if the cubs win today, it’s their first road sweep of the cards since i was 4
I heard that Paul suffered a major brain injury today — thank God. He hasn’t had a good, coherent thought in weeks.
I ruptured my groin!
Len says that Nomar completely tore the groin off the bone. Three months minimum, more likely he’s gone for the year.
He’s not the first guy to suffer groin trauma at Busch Stadium, though.
Sure, I’d be interested if the Cubs called.
Today I get first hit of year.
And it’ll be a home rrrrrun.
Well, sure. Maicer’s hitting almost ten points higher than Nomar.
He can pick it though.
If you want to release me and pay me in full, that’s okay with me…I want to do what’s best for the team.
Looks like Mia will be the man for a while…shit.
Don’t you remember you told me you love me baby?
Wasn’t I like, at, 40 every time I faced the Cubs.
Flail away Cubbies! It’s a travel day.
Don’t worry, Nomar. Today’s the day my foot finally falls off.
Don’t worry Nomar, you’re staying on the team, as long as McPhail remembered to mail the check for the insurance premium.
You cannot stop me.
Yup, that’s what I thought.
I’m 70. How the hell am I supposed to get Nefi’s slow roller?
I’m back in the 6th spot. Well, it’s not like you want a guy hitting over .400 to get a lot of ABs.
Why does Dusty hit our best/hottest hitter in the 6 hole?
Why am I hitting in front of Lee?
Cause it’s cloudy, dude.
Am I retarded? I sure look like I am.
433 miles from Des Moines to St. Louis.
Did I make it in time?
I sound like a broken record.
Hey, am I announcing?
How’s the visibility?
How was I ever a GM? I’m an idiot.
That’s what you get when you have Stone, Phillips (not Stone Phillips, to be sure) and Thorne in the booth. This is like 3 hours of talking, punctuated, mercifully, by commercials.
I even admire my singles…I am that old fashioned. Us cards play the game right.
You were the GM for the Mets, Steve, it’s not like you worked for a real major league team.
In case you couldn’t tell from last night, I hate Lassie.
Welcome to the club, Bruce.
I look thin, did I collapse into myself?
Bruce Froemming doesn’t like me!
pout
It’s an awfully circuitous route to St. Louis from Iowa, going through Illinois and all. I bet you could make better time using sideroads.
Hank White hit numero uno coming up…
I figure I owe the cubs about 10 payback calls for each year I’ve been umping.
Is this where I get started? In particular, a potential deal of Kerry Wood to Arlington for Michael Young.
Oh, it’s not?
Sorry about that.
Oh sure, now you come around.
Asshole.
According to Pat Hughes,
I’ve never homered in this shitbowl of a stadium.
You know why Ronny drove through Illinois on his way from Iowa to Missouri. He had to take a dump and he had to drive that far for indoor plumbing.
Uh oh, Lassie is getting upset… He and Bruce Froemming might be exchanging even more words by the time this one is over.
Translation: See you in some form of California jersey next year.
Edmonds: Lassie
Froeming: Mailman
Not so fast, we’ve all got shortstops signed to long term deals.
California Penal…
I’m 2-3 months from yesterday. If this prognosis is correct, I could be back in time for the All-Star Break.
If the Cubs are off a month, I could be a valuable bat in September.
For 1.5 million, and playing a corner outfield spot you are, Nomar. Enjoy the warm weather, cockface.
I’m not right, with this team I rarely am.
Prognosis…negative.
I WILL get my hit next inning.
Ronny won “Rookie of the Spring”?
WTF? Who the hell hands THAT out. Oh wait–I guess Dusty does.
Sorry it took so long for my first walk.
I am what Grudz will hit into…
Wrong.
How long before my first injury?
Wasn’t the “Rookie of the Spring” the guy who is currently rotting on the bench so that Hollandsworth can play in 130 games this year?
Hey, I was durable in my two seasons with the Cubs. I only missed four months.
Sure, I’m gonna use Cedeno. Right after I use Fontenot and Dubois.
Yeah, he is.
At the end of 2, it’s 0-0.
And Dempster has only given up one walk.
Feel my power…
Ronnie, take this route. It’ll save you 150 miles, but I wouldn’t call it very scenic.
At least we get to stay in nice hotels.
