not first
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
Alright, one on, no out!
I'm a truth teller, I'm a risk taker, I'm like Johnny Cash - I walk the line...
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.
IF IT TAKES FOREVER!!
Great American is definiately Wrigley East
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.

Hendry couldn’t draft people? And that our farm was crap?

well, I don't think anyone's job is going to hinge on whether or not a 38th rounder pans out...
pretty much a crapshoot when you get that low (and lower). For every Piazza and Wells, there are probably hundreds of washouts.

Thanks. I saw he had some stats with Toronto last year.
I read where if the Jays didn’t have him on the opening day roster they had to offer him back the Cubs.

Toronto drafted him rule 5 in Dec 07 and returned him to the Cubs April 08.
He threw one inning for the Jays and 4.1 for the Cubs last year

If i were the braves, i would have done the same thing. He can’t pitch anymore so release him. I’m surprised Glavine is actually mad because he understands the business of baseball.

they gave him a very incentive laden contract to get back into the bigs, let him pitch an AAA rehab start which packed the stands, and then released him right before bringing him back to the big league club.
They didn’t exactly handle it well.

and I think he hadn't allowed a run in three minor league starts so far this year
so it’d be tough to say he wasn’t pitching well.

Dome bangs a grounder
thrown out. One out.
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.
Lee
grounds down the third baseline. Hairston throws it into the crowd! Lee to second. One out.

Might be a better 3rd baseman than Hairston.
