Bleed Cubbie Blue

Day Into Night: Cubs 4, Indians 5; and Cubs vs. White Sox at Las Vegas, Wednesday 3/4, 9:05 CT

A lot of scrubs played in today's 5-4 Cubs loss to the Indians. Only Derrek Lee and Milton Bradley, among regular players (I'm not counting Joey Gathright and Aaron Miles as starters, although they probably got credit for being so, to give the Cubs the four "regulars" they usually are required to bring to road games), got the start today. Both went 1-for-3 before departing, Gathright leaving for a pinch-runner -- which probably is the first time that's ever happened to the speedy Gathright in any pro game, spring training or no. It was 77 degrees at game time, yet another above-normal temperature day. There seemed to be a fair number of Cubs fans in the smallish crowd of 5,352, judging from the applause I heard over the WGN radio broadcast when the Cubs did something good.

The biggest blows today were struck by Brad Snyder, a two-run single in the first inning, and a single and a triple by Nate Spears, who, surprisingly, participated in the Arizona Fall League (usually a showcase for prospects) and then was left unprotected in the Rule 5 draft. He wasn't invited to spring training, but got into this game because of all the extra players needed. Spears is a Mike Fontenot type who might have a shot at being a utility player in the majors; Snyder isn't really a prospect, but will probably be a starting OF at Iowa this year and might provide some injury protection.

Chad Gaudin had a shaky first inning and then settled down. Good news: he didn't walk anyone, and the rest of the game was pitched by guys who won't be on the major league roster. So, the 5-4 loss, which resulted from hits and walks given up by Justin Berg, doesn't mean all that much.

Bob Brenly's son Michael, who was drafted last year in one of the later rounds, was brought over to Goodyear with some of the other minor leaguers, but didn't get into the game. So, I thought I'd post this cubs.com article about him, just to give him some exposure. Michael Brenly isn't a top prospect, but if he can hit even a little bit, he's got a chance to perhaps be a backup catcher in the major leagues.

Now, on to tonight's matchup.

West Coast game start times already, and it's not even April yet... the Cubs and White Sox are meeting in early-March Las Vegas games on two weekdays, as opposed to the final-weekend-of-the-spring matchups with the Mariners and/or Padres they've had in Vegas the last two years.

The Cubs will be the "home" team tonight and bat last. Jeff Samardzija gets his second spring start and will face the Sox' John Danks. Here's MLB.com Gameday, in case you don't have access to the telecast on WGN-TV (announced by Len & Bob, as will be tomorrow afternoon's contest).

Discuss amongst yourselves.

Very informative

but I still don’t know which video game to buy.

Better start both a Fanshot and Fanpost
I did not delete the other two posts.

One such post would have been fine. Three was way too many in one day, that’s all I was saying.

Brenly article.

Thanks for linking Al. I hadn’t seen that before. Hopefully he continues to make progress and gets his shot.

It will be good to see Spellcheck in action tonight. Hopefully he has good command and can get through two quality innings. I would really like to see him be a major piece to the pitching staff.

perfect timing for the game tonight.

get to watch lost, then the game.

Hopefully

they’re not both lost.

Any Woody or DeRosa sightings yet?
dero's at the wbc

and i don’t think wood was at the game this morning.

and by morning i mean

early afternoon

at least dero playing for team usa

still makes him feel like he’s kind of on ‘my’ team…

This should induce a woody sighting..

that's the best

milton sighting ever.

I like the other girl better.

In the stands, video, all the guys doing double-takes.

The irony of this picture is Jenn Sterger (pictured above) and Erin Andrews

do not get along. Google both names and enjoy the cat fight.

That's Jenn Sterger?

I didn’t know that — thought it was just some random girl outside Wrigley.

contender 3

for spot 5 (shark). makes for avery interesting ST. i hope lou gives shark a chance to go 3 full innings!

Free Nate Spears!

Just wanted to add that.

I'll vote for that.
I'm so conflicted:

LOST

then

JAYHAWKS or CUBS

cubs!

who are these jayhawks you speak of?

Let's ...

I miss when people posted pictures of a "Crawdad attack"

Or of egg whites. I don’t think I’ve ever laughed any harder while on BCB.

I'm as giddy as a little boy right now!

first Cubs game of the season. hurray!

I'll

Definately be watching that one. First spring training game I will be able to actually see.

