Then he'll start doing a weekly editorial for the Tampa Tribune.

Plain and simple: This is a stupid idea!

Did you see last week when they picked Cincy to win the World Series? I guess they had the same record, ERA and batting average as Aneheim did at this point last year. There were a bunch of similarities.

We can't afford this guy. Not with the sorry ass season ticket base we have.

Sorry - Fat finger syndrome!

I think we're looking at 15-17 wins. Very good from the guy that was supposed to be your number 5 guy.

I agree. When you're talking about a 165 game season, I think heart comes into play just about as much as talent. We had it in 2000, let's get it back for this year.

Bye bye Twinkies! Now you know why Bud wanted to contract you!

2 games. The opener (Damn wind, damn rain, damn cold) The Tuesday game against KC (Damn idiot Cub fans running on the field) Sox record: 1-1

Say it ain't so, Baggs. I think there's another very good speech in that movie that gets forgotten a lot: Well, you know I... I never got to bat in the major leagues. I would have liked to have had that chance. Just once. To stare down a big league pitcher. To stare him down, and just as he goes into his windup, wink. Make him think you know something he doesn't. That's what I wish for. Chance to squint at a sky so blue that it hurts your eyes just to look at it. To feel the tingling in your arm as you connect with the ball. To run the bases -- stretch a double into a triple, and flop face-first into third, wrap your arms around the bag. That's my wish, Ray Kinsella. That's my wish. And is there enough magic out there in the moonlight to make this dream come true?

"85% of the world is working..... the other 15% come out here (for day baseball). RIP THOSE MOTHERf***ERS! RIP THOSE COCKING COCKSUCKERS!"----- Lee Elia in an '83 tirade about Cub "fans" Today is the 20th anniversary of that tirade.

This sets the tone for the next month. Let's start off on the right foot, fellas!

That, right there...says it all.

It's not a jinx when they're talking about it in the past tense, like on Sports Center.

I hate the term "no-no"

Can't make it this weekend. Family in tonight, Bachelor party Saturday, softball on Sunday. When it warms up I'll go to some more games. Then I can take the little one (10 months).

"Imagine Boston without the Red Sox. Imagine Chicago without the Cubs. What would these people talk about?" he said. Huh? I guess we would all just become a bunch of deaf-mutes without the Cubs?

cwsox, I totally agree with you! I sit in the upper deck and I love it up there! You want better seats? Pay for 'em! I think people moving to better, more expensive seats is a form of theft, albeit very small theft. Just stay in the seats you paid for. You'd save everybody a lot of trouble. Michelle, I swear, you better stop bashing the upper deck!

Was it a US Cellular cell phone?

I think he IS concentrating on his own play and he's not playing too badly. Now, he figures, as a team leader, it's his job to call some people out. He said he tried it in the locker room and pretty much didn't get a reaction. Now he's trying it in the press. Do I agree with going public? Probably not, but if it works and the Sox sweep Minnesota handily this weekend, I'll lie and say I thought it was a good idea all along.

It?

I think you're right about her being born sometime in February.

Thanks. I just have to teach her how to keep score now. She already knows that Cubs, Cub fans, Packers and Democrats are all bad!

How old is Sage's girl now? I saw them on opening day, but didn't get to talk to them too much.

I'm a guy, do you REALLY think I know what size she is? Guys don't know those sorts of things. I don't think she's taller than the turnstiles. She's 10 months old.
