When they do something to cheer about I will be happy.
Dempster pitched great last night and our crappy pen and lack of offense wrecked it for him.
So today is not a good start.
Has nothing to do with kool aid
You don’t have to cheer, b/c they haven’t done anything good yet. But don’t jump off the ledge so early and poison the freakin’ board with your negativity. No comments would suffice just fine.

Well, its early and heyward might struggle once the scouts figure him out
Then, his true value will be determined if he can adjust to the pitching.
Bleh.

Hey guys!
Think Colvin is ready?
I didn't believe it last August, but it turns out that love survives.
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.

but Lou prob got amnesia over the offseason and decided Theroit should be leading off?!

you usually don’t have your leadoff man be a platoon player, because that means you have to switch someone in when he’s not playing.
