Yeah, I was kinda waiting for the Marte crucifiction/overreactions from last night... anyone???

Yeah the reason that no one was there Wed, was the same reason that everyone was there Tue. The weather. Plus who wants to spend $40 or $50 for a couple seats to sit out in that cold, when you can watch on TV, and wait for more warmer days?

The question is how will Kansas City react to its first "bad" loss of the year? They made 3 errors, 8 walks, and other assorted gaffs. It'll be interesting to see if they come out with a lot of fire early, or let this get to them.

Or even slide through a second baseman on a double play...

supposedly two of the three who ran around on the OF were also. The middle one had a Kerry Wood jersey that he took off and twirled over his head.

it is as lame as one can get except for maybe Frances see no evil, say no evil, hear no evil policy.

It was said in an interview last night on the 10 o clock news in Chicago. Plus people on this board who were at the game saw him with a Cub hat on, and the security holding it as they took him off of the field. I have been looking for a link also, but haven't been able to find one.

http://www2.bostonherald.com/sport/red_sox...not04162003.htm Here is a story about it. That is where they tell the amount of service he has.

games on a major league roster. 162 games (days) is a year.

They were saying he has 4 years and 115 days of service, just short of the 5 full years you need to be able to deny an option.

Yes, yes it is.

Has it been said yet if tonights game will happen?

How quick can you get more security there? 10K walkups aren't to be expected. How do you get more guards with an hour or two's notice? Because they are 10K walk ups they weren't figuring them on being there, how do you plan for that? i dont i expected a big walk up crowd..on the mlb boards i set the over under on attendance at just under 20k..others there were hoping for 30k...it was 80 plus degrees in chicago and a perfect night for baseball..we dont get too many april days like yesterday..a big walk up should have been expected Don't take it as I am defending anyone, but that is a crap shoot at best. To expect as many people as are ticket holders to just show up at a game is a big leap of faith. Yeah I figured there would be some walk ups, it is just 10,000 shocked me.

That's not the angle I was really going for. I liked the fact that the team stood up for Frank, and that Frank is fired up enough to care that he got hit twice.

I was looking for a link to the statements. There are some people who don't believe Cub fans could have done this! Ask Chad Krueter and Randy Myers what they are capable of!

Hey HSC where did you see the interview on???

In all seriousness, this one of the highlights to me of last nights game. Frank gets hit on the elbow for the 2nd time by the exact same pitcher, and saids something to him about it ("that's twice") the pitcher said something back so Frank was going to take him up on his offer. Then all of his teammates were out on the field WAY before the Royals were, including the bullpen, who was being led by Esteban Loiaza. I like the stick together attitude of it all.

Read my post in the contest room about why I hate the Cubs. There are plenty in there!

Coming from a guy who blasted his OWN fans, screw him.

Steff said that he had a Cubs hat with him. I haven't seen this anywhere else, but putting one and one together...

I gotcha. I was actually in the Brat line when Randa homered, and didn't see exactly where it landed. I thought it ended up in 160.

Zach out of curiousity, were you sitting in the front row of 159 with a crutch, in the 1917 jersey? If so I was sitting across the aisle from you guys!