I'm here

Just got back from a game, Beat up on North 7-0, I wen’t 1-2 with a single and a run scored, before bein subbed since we were up 7-0

So this game is on WGN? Thats good.

Yeah but what's your UZR

and OPS+?

oh boy Becker is on!
starts at 9

this is an awesome surprise… what a nice treat after getting stuck in new england for 3 days.

hahaha

starts at 10 for me, so that means I’m like in the future….right?!?!?

xD

Starts at 7 for me.

it's about time to crack

an authentically krausened old style, and watch the game.

CHICAGO CUBS BASEBALL IS ON THE AIR
damn, beat me to it!
Sorry Chan

Is this the game thread for now?

now now its aight
And we're live from Las Vegas.

well, not me, the Cubs are.

Ahhh....gotta love hearing Len Kasper and Bob Brenly...

five years…

Len & Bob are doing tomorrow's game, too.
I saw that and thought it odd

it’s considered a Sox “home” game, right?

Strike that - looks like the Sox are "home" tonight
Odd, because Gameday has the Cubs listed as the home team tonight.
YEAH

Seems like it’s been forever.

It is music to my ears and soul

to hear Kasper and Brenly

First Pitch

Right around the corner.

>_<

Please don’t mention Peavy.

I'm siting here smiling like a goon
VROOM VROOM THE PARTY STARTER
the new battle cry?
Thank you

for making work a little bit brighter.
Can’t wait for it to actually count!

I CAN HAS BASEBALL!!! ON TV!!!

Sorry. When I found out today this game was on WGN, it made my day.

Well, since I started this last season, I have yet to post it this year...

Who’s all here?

Flachi is here
I'm here

Until I get pulled away from here

reporting for duty or a beer
here

now from tallahassee, sted of Atlanta

here but

alternating between Cubs and Bulls.

Hey, I'll join in.

I’m here for a little while, anyway. Can never make it to the ends of these late games.

little bit late, but

HERE!

hahaha Brenly

“everyone’s favorite White Sox A.J. Piereznski”

Given the opponent, perhaps a Troll Call is needed as well? ;-)

I'm waiting for Crawdad to report.
Damn.

That’s why Soriano bats first.

Dang

Fonzie gave it a ride.

geez, its really been half a decade since Len and Bob started, wow...
I love this

I’m playing MLB 2k9 on my big screen while watching the game on my little screen.

By the way, Theriot doesn't double clutch in the game
do you like it?

I got it yesterday. Its ok

It has really good gameplay, but not a ton of extras
Theriot pulling the ball?
Good point

He’s got to make it interesting every once in a while ;)

It shakes up the defense.

When they put the extra outfielder in there, though, he’s screwed.

The Riot gets the first hit of the night!
Scrappy = Single

We’re surprised because?

Trademark Theriot

single!

Scrappy Doo singles again
Bloop me!
heh, i'm not even gonna call it..
hurray! two on

and Soriano hit it hard too

AJ is such a jerk.

He can’t even keep the lines straight.

and you can.........

walk in a straight line

I would say fail

if I know what that meant.

This guy did a great job of walking in a straight line.

This may be Spring Training...

But it’s still the freakin’ Sox! Nice to see us get a coupla guys on in the first, look at the batters’ boxes!

Seems like

there’s quite a few empty seats.

I'd love to be there
I can't even tell you how exciting it is

to watch the beloved again on TV

Later, all! Tombstone's done! Back later...
AJ

Hope to see him catch a couple of foul balls off the mask and a couple off the cup!

wouldn't have any effect..
oh shut up
Welcome to BCB!

I’m glad to see your first comment on BCB very representative of White Sox fans: offensive!

actually its not offensive

that’s my player and i stand up for him

He’s an asshole. He was an asshole in Minnesota when I lived there, and no one liked him. He’s always been an asshole. Also:

GOD

that’s all you got you gotta do better than that. that’s old news. i’d rather have a pest of catcher that won me a world series than have futility

nope

we have spell and grammar check

oh wow

more male stupidity

WTF

go buy a sense of humor please

got one

haha

Soooo

What do you like about the the 2009 White Sox? Prepared to win the division?

mostly our first three starters,

that contreras is doing better, offense and bullpen

Huh?
oh lord

pay attention

Oh lord.

Complete a sentence.

you know what i didn't come on here

to be insulted by the likes of you

Exactly what did you come here for then?
you are insulting

the english language with your inability to type in a manner we can understand

i hate english
will you get drunk

and jump on the field, to beatt up an English major?

no i have more class than that
well, come back when you have no class...
that suits me just fine
but you skipped

english class

Not insulting.

