Hey, Kershaw!

First base is open… mather has a lot of power… you don’t want to pitch to him, right?

i'm so pissed that my first first was taken away from me..

I feel like i got my first big league hit and the game was rained out before the 5th inning.

So I went to the game over lunch...

and sat with my buddy in my old season ticket seats in the left center bleachers and caught Manny’s 2-run bomb in the third.

bleacher folks were telling me to throw it back

my response was two-fold:
1. that is a cubs tradition
2. he is going to the hall of fame, no way i throw it back

now if we can just pull out a comeback , it will make for the perfect day.

Don't fall for it

it’s like that crazy girlfriend you had back in college. Just when you are going to break up with her, she takes you to a baseball game, treats you like a king. Have a great night, get back to your apartment and she starts complaining again about how messy you live and that your job isn’t good enough to get a better apartment.

Just dump her already.

he shouldn't hit

a righty is pitching it should be schu or ankiel PHing

There's the rub

switch-hitter. No excuse to PH for him without admitting that he’s a dog.

What would a better lineup have been?

Skip can’t hit lefties.

Rick is still hurt.

Molina gets afternoon games off all the time, especially with another early one tomorrow.

What exactly would you have done differently? We had chances, blame the guys that couldn’t get hits with runners on. Blame Glaus. Blame Mather.
