MJMars?
who’s the “other” prospect the cubs are looking at that you’re gonna write up tomorrow?
that's not fair...
i was thinking of a kid from high school kid from mississippi…initials are D.R.
we’ll see…i’m excited the MLB network is broadcasting the draft
It took me a minute though
I am a fan. Actually like him a bit better as a hitter though
churchofbaseball.com
correct
he has a great bat, but figured he’d give pitching a go…his season ended on a down note, but he was hitting 92-93 w/ regularity
not sure if he’s gonna stay w/ ole miss but we’ll see…
By the way
I hope you all enjoyed the draft preview. You better, because there is more coming :)
churchofbaseball.com
i did
nice of you to help josh…he seemed swamped
Do you have a pogo-ball?
’Cause those were awesome…

not as much as network tv sucks
I remember why I rarely watch tv.

I turned it off
I have been meaning to get quotes for car insurance and thinking maybe I should google that.

Just got back from the game in ATL.
What is the TV saying about getting this game in tonight? I’d like to go back in if they plan on playing
No real news yet...
Other than they’re hoping to get it in.

That’s pretty good.
As for the actual set, it’s obviously beautiful, but it’s so big that it almost feels impersonal…

Haven't watched him this week
is he going to be much different than he was before?
churchofbaseball.com
He's still really funny I think.
Seems like he’s doing more pre-planned comedy with his guests than I remember from Late Night (ie coaching them on what to say that will lead to a joke ala the original Tonight Show way back when…)

He is funny
My buddy was telling me he thought Conan would tone done the whackiness a bit

so...
is it cancelled?
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.

That's gotten a lot of use recently
but I’m still surprised nobody has photoshopped it yet

Of his few baseball triumphs photoshopped so he appears in Cubs gear. That also works fine with me….

Any ideas when we could post it?

I’m not sure I should say thanks though. I think this’ll be used against us.

Maybe we could photoshop it
So Charlie Brown is in the other team’s uniform.

Have fun recruiting anyone on State St or W Wash. Try for the guys playing their guitars outside State St Brats. I am sure they will come with you if you give them weed.

I love state st brats. What a great bar.
I am glad that I am just a regular Marine again. I would rather be shot at than do that job again

military wives have one of the toughest jobs in the military

Radar update
here . It looks like they may get a window here in about 20 minutes, but not sure how long it will last. I hope they play today. I think they need to get some playing time in right now.
I'd just about forgotten
that I still had gameday audio on..
.. then could suddenly hear the PA announcer at Turner saying the game was off.. lol

So, I'm going to be a loser
and watch some basketball with a few friends. Have a good night everyone.

It's the best of the two teams' mutual off days.
The other two are June 15 (no sense whatsoever, the Cubs are home and the Braves are on the road) and August 24 (which violates the rule for too many games without a day off).

this is a frustrating season for me
simply because I’m unable to catch nearly the number of games I did last year. Suppose given the tenor of this year, that’s not always a bad thing…but still…
sigh.
No kidding.
I’m lucky I can pop in and out of the game threads most nights. I miss watching games.

when you have a chance you still want to catch them :)
