Hey
I’m headed there tomorrow morning.
The day we lose our will to fight - Is the day we lose our Freedom.
Let me guess: Frankfurt?
"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.
Close enough
Zweibrucken, with the final destination being Landstuhl/Ramstein area.

If the pitcher batted 8th and Miles 9th I think they’d intentionally walk the pitcher.
Jay is our Quarterback. I REPEAT JAY IS OUR QUARTERBACK. Did I mention we have a Quarterback who happens to be named Jay?.

Theriot and Lilly are the Power Bats on this team.
As I've told you before, I never repeat myself.

Ted Lilly should be our new 1B.
Derrek Lee is good.

Have Lilly play 1st when Z pitches otherwise Z plays first.

Is it just me
Is it just me or does this seem like a different team than the one that was beaten with sticks on Thursday?

perhaps the building tension over playing like crap and not getting a big hit in a while was lifted.

Lilly should play 1st when Lee sits and Z should play right field when Bradley is out.
If Lilly throws a perfect game outside of that bad call at 1st they should beat the umpre with a stick.
Jay is our Quarterback. I REPEAT JAY IS OUR QUARTERBACK. Did I mention we have a Quarterback who happens to be named Jay?.

There's too many Chicago sports going on today
hopefully the cubs will get Chicago off to a good start…minus the white sux.
You said Chicago sports
So why would you bring up the Sox? They aren’t Chicago. They are gary indiana I thought

Unfortunately
the state of Indiana has “given” Gary to Chicago. It was a Super Bowl runner-up consolation prize.

"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.
True story:
Back in high school, my buddy’s dad was an ER doctor in Gary because he could make way more there than he could at one of the hospitals here. So he’d make the commute to Gary and back each day. One night, on his way to his car in the parking lot, he was attacked in the hospital parking lot, and my buddy’s dad fended the mugger off by shooting him in the leg.

EA knows that Hoff loves his leather.
"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.
or maybe it's a sign of things to come.
Good pitching, good hitting, good defense. Seems pretty simple.

Works for me.

Sounds like an odd one… …but I like it :)
If the Cubs were an international soccer team they'd be called Scotland.
Twilight zone Cubs today
First game for Riot to hit both a HR and a 3B; first game for Dome to steal twice; and Hoff with a diving catch. Awesome.
Derrek Lee is good.
50 pitches, 39 strikes for Theodore
he’s locked in, thus far.

Santo says getting a single and a double is not that easy.
Whew – avoided that controversy.
Derrek Lee is good.
Here's what I wonder about hitting for the cycle:
Who’s the last player that hit for the cycle and all of the hits came off of the same pitcher?
Hey, it's a new century!
Note to self: Fieldin Culbreth calls the high strike.

MLB is going to wait until a broken maple bat stabs someone.
One of these days it is going to happen that the sharp end is going to hurt someone.
"If it's obvious, it's obviously wrong." - a well known stock market guru
since they're charging extra money for the gameday highlights why don't they
get rid of all maple bats?
"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.
It's already happened
Don Long, the Pirates bench coach, took the sharp end to his cheek last year. And a few years ago, Rick Helling was impaled in the leg by the sharp end.
They studied the issue last year, but it doesn’t seem to have changed anything.

Well...
I guess they will wait until a high priced star has his career ended by a maple bat incident. And at that point, insurance companies will exclude “maple shrapnel” from an insured event, and at that point, MLB will finally have to do something about it.
It is all about the money.
"If it's obvious, it's obviously wrong." - a well known stock market guru
I would say so.
Someone is going to get hurt by a flying projectile bat one of these days, and it won’t be pretty.

May have trouble getting in the swing. Usually am already working out but my ankle has set me back.
One problem we have this year on my team is a problem I doubt the Cubs will ever have. I don’t think the Cubs will ever have to replace a starter because they are pregnant. We lost our left fielder and our best bench player to pregnancy this year.

You can pick that up at the drive-through liquor store in Ohio, IIRC.

Funny how Lilly has been solid at home this year
and not so much on the road. You’d think a fly-ball pitcher would have more of a problem at Wrigley. But I’m not complaining.

Early in the year, Wrigley's not exactly a band box.

Is the new park nice?
Looks nice on TV, just empty.

I don't like the park at all although it is nice and new.
There’s a bar in the outfield that most of the adults spend time in (with their backs to the action), and a video game area where the kids play video games instead of watching the action. Geez….

I don't like it either...
It’s very bland. And expensive, especially when compared to Baltimore.
They say the grandstand is pretty much exactly the same as New Busch. We’ve gone from Cookie Cutter Multi-Purpose Parks to Cookie Cutter HOK/Populous Parks

I got a free ticket to go today with my little boy, but had to do some computer work at home.
And I’m glad I didn’t go.

And you're gonna waste that "My First Nats Game" sign?
Call it a push.

We're going out there for the Cubs series in July
Looks like tickets won’t be a problem, even if a lot of Cubs fans show up.
by Not Bruce Froemming on May 2, 2009 2:11 PM CDT up reply actions
I'll be there for all four games...
Getting in my live Cubs action later in the summer. I’m going to the series in South Florida a couple of weeks later (hurricane permitting), then to Wrigley in August.