I am a complete butt dumpling.
Are there nice hotels in me?
Hey, it’s been more than two games and Len and Bob have yet to tout Albert for the Gold Glove! Did you see that hot smash from Blanco he just snared! He’s got a wife, kids, grandkids and great-grandkids to think of!
8 more games in April, Whitey would likely not start more than two of them, so he’s going to have ten more chances to crack his first hit before the calendar turns…
My jokes are funny to these shitbirds?
Who says you need new material?
Hey Chip,
Len made a point of saying that “Pujols has turned into a decent fielder at first.”
That’s about right, you Cardinal fellating sumbitch.
The second best thing about last night’s game was not having Cubs’ announcers sucking off the Cardinals, their bestiality loving manager and the world’s greatest inbreds…fans.
Steve, I hear ya…
Why do I suck?
I am not getting enough face time in the dugout. How am I supposed to intimidate you with my icy glare if you will not show me on the television!
Excuse me, I have to neuter a cat between innings.
Because we can.
Steve doesn’t need new material, he’s got a new audience.
And if he’s doing the ESPN Day Game every week, his audience is mainly shut ins, the infirmed and the unemployed.
You know…Cubs fans.
Was this an error, or did Pat really say “National League Championship Series”
Here’s Molina, this guy is gonna be some kind of special, folks.
Who would have thought that the Cardinals would be able to find a worse hitting catcher than Matheny?
Prediction: LaRussa praises Molina’s defense to the press every day this season, and Yad picks up the undeserved Gold Glove.
That’s right, Dolan. Eighty-five percent of the fuckin’ world is working. The other fifteen percent come out here. A fuckin’ playground for the cocksuckers.
Hello, Derrek.
We all stink.
I’m stuck at work. Is Dempster actually pitching a good game, or are the Cubs fielders just grabbing screaming line drives out of the air?
Why does espn feel the need to remind you that the game is me.
I look like I am shot putting the ball across the diamond.
Because we’re so popular!
Pujols is only 25!
I’ve decided to announce that the Cubs rotation really shouldn’t get injured any more if the Cubs want to win.
While I’m at it, why didn’t I mention that they need to score at least one more run than their opponents in most games if they want to win, and not letting their opponents score too many runs, that would be good too. I’m smart!
I even watch my popups!
I am not simplistic.
LaRussa is the best!
Time to implode.
Nice of Grud to not run the dropped third strike. He picked that up from Moises.
Mark,
That “Too cool to run after a dropped strike three” thing? That’s MY move.
The problem with letting Dumpster intentionally walk a hitter to load the bases is that he unintentionally walks so many.
Sorry, Andy. I guess Moises did it, too.
Hey ump, I will point at you at first until you ring him up!
There. Good.
I run to first, but I take about 10 seconds to throw my bat into the on deck circle before I leave.
Fuck you Chuck!
Oh wait– never mind.
Fuck you, Deipiots who call me lazy!
Now would be a GREAT time for my first hit…
I can’t be stopped.
Conundrum–
Holly to steal second to remove the DP. But then they’d walk Hank to face the pitcher.
Hit & run anyone?
Run against the great Yad Molina?!? That’s crazy!
Ack.
I made the wrong choice, turning down the double play.
Whitey’s hit was the same as a sac bunt. Now I’ve got to throw more pitches.
Is that a fielder’s choice double?
Karen knew she couldn’t double me up. I’m fast!
See, this is why NL games are only five innings long.
Just get a triple, Ryan.
Carpenter’s decison to not go 1-6-3 on Blanco’s bouncer cost him five more picthes, and the easy out to lead off the fifth…
Well, that’s something, now isn’t it?
Not if we lose this game 1-0.
Why aren’t Bob or Len wearing their red polo shirts today?
I would go 30-1 with .025 era in the NL. That’s what Coop tells me.
I have rocketed upwards over the past 5 minutes as no one has posted.
Hey, yeah, dis is Kissel, when you guys gonna come over here and fix my sink?
Sorry Productivity, it’s hard for me to do anything with this giant fork stuck in my back. Doesn’t this thing belong to Bagwell?
Catcher’s Interference?
Yeah, it was me.
