Rush sucks.

I agree with Oleg.

Opening Day is nothing more than the first of a 162 game season.  To put extra weight on it seems a bit silly.  I would imagine that pitching in the playoffs is nothing like pitching on Opening Day.  Sure, we get all excited about the new season and the players go out there wanting to impress, etc.  But come on.

You can just as easily point to his June/July and how it correlates with a Cubs resurgence.

Zambrano is your number 1 starter because he's the best pitcher.  Period.

Beyond delish.  The mediteranean bread as an appetizer is a must.

Follow that up with a sundae at Margies and angioplasty at Northwestern.

I saw a thing on TV about the pot pie, and was wondering how it tasted.

Since you gave a scouting report, I'll give you a pass on "delish".

To be fair, he did preface it with "Beyond".

Are you having a laugh?

Yes.  Yes I am.

These last two posts make me feel like Fletch at the air hangar.

Ball bearings.  It's all ball bearings these days.

Have we recruited Apex for the Cody's softball team, yet?

We need a brotha on the team...you know, to play during the games when the sun is still out.

Cody's at Paulina and Barry?

Quality joint.

I'll be there tonight after my softball game.

We play in a summer league.  There's another team that Geno sponsors who got a fall league team together that I'm playing with.

I'm with Mike...the place is balls-out.  They even treat Brooklynites with class, don't they, Fork?  And that juke box?!?!?!?!   I love the place.

Like they have a cherse, er, choice...great place. Excellent food - they have an extensive array of take-out menus.

Art of Pizza (see:  Feedbag) is one block away, so you actually get some decent thin crust quickly.

Still not fast enough for Fork.

Moe: This deep fryer can flash fry a buffalo in 30 seconds.
Homer: Oh, but I want it now!

A picture of Apex' bloody knuckles would go well with this.

So would this: http://www.printroom.com/ViewGalleryPhoto.asp?userid=cubsfanfoto&gallery_id=835128&image_id=2

Was Mike too cool to be in the picture?

Did you fellas act up enough for the Cubs to throw me out of my season tickets?

We were fine, although Apex and Slaky were sure to trample over my own personal cardinal rule of no cussing.  So outside of a few f-bombs and a handful of cocksuckers, we were golden.

Also, i didn't mean to come off as a class warrior by justifying Apex' Fletch-like punch of the Garvey pic because Sluggers charges so much for beer...so let me say that the destruction of property was warranted because said destruction of property was Steve Fucking Garvey in a Fucking Padres uniform at eye level.  What's wrong with those people?

One time, while wasted at Sluggers, I took out some anger on an Odibe McDowell picture.  The bouncer was cool at first, then dragged my ass out when I tried to actually take the picture off the wall.

Steve Garvey...jebus.

Also, as a supplement to Marmol, I'm still holding out hope for Wood.  I just don't trust Howry.

Said it a million times--the deal with Howry is that he's one of those odd guys that pitches BETTER when he's used frequently. When he gets infrequent work, he sucks. When did Howry pitch his best this year? Answer--when Dempster was out.

Another reliever with an odd usage pattern is Mike Wuertz. When he starts an inning fresh, he stinks. But when he comes in with men on base, he's money (2nd best pctg for not letting inherited runners score in the NL....behind the Marmot).

Will F. Ohman is an oddball, too. If he's used in a major league baseball game, he sucks.

Kerry Wood, I dunno, love the guy like everyone else, but he strikes me as more of a circus curiosity than anything else. Bit player.

That's some funny shit, right there.

I thought 10 million was the bonus.  If it was that amount and not 3.2 mil, isn't a little jackassery called for?

I haven't checked, but there's NO WAY that his bonus is 10MM.  He may have signed a contract for a total of 10MM, but that would be a major league deal so he would have to be put on the 40 man roster.  I can't imagine Hendry doing that for a 17 year old.  Those kinds of contracts are given out to college guys who are at most a year away form the majors.  See Prior, Mark and Teixiera, Mark.

The next two games are the most important games of the year.

Until the two after that.

Then the two after those.

And then the two after those.  Oh, you get the idea.

Last night's loss was rough, but only because of how close they came to a completely improbable win when Murton and Fontenot just missed homers in the ninth.  I was encouraged by the way they kept fighting back, which we hadn't seen in a while, and that the Cubs actually hit three homers in one game.  Of course, in true Cubs fashion, three solo homers.

Why do you have to positive the white guys near-homers, but poo-poo the black and Latino blasts?

Racist.

Everyone get off the ledge.  Leave BC on his own out there.  The Cubs will be fine.  Tonight they face some turd named Phil Dumatrait, who is letting people hit .395 off him this year.  And we've got Ted Lilly going.  He's going to murder the Reds.  8-1 Cubs win.

Of course, you meant literally, correct?
