Baseball has been very, very good to me.
I've committed to tweeting about the Cubs for the rest of the season. (Does that sound as ridiculous as I think it does?) Anyway, if you're on Twitter, you can follow me here.
Woohoo!
Everyone else does it so I figure why not me?
I have no baseball to watch tonight now. Damnit!

Good quote from Lou in Sullivan's article
“Isn’t that crazy?” Piniella said. "Look, when the wind is blowing out at Wrigley and you can show some bat speed and get the ball up in the pull field, you’re going to get rewarded.
“The biggest problem with the steroid thing is not that the people took steroids. It’s that the people that haven’t get tainted, along with everyone else… And that’s why, truthfully, when they named Alex (Rodriguez), I thought it was unfair. They should’ve named all 103 (players who tested positive in 2003).
"You can observe a lot just by watching." ~ Yogi Berra
I completely agree with Lou
I really wish all the names would come out so we could just get over it.
I said this as well earlier
about how Theriot is likely just showing he knows how to hit at WF. Both his HRs the other day were pop ups that the win carried
baseball is a game of outs......pop out, ground out, line out, pitch out, strike out, fly out, and Fox and Bud's favorite black out
Some of them
maybe “cheap wrigley HRs” but the first couple he hit were bombs.
I just chalked it up to Riot finally pulling the ball occassionally.
But what about the gusy who took
but just weren’t taking at the time of that test? Just because you weren’t found guility doens’t mean you are innocent.
by jerry morales rules on May 15, 2009 1:42 PM CDT up reply actions
but now that theres testing
its a little easier to give them the benifet of the doubt on it.
i’m as jaded as anyone, i pretty much assume everyone’s on something… but i really don’t care.
I guerss I'm saying
that releasing the names has nothing to do with getting over it. It would tarnish those 103 (and break a promise that was made to them) and enhance the rest that arent’ named. But those named could be as guilty as the 103.
by jerry morales rules on May 15, 2009 1:48 PM CDT up reply actions
I think releasing the names
would help us get over it.
from my personal perspective, those 100 someodd names waiting to come out feels like another shoe waiting to drop. Who knows who all is on that list? Could be a bunch of nobodies… but if they are somebodies, its time for them to all come out so that we can start putting Bonds, etc in perspective.
but...
wouldn’t you figure if they were sombodies they would have been leaked at the same time or soon after ARod? I know ARod has a tendency to be a polarizing figure and his always polished and sometimes calculating answers to journalist’s questions may have made him a particularly attractive target, but who’s left? The only real name of significance left that could come out of that list that would be devastating would be Pujols and maybe Big Papi.
I wouldn't be surprised
to find out that the person who leaked A-Rod’s name didn’t have something personal against him.
Maybe it was Guy Ritchie.

OK, I get that
If it’s inevitable, they might as well put it out there and I can see how it gets part of the way.
I’m a big believer that unless people are satisfied that the truth has come out, it won’t go away. I don’t think that naming these 103 names would get to that point. It’s still an open question. Those other guys not on the list still aren’t cleared.

I understand what Telander was trying to say.
As usual, he tried to get too cute and it came off wrong. He’s trying to say that because MLB created the culture that made steroid use fashionable and didn’t do anything to stop it, that ANYONE could be suspected.

Al, Telander has become an arrogant, lazy writer.
He should be fired. Smearing someone like he did, just shows what a lousy writer he has become.
If he can’t make his point more clearly than he did, he should be fired.

Theriot no roids?
Oh, come on. If the writer really is suggesting that because he punched out a few HR’s that he’s on roids, that is ridiculous.
If Theriot hits 50 HR this season, then sure, question him.

Official press release on the rainout
Today’s game between the Chicago Cubs and Houston Astros at Wrigley Field has been postponed due to the forecast for inclement weather throughout the afternoon and evening.
The game has been rescheduled for Thursday, July 30 at 1:20 p.m. The Cubs and Astros were already scheduled to play a three-game series at Wrigley Field July 27-29.
Fans are encouraged to retain their tickets from today’s game until further information is available regarding ticket policies for the July 30 make-up game.
Information regarding ticket policies for the make-up game will be posted on www.cubs.com as soon as it is available.

I guess the issue is...
… that once the gates are opened, people might lose their tickets, they could get ruined in the rain, etc. I suspect season ticket holders will use the “rainout ticket” we got with our season ticket package, for others, who knows?

I sold 29 beers in 3 hours of work.
Yes, they opened the doors today to sell food and drinks. I agree that it is a disservice to the fans.
Cubs have a contemporary history of waiting and waiting and waiting to call games. Sometimes it works, i.e. Wednesday; sometimes it doesn’t, i.e. today, or last year when stands were full and the Tornado sirens went off .
On the southside, they cancelled opening day and missed a 55 deg.F sunny day. However, employees and fans would not have had to go to the park today.

Everyone has to root for Brewers tonight
All thing being more or less equal standings wise so CARDINALS MUST LOSE. Heck I would root for the Brewers even if Brewers were five games behind the Cardinals. For people of my “generation” THE CARDINALS ARE THE EVIL EMPIRE , the Brewers are an AL team that we are playing a whole lot of interleague games against. Damn those monkey schedulers. Do not let them fool you , the Cardinals AND THE METS are the enemy, our divisional rivals, the Brewers have a nice park we can use when the weather is bad.
GO BREW CREW.

