If the game’s over by then I’ll cancel it.

Now if someone wanted to say
Cotts sucks… I could go with that. We saw him last year in Cubbie Blue.
What's he running to first for
get your eyes checked!
If it weren't for the gutter, my mind would be homeless.
no, no...
that’s a STRIKE, Michaels. You have to go back and bat again.
"That’s the great thing about baseball, you never know what’s going to happen till you get the final out." — Lou Piniella
and then he suffers the indignity of the Theriot double-clutch.
I love to play baseball. I'm a baseball player. I've always been a baseball player. I'm still a baseball player. That's who I am. - Ryne Sandberg
Umpires hate that.
Michaels probably lost the next close call he gets.
Thanks to Cotts for the ground ball ending the inning.
"That's my opinion and if you don't like it, well, I have others." ~ Groucho Marx
And, knowing that, he has to protect more
So he maybe chases that 3-2 pitch to ground out.

Theriot with the double-clutch…as usual
Cotts makes me nervous.
hes the only guy in the pen i really don’t trust.
and lou doesn’t know how to use a loogy anyway so why do we have to have the token lefty.

worst part of a potential bradley injury
is it keeps Dome in the lineup. I can’t wait for Dome to hit the bench for good. It isn’t just the stats – Reed Johnson is pure energy, Dome is sleepwalking out there. It will change whole dynamic of lineup.

how/when is the decision
to launch “overflow” threads made and based on what criteria? is there anyway to predict precisely when an “overflow” thread will be born? wouldn’t it be easier and more predictable to number the posts in the thread and say post # 501 (eg) will automatically spawn an “overflow” thread?? or no??
Al is the one
who picks the times that new game threads will be posted. When he is at the games he has them automatically post at certain times. Since he has been doing this I don’t really see a problem.
