Thank you umpires for calling that correctly

I love how ESPN and Sportscenter reported the Ozzie quote as if Ozzie just said it. They failed to mention it was completely provoked by Pinella. I've had 4 cubs fans tell me how Ozzie needs to worry about the White Sox before calling Wrigley a bar. Boy was it nice to say actually Pinella should worry about something other then the Sox attendance.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jun 29, 2009 -> 01:00 AM) Ditto. I always loved hearing his commercials and I was/am a HUGE fan of Pitchmen. RIP Billy. Add another to the list.

QUOTE (T R U @ Jun 28, 2009 -> 10:30 PM) haha what? You're basically saying that the downside to XBOX is a lot of people have it and you play with them.. but if you have your own system you can choose to play by yourself anyways. No one can force you to play XBOX with them haha No my friends are split evenly so it doesn't matter to me. What im saying though is that everyone has xbox in college though so thats all you play, I never play anything online at school because its a hell of a lot more fun to do it in person so I go to other peoples rooms and apartments. It's nice to play PS3 and xbox instead of just playing on the same system over and over again. Its kind of hard to explain in text. But I'm not making this a "PS3 is better" argument I'm just saying playing on one system gets old so give yourself the opportunity to play on both. And nothing pisses me off more then the excuse after you beat someone as "well im not used to PS3, or im not used to xbox." Man up and master both systems if you think theres a difference.

QUOTE (T R U @ Jun 28, 2009 -> 09:12 PM) How is this a problem? Playing with other people is awesome, I wouldnt even want the system if I didnt have XBOX live or people to play with. Playing against people in NCAA, playing Rock Band/Guitar Hero, and playing against people online is the best thing about the system. I spend countless hours playing Call of Duty online, and its awesome. And I cant wait for the new NCAA to come out so I can start dominating online. Which reminds me, I am pretty sure this was a heavy PS3 user place.. but if anyone does have XBOX Live and wants to play sometime gimme your gamer tag. Because you play it in their room vs them all the time. So its nice to switch it up and play PS3 in your own room. But both systems have online play so it doesnt really matter. Unless all your friends have 1 specific system, and most of the people I play online with on a regular basis have PS3. But there are times when I wish I had live which is why I think im going to try and find a used cheap xbox soon.

The hate that Alexei has gotten on this board the past two days is sickening. He's been on fire with the bat, and made enough non routine plays to make up for his brain cramps. If Alexei doesn't homer today maybe the mental midget that is Zambrano throws a shut out. Not to mention he tied yesterdays game for us. Really with our bench options benching Alexei's bat is a stupid, deal with the defense while he is hitting like this. If I recall Cubano has said Alexei played mostly CF and 2B in cuba so this is basically his first full year at SS let alone at SS in MLB.

Chris Getz stole home

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jun 28, 2009 -> 05:58 PM) Considering the lawsuit Clemens filed against his former trainer, I find it hard to believe he is on the list. The list in this thread is BS. There would be some minor leaguers for sure, and why is everyone who has been implicated since on the list? You would think a couple wouldn't be on there. If the names were supposed to stay secret forever then Clemons wasen't too worried about it I bet and decided to try and save face.

This cant be real not enough no namers, and burnitz wouldnt have been listed twice. This is probably just someone throwing 104 names on a list for fun.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jun 28, 2009 -> 11:22 AM) I got a refurbished one. When the say refurbished, they pretty much mean new. There is no difference at all. The refurbs are better I've heard, because they are inspected before they're shipped unlike the new ones.

QUOTE (Cali @ Jun 22, 2009 -> 04:40 PM) Bryan Fuller leaving Heroes again...there does any hope for that show.... What? Why? Crap the series has been amazing only when he writes for it. Other then that its been garbage.

QUOTE (BearSox @ Jun 27, 2009 -> 09:33 PM) I'll probably get a 360 for college.... but the problem is, I'm addicted to the show. The past week+ has been hell for me. Don't EVERYONE has a 360 in college so thats all youll end up playing in other peoples rooms/places. Just get a PS3 when the price drops.

His source is Baseball Tonight. I haven't seen it anywhere else but there. This makes me laugh though all the praise the cubs fans have put upon him and now they have to hate them.

From his facebook:

Beckham is now hitting .200

QUOTE (kev211 @ Jun 20, 2009 -> 10:43 PM) I'm going to give poreda and that lineup a try. Except I think I'll put fields at 6 and Dye 3rd. What did you do in NL games? For me Konerko plays a mean 2B not the best range but he has not thrown anything away or botched one he could get to. Haha first game with that lineup retire the side 1-2-3. Then pods bunt single, and after 9 pitches a walk to ramirez then he quit. I can't hit but I can work walks its annoying.

QUOTE (BearSox @ Jun 20, 2009 -> 03:38 PM) I was so close to Veteran status too before my ps3 took a powder. I had won 10 out of my last 11 (vs. mainly vets and a couple guys who were close to vet status), was 2-3 games away from vet status, and was all ready for a Saturday filled with MLB The Show online... So sad! I am sick at pitching, but like you, my hitting leaves something to be desired. However, I have been getting better recently and have been raising my average and averaged around 3-5 runs a game in my hot streak. Also, I realized I don't K a lot, maybe 5 times a game at the most. My lineup was pretty solid... 1. Pods, CF (the majority of the time I led off the game with a bunt single) 2. Ramirez, SS 3. Fields, LF (I purposely put Fields here because I like to waste my first inning and get easy outs just in case I face an ass who quits if he gives up a run in the first, and he's a good hitter in the game) 4. Thome, DH 5. Konerko, 1B 6. Dye, RF 7. Pierzynski, 3B (he's really good defensively at 3B in the game, but lacks range) 8. Castro, C 9. Beckham/Getz, 2B I'm going to give poreda and that lineup a try. Except I think I'll put fields at 6 and Dye 3rd. What did you do in NL games? For me Konerko plays a mean 2B not the best range but he has not thrown anything away or botched one he could get to.

QUOTE (BearSox @ Jun 16, 2009 -> 11:48 AM) Aaron Poreda is a beast in MLB The Show. A running fastball that can get up to 98 (averages around 95-96), a 2 seam fastball that can get up to 96, a good slider, and a sick changeup... As soon as Q comes back, I'll be dominating Online. Right now, I use Castro as my catcher, AJP at 3B, and Fields in LF with Pods in CF for maximum offensive output. When CQ comes back, I'll either move Fields to 2B and take out Beckham or take out Casto. Last night I played a 20 inning game vs some kid who was the cubs. 0-0 until the top of the 20th and Alexei hit a 2 run homer. Richard shut them down in the bottom of the 20th for the 2-0 win. I can't hit for s*** but I can pitch with the best of them. I use Danks, and love him.

QUOTE (Greg Hibbard @ Jun 18, 2009 -> 10:49 AM) So every batter who comes up with a .180 batting average has a "reasonable" chance of getting a hit each and every time. Ok. Reasonable chance of getting a hit, and reasonable chance of getting to the world series are two complete opposites. It's pretty obvious that a major league ball player has a better chance of getting a hit in any one at bat then any team getting to the world series does in anyone season. Basically I'd jump on an 18% chance at getting to the world series, but I'd back away from an 18% chance of any player getting a hit. As would everyone on this board.

Lets go out an win the Civil Rights game.

Rain has past wrigley completly clear to the west too so we should be good for the rest of this game.
