But, does anyone know what was the score earlier today between Spain and South Africa in the Confederations Cup?

Base hit to right

Valbuena singles. Jimenez to second. Haffner in to pinch hit.

Marshall is being brought in to pitch.

I'm a Cubs FANATIC. They are my team, through thick and thin. When they play over their heads, and when they play under the gutter. When they win the division, and then get swept in the division series. When they get no-hitters and when they blow no-hitters. And some day, when they go all the way and get those rings. This is the kind of fan I am.

They don’t realize it’s basically pronounced the same as Jimenez.

It’s fine, I really don’t mind.

Pat says the same thing.

It reminds me of Matt Diaz, who for some reason pronounces his name “Die-Az.”

STRIKE THREE! INNING OVER!

I'm a Cubs FANATIC. They are my team, through thick and thin. When they play over their heads, and when they play under the gutter. When they win the division, and then get swept in the division series. When they get no-hitters and when they blow no-hitters. And some day, when they go all the way and get those rings. This is the kind of fan I am.

I really like Lou sticking Marmol in there..

in that situation. Obviously still a work in progress, but if he can get some experience and confidence in that situation, then he will be able to be a very good closer. We might as well get this figured out now when it’s early – then maybe we’ll have something to work with in October.

you can express anger and frustration without cursing.

I'm a Cubs FANATIC. They are my team, through thick and thin. When they play over their heads, and when they play under the gutter. When they win the division, and then get swept in the division series. When they get no-hitters and when they blow no-hitters. And some day, when they go all the way and get those rings. This is the kind of fan I am.

You can do so in a manner that's respectful to others

That means not attacking others, or using profanity, because not everyone cares for that. Why is that so hard to understand>
