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.

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.

that’s an interesting stance, but it’s also irrelevant. I’m asking you, and so are other people.
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.

And I'm declining.
Stop being such a pansy, man. We’re a bunch of grown men (for the most part) more or less watching a baseball game together. Do you freak out when you watch a game with your real life friends (if they exist) and one of them drops an F bomb or says the word shit? Geez, you must be a LOAD of fun to watch a game with.
