I must kill the Pirates!
And Chip!
Carlos, please, do the latter. You’ll only become the most loved pitcher in Chicago.
But the former would, of course, be nice as well.
Chip just told me if we go all the way this year he’ll shave his eyebrows off. I told that if he and his wife went all the way I’d shave mine off.
Um…BC? Second most beloved pitcher, at best.
Um…Kerry? Why would Zambrano be taking over your number two spot?
Um Kerry and Mark…Both of you are mistaken. I am the most beloved pitcher in Chicago, I mean was in Chicago.
Hey Andy, how’d that Desipio NBA Fantasy League turn out? You know, the one with 16 teams? Did you finish first?
Why does Yahoo have Wuertz name showing up?
I think I did finish first in that league. Or last. Or 15th. Does it really matter?
Grumble, grumble.
I thought basketball ended with the NAA Championships.
make that NCAA
Somebody please tell me Wuertz isn’t pitching.
Zambrano started, don’t know who will finish.
We’re sick of being walked all over by Kendall and Mondesi!!
Oops! Slipped! Sorry!
Must kill umpire.
"If I was a righthander, I’d hate to face Todd Walker."
Uh, aren’t I righthanded?
Anyone?
Corey Patterson, 2 homers, 2 RBI
E-Ramis 2 homers, 2 RBI
Not a lot of baserunners, eh?
Am I going to walk?
Hey how about that…I walked!!!
I moved the runners over buddy
Srew you guys I’m calling balls that should be balls stirkes!!
What do you suppose the over/under would be for Ramirez to move into cleanup and Alou to be bumped down?
Uh, 3 homers, five RBI, jerkoff.
Screw you Pirates!!
Tomorrow, Mike D. Tomorrow
Not trying to be obnoxious, but I have to point out that my suggestion came moments BEFORE Aramis’ dinger.
Woof.
Mike – looks like a good time to buy a lottery ticket.
Mike please make more statements like that
3-1 on both sides of town. Yep, my two-billed Sox/Cubs hat is getting god use today.
I can’t bunt. At all.
I’m not watching the game but hve there been arguments at all on balls and strikes today?
What do you suppose the over/under would be for a vulture to swoop over from Lake Michigan, west towards Wrigley Field, to the broadcast booth, and peck Chip Caray to a tortuous, slow death.
(fingers crossed)
That depends on whether or not I can buy a vulture off of ebay.
We don’t peck things that aren’t dead. For instance we can peck on Chip’s career, but not his carcass. Now, if Carlos should let a fastball slip and hit Chip in the head and kill him (or even cause a coma–we could just ASSUME he’s dead) then we can talk.
Yahoo says Josh Fogg is pitching to Jack Wilson.
That doesn’t seem fair.
There haven’t really been any arguments with the home plate ump. Moises looked like he wanted to kill the ump with his bat at one point and Carlos stomped around the mound yelling at "himself" after a bad call.
Yeah, I’m sure he was telling "himself" to "call it a f@#$ing strike, moran!"
Whatever.
Right now the "s" is for single.
Who knew?
CBS sportsline make it looks like the umpire has been hosing some calls.
CBS sportsline make it looks like the umpire has been hosing some calls.
I’m doing it again. That thing where I start a sentence and don’t know how to finish it.
"Barrett has a lofty……….300 batting average."
Lofty? Gawd, I’m an idiot.
Now Andy, my life is sports reporting. But how do you earn a living AND watch every Cubs game live? Overnight shift at Belvedere Assembly?
How about a lofty eight RBI?
Wow, the Cubs have a real 3rd baseman. Did A-Gone just single?
Kiss your ass goodbye oh and your job too.
A catcher who can hit? This is not my father’s Cub team.
Am I a genius or what?
Petrbilt-
On the radio call, Santo sounds like wants to beat the crap out of the ump (Cousy?).
Then again, Andy’s watching it and it doesn’t appear so. Santo’s pretty funny today, though.
Yes I can actually hit
I’m taping so I’ll watch it when I get home.
Um, yeah, Michael’s a very nice hitter, but I had a couple nice years too.
OK with everyone if I put this one out of reach?
I’m getting lag all over the place, what’s the score now?
nevermind
5-1 cubbies
And when I say "put this one out of reach" I mean hit into an inning ending double play.
Is that out of reach?
By the way, I do work and actually took some time off the last two Mondays to bring you all the wonders of GameCasts. There will be times, like today for example, when I’ll be able to keep an eye on the game, but not really "watch" it.
So, hah!