I didn’t understand what you were saying and asked for some clarification.

that was a real piggish reply
Well then.

I’m interested in your feelings on BP’s projections:

Which can be found here.

I’ll summarize:

Cubs: 94-68, #1 in NL, first in division

White Sox: 75-87, #11 in AL, last in division

I'm still waiting for your reply...

cat
more animals

You're a male shovenistic pig Tim.
I can tell

by saying such a thing as

we have spell and grammar check
Well yah, because that is gender specific.
you are correct

however will I sleep tonight

That's nice.....now move on.
knicks suck, yankess sucks, mets suck... krypton sucks

can’t we all just get along?

My gameday seems to be stuck in preview.
Yeah, I see that too.

Here, try this link instead.

Thanks!

Looks like the REAL gameday!

aww he didn't go around!!
Too close to be checking the swing, though.
Right...

eh, it could have gone either way
Did you see...

… him swing his bat a good way past home plate? And Dudley Doright and Bob both seemed to agree with the um.

ump
Dudley Doright?
Len does sound like a cartoon character
well, i dunno bout that

though yall don’t have anything to gloat about when it comes to announcers..

Where we go...

With the Cubbies having a broadcaster who can’t complete a sentence coherently.

and you can say the same for Hawk

I’m gonna end this before it gets out of control, let’s just call a simple, agree to disagree

End on that dumb statement.

good!

ok, so now a personal insult huh

look I wasn’t trying to start something, but you just keep provoking..

It is not a personal insult...

… but that comment on Hawk is dumb. You do not like Hawk, fine. I can probably agree with you on that. But Hawk can complete a sentence coherently, unlike Santo whom I admire.

This is a stupid spring training game.

Save your crap for the real season, eh?

Do the White Sox have a SB Nation blog of their own?

thats a picture
You have an ugly sister.
That's my brother, the Cubbie fan
South Side Sox kick you out of the sandbox?
SSS is a bunch of douchebags

There are a few that know their stoff – colintj, larry, The Cheat – but the rest are meatheds for the most part.

Birds of a feather?

Please explain how you know the posters so well at South Side Sox?

Lurker? Troll? Please explain.

I pay attention to both teams

Don’t get bent. You’re the troll tonight.

But at Southside Sox...

… you admit to being a troll.

Just to let you know the playbook here is to claim that you “don’t give a damn about the Sox” even after you’re exposed as a hypocrite.

No, a troll just comments

contra to the host site’s team. I don’t do that on SSS.

I don't start shit

just to start shit. I’m objective and offer objective commentary.

I could claim the same too.
This is a reply to my "most are meatheads" comment -

is that what you meant to do?

Oh - you're saying that you're objective.

I got ya. I certainly welcome the opposing view. Just not when it’s blatantly “because – Cubs suck!!” bullshit

I don't think I've ever said...

… the Cubbies suck.

No, but posting the picture, etc, is

troll-esque.

Takes one to know one...

… and be sure to include your comment on “they’re meatheads” in your next post at Southside Sox.

Oh, and there goes that oft repeated Cubbie boast that “Cubbie fans don’t care about the Sox” and “are fixated on the Sox…”

I posted a chart below.

Should clear this right up.

hehe

baiting Sox fans is too easy

HUH? I just said I followed both teams.

I also follow the rest of the NL Central, AL Central, and all of baseball for that matter.

Simmer down, pot roast. You could have come on here and offered your obhservations; even some constructive criticism.

BTW there are meatheads on here, too, so does that make you feel better?

Um...

… that’s exactly what I do and what Cubbie fans here take offense about.

Agree to disagree.

I was just thinking about how much more seriously – TOO seriously, at times – we Cubs fans are taking ST; this game, for instance. Sox fans eat, drink and breathe their team as much as we do the Cubs, and I respect that. They just seem to be more low-key about it. Must be that the WS ring….

So...

…how does your picture posting skills fit in?

Pretty poorly when you get this far over in the margin.
I don't post pics too often

Seriously, now – would you be here if the Cubs were playing anyone else?

You mean my profile pic?

Is this better?

Reed's beard looks longer
I have to admit...

I like almost nothing about the Chicago White Sox. Just about nothing at all.

