Buhl failed to record a single hit in 70 at-bats in 1962, the worst single-season batting performance in major league history — specifically, the record for most at-bats in a hitless season. (Sporting News Baseball Record Book, 2007, p.19)

put bob saget roast part 1 part 2, etc
preachermancubsfan - August 24, 2008

Emelie - August 24, 2008

INSANELY DIRTY though
preachermancubsfan - August 24, 2008

Wow!
According to Willie Harris, if you root for the visiting team at Wrigley, you’re going to get into a fight.
PhillyCub - August 24, 2008
Typical comment from a bonehead ex-Sox player!
Just let it go, the Cubs will always be the team in Chicago.
Itchy - August 24, 2008

Yea..
Respect the crown!
Bump Bailey - August 24, 2008
Harden is unreal!
BrewCrew'sPrinceofDarkness - August 24, 2008
At this rate the game'll be over by 2:30
Go Harden!
Emelie - August 24, 2008
Hope not, that means we don't get on base either
but I know what you meant
flachimesa - August 24, 2008
Okay, Cubs
Let’s go score a TON of runs!
DWChaney - August 24, 2008
how close do we need to watch Harden?
since this is a “day” game?
MOCubsfan - August 24, 2008
it's pretty cool
70 degrees.drewishdrewid - August 24, 2008
gawd I love multi-tasking
watching the cubs, reading the paper, blogging … life doesn’t get better than this
Emelie - August 24, 2008
yep,
cubs and reading the DRF…gotta find a winner here! I’d prefer the one at Wrigley!
Gibbon Jockey - August 24, 2008
which paper?
BrewCrew'sPrinceofDarkness - August 24, 2008

daily2b - August 24, 2008
Sounds like we need to get our
small ball goin’ on…
The Deputy Mayor of Rush Street - August 24, 2008
Good AB by Theriot so far....
zevkalman - August 24, 2008
Theriot's seen a lot of pitches this AB
me likey
DWChaney - August 24, 2008
Both Lee and Ward have good numbers against Bergmann
Ward is playing 1B today, giving Lee a break to rest his back
flachimesa - August 24, 2008
happy bats I wanna see happy bats
Emelie - August 24, 2008
ugh
belliard
daily2b - August 24, 2008
Theriot, STOP THAT!!!!!
zevkalman - August 24, 2008
let me guess...
he got caught stealing?
DWChaney - August 24, 2008
No, he stole the base...but it looked to me like it was way too close. He didn't get a good jump.
zevkalman - August 24, 2008
he made it, but barely
Emelie - August 24, 2008
and they talked about how much of a good jump he got, too.
that should tell us something. You’d think it would tell HIM something, but he’s not getting it.
drewishdrewid - August 24, 2008
little on the dense side if you ask me
I know… I should just leave it alone…
Emelie - August 24, 2008

If it's even possible...
I hate the cowboys even more since moving down here. I did get to see the Texans hand the Cowboys a humiliating defeat in the franchise’s first game.

WORST MOVIE EVER!
BrewCrew'sPrinceofDarkness - August 24, 2008
loved the book though.
eswan9 - August 24, 2008
You obviously have never seen Red Zone Cuba.
cwyers - August 24, 2008
either one qualifies as worst
1. Bend it like Beckham
2. From Justin to kelly
eswan9 - August 24, 2008
Again, someone else who has never seen Red Zone Cuba.
cwyers - August 24, 2008
sorry gotta go with what I have seen
eswan9 - August 24, 2008
I guarantee you.
Red Zone Cuba is quite possibly the worst movie ever made.
cwyers - August 24, 2008
I'm going to have to rent it now...
Hopefully it has something in it to laugh at.
Bump Bailey - August 24, 2008
If you get the MST3K version there's some chuckles to be had.
cwyers - August 24, 2008
wow it does sound like a bad flick
according to Wikipedia
eswan9 - August 24, 2008
Oh, that's a must see then..lol..
Bump Bailey - August 24, 2008
What about the Dragonlance movie cwyers?
eswan9 - August 24, 2008
The only Dragonlance movie I'm aware of is the cartoon that had Kiefer Sutherland in it.
Am I missing one?
cwyers - August 24, 2008
yeah thats it.
eswan9 - August 24, 2008
Haven't had a chance to watch it yet.
cwyers - August 24, 2008
well don't spend a lot of money to get it
maybe no more that 2 bucks, or so.
Also I hear the Clone Wars movie is pretty bad as well. Man we could start a thread on just this topic.
eswan9 - August 24, 2008
Or Dune..
Maybe not bad bad…but totally boring.

LAcarl519 - August 24, 2008
Here here!
Craig in South Bend - August 24, 2008
That at bat and steal shows why Theriot sucks and should be DFAed now
because His AB was not a HR and he didn’t manage make it to second base before the pitchers throw made it to home plate.
BrewCrew'sPrinceofDarkness - August 24, 2008
DeRo makes the catch
Girl Cubs fans across America swoon.
BrewCrew'sPrinceofDarkness - August 24, 2008
Nasty nasty Harden
Emelie - August 24, 2008
hey I didn't post that as a reply? BCB messing with my posting phht.
Emelie - August 24, 2008
What if DeRo were to throw out a runner tagging at 3rd?
The Deputy Mayor of Rush Street - August 24, 2008
from Right Field?
I’d want to know if he got a bionic arm over the ASG.

Four games… four home runs. 7 HRs in 16 games.

BrewCrew'sPrinceofDarkness - August 24, 2008
he's one of the tops but there's so many to choose from
Emelie - August 24, 2008
Nope
but a good one

Here's to Harden going 0-5 today (unless he lays down a few sacrifices)
that will mean the bats are alive.
LAcarl519 - August 24, 2008
5 plate appearances by your starting pitcher
is NEVER a bad thing.
The Deputy Mayor of Rush Street - August 24, 2008
Harden looks so akward at the plate
BrewCrew'sPrinceofDarkness - August 24, 2008
Good time to be joining back up with the chat
Craig in South Bend - August 24, 2008
Remember Harden's first AB with the Cubs?
they told him to bunt and he kept looking in the dugout as if to say, “OOOOKayyyyy…. you really want me to try this?!” It was funny,
Emelie - August 24, 2008
Chris Farley voice...
“that was awsome”.
Bump Bailey - August 24, 2008
Soriano with a batting eye?
The Deputy Mayor of Rush Street - August 24, 2008
This week he's been playing well both offense AND defense. Hope he keeps it up.

and...
Buhl failed to record a single hit in 70 at-bats in 1962, the worst single-season batting performance in major league history — specifically, the record for most at-bats in a hitless season. (Sporting News Baseball Record Book, 2007, p.19)
