In other words…… crown my ass.

For a second I was going to heart Lou for batting Theriot leadoff, but Pie’s simply riding pine.
Lou’s getting closer. He’s almost made the perfect lineup to make us nerds happy. So close.

Hi, I’m Mark DeRosa. When people make bad throws to first and award me first base on an error, I forget to touch first base and get tagged out anyway.

Pre
on April 20, 2007 at 1:46 pm
I’m from Des Moines and my whole family still lives there. They like it, and there’s been a lot of improvements in the last 5ish years as far as there being things to do and such. I would still imagine that Madison is about 5 times better although I haven’t made it up there in years.
AC

And we’re not Wisconsin. So we have that going for us.
Yeah, I’m trying to avoid the major negatives. A faux spelling gimmick and differing opinions on Matt Murton won’t make me wish ill on anyone. Now, if Apex hated Todd Walker, we’d have a problem.

Ahem.
Let the record state the score is 1-0 Cubs after 3 1/2 innings. Bullmoose just took care of GrandPujols, Rolen and Lassie in the 4th. The Cubs Dynamic Duo of Southpaws continues the positive.
We resume our regularly unscheduled anarchy.

Everytime I see Pujols and D Lee play against one another, I realize just how much of a fraud that whole “Pujols: the best in the bigs.” horseshit is. How can he be the best player in the MLB if he’s not even the best at his own position, in his own division. What a douche.

Henry
on April 20, 2007 at 3:13 pm
Hank tried to sac bunt. He popped it up and interfered with Molina trying to catch it. The ball dropped and the Cardinals threw around the diamond to get three outs.
But, since the ump ruled interference, it was just one out.
Izturis just struck out because he’s a piece of shit.

Lance Dickson's Arm
on April 20, 2007 at 3:14 pm
Apparently, (according to Hughes) Molina dropped the ball on purpose after the ball was popped into the air. The umps got together and decided that the infield fly should have been called…and they sent the runners back.
Ted Lilly got away with one earlier in the year where he was the bunter, and the umps failed to call the infield fly on a popped up attempt with bases loaded.
SD

DeRosa was at second because he had to wait for Jone’s hit to get through so it didn’t hit him.
Then, there was a crazy bunt that turned into a triple play but then Lou went out and it was just Blanco out. Everyone is confused.

One thing I do wish is that there was some system in baseball to explain to fans what the fuck happened in these situations. I’m not saying we need full NFL miked up umps, but it could get relayed to the PA announcer/tv/radio guys. It doesn’t need to be instantanious, but at some point.

Cedeno was attempting to steal, ball four was thrown. Cedeno has the right to touch 2b for free because of the walk…which he did as he was sliding. But because he he overslid the bag…Eckstein touched him, and he was ruled out.

A long discussion with my father-in-law over the Cedeno play resulted in me looking up the rules:
6.08
The batter becomes a runner and is entitled to first base without liability to be put out (provided he advances to and touches first base) when —
(a) Four “balls†have been called by the umpire;
Rule 6.08(a) Comment: A batter who is entitled to first base because of a base on balls must go to first base and touch the base before other base runners are forced to advance. This applies when bases are full and applies when a substitute runner is put into the game.
If, in advancing, the base runner thinks there is a play and he slides past the base before or after touching it he may be put out by the fielder tagging him. If he fails to touch the base to which he is entitled and attempts to advance beyond that base he may be put out by tagging him or the base he missed.
I hate Ronny Cedeno.

Well that was fun.
Frustrated at the lack of description of weird plays, I headed over to the same place I went to on Saturday that’s filled with Old Sox fans–I go because it’s the only place with a tv that’s within 2 blocks of my office–and saw an even weirder play. Of course, none of the dumbfucks in the bar knew what was hapenning on the “pick-off” at second, and I about burst a vein explaining it to some Old Cubs fan.
Bad scene all around. I’d rather have stayed in my cube, brought back some Potbellys, and not known what the hell was going on.
And I blame Jock for extending the at-bat. That’s right, Ron Ce’s a fuckup, but I guess I’m a Hater and I’m still bringin’ it on Jones. The first Ball 4 nearly hit Piniella in the dugout, but ole’ Jock had his mind made up about matters. Yessir.