I'd take their trophy....
I dunno, I can't hate the Sox

Granddad grew up a Sox fan in southern Chicago, so I have some place in my heart for them

I like their players and manager

dislike ownership and park. Fans are a push – some good, some bad, some ugly… ;-)

I think non-Chicago fans (like me)

Particularly feel this way. There’s no “civic pride” element to it. I have no reason to root for the White Sox even a little, regardless of whom they play.

Reed Johnson

Needs to take a pair of scissors to that beard, he looks like a billy goat

Damn

We’ll get ’em next inning

Comparing Bob Dylan to Will.I.Am.

Atrocious.

i actually

like that whole commercial, but yeah, will.i.am is not a harbinger of change

For anyone who's having trouble with Gameday...

use this link.

That is a magnificent thing Reed has on his chin there.

I, for one, vote to keep the chin-mullet.

Doesn't Gaudin still have his...

…thing on his chin?

Goodness, I hope they're not having a competition.

It could get REAKLLY ugly over the Summer.

In a word, yes

That looks like a possum.
There's a Cajun joke in there somewhere....
Now I don't get the look.

Isn’t Gaudin single? Not a good look for the ladies.

I hereby dub it a "chullet"
Reed Johnson now = "Chin Mullet" or "Chullet"
a chullet

is a female mullet, so i’m not sure that works.

No, that's a chiclet.
Then I'll call him Chin Mullet

Anyone wants to call him Chullet can have at it …

so

if no one scores

then

it will be a ten inning tie

does sori get a "saved run"?
Dye looked the fool on that one!
come on Shark
this hoff's for you!


and you and you and you….

That's Bruce Miles in the shorts to Erin's left.
brUUUUUUUUUUUUce
What's that - Erin is in Bruce's shorts?
I didn't say that!
From the looks of Bruce, he ain't gettin' in anyone's shorts....

I got nuthin’ against the guy, but those shorts make him look rather silly…

"yeah, this party's totally lame, total sausage-fest, I'm gonna go to murphy's"

(I kid.)

nothing like a

5 dollar old style to make it feel like game day

Oblivious too!
C'mon. That vision and you see Bruce Miles

I didn’t see anything in the left half of that photo

Either Samardzija is leaving stuff up in the zone, or the wind is really pushing the ball out

I think it may be a bit of both.

yes

That split was up all inning

Well, at least the slider to Dye looked good
Any idea when WGN is going HD outside of Chicago?

SD in Florida….looks terrible on my big screen.

Also in the Bay Area
None of the spring training games are in HD.

ALL of the regular season games will be in HD.

Nationally?
As far as I know, yes.
But maybe you should email them and confirm this for sure.
well here in VA i can't find the channel

but hell I’ll just take a good old cubs game

DirecTV does not

have WGN in HD.

they said at the beginning of the broadcast

that all regular season games would be HD

Please let my local Comcast add WGN HD

It would help drive my fiancee even more crazy.

Can't wait to see them

in HD on the new tv

I used to hate it.

But now I’ve come to love that WGN is only a few years/decades behind normal television programming. It’s charming.

Actually, they're not.

Just doing the ST games in standard def.

no real need to

do a spring training game in hd. be nice, but not neccessary.

Becker...DaVinci's Inquest...AFV...the list goes on.
Shark not doing too hot

sure he’s getting outs but they are all flyball outs

The ball has been consistently up in the zone.
That'll work well at Wrigley

(Actually, until June, it will. Then … )

Any chance

cubs win 100?

I'll be happy if they win 11

As long as they’re the right 11 ;)

I'm pretty sure

we’d ALL like those ‘right 11’ :D

Don't care.

I’d like to win some f-ing playoff games.

Mike Restovich...

now there is a familiar face..

“Miles is also gonna be our backup behind Theriot at shortstop.”

—Lou miked up on WGN

(sigh)

ok ok, who left the bottle in the dugout??
"Looking for someone to help Ramirez"
actually, that'd be a good thing if Bud would let us have 10 fielders...
It's nice to hear Lou rhetoric live again
"fishing...golf..."
What a great American.
He likes Patton
I really hope he does well

David “The General” Patton….love it..

65-70 curve on the scouting scale is pretty impressive.
Can you explain better what that number actually stands for?
I dunno...

…but I believe 80 is the best you can get.

The scouting scale runs from 20-80

so a 50 curveball would be average, while an 80 is top-of-the-line. Lou giving a kid from Single-A a 65-70 curve is pretty good.

