How does the weather look ballhawk?
"I'm not much of a chemistry guy, you know. Chemistry to me is a pinch-hit double with the bases loaded"--Jim Frey, Chicago Tribune, 1985.
Got that out of the way
Yeah Ball hawk how does the weather look
If the world didn't suck we would all fall off.
Aramis Out Of The Line-Up
Anybody know what Aramis isn’t in the line-up today? Doesn’t look like we’re playing anyway, but still…
One day, the dream will come true.
Sore back
Sounds like mainly precautionary since the weather is crappy.

I will guess its a sore back
but I could be wrong :=)
Friendship is like peeing on yourself: everyone can see it, but only you get the warm feeling that it brings.
Let's call the game already and give Soto and Milton an extra day to rest up and heal
"I'm not much of a chemistry guy, you know. Chemistry to me is a pinch-hit double with the bases loaded"--Jim Frey, Chicago Tribune, 1985.
Len and Bob said
there will be a delay but they will get the game in today.
when asked about his performance against the Reds - Lieber said the following
"Well obviously I made some bad pitches today, left to many over the plate and they got good wood on the ball. The only good thing was that I was able to get back into the clubhouse earlier then I planned so I could eat."
Whenever I see Theodore Roosevelt
I keep seeing Roosevelt Brown.
In that case lets fill the time by
Discussing how long we are going to give the Cubs an opportunity to have an opening day
If the world didn't suck we would all fall off.
Rain
Radar shows the rain is mostly through. Should definitely start the game soon.
Now this is an interesting lineup
Soriano
Theriot
Fukudome
Lee
Fontenot
Johnson
Miles
Hill
Dome’s in right. Johnson in center.
There is no such thing as an ugly female breast
Fontenot's at 3rd
and Miles is at 2B.

Oh, this lineup is full of scrap
"I owe [Dunston] a lot. Nobody would know how good I was at digging balls out of the dirt if it wasn't for him..." -Mark Grace
"If [Ruth] had [called his shot], I would have knocked him down with the next pitch." -Charlie Root
I will scrap my pants
if we score 10 runs today
Friendship is like peeing on yourself: everyone can see it, but only you get the warm feeling that it brings.
It's fate, saying we should not play today
Kinda like like when fate made the skies open up and pour on the first Wrigley night game.
"Every player should be accorded the privilege of at least one season with the Chicago Cubs. That's baseball as it should be played--in God's own sunshine. And that's really living."--Alvin Dark
The rain during the first night game wasn't fate....
It was a warning from the Heavens not to tamper with the sanctity of day games in Wrigley Field. It was ignored. :-)
"I'm not much of a chemistry guy, you know. Chemistry to me is a pinch-hit double with the bases loaded"--Jim Frey, Chicago Tribune, 1985.
Let's play 2!
Ernie would have said it.
(of course it is 70 and sunny here in LA).
"If it's obvious, it's obviously wrong." - a well known stock market guru
Even Ernie might say "1 is enough in this weather"
"I see great things in baseball. It's our game - the American game." - Walt Whitman
that's why I referenced the weather in LA.
…sorry for the crap in Chicago. The Cubs deserve better!

WGN
they want a statue for Ron Santo.

Ron Santo is/was/will always be my favorite Cub.
Passion and strength and inner willpower all rolled into one great person and ballplayer.

Back to Van Halen's "Jump" for the opening music
Always a classic
The Cubs dominated at home last year when that song was played.

There was the small ball approach
hit-and-run fails if you can’t hit, Theriot.

Nice to see the BBs continuing

Although all I can see is gamecast.
Miles
2 ABs so far this year, both with multiple runners on with less than 2 outs. 1 DP ball and one popup. That play cost the game on Friday.
Don’t we have any cheaper spare parts in Des Moines?
Theriot
If I’m not mistaken, that’s his first K of the season. Not bad.
man it's quiet in here...you guys ran everyone off...

wet infield...ball was smashed...Rockies CF'er is FAST...so it wasn't wise to send Dome there.

base paths must be slicker than they look
