Bump. Hey, hey did go 4-for-4 this afternoon, right?

Yep, in June like weather

Bump-san

A two run double on a picture perfect at bat, which followed a perfect bunt that lead to a run.  Fuke has more than a clue out there (and the Cubs come back from 3 down to 2 up).

Also, was at my cousin's baby's baptism when Kermy met Sally.  Cold as shit in the shade.

I also believe that game was one of the two instances thats season that Corey Patterson was IBB'ed in front of Sosa.  Imagine that.

Both times, Sosa failed to answer the affront to his gladiatorness.

Really?  I thought I remember being in shorts and a t-shirt.  But I've been wrong before.  Ask Mrs. Kerm.

If you were in shorts and a t-shirt Kerm, you were freezing.  I remember the 16 inning game as well, as my wife threw a surprise 35th birthday party for me (at a suite at the park).  Overcast and misty in the 40s if I remember, most of the guests stayed inside.  Sosa's 'big' 47 hop single won that one (but I'm sure Chip said he crushed it), so the IBB backfired on Yosimite Sam.

Why the hell was Crane Kenney ALL OVER the goddamn place?

Also, It's Gonna Happen Guy must be stopped.

From the Jockey:

Quote
When Kosuke Fukudome hit a three-run homer off Milwaukee closer Eric Gagne to tie the season opener in the bottom of the ninth inning Monday, fans all over Wrigley Field held up professionally made signs with English words on one side and Japanese on the other.

It was meant to be a two-sided version of the phrase "It's Gonna Happen." But something got lost in translation, and the Japanese side read: "It's An Accident."

Doh

As was, ironically, the It's Gonna Happen Guy

Top 9th and Top 10th were mild harshes to my opening day mellow (and I wansn't thrilled about Kerry coming in in a 0-0 tie), but Fukudome-san is a good thing.

The fact that baseball is back is a better thing.

I wish to reiterate my inness for this venture.

Not sure if you've got me.  Me.

Just curious, but are there any women signed up?  SMG?  You out there?

I thought someone named Steph was going to go. Fork put her in charge of the Cheesecake Factory postgame.

Probably could get Kristen to go for about $12K (just as long as the game doesnt go into extras and/or Tracs isnt pitching).

Why argue? Grey Goose...JW Blue....there's room for both of those and much much more in the wonderful world of booze.

Indeed.

Three cheers for alcohol!

Hip Hip Hooray!

Oh, I forgot.  It is topped with a fried egg.

I can actually feel my blood slowing down just looking at the picture of that burger.  I want one so badly that if you turned up on my doorstep with one right now, you could have my first-born in exchange.

This is what Paula thinks of as "lite fare".  When her show comes on the Food Network either I or Mrs. Hawk invariably say "I wonder how she is going to try to kill us tonight".  Another example, bacon wrapped deep fried mac and cheese squares (with the mac and cheese made with sour cream, natch).

Bacon steak sauce party if Marquis takes Dempster with him.

Let's never mention bacon and those two in the same sentence.

I think Marquis may be upset if you associate him with bacon (not sure though as he is not good enough to make the pamphlet in any case).   Thank heavens for Lou-- a man who understands what the "earn it business" truly is.

I'd love to see Barriod playing left for the Cards.

Really?  Because I was sort of thinking it'd be bad for the Cubs if the Cardinals added a 1.045 OPS to their lineup.

Should that number be significant to me?  Good to see TLR becomming the Jerry Tarkanian of MLB.

Looks like Ken Tremendous is going back to his day job.

I'm a wet bag now.

That's "wet back," a racial slur that might be used by a guy making Jose Jimenez impersonations.

The draft is tentatively set for Sunday, March 16 at 12:30 p.m.  I originally had it set for the last day they'd let us draft (the 23rd of March) and then realized that was Easter.  So only Chuck would be there.  (Oh, I kill me.)

No love for Hawk?

As I have always preferred bitching about my team's GM than seeing my own shortcomings as one--I don't do the fantasy sports.

Count me in.

A couple of stories from the Milwaukee Journal Sentinal

http://www.jsonline.com/story/index.aspx?id=665342

QuoteYou hate the Cubs because they're from Chicago, period. No other excuses needed. But, just in case, you hate them even more when they start pulling out games in the ninth inning and you watch and hear those Wrigley Field fans who have suddenly put down their cell phones and covered up their tank tops and roar for - good grief, can there be any nickname in baseball lamer than this - the "Cubbies."

So what if they've waited around a century for another World Series title in Yuppieville, Wrigleyville or whatever they call that neighborhood of bars and a ballpark on Chicago's north side.

He's a little testy, isn't he?

Are people still slinging Yuppie around as an insult?  Is it still 1980?  Something tells me there are definitely a few "Yuppies" in Milwaukee.

I see no reason to bring the mascot for the departed Expos orginization into this.  Also, the fans were in the game last Wednesday, for example and standing for the third out of the first (and it got better from there) with no "clap signs" no jumbotrons etc.  The "beer garden with baseball" stereotype is dead as, well, Milwaukee.