Don’t worry, Cradinal fans. I feel like killing TWO ralleys today…
Everything we know about composure we learned from the 2004 Cubs.
What the hell happened? The Yahoo gamecast crapped out.
I led the league in SAC Flies in ’02 and ’03.
But last Friday I did my Sosa impression and swung from my ass.
What will it be today?
I crapped out too.
I need to get some of Pat Hughes’ Colon Blow!
is now
Burnitz up 2 out in the 6th..runners on 2nd and 3d and…
Nice job ARam. Stand there and let them tag you after you swing at a shit pitch.
Chuck was beginning his evil cackle when I grounded into a double play, except that I made contact with Yadier Molina’s glove, so it negated the DP. Then Karen Carpenter uncorked a wild pitch. A-Ram struck out though.
I struck out after being ahead 2-0.
When I am lecturing a manager on putting together a bad lineup, you know said manager is bad.
Nice to see our bats coming through. Nice to see our best hitter in the 6 hole too.
I’m feeling the pressure.
Great. I suppose it’s too much to ask for Burnitz to shorten up his swing and try to hit a single, isn’t it?
Thanks for the $ Jim. I look almost as lazy as Manny does. Except I’m not hitting.
I’m carrying the Cardinals feed.
Joe Buck and Al Hrabosky.
Mute.
Seriously guys, how about like 1 run when I start.
Really.
This Cardinals lineup is three good hitters, Albie, Lassie and Rolen, surrounded by absolute crap. And Rolen’s knee is ready to go at any moment.
And don’t forget, I’m 33 years old.
I was guessing ball.
I’m in slightly better shape than Nomar’s groin.
If you bastards think I’m gonna sit by and become the new Matt Clement, think again. I ain’t as crazy as Z, but if I don’t get some run support, I’m gonna tear somebody a new shithole.
What about me as one of the feared hitters?! I haven’t seen a dead body in my yard in like 3 months.
What is this? No Macias? Has Dusty figured it out?
That’s why nobody’s afraid of you Larry. Maybe you should kill another guy.
I’ll get you your run Ryan. I’m going to steal 2nd, 3rd, and home if this rookie doesn’t swing at everything.
I’m saving Macias for a tight situation like the top of the 8th or 9th.
Things have gone from bad to Wuertz.
I’m starting to get fatigued. I’m not used to throwing all these pitches. Shouldn’t Dusty be out here to get me by now?
I didn’t kill him. He was already dead when I found him.
13 pitches for Wuertz that inning.
New Record!
That could have been a lot “Wuertz”.
Sure Larry. My wife tells that same story about me.
Top of the 8th. 2 more innings to tie this bad bitch up.
We better not get blanked.
You think Nomore Groinaparra will sign a minor league deal with us next year? At least we save the 3 million in incentives he agreed to.
She’s gone from suck to blow.
This is my new last name, do you guys like it?
How can you waste a Hank White single? Unbelievable.
How can Derrek Lee be hitting 6th in this lineup? With Neifi! second! NEIFI!!
A 4-3 road trip blowing games the way they do Pit and Cinci doesn’t cut it.
We will all strike out over 100 times this year!! Yeah!!
Why did I leave my broadcast off mute for a half inning?
Joe Buck: “Is Carpenter pitching his heart out or what?”
Sure, if you can get calls on pitches that scrape the knuckles, you must be a fuckin hero or somethin.
In light of my past three appearances, I officially request that my name be changed from Dumpster. I’m not that bad. And drop the fucking walks already, I’ve only given up 3 each time. 3 isn’t that bad!
If I’m over .500 with this lineup Chuck, I can be considered successful, thereby “cutting it”.
Forget it, you got better when we started calling you Dumpster, so the nickname stays. It’s a term of endearment, like E-Ramis.
Look everybody! He didn’t leave Wuertz in to face Walker!
Typical Dusty logic was telling us that Wuertz would have pitched to 5 batters in the 8th before getting lifted, after giving up 2 runs or so.
why the hell does Dusty keep bringing in Remlinger to face lefties?! I don’t think Remlinger’s gotten the last 10 lefties out he’s faced.
J. Hairston Jr. 2B 0-4
ÂÂ
A. Ramirez 3B 0-3
J. Burnitz RF 0-3
Nice one, morans. You got out-hit by freaking Hank White!
