[M&M Guy]

Interesting, the Cubs fight amongst themselves, and turn into the hottest team in baseball.

So, the Brewers are trying it:

I'm hoping the sequel is never as good as the original.

I was going to watch tapes of the White Sox/Yankees series to get pitching tips...

Here's a stat from yesterday's game that amazes me (not the stat itself, but the fact that someone knows this and has kept track of this): the second inning of yesterday's White Sox/Yankee game, where they both scored 8 runs in each half of the inning, is the highest scoring second inning in major league history.

Ok, carry on.

Nobody "give"? "Nobody" is singular; "give" is plural.

This just in.......

Kerry Woods slipped on a Welcome mat entering the Chicago Cubs clubhouse this afternoon, and suffered what was described as a very mild sprain of his left ankle. He was immediately placed on the 730 day DL and is expected to return sometime in August, 2009.

It's true, it's true........

It's true, it's true........

You know it's bad when the Cubs are looking at signing David Beckham.

When asked why, the GM stated that they wanted someone "less injury prone" in their rotation.

Just heard that the Sox have lost their last 8 games in Seattle, with a bullpen ERA over 6.50. Lester makes his 3rd start, and he's pitched really well in his first two starts. Unfortunately, I'll be asleep by the end of the third inning.

Lemme bring you up to date.....

BoSox lost. Lester gave up 4 ER in 5 innings. Timlin looked like doodoo. JJ Putz is God.

Yankees won. Still no 500 HR for A-Rod. Shelley Duncan went 2-4. The kid is hot.

No homeruns for Mr. Potatohead either. He was 0-4.

The Brewers won and the Cubbies lost. The Brewers are now comfortably in first place and the sad-sack Cubs are fifth from last. Kerry Woods was activated and warmed up in the seventh inning. He was put back on the DL in the eighth.

Four more weeks and it's get-serious time.
