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

You've got to love all the away stadiums that fill up with Cubs fans.

Here in Denver, the Rockies have a three-tiered price system for games. The “Classic” games are the most expensive. They are Opening Day, the 4th of July fireworks game, and all the Cubs’ games. All the other games are cheaper.

Mute testimony to Cubs’ fans loyalty.

I’ve been to a bunch of games out there and it’s always mostly Cubs fans… Reds fans stop going after opening day for the most part

Blanco

hits one hard to right, Nix catches it. Hill back to first.

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.

Nice to see Blanco drive that 2-0 pitch so hard.

An out, but good to see.

But that’s way too far for me. The closest one for me is Santa Monica, but Zuma is cool too.

Heck of a pitcher, and at the plate, he’s got them scratching their heads as to whether he’ll bunt. And then, when he bunts, it’s perfect.

he took off because Soriano stumbled,

well, Lou double-switched with Hoff last night

normally a sound strategy late in the game to help optimize the pitcher’s spot in the batting order, but to do so with one of your best players, I thought was very interesting.

that Sori is hurting. If Lou feels that he can’t take him out for entire games, you still try to get him some rest.
