    Isn't it "Asperger's"? Regardless of whether the kid has Asperger's, Asberger's, Brown Bottle Flu, whatever, making fun of children is a major no-no and they should've gotten an earful about it.

    I wasn't there so I can't speak to what happened tonight at MP, but my Cubs fan friends always say it's "sour grapes" and an exaggeration when I tell him that visiting Cubs fans have a bad reputation EVERYWHERE, not just Milwaukee. But every time I've gone to parks elsewhere on the West Coast and Midwest the home fans all have told me the same thing about what an insufferable, obnoxious group they are on the whole. I can't think of another fanbase that brags so much about so little. ANYWAY, I don't want that to sound like a sour grapes rant--Cubs definitely won the game tonight. Obviously Weeks' performance didn't help, but they put CC and Torres on the hook, got timely hitting, and there were some flashes of the old Marmol tonight. I still like our chances the rest of the week.

    I wouldn't be bothered if it hadn't been so gift-wrapped

    That was a patented D. Lee GIDP meeting a Rickie Weeks throw The moveable object meets the resistable force

    When my Grandfather watches the Packers, he records the game and only watches if they end up winning, lest his blood pressure skyrockets. I'm a young guy with no history of heart attack, stroke, etc., but I might need to do the same thing this week. Definitely if I get the Casper feed.

    I'd hope. Amazing.

    Bill Hall's home run in St. Louis this past week in the 10th inning Craig Counsell's double to start the 10th on Opening Day in Chicago and the subsequent sac fly by TGJ Both showed resiliency on the road against division contenders when the team could've folded after blowing 9th inning leads, and both wins could prove to be very important. I'd also argue for CC striking out the side in the 9th against the Reds two Sundays ago. It just seemed to herald a new era and attitude for the second half of the 2008 season. I mean, it is hard to top Braunie's recent home runs, though. Prince's bomb against Hamels early on would also have to be up there.

    Bump, and for a third question: 3. What is the quicker line up there, the D or the 4? Thanks again for any help you can provide
  9. SeriesFinale
    You bet; I know I'm superstitious but it seemed like we're just asking for it when we paint pictures like this.

    I keep trying to tell myself that, well, 1 game back with the Cubs coming into MP for 4 games is a place we'd have loved to be in when the All-Star Break ended, and that is true, but I'm pretty frustrated in a weekend when the Marlins did their part by splitting the series on the Northside, we couldn't at least win the home series against a reeling Astros team. I'm not expecting a sweep, but I think we should've at least picked up 2 when they're throwing Randy Wolf out there. If we miss the playoffs by one game (or heck, even a division title), this'll be one of those weekends I'll look back upon with disgust.
  11. SeriesFinale
    Yeah, I have no issue with that whatsoever...maybe if we were talking about a 10 run lead in the top of the 9th (which we may yet see, ugh), it might be piling it on, but the game was still tight, at the time.
  12. SeriesFinale
    Well, with the Cubs now ahead and the Brewers getting clocked, I'm about to enjoy the rest of my day elsewhere

    Blech, not looking good. I agree with pitchleague about the worst-case scenario not being the end of the world, but of course I would've preferred to have gone in a game up. That Friday night game burns me more than this one, although I still cannot believe Ned let Soup pitch to Blum there.

    This is all off-topic, but: No offense, but you did indeed mean to be "that guy"--you went over there solely to whip the pot to a froth. That, to me, is more "childish" (and again, I'm not saying that as a crack) than their board banning you for your first post being a bump of a thread that died months ago. Those guys have their place, we have ours. Last year there were plenty of threads here writing the Cubs' obit in May, too. I'd hope and assume that our mods would've banned any first-time posters who came to resurrect those threads with a one-line sarcastic post. Just my take. Anyway, to get back on-topic, I don't know if they're "nervous" but I can bet that all their May bluster about running away with the division has cooled to a still breeze.

    It was some kind of denim jumpsuit...Trenni's taking it back to 1978. The belt placement looked good in context.

    Good info in this thread; my wife and I are taking the red-eye out next Thursday night and are attending the Yankees' game next Saturday, which happens to be Old Timers Day there. I'm not as excited about it as I might've been after looking at the names ("OMG! THE Tino Martinez?!?!?") but I'm looking forward to it regardless. Initially we were talking about taking the "Yankee Clipper" ferry to the game since I thought the views would be great, we could enjoy some barley pops, and we'd avoid the subway crush (having lived in Chicago, there was nothing worse than taking the red line home from work the night of a Cubs game), but I just didn't want to get tied down by the ferry's schedule (we'll probably bail early--sacrilege, I know, but it's a 3:55 start and we'll have dinner plans and be meeting up with friends) so subway it is--smells, heat, wayward hands, and all. Anyway, two questions I have for my first and last visit to Old (New) Yankees Stadium that I can't seem to find answers for: 1. What are the truly older parts of the park--the original architecture? The refurbishment seemed to really do a number on the place, and I'd like to see the stuff Ruth Built, not necessarily Jackson and Steinbrenner Built. 2. How does one enter Monument Park? I'm having a hard time getting info on this. Our tickets say Gate 2, for what it's worth. Thanks guys.

    Good, get Nady and Marte off that team and out of the league...we play them three more times than the Cubs do the rest of the way out. Unfortunately this makes life harder for the Rays
  18. SeriesFinale
    Agreed; it's definitely my favorite of the last 15 years
  19. SeriesFinale
    No offense, but who cares what those jokers think

    Here we go Brew Crew here we go

    Apparently a 6-1 homestand that includes 4 against the Cubs would be considered unsuccsessful by olsonnet.
  22. SeriesFinale
    I'm hoping for a 5-2 homestand...either win both or sweep the Astros and split with the Cubs. I think that's feasible.

    Yost the smartest in the NL Central? Let's not get carried away here! Although I do agree that Lou is over-rated, he seemed like such a chump bailing on the Rays and I've never figured out what he does that's so amazing other than go crazy now and again--"Oh ha-ha! 'Mount Lou' is exploding again!!!" He's had some great lineups on his winning teams. Anyway, Samardzija did get called up: http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=3505155

    I'm not entirely sure, but my recollection is that Chad Moeller caught that game. Was Estrada with us that season? Estrada was playing for the Braves then (and got whiffed by Big Ben more than once that game, if I recall correctly).

    I had a Giants' fan asking me about that this past Sunday in SF, and he seemed kinda chapped about it too (although I'm sure that was more about the fact his team just got worked for the weekend). I didn't realize it was such an odd affront.