Shark's keeping the ball down, at least
Sori's in midseason form
midseason form is

a twisted ankle or broken finger, right? he’s early may, hopping about right now

I was referring to his fielding

The injury thing … eh, we’ll see

It's ok

It all averages out, according to this.

well...Shark hasn't been too impressive
I was hoping

for a better showing. :-(

yeah me too, looks like Marshall's lead has widened

So the rotation should go like

Zambrano-Dempster-Lilly-Harden-Marshall

Gotta keep the lefties split..

I don't mind that rotation at all.

Send Shark down to work and stay stretched out in case of injury

heilamn

has done nothing to show he can’t be the # 5

That was ... unconventional

But it was an out, so I won’t complain

And now I want some Juicy Fruit for some strange reason.
Have a good night, ladies and gents.

Enjoy the rest of the game.

FONZ PREDICTION HR!!!

EEEH!!!

so much for that

bunch of crap!

OT

Well now the Jayhawks are only down by 7. Were down by 18 or so in Lubbock at one point.

Putting on my

“The Riot” shirt right now if only because I now have a reason.

Do u feel scrappier?
About 12% scrappier

Albiet from the couch.

I could swear I saw Jermaine Dye move just now...
Well, I'm going in to other room to finish this game,

Later!

Take it easy.
Lying Eyes
Peaceful Easy Feeling.
One Love.
haha erm.....alrighty then! haha

good night to you too!

Erroneous

Dye didn’t even think he was hit.

xD

I was thinking the same thing

Erroneous X 2

Dye didn’t even think that made it over the wall. I don’t think it should count.

It's only spring training ... it's only spring training ... it's only spring training ...

No need to throw things …

crash, bang, boom, pow
Congrats.

You are a better drummer than Ringo.

I know its only spring training and he is young.

But is Jeff Spellcheck really that good of a prospect Ive never seen him be lights outs or any flashes of domination.

Dunno, prove me wrong thats what i want.

Thx!

A Live Arm.

However, still very rough around the edges.

He's young, still
samardzija

had one heckuva august last year

sheesh its just one bad game in that Vegas weather

I’m not too worried

Drummer

Definition “Drummer:” One who hangs around musicians

Reply button

Definition “reply button” The one you didn’t hit

:P

true friend

definition

a person who stabs you in the chest not the back

:=)

Well that works

good work EA

Not a HR

..but I’ll take it! :P

Whodat
Who are

you talking about?

The pretty lady
See the relply

feature following your name when you post? When you want to reply to a certain comment you need to use it. It helps with the flow of the conversation.

Taguchi

GRAND SLAM?!

LOL doubt it

inside the park GS?
has that ever

happened?
in recent memory anyway.

not that i know of
A two-run single is fine
Time to pinch-hit for a boy named So
Bases loaded, TWO OUTS -- AND -- AND ...

So Taguchi is coming to the plate. So much for that …

Yea..."so much for that"

Adda boy So

Bases loaded

..it’s all up to Taguchi now

looks like the shark

didn’t do so good…

TAGUCHI RBI!!!
Single!!

3-2

So.............

we scored. Sweet.

Way to go Taguchi!

Timely first hit

soriano's stats have him at

1 home run, and 1 rbi, which would’ve been his home run.

nice.

yeah let's get on sori for his st stats...
You bothered responding to that?
Yeah I'm just annoyed by all the Sori hating by our own
Guess hitter whiffs!!

What else is new??

Hart bringing the Heat!

95mph, then 98mph.

Pretty good

..so far

I had high hopes for the Hart

Attack after his 07 debut. Well…he gave me a heart attack in 08. He has the velocity…he just got killed on pitch location last year.

any relation to Leo Getz? ;-)
Are we sure Theriot isn't playing catcher?
samardzija

at least so far, seems to have had the most success coming out of the bp;

maybe that is where he belongs for now;

perhaps we can narrow the search for #5 to heilman or marshall

Agreed

I don’t think he’s got a good enough 3rd and 4th pitch yet

Time for a PSA!

When confronted with a Crawdad attack, you may ask yourself, “Where is that large automobile?” After you get the Talking Heads out of your brain, use this chart to tell if you should care about the White Sox game being played on any given day:

I applaud your Talking Heads reference
scrappy singles to lead it off
A Ram Double
Oh my god

Rammy didn’t sprint to first during a ST game. I’m waiting for the people to get on him for that…

trade him now to Balt for Hill and Pie
C'mon Hoff

A little late :(
demand a DNA test if she is late
Good try

but I think with the TV delay you didn’t get the picture up in time. It’s not Micah’s fault, it’s ours.

