kinda?

isnt that like saying the titantic had a small problem during its boyage

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

That brings up an interesting question

If a team was to go on a bad losing streak, say lose 15 in a row or something crazy, could the manager order AAA uniforms for everyone and make them wear it at the next game?

I think all uniform deviations

(everything other than your standard home and away unis) have to be approved by MLB. Alternate caps, softball jerseys, patches, etc.

remember
Sammy Jankis

by neverAcquiesce on May 5, 2009 2:25 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

yes, but if the league approved it and everyone on the team wore it AND

the team (and MLB) can figure out how to make a buck off it, it would happen.

The question is

how far in advance it needs to be scheduled.

But you’re right, if the Cubs says MLB is making money they’ll let them wear whatever they want.

When is Lee going to be dropped to 5th in the order?

He’s not producing in the money spots either. Maybe its too early and I love the guy but Ramirez should get the money spots in the order when he returns.

so, given how things are going, any chance lou taps into that loaded bench he's got today anytime soon?

or is he pretty much conceding defeat considering lincecum seems to always have our number

by Danny Satan on May 5, 2009 2:23 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

i'm not saying it's the end up the game, but i thought since the lineup was announced that it's as if he's looking at today as a throwaway game

and i don’t have the stats in front of me but lincecum has historically been able to dominate the Cubs even when our offense is clicking as good as ever

by Danny Satan on May 5, 2009 2:26 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

well this season he's been far from untouchable.

and as this game has gone on it looks more and more like lou didn’t think the Cubs would have much of a chance to change their luck against him and decided it might be better to get some of his guys a much-needed rest since they’re still 6 days away from their first off day in weeks

John Madden had a knack for sounding like a cute but senile old guy even when he was young.

I think that help to keep him in the broadcast booth an extra 10-15 years.

He (and his estate) are going to make a ton of money on that video game for a long time. Good for him!