I have hung about 15 curves so far. Aramis had a great one to hit and missed it. Also, I sure am getting the high strike.
“Dumpster” or “Dumpy” for me. Seems to work for the guy.
Three years and Dusty still can’t figure out that Remlinger can’t get lefties out.
I fucking suck…bad.
I don’t know MrSpeed, you tell me.
Cubs suck. It will be a season of WTF’s.
“that move by Dusty Baker is inexscusible”
Honestly, who didn’t see that coming?
Just great.
Gut feeling, bro.
Looks like Baker Basher will be at it big time today, great.
I…I…just don’t want to talk about it.
Remlinger has faced 12 lefties this year … 2 BB, 3 H, 3K, .300
Gamecast crapped out again – walker hr i assume?
Walker took a curtain call?
Walker homerun is correct.
And now Generalissimo is on 2nd.
Hah! I took the fork out of my back and put it in Remlinger!
The lefty-lefty match up is a “percentage move” in the totality, but not with Remlinger. You make a move based on aggregate percentages, or more accurate percentages based on the individual? I don’t understand it.
Well Dusty is going to get me for today.
I’d like to introduce you to the fuckup this game, Mike “Farnsworthless” Remlinger. Great move Dumby Dusty, that lefty-lefty matchup was perfect. Looks like your righty-righty matchup worked great with Albie too.
Why couldn’t you just stick with Wuertz? He was crusing along just perfect and you had to fuck it up Dusty.
Dusty just can’t manage a bullpen. The dumbfuck just doesn’t have a clue. He just really looks like an assclown.
FDF=Fuck Dusty Forever
Baker Basher
I’m delayed because of gamecast, but add another AB, H, and R to Remlinger’s vs. lefties stats.
For goddsake it’s spelled “dummy” not “dumby”, you fucking moran.
As if on queue…
If Dusty leaves Wuertz in and this happens, everyone’s calling Dusty an idiot for leaving Wuertz in that long.
I might be a village idiot, but maybe I’ll keep some fans because people still hate Baker Basher more than they hate me.
Scott Rolen looks a little like Dwayne from “The Office”.
Over
Is Basher referring to me?
If you want the lefty-lefty matchup, my vote is for either Rusch or Bartosh or some kid from the stands. Remlinger has proven he can’t get lefties out.
‘I fear we have awoken a sleeping giant’
This sucks.
Jim,
I wanted to second your nomination for Vice-President of my fan club too. You’d be an excellent addition to the Baker Basher team.
Baker Basher
P.S. Our bullpen consists of a bunch of ragarms that are washed up and are useless. The only good one in there is Wuertz and God forbid, Dusty to actually abuse him.
Homers off of Mike Remlinger and Chad Fox don’t warrant curtain calls, you inbred hicks.
If they did, batters all over the National League would be suffering from exhaustion.
Hey guys, does it really matter?
I gave up one — ONE — run, and it didn’t make any difference.
This team doesn’t know situational hitting.
Dear Bullpen,
I f#@!$%& hate you guys.
love,
The Dumpster
*sniff, sniff*…you guys smell a rally?
Yeah, neither do I.
I don’t think so, SD.
every morning, in the hotel room, Dusty makes little pieces of paper,
each with a player’s name, he puts them in his right hand, closes it,
and then starts shaking it, after 2 minutes he opens the hand and throws the pieces of paper, the 9 that are closer to the toilet (in that order) are what he calls THE LINEUP.
Thank you sooo much B.B. You are just the cat’s pajamas in my book!
At least Borowski will be back in May, and wither Scott Williamson?
Dear Situational Hitting,
I should have cc’d you on the last letter, but I didn’t so I’ll give you your own.
I f#$%%$& hate you!!!
love,
The Dumpster
Time to get 3 runs in the bottom of the 9th…
There was no excuse at all for Dusty to bring in Remlinger in that situation. First of all, Walker is hitting 444/565/722 in 18 at-bats against him. Secondly, Remlinger is much better against RH than LH (http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/players/splits3?statsId=4673&type=pitching). That’s not a small sample size fluke but the truth. If you don’t understand that you have no business managing in the majors. The use of lefty specialist is a way for the manager to deflect criticism from himself — “it’s not my fault that Remlinger didn’t perform as that’s what he’s being paid for” — the same way as bringing your closer in only in a save situation “no reason to bring in my best pitcher with 2 on in the eighth…he won’t get a save that way.”