I hang my chullet in shame
- 1 R

late EA means no RBI for Hoff

Her body's rockin

but she’s not THAT hot in the face.

she has a face?

i know, bad bad bad tim

totally agree

I think it’s because she can talk sports that gives her the extra hotness points.

Len:

No question Hoff makes the roster

Blou:

No way Micah makes the roster. NONE!

Of course. What does Kasper know anyway........
only what is in his pocket rule book
That my friends, is what they call a hanging curve ball...
he shoulda just thrown the tee up there as well
That pitch was smoked!

DAMN IT! >=/

at WF that might be off the wall
or in the wall...
What are commentators going to do this year

without the Dero/Samardzija football tidbit? Oh yah, a Cubs 101 year drought reference.

they've got

the heilman/samardzija angle to work

Damn you're right!

Trade him now…

Oh don't worry

some marketing guys is drafting up “Cubs 101: Class is in Session” for some stupid campaign this year…

mmmm

that was pretty

Barbara Eden?
Please God, let Koyie beat out Bako...PLEASE!
nice rip mike

“and he will put on the… AFTERBURNER” haha len

LITTLE BABE RUTH
makes me wonder what Big Babe Ruth would look like legging out a triple...
like a freight train off the track
Y'know how those old films always make people look like they're moving really fast?

Not this time.

Benny Hill Music playing
Ever see a Hector Villanueva triple?

A lot like that, I would imagine.

(I actually saw this, once. The ball found its way into one of those odd knooks in Wrigley, and Hector was puffing his way around the bases. I forget if it was Harry or Steve that pointed out that it would have been an inside-the-park home run for almost anyone else in baseball. Hector looked like he was about to have a coronary.)

wtf was lou doing??

“Ok so llllook here guys, i had one stripper on this leg, and one on the other… then soulja boy came on, and i did this.”

I'm sure Bako is a nice guy

but I really dislike him as a player.

he's probably a total ass

which is why he keeps getting traded/released. or he’s just not good at baseball.

Well. The Jayhawks win a share of the Big 12 title and get murdered by a horrible, horrible Texas Tech team.

There is so much parity in CBB these days

nothing surprises me anymore

Tag up LBR!!
Anyone know what site is selling the Rascal Flatts at Wrigley tickets?
Season ticket holders get a chance tomorrow

I have NO interest in this but I don’t know if it possible for you to use our “code”. If you really want them I guess I could try to buy them for you if you would pay me back. You can e mail me at maddux2014 at g mail dot com.

I assume they go on sale to the public Sat.

Would somebody please hire Brenly already?!
I'm 99.9% sure he's already employed

and rather good at his job.

Depends on who you ask.....
Not a fan?
You must be new around here haha
Not that new.

Must have missed your anti-BB antics in the past. Or simply repressed them.

Yeah I haven't gone off lately.

It’s a work in progress. I’m taking it one day at a time.

I like Bob.

I think him and Len are pretty damn good together. Look at other teams, like the Reds or White Sox. And be happy.

Yep, I like

them too.

How ya been sue? Long time no time.
Good Dan, thanks for asking.

How have you been?

I'm ready for the season to start.

This off-season has felt much much longer than others. I don’t like the Bradley signing, trading for Heilman, or letting Wood/DeRosa go for Gregg and cap space. In contrast to a few of the last off-seasons, I like almost nothing about this one. I’m anxious to see if it works out.

I hated losing

DeRosa and Wood too. I’m looking forward to seeing how it all works out.

I know I know

I’m in the minority. I know better than to bring it up here on BCB. My fault.

bob just said

A little lube job

Night, all

Daddy’s gotta wake up early.

It's not even 9
tie game kiddies

the riot

He's amazingly scrappy
tie ball game

and the riot made it past first!!!!

he also hit to down the 3rd base line

how refreshing

Ah no

he “buggy whipped” it down the 3rd base line.

is Scrappilicious

too gay?

no

but bootylicious is

not that there's anything wrong with that...
Have you tried Scene It Seinfeld yet?
don't think so- what is it?
a game about nothing.
+1

Good one.

ah... right right right right right right...
Riot!

