he's got a two hitter going... let him pitch

QUOTE(Jimbo @ May 19, 2006 -> 05:06 PM) can we get a quick synopsis?? Another fine cub fan post: "Eventually, after one of these butt whoopings, they are going to get sick of getting their butts kicked and do something about it....... like turn around and get kicked in the groin."

QUOTE(JimH @ May 19, 2006 -> 05:10 PM) Into the 9th inning, looks like Augustin Montero. Ah yes... the matador...

QUOTE(Jimbo @ May 19, 2006 -> 05:06 PM) can we get a quick synopsis?? well here's a post that represents a healthy sample of cub-fan rhetoric: "May I suggest that the Cubs simply don't show up tomorrow? The forfeit will go down at a 9-0 loss, but that's probably better than the blood bath that would happen if they actually played" Obviously a lot of b****ing about hendry, dusty, pierre, and pratically every one on the team.

Anyone wanna hear a bunch of whinning? go to the message boards at northsidebaseball.com Remember... no trolling... just laugh at their futility...

how many pitches that inning?

QUOTE(Heads22 @ May 19, 2006 -> 04:56 PM) Maybe we'll luck out and DJ will be up there. I thought I read on an earlier post that it would be DJ tommorow

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ May 19, 2006 -> 04:16 PM) So when should we bring in Boone? he will pinch hit for dye in the eight

QUOTE(GoSox05 @ May 19, 2006 -> 03:32 PM) we Cedeno, Blanco and Perez coming up. Watch out. Cedeno has two career home runs... he was batting third last week in the cubs lineup.... thats pretty bad...

QUOTE(Jimbo @ May 19, 2006 -> 03:30 PM) Cubs bullpen is 4x as good as ours no... I'd say no more than 3x as good as ours

QUOTE(CYGarland @ May 19, 2006 -> 03:29 PM) Time for AJ to go OPPO for a HR i'll take a single

QUOTE(rudylaw @ May 19, 2006 -> 02:57 PM) I love how that many people on Soxtalk have been saying "it's just another series now that we have won the World Series". "I don't care about this series more than any other" We if that were true would we have an 9 page game thread before the 1st pitch? great point

Ahh... the epic battle of good vs. evil continues. Right now, it feels a little irrelevant (in light of our world series crown). However, I'm sure in just a short time, I'll be swearing and cursing the cubs just like I did for the first 25 years of my life prior to winning the world series.

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ May 17, 2006 -> 03:48 PM) I am pretty proud of myself. Read the entire book in 3 days, actually about 12 hours total. Can't wait for the movie. Not only for Tom Hank's role as Robert Langdon but also how they portray the story and whether they actually use the monuments and places in the story. I'm afraid they'll mess this one up. It is going to be difficult to get into the historical detail the book did. The book took so many breaks from the actual plot to explain religious/symbolic history. Its what made the book so interesting... and i just don't think they can cover it in detail like in the book

wish I could watch it... Arsenal 1, Barca 0 Sol Campbel header assisted by Thierry Henry GameCast says Lehman is out with a red card. That sucks for arsenal. They are playing this game down one man and with their back-up goalie. with the 1-0 lead, they may shut it down and try to play tight defense for the rest of the game (if thats possible against a team like Barcelona)

This isn't game related... but thread related: One of these days, I would like to start a game thread... but frankly, I don't know how to make it stick. Can anyone explain the process.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ May 16, 2006 -> 03:26 PM) missing most of this game because of the Pearl Jam Concert, go get em boys. I'm going to miss seeing your avatar during the game thread

QUOTE(Heads22 @ May 16, 2006 -> 03:11 PM) Has the potential for a good matchup of young arms. agreed... kazmir is pretty good... or as larry david would say, "pretty pretty pretty pretty good."

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ May 14, 2006 -> 11:39 AM) Ok, I'm pretty sure there was a thread about the book before but I can't find it. So, anyways, I just got back into the book and am regretting putting it down in the 1st place. Right now, I'm at the part where Silas the Albino is about to go into the church in Paris to look for the keystone. My first impressions of the book were that of astonishment. It is rich in historical content and it truly paints a picture to the reader. No pun intended. Anyone else reading it at the moment? I am re-reading it now before the book comes out. Its funny to read your posts, because the first time I read it, I could not put it down either. To be honest, there is so much history built into the book that I don't know how they can replicate it in the movie. I'm looking forward to it though. The book is easily among the best I've read

QUOTE(Chisoxrd5 @ May 15, 2006 -> 01:58 PM) Seriously, does Willie Eyre slow the game down Steve Trachsel style out there? Jason Grimsley can bring a game to a grinding halt almost as well as Trachsel

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ May 15, 2006 -> 01:54 PM) I had Portillo's for the first time when I saw the Sox lose their lone playoff game last October. then you shall never have portillo's again

steal third scotty

Odds of getting hunter by deadline? you got a better chance playing pick-up sticks with your butt cheeks

QUOTE(RockRaines @ May 15, 2006 -> 10:19 AM) I had to give up all my tickets because I have to go to a wedding. that sucks...

We got a good ole fashioned ass kicking last night.... lets turn it around
