hurt Woody’s control after the first 4 pitches and he was 2-2 on the batter. Karma strikes back. That was like the Cincy radio announcers raving about how much Harang throws inside and he had gone 149 innings before today and never hit anyone…oops.

You gotta blame someone right?

THIS IS OUR CENTURY!!
