Preemptive EA pic because I won't be in the gamethreads tonight!
As I've told you before, I never repeat myself.

I know im gonna get bashed for this
but whats the deal with Erin Andrews and Hoffpauir? My luck I missed something, are they dating or does he think she is so damn hot like every guy in the world?
It started as a joke in Sprong Training
Post an EA pic when Hoff was at bat, and he’d do well at the plate. Well…he made the 25 man roster.
Wished it’d worked tonight.

Hoff
was not in the game when the pic was posted, that may have been our downfall today

For the first ime in 23 years,
the Cubs opened the season without anyone on the disabled list.

Season is already opened. The statement is in past tense. Whew….

Stupidity of blackout rules (example 1 billion)....
So here in Des Moines the stupif cable company won’t get Comcast Sports Chicago and instead gives us Fox Sports Midwest…….gag, Deadbirds, gag……the cable company promotes it like DSM is stuffed with Cardinal fans even though we are the Cubs minor league town….tonight the Cardinal-Pirate game is for some reason blacked out from the local feed of Fox Sports Midwest. with poker on instead….so if they can’t show the dumb Cards why not just get the Cubs? These blackout rules kill baseball and are inane….

I dislike time more and more every time I see him pitch.

Don’t know if he could be a bigger douche. Good news is that as well as he’s throwing, all of my indicators tell me he’s going to have a down year. Just a bad fit for that ballpark. He gets bailed out by the lefties in that division, but he’s still not going to be a top-tier guy.

Kinda like...
Muy Muerte and nada mucho
The best defense is a good offense.....Lou Pinella...still hasn't managed the Cubs to a post season win. D. Lee still doesn't have a post seasson RBI for Cubs...ditto for Soriano
Gregg got the gb needed
just not where it needed to be

Sure...
that wasn’t actually lack of defensive range on the infielders…..
I prefer….* LACK OF HITTING*

broken bat hit
cant do anything about that…
He's NOT a *winner*
Not anyone you’d want to count on come playoff time….

Not going to win many scorring only 2
…I see that taking walks was a 1 year anomoly last year….and Kevin Gregg is a MAJOR downgrade from Wood at “the closer”……saw him look like LaTroy all last year down here is So. FLA……

I really hope
you aren’t basing that off one game. I recall Wood giving up 3 in his first outing and Gregg got a save. So based on one game I can say Gregg > Wood. Also Gregg has more saves than Wood did in two games so again I can say Gregg > Wood.
Pleeezzzzuhhh....
I’m basing it off watching HIM last year on FSN Florida/Sunshine/whatever else other “I’m so lucky to have as ‘my local team’”….and Wood…over the last 10 years…..
I’ll buy you a steak at Ruth’s Chris …..looking at how to evaluate this “fairly” and….if I’m right (which I hope I’m not) ….what are you going to….

Hey, guys...
Where were you for the Overflow Threads?

Best part of a loss?
D-Lee’s RBI single in the 3rd.
Over the heart of the plate pitch and he didn’t try to pull it. Kept his hands back a bit and drove a solid single into R/CF. That’s the D-Lee I want to see for some 150-155 games this year!
Sweet Lou for Mayor in '11.
when will Gameboard reach base?
