Exactly what I was thinking.
There are 108 beads in a Catholic rosary and there are 108 stitches in a baseball. Who says baseball isn't a religion?
Sigh.
Another game tonight. Weather permitting, of course.

Sorry about that Chief.

Wut were they showing at Wrigley tonight???
… Platoon? Schindlers List? The beer man needs to get over to LF more often!
Thinking of a headline
for tonight’s comeba…. loss.
I'm a Cubs fan. The Jaded Bitterness comes as a Standard Feature.
The camera doesn't add that much weight.
Guys, hitting is not about muscle. It's simple physics. Calculate the velocity, v, in relation to the trajectory, t, in which g, gravity, of course remains a constant.... It's not complicated. - George Costanza

If Ramirez gets on, I’d pinch run Campana.
Can anyone please explain to me, why Campana didn’t pinch run for Ramirez?

I think Kimbrel broke the record for saves by a rookie.

I like that he's wearing a visor and he hair flops over the top of it

He would fit right in with George Wendt and Mike Myers
in that snl skit. There’s probably a 99.9% chance his last name ends in ski?
Looks like Carl Wollarski with more hair.

That dude (I won't name him)
Knows more factual baseball history (I don’t consider it trivial) than just about anybody. That’s his seat, on the right hand of Al, and thus it ever shall be.
Angel Guzman is the man.
Does that make him Al's right hand man?
Had to say it.

Big time flashback for me right now.
On April 9, 2010 I was down in Cincy for the Cubs/Reds game. I actually posted this fanshot with photos of the game. Anyway, with the bases loaded and the Cubs leading 3-1 in the bottom of the 8th, Esmailin Caridad gave up a grand slam to Drew Stubbs. The Reds went on to win 5-4. After the grand slam, THIS ended up on WGN (I was able to do a screenshot of it). Man was I upset….this was my FB profile pic for quite a while, lol. Those were my 15 minutes seconds of fame I guess.
BEAR DOWN!
I remember that game well...
Gosh, Caridad was just awful last year. What happened to him this year? How come he only has 9 innings at AA? Is he hurt or does he just suck that bad?

I think he's hurt. But he may just suck that bad.
That night in Cincy was so depressing, haha. If you remember also that was Carlos Silva’s debut and he was fantastic.
BEAR DOWN!
Why are you wearing a Reds hat.

It looks as if he was in the midst of saying something....
…. something like “sigh:::: are you f’in kidding me?”
I think I speak for everyone here when I say, "Wait, what the hell are you talking about?"
Hey Al,
I hear this works well for men your age:

If the Cubs still have a chance, no matter how small, it’s still Go Cubs, damn the math and pass the KoolAid.

The next morning, all were surrounded by and buried under beer cans, and Chuck was missing his pants. None had left the stadium.
Al- nice hat
Where did you get that one? I love wearing Cubs hats with vintage logos- where did you get yours?
That was a gift from a friend.
I think you can find them around, though.

How do the Cubs make that little scoreboard float over your head?
Or do you pay extra for that? :)

At $300 million, I don't want Albert Pujols anywhere near the Cubs.