And no, I can’t get you a deal on a Dodge Neon.
How about a used Buick Century?
Who wants a Dodge Neon?
The paint on those things peel like dead skin.
There goes my gold glove
Derrek, next time don’t wear the gold glove in the field. And get some damn hits, you’re killing my fantasy team.
You guys miss me?
Maybe but the SRT-4 is a sweet ride if your into modding your car. There a 500hp one out there somewhere.
We make Neons! Everybody loves Neons!
Well, Dolan doesn’t work here, so maybe he doesn’t love them. But you’d better or we’ll send the Teamsters to "convince" you.
I’m coming…
I’m coming…
There’s a Jim Edmonds joke there somewhere.
First of all, Derrek got screwed with his "error", because he still beat Kendall to the bag. Larry Young, who is a complete moran, blew the call.
Secondly, Derrek stepped on my foot, and that bastard has big feet.
I screwed up yesterday because it was my birthday…after staying out until 5 a.m. this morning, drinking and swinging with a couple of hot American chicks, I’m sure I will be ready, willing and able to go an inning or so later on today…
I need a nap, though.
Bases loaded one out.
You want the 1-2-3 double play or a 4-6-3?
And screw intentional walks.
3 will be fine.
Thanks.
Big Frank hits a big fly and the Sox are up 5-2….
Bases loaded? Ah crap.
Did the official scorer give Mondesi an error on the flyball he butchered or did Chip just want him to get one?
He lost the ball in the sun and didn’t touch him, the rulebook (of which Chip is clueless) says it’s a hit, not an error. No exceptions.
70+ pitches and I’m not out of the third yet?
Me duele el brazo. Y mi Achilles tambien!
Thank you, Chris Stynes.
Remember me on Opening Day 2002? I was at third, Todd Hundley was catching, Rosie Brown was in right field and Hall-of-Famer Delino DeShields was manning second…those were some great days…
Santo said the score guy gave Mondi an error too.
And did someone mention Jim Edmonds? He’s been spotted in Ocalc, FL.
http://www.starbanner.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20040415/NEWS/204150320/1001/news01
Does anybody not know by now that the baserunners go on a full count with two outs? Just who does Steve think he’s educating when he says it EVERY TIME?
Here we go again!
Andy you have to remember that most people are idiots.
I’m sure the dog molester’s place of business is so glad he wore his work shirt with their name and his name on it to court.
I hit the "error" to Mondesi, you’ll see that changed to a hit after the game. What a dumbass.
Broadcasters should also be fined for these gems:
"Two-out walks always come back to haunt you."
"You can’t walk the pitcher."
"They’ll trade the run for the out."
"Sometimes you just need to go out there and settle a young pitcher down."
Did anyone read Edmonds statements about the Astros in USA Today this morning?
Andy, you have to remember that Mike Murphy is probably watching the game.
Don’t you love us?
Hey guys, just checking in. Oh yeah, I just hit another HR!
He also had a classic whiny comment in this morning’s Post about how tired the team is of traveling, etc.
Of course, they just wrapped up a 7-game HOME STAND and it is only April 14.
If they are tired now…well…you know…
I love the ugly blue tops, and that’s all that matters. Anybody who wants to argue can get in line behind the St. Louis Cardinals for an ass kicking.
Dear Other,
That’s 3/4ths of my repetoire!!!
See…I kill them in order now!
Yahoo STILL shows Michael Wuertz in there. I thought maybe Z killed someone, and had to be removed from premises. I guess Yahoo just plain sucks.
I do keel someone! But nobody make me leave.
Mich-ael, Mich-ael Barrett…
He’s the King of Wrigley Field.
Sloth,
Go to http://www.cbssportsline.com it works much better
Hey, Jody. Shut up and go fish, or whatever it is you rednecks do.
I’ve come back…I’m hitting right-handed now, but I’m sure no one will really mind…
I’ve seen the movie and it was good and all, but I cannot believe how much they keep shoving it down our throats over TV and radio. ‘Tis a bit irritating…
Thanks, big semi.
Josh Fogg sucks!
I keel you with ball AND bat!
When we go to dee sout sy and keel dee why sox, mebbe I am dee-aitch, too, man…
How come Chicago keeps scoring touchdowns against the Steel Curtain?
This wing-T formation cannot be stopped…
Don’t big Choi now lead the NL in dongs?
Better late than never, no?
Straight pitch, I hit very much.
BREAK OUT DA WHIPPIN’ STICKS, the Cubs are just PILING on the Buccos today
Not to worry, I’ll be back after I’m eligible for free agency. I love seeing karaoke in Chicago very much.