Mr. Scrappy will carry us to the promised land.

i didn't know the cubs were planning on moving the team to the middle east...
as long as it is not more than

180 feet from home

Exactly what did we resign Chad Fox?
It's just a minor league deal.
with a non roster invite to camp
Still waiting for a good reason.
he is only 38 years old
Anybody watch Fallon yet?

I think I’ll check out his third show tonight.

Dr. Phil is on Letterman right now talking about Octo-Mom...
Don't tell Billy Bush that.
Ive watched both of them.

They’ve been pretty bad. Very awkward at times. Not too funny.

i have not seen it

but have yet to hear one positive about it

He's a very poor interviewer

and the skits have been sub-par

I'd be nervous as hell.

I’ve read some reviews. Assuming he’s gonna be around for a long time, he’s got a ways to go. Heard him on Howard Stern today; he said the #5 show is gonna be better than #1, and the #50 is gonna be better than the #49. He’s right. He said he’s going to go balls out this first year—stick to stand up on the weekends to stay fresh and live, too. I’ve read THE ROOTS are great; I think it is real cool what they are doing…expanding themselves but still sticking to music. How great would it be to have a house band that can stick with Van Morrison, John Mayer, and Beyonce? Just great.

I respect him if nothing else for the balls it takes to tackle the gig.

I feel like things will probably get better. That said, I have never understood Fallon’s appeal. His infamous knack for laughing at his own often unfunny material can grow very aggravating.

The Roots however, have been sick.

Fallon had a pretty funny cd that came out

when i was a freshman at ISU… we used to get drunk and listen to it… he’s funnier with a 3 drink minimum

Robert De Niro = Horrible interview. I don’t blame that one on him.

This is true.

The network should have seen that coming.

On Stern today, Fallon said he had to personally call and ask each of his interviewees to be on the show. Kinda cool (and hard to do!) to ask each person individually to be on his show. I respect that.

i've got to ask

why is leno on right now? isn’t this conans spot? i’m getting confused as to who’s on when now.

I think it's a transition process.

Conan leaves, Fallon arrives. Leno slowly leads into Fallon and gains support for him, then Leno leaves. I dunno the time frame, however.

yea I don't think

a definitive date has been set. Could be wrong though.

I'm not sure

but I don’t think Conan’s new show starts for a few months yet.

yeah, I think Leno goes until May something, then Conan takes over that slot and Leno moves to prime time

If I were Conan, I’d start hanging around the studio during Jay’s last few weeks. Every now and then, just walk out on to the set during the show with tape measure in hand. measure the desk, check out the cushions on the chair, etc. etc.

lol, he should

Please tell me you're kidding.

God willing.
josh kroeger?
Van Dyke

Anyone know...

Hey, Andy White is up

I borrowed from a fellow BCB’er

CUBS TAKE THE LEAD!!

6-5 OMG ROLFCOPTER

Score one for Evolution!!!!
TO released!!

and the Cubs take the lead!!

Whoa.
I figured they'd keep him to help sell tickets to the new stadium.
interesting time to release him

like you said New stadium, and not a bad team

nobody else is carrying story yet
i saw a yahoo rumor mill from Feb stating he might be released or traded

but thats all

check out espn.com
I mean other than
dallascowboys.com

has nothing on it yet

I thought arrogant owner Jerry Jones

would keep him around to keep the Cowboys in the headlines and fans in his new stadium. Maybe he’s taking a new tack on things and trying to build a real team? But again it’s Jery Jones, maybe he wants himself to be in the spotlight, not TO…..

I saw it on ESPN

Oh the beauty of having two TVs on at the same time!

And Purple Dinosaurs!
Hanging Breaker from Guzman

Sigh.

I think the drunks have taken over the microphones on the field.
Reload the fireworks

Guzman is on the mound

next cubs sox game at wrigley

if the cubs hit a home run, they should have some of team come out of the dug out with sparklers.

some of "the" team

I’m not having the easiest time typing lately

German is a large man.

That’s all.

Someone might have already asked this but is the Extra innings in ST?
Well, nuts again.

No entry here, try another.

Hey, Doc,

Where’s the picture of the White Sox win flag?

Or did they forget how to spell “W” again?

You wouldn't recognize one of these flags...

Huh.

So, does that get you a head start on this season?

Oh. Didn’t think so. :P

Is your favorite band the 101ers?

Funny!

I prefer 1919.
