Lets hope for a win, the sad thing is that I don’t know if the brewers or cubs will ever lose again. Edmonds hit his 16th today but why do I feel like he would have been on the DL twice with 2 dingers if the cards would have kept him.
Hoping for a flood

Brewers and Cubs play each other…......so they have to lose at some point!
Edmonds will land on the DL yet.
The Brewers and Cubs will forget about the Cards, who will come back to make a race out of it when someone unexpected gets hot.
This season has been way to weird to end in a predictable fashion (or at least I hope that is the case).

Cubs/Brewers games
will probably get rained out…..

You'll climb the wrist-thick kudzu vines that wrap the Sears Tower. And when you look down, you'll see tiny figures pounding corn, laying strips of venison on the empty carpool lane of some abandoned superhighway.

If you are NEVER even coming close to selling out games (or 10% of the seats) in the upper deck
why not just give out free upper deck tickets, and let concessions make you money? An empty stadium is a completely stupid thing to have.

I work at a concert venue.
If tickets don’t sell out, there’ll be a ‘competition’ for tickets that everyone who enters wins, and then beer prices will be jacked up. It normally balances out.

I've rarely been to a concert that isn't close to full
But these Marlins games are embarrasingly empty. And the same thing with the Expos back in the day. They should just give away tickets to the upper deck. It would be a fantastic advertising thing, too

they could build the greatest staduim in the world
and they still would never sell out a game. MLB has no business being in south Florida.
it was a stupid, stupid move & it’s going to continue embarrassing MLB till they get the Fish out of there.

I think you're on to something
Remember during the 2006 playoffs when the A’s just closed their upper deck? That was interesting. A problem with your idea though…let’s say they gave away free upper deck tickets – would anyone ever buy seats for the lower deck? I just imagine a strange scene where all the fans are in the upper deck.
by jdub176 on Aug 13, 2008 7:28 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Have the ushers at the gates down to the lower deck
If you sell a few fewer lower deck tickets, you’ll make the difference in money back in concessions. Especially since people will have this attitude like “the game’s free, might as well get a beer”

Canto hit a weak foul ball
that slowly rolled up the first base line, went about 10 feet foul, then at the last minute curved way back & came into fair ground about a foot before the first base bag. Albert picked it up & tagged first for the out.

I assume you're talking about the grounder by Cantu?
If so, depends on what you’re trying to accomplish. If the other team’s trying to give you an out in the first inning, might as well take it especially if the guys not running. Now if he was bustin’ it down the line, then yeah you touch it foul since you aren’t going to get an out at by letting it role fair.

but I’m only recognizing one inning and it can only be against Chan Ho Park.
In the world I see--you are stalking elk through the damp canyon forests around the ruins of Rockefeller Center. You'll wear leather clothes that will last you the rest of your life. You'll climb the wrist-thick kudzu vines that wrap the Sears Tower. And when you look down, you'll see tiny figures pounding corn, laying strips of venison on the empty carpool lane of some abandoned superhighway.

true
this whole thing got blown out of proportion, but I think it’s a bit of a myth that D. Lee is such an amazing defender. don’t get me wrong, he’s second only to Pujols, and I’m sure that at one time D. Lee was better, but recently I’d have to go with APu.

Kinda funny if he did actually get banned and then the team came back to win 6-4.

and you can’t tell me Lee is better either. Lee makes more plays where he dives instantly. Pujols makes more acrobatic(?) plays?

i think they have equal range and fielding ability
btu i would take dlee’s ability to dig that ball out of the dirt not that albert is bad at it i just dont know if i can remember ever seeing dlee miss one, plus he has been playing the position just a bit longer
by doug_4409 on Aug 13, 2008 8:31 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
I've seen both of them
miss one this year. And I’ve seen Albert play ALOT more games.

dlee can get to balls 4-5 inches higher than pujols can on high throws…

this
was an explanation for similar range numbers, giving pujols better range around the ball.
i think APu is a better fielder.

I was saying
that his extra reach goes not just up, but also to the side, therefore making throws that are more offline easier to handle, and then saying that, if both pujols and DLee’s fielding range is similar, it’s more impressive with pujols who has to be more aware of and perform better defensive plays to reach balls that would otherwise be out of his reach and in DLee’s reach.
Sorry, I had a long day, I don’t think i’m relaying the point that i mean to…

because of the decline he was entering, he didnt want to accept a reduced role, and he asked to be traded; preferably to a team out west.

D. thrown out at the plate
