My senior year, 2002, our girls varsity team was in the regional semifinal or final against Lake Zurich, at Lake Zurich. Both schools had a ton of student fans there. We had a superstar, Lindsay Richards, who was friends with a lot of us. She now plays for Iowa. Anyway, great game. About 30 seconds left, we have the ball up by 1. Ball under our own hoop coming back from a timeout. So basically we are going to control the ball and wait to be fouled. The inbounds pass goes to our class valedictorian, Megan, right under the basket, slightly to the right. She proceeds to put the ball off the glass and into our own hoop. LZ's students absolutely erupt. We sit there with blank stares - no one even says a word, we are so stunned. Just blank stares. Megan realizes she put the ball in the wrong hoop after the LZ crowd goes nuts, and starts balling all over the place. LZ takes the lead. We go on to lose. "Only in girls basketball," i said in the parking lot. This will probably go down as my #1 memory from high school.

Santana only pitches 1/5 games, that doesn't guarantee them anything.

In honor of today's "Friday Fung" (Ozzie Guillen: Fung is winning and winning is fung) on the Boers and Bernstein show (today at 1:00), i thought it'd be cool to share some of our own forgettable sports moments. The one i can think of off the top of my head happened during summer high school baseball of my sophomore-going-into-junior year. Get up there and smacked one to the RCF gap, got almost to 2nd and decided to stretch it to a triple. Beat the throw in sliding headfirst. I was pumped. What a day to start off the game. Taking my lead off of third i put my head down to make sure i'm in foul territory. As i look back up, the third baseman is holding the ball in his mitt and gently tags me in the chest. The left handed pitcher was watching me the whole time and fired over right when i put my head down. Hey, sweet triple. All for nothing because i'm out before a pitch was even thrown. Feel free to share some stories.

Even if you lost all your cookies, you'll only have this problem for a day or two, really, because you'll have read almost everything on the front pages of the different forums.

I'm in in a month or so....

North can't talk sports either, he doesn't know hardly anything about them

What's more sick is Bowden used that as FSU's slogan that year

LMAO, that's a long list of cubs moments in history

They go away when we play up to full potential and widen the gap...not so much them going away as us pulling away, i guess.

I heard North might be moving to the mornings

Dusty Baker should be suspended 5 games for letting his team turn into a bunch of 8 year olds.

His numbers are better...and watching them pitch all year, i think Jon is the better pitcher. Loaiza has had nothing for a while now.

Loaiza is behind Garland in my book until he proves otherwise. Hopefully he can keep this ship smooth sailing tomorrow, because this could be a huge hot streak that vaults us into a nice lead in the division

Wrigley is undergoing a full inspection starting tomorrow at 6am

See, i don't think the dumbest thing is choosing when to take them. That is bad, but i think the whole "you can appeal this and get at least a game taken off of your suspension, almost every time" routine is complete crap.

I mentioned this when Thomas was made unavailable 2 weeks ago...i don't know why Thomas going down was any reason to bring Maggs back from injury, possibly too soon, instead of letting him rehab it more and take some at bats in the minors.

Well i missed it, so i don't mind it. A lot of stuff that has been reposted, i didn't catch the first time if i wasn't on a day or two in a row.

Supposed to ump in Arlington Heights after work...

Nice

Hey, good find Heads

Saw it as well, the end of that his absolutely hilarious, he hops across the screen

Good luck. Politte is fine in my book. Schoe's last start was good, hope he can build on it.

Have we ever been mentioned that much? You don't need rumors to pull off deals

I'm probly going to be there all 3 games. Soxnbears and CWSGuy and I are planning to go together sunday and tailgate

Now you are arguing something totally different..
