I know you are firmly tongue in cheek...
But I hope everyone realizes that Hendry did him a huge favor. He was stuck on the bench or AAA with the Cubs, he should play quite a bit in Oakland.

Peter Gammons
And Chris Berman while we’re at it
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!

Brennaman and Buck may not be good, but they’re better than Ron.
I don’t know who hamilton is. Yes Harrelson is bad.
I said Ronnie was one of the worst, not THE worst, but he’s up there

this is by the way, why I was not a fan of telling Fuld he was on the team
before Spring training even started
I guess I'm just a worrier, that's why my friends call me whiskers
Fuld has already been told he's on the team
so Fuld would have to have a horrible spring

Fonty walks
Soto to the plate! Two on, no outs, 3-0 cubs

Soto Singles! A run scores, Fonty tries to go to third, and he’s OUT. Another bad baserunning job. 4-0 Cubs, 1 out.

2nd time a Cub has been thrown out at third today.

Excuse my Virginity
I joined BCB during this previous off-season. So I have to ask:
Is every game like this on BCB? Or is this just “First game” excitement accounting for the large number of comments and play-by-play analysis?