Not a big Aramis fan right now. He looks like a guy we traded to the Orioles.
Lets all try to hit home-runs.
We got to plain to catch.
I’ve got to get me some honey roasted peanuts. Mmmmm….honey roasted….drool.
I also can’t spell.
Or hit.
Or be good.
We give up. Pathetic.
Thanks for swinging at the first pitch Cubbies. I’m getting tired and don’t know if I have enough “gas in the tank” to make it through this inning.
Please pile on me instead of piling on a big piece of shit that chews on a toothpick and has no concept on how to manage a major league baseball team. This thoughtless bastard put his best hitter down in the 6th spot. Think about who you’re bitching about. Who is the real moron you morons?
Baker Basher
Williamson had the Tommy John surgery, and unless he takes the Ryan Dempster track back to the majors I don’t know when he’ll be back. Maybe next year. But really, it’s not like anyone short of Eric Gagne would bring this bullpen to respectinbility.
But hey, the Derrek Lee guy is pretty good…
What’s left of Ron Santo said it right: when you’re down four, take a few pitches.
You’re pitching your heart out Karen…I love you.
Welp, two outs in the ninth. Hopefully I don’t get a blister.
We are basically ripping Dusty. It’s nice someone will do it, even if it’s us homos.
Dear Today’s Lineup,
Blow me, you inept assholes.
love,
The Dumpster
Too bad the peoples in Chicago can’t hear you do it, ESPN…you still blow the big one.
Just give a chance guys. I can tie up the game with a grand slam.
Basher, just because we don’t like Dusty, doesn’t mean we have to like you and your half page posts.
The enemy of my enemy, is not necessarily my friend.
Hey, Scotty…you want to borrow some of my average?
For those of you w/ESPN…
Did Stoney criticize Dustbag for bringing in piece fleck of fecal dust, Remlinger, to face a guy who KILLS him?
Did someone order a home run?
Hey, Derek….you want to borrow some wins?
Ahem.
Excuse me…
Did Stone rip Dusty for his bran-dead pitching moves?
Yes, we all did, even gary thorne.
Damn gamecast for being slow. I didn’t know I was getting pulled.
Planet wishful thinking- Barrett walks to load the bases and then Macias hits a pitch hit grand slam to tie the game. I didn’t think so either. Just thought I’d go to a happy place instead of all this bitching.
Baker Basher
Do you all want LEARN TO SPELL MY NAME?
According to CBS Sportsline, Nomar is available to pinch hit.
Looks like I’ll be watching the tivo of the 9th inning just to hear Dusty getting ripped on.
“Just thought I’d go to a happy place instead of all this bitching. ”
Coming from Baker Basher, that line is simply classic.
When you pinch hit a guy hitting .191 for a guy hitting .071, is it a wonder you just got shut out?
Out of curiousity for those watching the game, who was on deck when Barrett K’d?
Hey I just parked my car. What’d I miss?
This division is ours, you’ve already given up cubbies.
0-1 in the “Nomar Injured era”
It’s great that Baker Basher helpfully signs his post, otherwise we wouldn’t know who was writing them. It’s not like it says “Intrepid Reader Baker Basher” right above his posts, or anything.
I play for St. Louis….of course I don’t know how to speel.
Jose Macias was on deck according to Pat and Ron, making the Barrett strike out irrelevant.
Actually Mr Speed watch from the 7th on. Dusty gets ripped openly and slyly. Sometimes the silence says it all too, especially from stoney.
Thanks Brian,
That’s what I was worried about. I guess it doesn’t matter that we have a guy on the bench that routinely hit 30+ HR and 100+ RBI at AAA.
One thing about this game, I have to applaud the ESPN crew for stating the truth when questioning Dusty’s moves. No matter that they are homos, they are correct with their statements.
Our bullpen is bad, but Dusty makes these guys out to be at best single A pitchers at times. If you want play the numbers, play the numbers right you mindless prick.
FDF=Fuck Dusty Forever
Baker Basher
3 of us went 0-4 today. Wheeeeee!
