$18 million
to hit behind Tyler Colvin and Mike Fontenot!
Some people on this site would pay 18 million to play in front of Soto

um
that makes a certain amount of sense. Colvin (like Byrd) is a good OBP person, you want Soriano’s power to knock them in. Never mind that Colvin is subbing in that spot for Byrd/Rami.
Forget all that other stuff. I gotta believe.

I gave up on those
I’d been slowly losing interest over the last 4 years or so, and I just made a clean break of it this year.
I’m actually fairly happy about that decision.

I was the same way

"Every player should be accorded the privilege of at least one season with the Chicago Cubs. That's baseball as it should be played - in God's own sunshine. And that's really living." -- Alvin Dark
That was the thing
I used to follow along from Midnight Madness until One Shining Moment, then I lost interest in non-conference games, then in regular-season games, then in the conference tournaments…
Now I’ve finally just given it up altogether. I’m surprisingly upbeat about losing something that defined me every March for a decade and a half. It just got to the “Meh” stage for me.

Hmm... perhaps I was being too subtle. Let's try again.
Drew: There’s gonna be a lot of tit-for-tat.
Ballhawk: especially in the bleachers…
Lou Brown: "My kinda team, Charlie, my kinda team..."
oh, bah. I even considered making a bewbie joke, too.
I meant that from the LF bleachers, the sign won’t be blocked at all.

The logo will move right and the obstructed part will feature a scantily-clad model. “Visit our site to see more!”

like those pens
you turn upside down to, ah, display a model’s assets?
Maybe they can mount the toyota sign on a track that moves back and forth. That’ll make it even more difficult to hit with a HR.

Soto ground ball - Three outs
Don’t ask me where the play was made, they consider such information to be a distraction.

But how did it get to be the Cubs' half of the inning?
One minute, the Dodgers are batting, and in the very next instant the Cubs are batting.
Who cares if he's a Cubs fan? This is a football forum! He is a PACKER fan as well. So, from now until March, I’m sure he’ll dedicate a lot of his time here. In late March, then we can be enemies during the baseball season. Besides, the Cubs have perhaps the most loyal baseball fanbase in the country. You have to respect that.
Go Pack!

Sheesh eths, it's not worth having a coronary over...
Take a break next inning and go have one of those great german beers you keep telling us about. Then come back and tell us about it again.
It’ll be just like regular season when Pat take a break during the 5th inning and Judd takes over. And believe me, we’ve got lots of folks here very capable of playing the Judd role… ;-)

I think
silence would be better than the “Judd role.”

There needs to be more of this in the regular season from Soto.
