What about a sveum with a bobble arm that goes around and around?

It's a sad day. However he did live to 91, that in itself is impressive to me.

I don't think they will have to do that. entirely, they can always move it over a little bit.

ML debut? Dang, looks like a loss tonight.

I know they wanted the Royals to go before we did. Donno about anybody else.

Pretty good article. Here's a small clip from it that i thought hit the head on the nail for me. Seriously, how could you not love the Chicago Cubs? Well, as it turns out, there are a lot of ways. You could grow up on the Southside of Chicago, where Cubs fans are viewed as a whole tribe of spoiled Ferris Buellers. You could be a St. Louis Cardinals fan raised to believe the Cubs are only cute and cuddly to the people who see them from afar. You could be from the greater Milwaukee area, only two hours north of Chicago, where maybe you have had the whole lovable Cubs thing rammed down your throat all your life to the point of bursting. http://sportsillustrated....s.cubs/index.html?eref=T1

I don't understand why Lou is getting all this love. The Cubs were expected to be one of the best teams in the NL this year and they are. Why does that make him the Manager of the Year?

I sometimes question how Scott Boras can live with himself. He better enjoy his time here on earth because where I come from they say he's going to a very hot place. I don't think the guy is going to hades simply for being very, very good at his job(espcially one as trival in the grand scheme of things as a Sports Agent). But it's probably best not to go down that road.

Yea, we all remember the days of 2002-2004. I personally don't mind the bandwagon fans. If it helps keep us competitive, come on in!

Let's push em back one more game!

Yay us!

My question is why not just let the kid pitch at a higher level?

Boo off days. Yay Karstens!

Hank would just be a face, that's really it.

Who do you think is Manny's Cover Girl?

Having worked in Electronics for a while, i can tell you new tvs fail about as much as refurbs do(on avg). If you are making that big of a purchase, you may as well buy the EPP(extended protection plan) and be safe no matter if it's new or a refurb. It's just a certain cord you need to connect the TV to your computer.

And people getting up in front of me 5+ times to do the wave is more than the average person will get up to get food and beer as by then they're probably so full and bloated they're ready to puke. That's assuming only one person ever gets up infront of you during the middle of an inning. Theaters don't have replay Last time i checked, there isn't replay at Miller Park except for the TVs out in the concourse/suites. (fixed code --1992)

You can't let these people think it over and convince themselves they don't need the nacho fries in a baseball helmet. impluse buys aren't that impulsive anymore when you have to wait in line 10 mins to get said nachos. Also, you're assuming most people in attendance know what an inning is, much less what it means to be between them. If you think that low of the fans at Miller Park(I don't), you can always rephrase it to say "when play stops" As an aside, I'm not sure how many people travel to densely populated places, are often around large groups of people etc. But you get all types. You also tend to learn that it isn't their problem they're annoying you. You learn that you have to stop being annoyed by little things and ignore them. Maybe some person gets up every 2 innings at bad times or takes forever to sit down in front of you. Look around them. Maybe some guys are drinking, having a good time and swearing a bit. Ignore them and if you have kids with you take that opportunity to teach them why this is low class behavior (or sit in the family section). Or maybe someone is a fan of another team and is acting like they're winning the world series after every called ball. Cheer for your team then. The point is we don't need rules and laws etc because someones ideal of a baseball game is being violated. Just stop worrying about other people and focus on enjoying yourself. Don't let people ruin your good time and if anyone has a problem with you ignore them. I've seen too many people just sit there like wet blankets, angry because someone around them was ruining their good time. The only person who loses is the person feeling like that. My only problem with people getting up is when they do it right infront of me during a big AB or something. It's not "my ideal of a baseball game" it's common courtesy. Nobody complains when the "shut off your cell phones" flashes before a movie starts, and yet, if someone wants to talk on a cell phone, isn't that "just them having fun" and only "ruining someone else's ideal of watching a movie?" As an example, I hate the wave when the Brewers are down or tied or its close and it's the 4th inning, etc. I found that because everyone around me doing it is an idiot, it's more fun to just mock them. Yeah I hate how they get up every 10 seconds trying to get the thing going and I miss pitches, etc. Whatever. It's not going to ruin my good time. The difference is the majority of the people enjoy the wave(if they didn't, nobody would do it), and if the guy can't get it going, he/she usually stops after 4-5 tries. (cleaned up code --1992)

This isn't much of a shocker. Who wants to pay Gagne 2 million if you look at his full season(yes, i know how he has been since coming off the DL)? Riske is still a big contract and no shock there either.

Would it be easier to put signs up when you walk to your seat from the concourse(similar to the watch out for flying bats and balls) that says "please refrain from leaving your seat until inbetween innings".

Just walk around the houses/state street. You will find more than a few up for sale by students.

i saw a bit on this on the news. Great to see it happen.

Let's get that W boys.

Bingo. That was the way i used to handle those types of situations back in the day. In all honesty, the usher could have handled it better, but i don't view this as a big deal on either side.

It's back! I love this site.
