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.

THACO stands for: To Hit Armor Class 0. According to your class and level, your THACO will differ. THACO is used when your character makes an attack. If his opponent’s armor class is 0 then you must roll your character’s THACO or higher on 1D20 to make a successful hit on his opponent. If you have a 3rd level fighter, his THACO is 18. So you must roll an 18 or higher on 1D20 for your fighter to hit his opponent. If the monster you are battling has an armor class of 4 then your THACO will be lowered by 4 points, thus leaving you to roll a 14 or higher on 1D20. If your roll is successful, then your character hits the monster.

I think Detroit has a THACO of 19.

Strike (N.)

The top of the strike zone is a horizontal line at the midpoint between the top of the batter’s shoulders and the top of the uniform pants. The bottom of the strike zone is a line at the hollow beneath the kneecap. The right and left boundaries of the strike zone correspond to the edges of home plate. A pitch that touches the outer boundary of the zone is as much a strike as a pitch that is thrown right down the center. A pitch at which the batter does not swing and which does not pass through the strike zone is called a ball.

did you hear his pre-game interview

with Judd Sirott? For the first time, I heard Lou sound beat.

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.

he said things like

“good teams find ways to win”

and something about how Gregg sure gives up a lot of home-runs for being a closer.

What an AWFUL call!

That wasn’t even close. Just a terrible call by the ump there. He must have somewhere to be after this game, because that one wasn’t even close to being borderline. Bullshit!

… not that the Sox are “in it” but the Cubs have won only one series against the AL Central and that a team in last place.

Yeah, all I ever do is pile on the Cubs and dance on their grave...
…from what I’ve seen the Cubs have the best pitching in the NL Central and the offense will get going.
The Cubs are still within reach and they have the best pitching in the division, so they’ll be in contention if not leading the NL Central at some point soon.

Lee is a quality person. He’s just having a rough go, he’ll get over it.

Those are just a couple of quotes by…

ME!

Even though I've disagreed with him on some stuff (mostly about Hawk)

Crawdad doesn’t bother all that much. He’s not usually trolling, but instead actually discusses stuff reasonably. I don’t mind getting the outsider perspective.

Sadly, he’s often more tolerable and intelligent a critic than some (ostensible) Cub fans around here, who will take any change they can to say something negative (and usually off-base).

Seeing the flaws

and being able to do something are two different things. Between likely not having a lot of cash to throw around, not many sellers yet, and not wanting to give up good prospects, I suspect his hands are largely tied.
Which isn’t to say he isn’t trying, we just haven’t seen any results, and probably won’t.

Saw a little of the game tonight, not happy about the result. But based on my day, I can’t complain.

Got a call last night that I had to stay home today and wait by my e-mail, voicemail and cell to see if I still had a job. Well, I still have a job but it was a lot of stress today.

lou in todays postgame:
“What is there to talk about?” Piniella said. “Ozzie [Guillen, White Sox manager] had a great statement — when you have too many meetings, you have a bad team. Good teams don’t have meetings. They go out there and play and get the job done and they win baseball games. If the manager has to have too many meetings, there’s a lot of problems.”

“What are you going to do? Keep running them out there and sooner or later they’ll hit,”
“Maybe we’ll draw the names out of a hat,” Piniella said. “That might be the thing to do. Leave a couple guys who are doing their jobs in their positions and just draw some names and see where they fall. We can’t do any worse.”

i really dont know how to react. the cubs havent been hitting/scoring for well over a month
