I have been to five Cubs games in my lifetime. The Cubs' record in those games: 5 wins, 0 losses.

You see, wire telegraph is a kind of a very, very long cat. You pull his tail in New York and his head is meowing in Los Angeles. Do you understand this? And radio operates exactly the same way: you send signals here, they receive them there. The only difference is that there is no cat. - Albert Einstein
Danke!

folks get along between those two states or is there a bit of a rivalry there?
I grew up in Ohio, so the Ohio-Michigan jokes were plentiful, especially during college football season.
Lou Brown: "My kinda team, Charlie, my kinda team..."
A little bit,
But New Hampshire has many more people (the suburbs of Boston spill into NH), so the rivalry does get one-sided.
Outside the cities in New Hampshire, though, the two states look very similar.

One of these days
One of these days when a lot of the girls here are in a game thread to counterattack the posting of EA and such photos we should post some photos of our favorite hotties.
I can even do a double bonus as I have a picture taken with my favorite hottie tottie David Borenaz but you probably won’t recognize me those who have seen me before since I am about 160 pounds lighter than the last picture here.

I'm on a waiting list (with a deposit paid) in Belgium
Here in Germany they are only sold with a bundle (Deutsche Telekom for 24 months), which I do not need. In Belgium they are not allowed to lock out any providers. This makes iPhones from Belgium very popular here. The same applies to Italy and the Czech Republic among others.
If I were to import it myself from outside of the European Union, there would warranty problems and I would have to pay rather large customs duties.

Asked last thread -
What is the time limit for starts on “get-away” games?
Technically, I don't suppose there is one
Anytime after 7 is probably pushing it, though.
"Who ever heard of the Cubs losing a game they had to have?" -Frank Chance
"If [Ruth] had [called his shot], I would have knocked him down with the next pitch." -Charlie Root
at some point, a much-delayed day game could be considered a night-game
and that normally could cause some problems with the whole night-game limit thing here at Wrigley but…
…I think the Cubs have a bit of a buffer zone this year with at least a couple of rained-out night games being rescheduled as day games. The rained out Houston game already played (Jul 30) was originally a night game, and the upcoming rescheduled Sox game on Sept 3 was originally a night game as well. Not sure about the St. Louis game.

If you plan to watch on Extra Innings
The game will no longer be shown.
I posted it in last thread but after the “JUMP” so I wanted to inform anyone else banking on watching this in the afternoon on there.
Just joining. Been out all day in the 94 degree heat in Michigan.
Does it look like they will get this one in? I can’t believe they’ve held the crowd over 3+ hours (5+ since the gates opened…)

There’s a lot more rain coming here to St. Louis. Could be a very good thing for the Cubs…the game official when the rain starts again.

Was wondering last night
Was wondering last night while watching that super exciting Bears game in between posting my Bones stories, are we going to have some game threads for Bears games this year?
And is there any doubt they’ll introduce the offense next week for the home opener? and should I wear earplugs for the moment the exciting new addition that was made on April 2nd is announced? (of course I refer to Orlando Pace)
I had to delete my twitter account. But you can still find me at fanfiction.net under puckish prosecutor.
What's wrong with the SBN Bears site - Windy City Gridiron?
Lou Brown: "My kinda team, Charlie, my kinda team..."
I sure hope he is what the Bears need.
Watching him living in St. Louis as a Die Hard Bears fan, Pace has been very injury prone in St. Louis…Last year was not the first or second season ending injury for him. The Bears sure need him healthy and playing like the beast he can be.

if you catch a ball
hit by the other team and throw it back, if the game is cancelled before it’s offiicial, do you get it back?

Thanks for asking, Clutch...
Ok to run over a little old lady? If the ball was hit by a Cub, yes. If hit by the other team, probably still ok but discretion should be used.
Toddler? Of course, They’re young, flexible, still have some baby fat for padding, got their whole life ahead of them. Heck, they probably won’t even remember they got hit. One rule though – if there’s blood, you gotta give them the ball. That just goes without saying.

Several years ago, I caught a Sosa homer he blasted off some Marlin rookie pitcher
next day as I was getting that pitcher’s autograph (on a different ball of course), I thanked him for the autograph and for the previous day’s souvenir. He grimaced for a second and then laughed it off – said he was glad somebody got some fun out of it.
Lou Brown: "My kinda team, Charlie, my kinda team..."
Again, as I stated earlier,
having been there – it was possible in my opinion for them to have finished four or five innings of baseball between 1:45-3:00
Why they had people waste their whole day there is just plain greed.
Not necessarily.

by puckishcubsfan on Aug 16, 2009 4:41 PM CDT up reply actions
No greed would have been starting the game
with such a short window. You think the Cubs WANT a rain out with a sold out house ? That is far too short a window to assume you can
get in 5 innings. Game will be rescheduled as a day game in Mid Sept which will be much harder to sellout ( all season ticket holders
will have to take it though). They would have ruined a Harden start if they had started the game and not made it through 5 innings and needlessly used players on a bad field.

BUt I have been at games
played in steady rain. Not downpours with velocity, but steady rains. The field drains much better than it used to. Again in my opinion they could have gotten an official game in.
Too much of a risk
but like I said GREED would have been if they started with the high risk of not getting it in not calling it and rescheduling it for
far less desirable time.

DH for sure
It is VERY easy to do and only requires a split DH with one of the Sept games which are all night games. As I mentioned before with the expanded roster this will not be nearly as much a strain as it would be at another time, you will have several extra pitchers and position players available.

They will eat Gorzelanny alive IMO.
I'm going to take reverse psychology
People are going to complain on here and on Al’s post that they should have tried to get 5 innings in when they could.
Had they done that and say Harden given up 3-4 runs and Cubs only scored 2 people would be complaining they should have delayed the game so they could get 9 innings in.
unpossible!

No really!
I swear, that’s what would have been said and knowing Cubs luck would have happened!
I'm shocked, shocked to find that complaining is going on in here!
Everybody out at once!

On bright side
Lou had the B team playing in many positions. I understand him evening the playing field for the Pirates but at least it’s a day off for everyone as opposed to a “we’ll try to win with everyone else” day.
B-team was playing 2B and SS
Everything else looked just peachy to me.

LF
Any day Aaron Miles starts makes the team the B-Team.
Don't know why I wrote LF
I really have to PROOF READ what I write!

This is the end
Beautiful friend
This is the end
My only friend, the end
It hurts to set you free
But you’ll never follow me
The end of laughter and soft lies
The end of nights we tried to die
This is the end
