there has to be more to that story

i don't know, but the way len worded it, it seemed like we are devastated about him not being able to pitch anymore
it sucks that he has a crcked rib, but at least he cant pitch (and therefore give up HRs)

get the run home from third. Enough.
by Not Bruce Froemming on Sep 29, 2009 7:21 PM CDT up reply actions
As usual you don't answer the question
They came through on the 2nd try tonight and I am glad they did, but many times they do not. Does this not bother you?
Your buddy Bradley rarely came through in a RBI situation.
Because it's a bullshit question
You’re screaming bloody murder about Lee not driving in the run. But they did score the run from third, eventually, and they scored two more on top of it.
Do you still beat your wife?
by Not Bruce Froemming on Sep 29, 2009 7:34 PM CDT up reply actions
HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!
Great answer!!!!!!
I ask your opinion on the Cubs having issues getting runs in from 3rd with less than two outs and you say its bullshit and ask if I beat my wife…..
The players you defend the most have sucked and have not been clutch RBI guys so I guess its natural that you would get a little touchy about that line of questioning.
I won’t bother to ask about you beating your wife because I am sure you are busy beating yourself….
youre not going to win

You can take his side, I could care less
But it does not change the fact that most of what he says has been proven wrong and he has issues answering questions.
Whatever, talking to him has been amusing but mostly a waste of time.
There are plenty of people here who know what they are talking about, he just isn’t one of them.
Kevin Hart cannot find the strike zone. At least he had that 3 week stretch for the Cubs where he did