We’ll take it, Mo.
My job is safe for another week.
How far are they gonna go with Z? He is closing on 100 pitches in the fifth.
Man I could rake. When Corey starts to listen, he’ll be dangerous.
I no want to be known for the home run, now i want ot be known for doubles buddy.
Gotta get him through the 5th to get the W. I bet he pitches a min of 6, possibly into the 7th.
I CANNOT be stopped! You can only hope to contain me, big Zee!
Doesn’t Craig Wilson look like Sebastian Bach?
Sosa’s been a couple needles short of a few HR’s. I’m not saying, I’m just saying….
We’re on our feet, as our newest, bestest hero, Michael Bennett, bats 3rd this inning.
The Cubs can’t hit and can’t score runs. See, I wrote it.
http://www.usatoday.com/sports/baseball/2004-04-13-unexpected-starts_x.htm
Sorry I haven’t been able to check in. The good news is since I knew I wouldn’t be able to see any of the game until 3, I decided to put the good old video tape in and record this one. This might be fun to watch once the game ends… ;)
Choi doing this well isn’t that surprising.
And speaking of our pal Hee Seop, his replacement Derrek Lee just missed a homer to right center and strolls into second with a double. He’ll be just fine. I am going to guarantee you right now by August 15 that Derrek will have more homers and RBI’s then Hee Seop. But, of course, Choi’s OBP will be better so all the stat-hawks will say he is the most undervalued player in baseball. Or something dumb.
See, this is Lee’s problem, Aramis keeps clearing the bases for him before he comes up to bat.
Damn guys this is the second day in a row I havent got a hit. I want in on the fun!!
Relax, I hit my last three homers in that chicken coop in San Juan, it’s about a buck 19 down the right field line.
Take that Babe Barrett!
What the hell is sticking out of my hat? Is my head so big I had to cut a flap in the hat to squeeze it over my melon?
I’m only human guys
I think I’m going to start a petition to fire Paul Bako. Will anyone sign it?
No.
Like hell you will!
Greg, I don’t think you can protest until your ERA drops below 8.00.
I just want to show you how against this I was by posting the same thing twice.
Call me up! I’m smokin’ hot!
Bako’s a bum.

Uh, Dusty it’s 9-1 and I’ve thrown 117 pitches. How about the bullpen?
Yahoo wants Mike Wuertz to pitch, anyway.
Actually, at this point in time Lee’s OBP is 100 points higher than Choi’s. Lee will be fine. I just wish WE could go down to the chicken coop in San Juan.
Kent Mercker is warming up. I thought Chip was going to call him Juan Cruz for a moment.
BTW, Todd Walker is my favorite Cubs. Go Whitey!!
That Ocala story kills me.
Rotweiller? Everybody knows they’re ugly.
I’m a Collie man.
I don’t have any problems with Lee’s play as far as the Cubs go, but I took him in my fantasy league, and right now he’s producing nothing for me in terms of HR’s and RBI’s.
I no try to heet Meaningliss homeruns buddy
Hey, I managed my team to a win today. That oughta buy me another 3 days of employment.
I’m warming up in the bullpen! I might just give Yahoo! its wish
How about that!! Insurance Biatch!
Derrek is getting great practice at dropping balls onto the warning track in right center. But, hey, I’ll take it.
Hey guys I’m on base again in the same game!!
Derrek, you want those to be homers, man. Ask Sammy to hook you up, he knows a guy.
We don’t need no stinking bullpen — now drag your ass outta town, Tony Pena & Friends.
Should the reigning AL Manager of the Year really trot out a rotation of nothing but lefties against the White Sox? I theenk not….
That was some of the Wuertz pitching we’ve seen all year.
When everyone, including Goodwin gets in on the hit parade, Corey, you’re in a slump.
Belt + ran= Beltran
Um, when does the plane leave for Des Moines again?
Beltran, Wellemeyer, Wuertz…this is what we have to look forward to?
Come home soon Francis
Don’t forget about me!
Oh, I haven’t forgotten you Andy…
Next?
Couldn’t he have kept Beltran in a few more hitters so I could at least get the save?
Dave Parker, Jason Thompson, Eddie Milner, Willie Stargell…where did these guys come from?
We’ll see if I can string two good starts together beginning tomorrow. I think that I will. I’m much better than Professor Maddux.
That was a hair raising ending…
All right, heart rate is down.
This time we had better win more than one against those dumb Reds.
