They’ll get this game in tonight since we don’t head back to Atlanta…
I'd happily go that one .

I thought about going to the game...
…and now, seeing how empty the ballpark is, I kind of wish I had.
Of course, if I were there right now, I’d be freezing my hiney off and probably soaked wet.
My big problem...
is that I can’t really leave work early the next few weeks, so there was no way I could’ve made the start of game 1…which, tonight, would be the whole reason to go.

Yeah. I took a look outside my house...

My feelings are thus a bit mixed on whether or not I want #300 to happen tonight…
lucky guess?

I asked this in the previous thread
but does anybody else make it to 300, or is this it?
by chitownhawkeye on Jun 4, 2009 6:08 PM CDT up reply actions
this gets asked every time somebody does it
It will happen again
Just say no to players named Aaron on the Cubs.
I know
But it’s a valid question. Pedro and Petitte are 80ish wins away, nobody else is close. Considering the way the game is now, it’s hard to see it happening
by chitownhawkeye on Jun 4, 2009 6:11 PM CDT up reply actions
Eventually it will happen
Some young, soft-tosser will throw 20 years for the Yankees, and will do it.

I think thats it.
They had that question ESPN last night, and I really dont see anyone getting close.
"Every player should be accorded the privilege of at least one season with the Chicago Cubs. That's baseball as it should be played - in God's own sunshine. And that's really living."
Hard to tell for sure
Someone at SI had a really good column the other day (and of course, i can’t find it) about this. This last group of 300 winners had comparable wins to those really good pitchers in their late 20s now (Santana, Hamels, etc)…

Could you mean...
… this article?
"Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end"
Solid quote:
In fact, for the first time since Nolan Ryan won his 300th in July of 1990, baseball is preparing to witness the initiation of another member in this exclusive fraternity without any reasonable guess as to who the next initiate will be.
"Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end"
CC Sabathia has a great shot
122 at age 28. 15 wins a year til age 40. Sure its hard, but def possible.
Just say no to players named Aaron on the Cubs.
I dont know about CC
I personally dont think he can keep up that work horse mentality he has, where he will end up throwing something out, or getting hurt somehow
"Every player should be accorded the privilege of at least one season with the Chicago Cubs. That's baseball as it should be played - in God's own sunshine. And that's really living."
Think of the shape the guys on that list are...
… and think of how CC is shaped.
He’s not built like Johnson, Ryan, Glavine, Maddux…
"Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end"

…Adam Dunn’s music when he comes up to bat is Phil Collins “In the Air Tonight.”
That isn’t really a good swaggerin’ song…
A favorite of Ray Lewis' apparently too.

Dunn K's looking on a really questionable call.
If I were him I’d be barking at that ump too.
Probably a gift from the ump

He'll have to wait a while yet.
They still have to get the nightcap in.
Dunn? Ks?
Shocking.

On this one I don't know if you can blame him.
I mean, there’s an extent to which he should have been defending the plate, but that was well below the zone.
Dunn
walks, ks or homers.
ain’t a whole lot of in between.

Oh well... now I can watch the Nats game...
…see if Johnson gets #300.
The Gnats have men on 1st and 2nd with 2 out and a 1-run deficit. A basehit from Zim and RJ has to wait another 5 days.

I feel so sorry for Nats fans
That lack of hustle on that 2B by Renteria was offensive to those who paid to see a show.

I could really see the Nationals foiling under in ten years if they continue to suck
Their new stadium isn’t great and with the combination of a crappy team and a weak fan base, it could very well happen..
I'm a lefty, maybe Lou should give me a shot for a position in the bullpen!!

I'm watching it on MASN local.
The Gnats have Rob Dibble as their color man.
Come to think of it, watching Nats games all year is a case-study in how broadcasters call games for a team that everyone knows was out of contention somewhere around April 6.
We remember 2006 quite vividly in Chicago too
And that was the season Len and Bob won me over completely and made me their fan.

I think I watched… maybe 20 games after Lee went down.

tommy skillethead is really surprised that...
they didn’t call the game earlier – says rain until at least 11. “They’ve known this forecast for a long time, I really don’t understand it”
5-1 Giants now.
Looks like RJ’s going to get #300.
Which ball do they give him as the game ball? The first one he threw, or the last?
speaking of 300 wins
Mussina is at 270, and could possibly do it
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
2 years younger than RJ
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
but is he pitchign for anyone?
he is listed as active, but so is Jon Liener
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
43?
30 wins is a lot.
Also, is Mussina still pitching?

I always thought Maddux could pitch until 50 and ultimately win 400 games
sigh…
I'm a lefty, maybe Lou should give me a shot for a position in the bullpen!!
Maybe he could pick up a knuckleball in the offseason.
I bet you could still drag Phil Niekro out onto the field and he could throw a game.
if he ever gets dfa'd
five people will put up fanposts to sign him

No end in sight for rain. No word on whether it’ll get banged. Cubs not scheduled in Atlanta again so it could be all night waiting.

August 24th (Braves in middle of homestand, Cubs flying from LA to Chicago)
My money is on June 22nd as the Cubs would probably violate the CBA to play on August 24th (too many games in a row).
June 22nd sounds fine if they can't play tonight.
June 15 doesn’t make much sense, and I can’t see baseball violation the rule about too many games in a row.

MLB Network just had a live in stadium
shot and they said there going to get this one in and if it does happen it should be around 10-10:30pm … not 100% sure eastern or central. I would guess Eastern since its on MLBN reporting it
They're saying now that it'll be like 10:00 or 10:30 ET when they get this thing started...
I'm a truth teller, I'm a risk taker, I'm like Johnny Cash - I walk the line...
The closed-circuit feed...
for WGN announced a bit ago that there’s a 90% chance of rain continuing past midnight….So I guess that 10:30 number must just mean that it’ll ease up…
padilla got fined by the league
and dfa’d the same day.

I love my friends
For those of you who watch what you eat , here’s the final word on nutrition and health. It’s a relief to know the truth after all those conflicting nutritional studies.
1. The Japanese eat very little fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than Cubs Fan .
2. The Mexicans eat a lot of fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than Cubs Fan .
3. The Chinese drink very little red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than Cubs Fan .
4. The Italians drink a lot of red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than Cubs Fan .
5. The Germans drink a lot of beers and eat lots of sausages and fats and suffer fewer heart attacks than Cubs Fan .
CONCLUSION
Eat and drink what you like. Being a Cubs Fan is apparently what kills you.
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
This is like one of the logic questions on an intelligence test..
Now, excuse me while I go get blitzed on Saki, Tequila, and wine-marinaded polish sausage. Go Cubz!

Fish up 4-1 on MIL in the 4th..
I really don’t think the brewers are going to be a threat, but that just an opinion. I just don’t think they’re pitching will hold out. I’d give Cincy a better shot than MIL.
how is looking for this one getting in
Every player should be accorded the privilege of at least one season with the Chicago Cubs. That's baseball as it should be played - in God's own sunshine. And that's really living."
Local televison was saying 10-10:30
they would give it a shot. Weather down here isn’t looking too promising though. I just got back after waiting for an hour and a half and the rain is coming down as hard as it was at 7. My guess is probably a ppd.
Game PPD...
Per Twittermeyer and others, no makeup date as of now.
Bummer.
Someday we'll go all the way...
