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
should be ursuli
I think I speak for everyone here when I say, "Wait, what the hell are you talking about?"
That would the Bears

i know latin is mostly dead...
ursuli would be little bears, or bear cubs…

Catulus means young animal, e.g. a whelp
The Romans didn’t really have a word for a bear cub, and imho catulus fits “Cub” better

Theres something beautiful and old-timey
about the Giants unis in the sun.
Maybe thats just b/c I love San Fran… and want to go there.

Well at least they made Zito throw 25 pitches
as opposed to 5 in the FIRST inning.

The first one was really bad
this was just a really solid effort from the runner.
Riot could’ve shuffled his feet to the side and gotten his foot on the base. Fox made a good play (I thought, especially considering he doesn’t get to play first much anymore) and a solid throw.
Jerry’s been so distant lately and Lovie barely calls.- Just Dave
The throw was just a bit too wide, imho - but no damage was done - phew

Nice play from Fox...
but Riot sucks.

well no harm done there
sheesh it sure is quiet in here..

yeah
its unbelievably quiet in here.

HBCG!
how’s it?? been awhile

Its going... busy
and the Cubs suck. Actually they’ve been playing better… but this place with the gameboard business got so ugly and unpleasant I stopped coming here much at all.
But good overall. How’s it going with you?
Jerry’s been so distant lately and Lovie barely calls.- Just Dave
well at least we have the Bears!
And I cannot wait for Fischer Price to be gone from this team, good riddence.
Very busy, as usual for me!

I just can't really get worked up by the Bradley business
You’d think he killed someone by the way some people have reacted.
Yes he was rude. Yes he sucked early in the season. But damn.

Only the Cubs could take 3 times to turn a successful double play...

As a compensation you were granted two runs.

Dear Fox,
learn how to play 2b in the off season.
Signed,
Nearly every single Cubs fan
PS: Teach Colvin how to hit well too, that way we don’t have to sign a FA..

and work on your fielding for the corner IF and we are all set. Jake Fox, super sub.

why do pitchers do that?
do NOT reach out with your pitching hand to stop a line drive!
Jerry’s been so distant lately and Lovie barely calls.- Just Dave
shouldn't your instinct
be to get out of the way from a line drive?
(i hated playing IF… maybe thats just me)
Jerry’s been so distant lately and Lovie barely calls.- Just Dave
no depth perception
easier to dive out of the way.
Jerry’s been so distant lately and Lovie barely calls.- Just Dave
understood
actually, I think it’s pretty amazing how the human body is wired. Line drive at the head, most everyone would obviously duck. Line drive just a little bit to one side, most everyone would try to catch it.

He now has 17 walks to 10Ks. He is clearly on the wrong team.

Now if Fox were in LF, he'd never get close to that one, so Riot would have kept coming...
…and most likely would have made the catch.

If Sori were in LF,he would not have gotten it either but when he hopped
he would have scared Theriot into dropping the ball.