Here’s something fun: Ryan Dempster has walked three batters in each of his 4 starts this season.
Well, the fucking sox won again, as if this day couldn’t get any worse. I’m gonna go drink myself to sleep.
Basher, do you have a name? And what idiots actually entrusted you with a job? I’d like to know so I can critique the job you’re doing once I’m axed.
you never, e-v-e-r pinch hit for Hank White
Baker Basher (aka: Jim) should be managing a big league ball club. He seems to have it all figured out. Under his skillful leadership, the team would go 162-0. Teams would just forfeit at his hands.
Hey, Hendry, I have an idea and the Tribune Co.’s Board of Directors are on board!
Send down Dubois, Fontenot and Cedeno. Baker won’t use them anyways. Now, what we’ll do is auction off 3 roster spots for each game the rest of the season. How many rich guys would spend THOUSANDS of dollars to spend a game in the Cubs dugout, wearing a uniform? Besides, if the game goes into extra innings, they can grab a bat and take a few swings. Let’s see. We have 146 games left. At 10,000 a game, we can pull in almost 4.5 million by auctioning off these roster spots!
It’s genius! Pure gold! Call Dusty and thank him for this opportunity!
Baker Basher thanks for managing me to the first ever perfect season.
Those damn Dolphins from the NFL can kiss my ass. I went 173-0 thanks to Baker Basher.
Hey Cub fans, I’m pitching tonight.
I always hate warming up for games, though, because I find it difficult to work on the “looking-over-my-shoulder-to-the-bullpen” move when I’m, you know, actually IN the bullpen.
from the dogpatch:
“I hope they are looking at us in the driver’s seat this year,” Grudzielanek said of the Cubs. “They made a lot of changes over there, and I’m not necessarily sure that they strengthened their team. It’s one of those things you look at and say, ‘What have they done to improve that team?'”
I guess since I’m off payroll I’m done licking Dusty’s ass, and the like.
I probably was put to use during that magic season. Why doesn’t Dusty Baker just hit reset and play it again?
Come on, Baker Basher, hop in and let’s drive to a happy place together. I’ve got room for a couple more if anyone else wants in.
NEIFI-VER is sweeeeeeeping the country !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Another DNP for “little Tyson” today.
He only got to the on-deck circle.
Look, my arm is as dead as Daryl Kile’s, and Karen Carpenter is an injury prone pussy. Walker is old, so is Edmonds. Rolen is in line for a new set of knees, and Molina sucks. This team is filled with question marks up and down the lineup, despite what Steve Phillips and Walt Jockety say. Is Jason Marquis really this dominant? Give it time. Jim Hendry has Speier waiting in the wings for a promotion come midseason win the cubs are 10 under.
Maybe I should get called up? I might do a little better pinch-hitting than Jose.
we are resenting the inference of trading for this clown.
Can we have the lesser back?
O’s, we’ll give you Hairston for your other Dominican problem, Tejada. If you want to make us take Sammy back, you have to throw in a couple arms.
Remember when I could be used to make this even funnier?
Ouch! Losing to the Cards today has definitely got the fans testy. To the person that signed in as Matt Morris, I hope you’re right about a promotion for Speier when we’re 10 out. Anybody to replace Dusty.
That idea about sending Dubois, Fontenot, and Cedeno down and then auctioning off those 3 roster spots is a bright one. The Tribune Co. needs to look into that one. They could maybe make back half the money they’ve lost with Nomar.
Tomorrow’s another day, so just relax. We’re .500 right now. It could be worse. We could have Jose Vizcaino starting at SS and Rey Sanchez starting at 2B or worse yet, Mike Brumley at SS and Paul Noce at 2B. At least Neifi has a Gold Glove under his belt and Hairston Jr. will keep Korey out of that leadoff position. Jerry may even get some bunts down for some hits.
Baker Basher
Thanks for the sanity.
I’m relaxed now.
“Cubs at satan’s minions”…..one day later and still laughing pretty hard about it
Bob Ryan accuses me of taking steroids in his column today.
I’ll admit, I’ve been suspicious of this before the injury. Guys do slump, but that was some slump and he looked slooow and weak. I hate to think it, but I wouldn’t be surprised if Nomar was comin’ off the juice.