I have a hard enough time
rooting for my kid’s team that’s named “Brewers.” I’ll hope for a long, extra-inning game that exhausts both bullpens, so they can split the series, and have the Cards beat up for our games with them.

We shouldn’t root for either team – we should root for short starts, high pitch counts, multiple relievers and extra innings.

I could see Braun getting hit at some point in the series, touching off a whole new Brewers-Cardinals feud. LaRussa is smart enough to lure Macha into one of those.

82 Brew Crew was OK by me
I liked a lot of those guys on the team, like Molitor and Yount and Fingers and (don’t shoot me) Ted Simmons. And if Fingers wasn’t hurt they beat the Cards in the Series.
Eh.
Until the change-over to the NL, the Brewers were my AL team, and the Cubs were my NL team. Once Bud decided that Milwaukee just had to be in the same division as the Cubs, I had a choice to make.
I chose correctly.

Couple of points there
- I moved out of Wisconsin before anybody really achieved “thug” status. We were more concerned about baseball cards at the time.
- Before I moved, I had established my cred by kicking the crap out of the big jackass in school. And got away with it.
I also didn’t live in SE Wisconsin – I probably would have caught some hell for it in high school, but I’m guessing that would have stopped once I started talking Brewers baseball just as well as Cubs baseball. I think I would have been fine, but I really couldn’t say.

There are seven players aged 33 and older who switched teams last winter who have posted an OPS below .750: Orlando Cabrera, David Eckstein, Ramon Hernandez, Edgar Renteria, Jason Giambi, Mark DeRosa and Bobby Abreu.
No home runs.
5 doubles, 1 triple and a bunch of singles.

It’s the new Yankee Stadium logo.

Right.
Why are they allowed that? Or is “They’re the Yankees” sufficient.

I think the Mets have one, too.
And so have a lot of teams that have opened new parks.

I haven't seen the Mets with one.
Just that horrific sleeve patch. Every new stadium gets a patch but I’ve never seen a team with one on the hat like the Yanks have now.

It's still odd they would allow it though
when, IIRC, MLB has bitched about how big the numbers written on a hat to honor a deceased player could be.

Bring back "Name That Cub"
"I knew we were in for a long season when we lined up for the national anthem on opening day and one of my players said, 'Every time I hear that song I have a bad game.'" - Jim Leyland
for those of you
thinking, ‘the game is rained out, i wonder how rocky roquet is doing’
at least his era splits are equal in day games and night games.
maybe ‘or financial considerations’ would make it a good deal.

Theriot’s thing is hamburgers. He eats a lot of Drumsticks. Have you seen those ice cream things? I’ve seen him eat French toast. I just follow him around and try to eat whatever he eats. He’ll occasionally take his shirt off and go in the weight room but he just works beach muscles. It’s not functional stuff that would help you on the baseball field. He goes in there and does bi’s and tri’s and chest, and then checks out his spray tan in the mirror.

All I could find on my HDD recorder...
Good morning, and so sorry I missed the first chance to watch Cubs game this year – postponed, and I was sleeping…
Anyway, I found my HDD recorder wisely keeps short 20min live report from Wrigley, showing rainy field and outside street, today’s lineup, and Dome’s highlight reel and comparison of his stats against last year’s….
Dome’s number comparison above shows ave, HR, RBI and OBP.
Hope I can have next chance…
Just seeing the screencap...
… with the Cubs lineup in Japanese was worth this entire thread.

Ah you are newcomer
It is a double entendre. I am shall we say a BIG fan of Greg )Maddux ( um you could check this out (http://www.bleedcubbieblue.com/2007/2/1/92435/72323). Maddux nick named Mad Dog was known as “doggie” to his
fellow players. Many people on the list assumed that “Doggie Stalker” was only a reference to Maddux but in fact I am OBSESSED with the four legged variety and they are a little easier to stalk. I can’t have one of my own ( not enough space, time or money) but I am notorious for going after everyone I see on the street and I have never been closer than about 6 feet ( warming up once in Spring Training) to the “human” Doggie. Long story but there it is.
Also though Al and I disagree on the circumstances I had my real name, Jessica “stolen” by some poster in the A’s SB blog when BCB became a part of it. She was “grandfathered in” and they insist that no one on the ENTIRE SB Nation of baseball blogs can have the same name.

and so well dressed. I am still in the stone age re posting graphics but if you check out my profile you will see
my previous sig. I kept it for a year but decided to change it. I might put it back though. Maybe rotate new ones in too.
You can never have too many things by or about Maddux.

Okay random question for anyone wandering through..
Why is it bad to call the Cubs the “good guys”?
I was lucky enough to see others make this mistake before I ever had the chance to make it (the advantage of lurking for a long time before ever posting here I guess). I’ve gathered it has something to do with the White Sox, but have no clue what the connection is…
Does anyone care to enlighten me?

Hawk Harrelson
always refers to the White Sox as “the good guys.” Makes my flesh crawl. (And if Pat Hughes did the same thing for the Cubs, it would make me feel the same way.)
by Not Bruce Froemming on May 16, 2009 1:20 AM CDT up reply actions
I guess I can see that..
To me, it seems like a very natural thing for fans to refer to their team as “the good guys”, but would get old quickly if a broadcaster was doing it.
