HD TBD or reg EI?
HD Quality pitcher with bad announcers or regular picture in Extra Innings. Which would you do?
regular announcers.
or HD with mute, and WGN on the radio.

HD video and WGN radio audio
If MLB-AM (producers of MLB.TV & gameday audio) would finally get their act together, I would go for Pat and Ron with HD video, but Len and Bob aren’t a poor alternative. The cubs are lucky, imho, to have two good announcer teams working their games.
Probably TBS
Martinez has the most annoying voice ever created and if you can handle the delay mute the tv and listen to Pat and Ron!
I'm going with
Len and Bob on EI.

Hey quick question.
I’m trying to post pics from the PNC Park series. How do I do that using photobucket? It’s been awhile.

If that sort of thing exists in Photobucket. I’ve never used Photobucket though, so I’m not real sure how that would work. If SWL happens along, he’d most likely be of more help…

I think the central is getting better organized
STL, MIL, and CHC seem to be picking it up while HOU, CIN, and PIT are starting to show signs of weakness. My fearless predication for July 31st.
1st: Cubs
2nd: Stl – 2 1/2 GB
3 rd Mil – 4 GB
4th Cin – 5.5 GB
5th Hou – 7 GB
6th PIT – 10 GB
Ok.. let me have it..
They sure have looked bad vs SFO..
I hope you’re right – HOU doesn’t belong in our division anyway do like the English Soccer league and demote the worst team to AAA each year to keep five in the division.

I love Derrek
but if there was a chance to move him, right now would definitely be the best time to do that. Not saying we should necessarily but his value can’t get much higher, especially with his big contract.

Which is why I said that trading him probably isn’t the best option, but if we could get some high end talent for him then I think you would have to look at the possibility.

What pisses me off with Soriano
is when you are struggling you need to hussle.. hell at all times you need to. Why isn’t he trying to strech that to a 2 base hit? He is supposed to be somewhat fast right? Hustle after you hit the ball when you think it’s gonna fall!

regardless of that.
Cameron is sprinting to get the ball. It has a chance to fall and the ball was in the air for a long time. For someone with Soriano’s speed he should be on second.

Did one of the announcers say the Cubs are never in it? I guess the two division championships mean nothing.
"Yeah, Moe, that team sure did suck last night. They just plain sucked! I’ve seen teams suck before, but they were the suckiest bunch of sucks that ever sucked!" - Homer
Soriano fooled again
"We got some pretty good chemistry here. We got some toughness, and it's starting to show." - Lou Pinella
Cameron to the plate
one on, two outs.
I'm a Cubs FANATIC. They are my team, through thick and thin. [ibid] This is the kind of fan I am.
Should of made that catch...
Favorite player of all time: Ryne Sandberg.

he made a pretty good play even though he didn’t make the catch, to keep McGehee to a single.

I think people are
giving the injury too much credit. I don’t think he appears to be that injured. He’s mentally not there.
Its funny, you spend most of your life gripping a baseball. And in the end, its almost always the other way around.

To me,
It doesn’t really matter how many runs we score. The win is the important thing.

when it’s hit over Sori he takes a step in……when it’s hit in front of him he takes a step back.

The Brewers
would have inked Brenly if he wanted to.
Its funny, you spend most of your life gripping a baseball. And in the end, its almost always the other way around.
If you ask me...
he’s sitting and waiting for the Cubs job.