Where is everyone today?
Who are you, AC? And what have you done with Slaky?
I feel like there’s going to start being a lot of pitch outs with theriot on base
Mitch? Is that you Mitch!?!?
Oh for Christ’s sake…. If this is going to be such a problem for people (I though we settled this two WEEKS ago) give me a name so that I won’t be confused with everyone’s beloved Slaky.
In other words…… crown my ass.
I firmly believe that the Cubs are going to THRASH the Cardinals this weekend. I’m predicting a sweep.
Sounds good to me. Let’s have a repeat of last year.
Lighten up, Francis. Bad jokes die hard around here.
And where is our beloved Slaky?
Slaky already said he’d be Slaky on these here Gamecasts. There wouldn’t be as much confusion if we actually knew who this AC cat was!
I bet he’s up in me somewheres.
I’m batting Cleanup? WTF?
Ok, Aramis. Don’t do what Rolen did.
Thank you.

“Sounds good to me. Let’s have a repeat of last year.”
Does that include the extension to Jim Hendry’s contract?
Boy, the ass really falls out of me, doesn’t it?
Just a fan in Des Moines who is a transplant from Illinois who follows both Iowa and the Big Boys with much passion and gusto.
Beloved Slaky. Heh. He IS sort of a beloved, isn’t he?
I’m here for the raping of the Cardinal. I’m staying for their Budwesier.
What in Thee fuck was that.
You idiot, DeRosa. How hard is it to step on first while you run over the bag???
AC — Des Moines eh! Them’s some former SD stomping grounds. Should I move back? I’m so moving soon.
AC, you could just be “Slater” instead. That’d clear some things up for me.
DPappy… Okay, you got me, but you know what I mean.
I guess I want to actually sweep ALL the series as well, not just most of them.
God I sound like a moran today.
¿
Jock’s in center?!?!?
For a second I was going to heart Lou for batting Theriot leadoff, but Pie’s simply riding pine.
Lou’s getting closer. He’s almost made the perfect lineup to make us nerds happy. So close.
Welcome, AC. Don’t forget to register on teh messageboard and join the bullshit that goes on there. That’s where people who think Murton is *almost* as good as Soriano go to crack wise. But they’re not very wise.
Hi, I’m Mark DeRosa. When people make bad throws to first and award me first base on an error, I forget to touch first base and get tagged out anyway.
Hi, I’m the Chicago National League Baseball Club. When people play for me, running becomes calculus.
Nah I love Slaky. In that other-guy-who-could-be-a-woman-cuz-i-never-met-him-but-seems-like-a-funny-young-kid sort of way. Who doesn’t, dammit?
Nice fucking call. Douche.
SD – Well, the I-Cubs are doing a hell of a lot better than the Chi-Cubs this year, so now would be the time to do it – before Ohman gets sent here and we begin to suck.
Is Andy even alive? Must be stuck in the Library or something.
I’m holding AC to tell me on whether I should move to Des Moines or Madison. I won’t let this go.
Remember Sept. 05, 2001. I really stuck it to you bastards that night.
My opinion has been slightly leaned towards ‘no’ for the last x-amount of months.
angel hernandez is amazing in how he can be bad at every single aspect of umpiring
This guy Yadier can’t hurt you. He’s weak. Feel free to throw him a changeup over the heart of the plate.
Teddy with a nice 1-2-3 inning
Yeah, well, I came along 6 days later and REALLY stuck it to you.
If Apex died, I’d probably be okay with that
Much as I dislike Jock, he should be batting ahead of ponDeRosa. Looper’s a righty, right?
I guess Lou really holds a grudge, doesn’t he?
I’m from Des Moines and my whole family still lives there. They like it, and there’s been a lot of improvements in the last 5ish years as far as there being things to do and such. I would still imagine that Madison is about 5 times better although I haven’t made it up there in years.
Come to Des Moines – we’re much better than we used to be.
If you read yesterday’s “dose” you know he’s alive and kickin’. The funny at long last brought he.
Pancakes has me? By the time I reach 30 he’ll pull an ass muscle and be out for a month.
And we’re not Wisconsin. So we have that going for us.
Whoa. Not me.
Aw… EG. You were the one who said you wanted to rattle my cage. And now look at you. You’re a mess, man.
I was gonna say, thems some major league negatives, yo.
I’m glad it wasnt you cause I likes me some EG + Apex. In the Mike D.
Look what I can do….double !!!
CLANK. See how hard Henry scorches them mo’fos? Inside joke, my ass!
In front of DeRosa? Try, Jacqueshit should be batting in front of Koyie Hill.
Bees are in the what, now?
I wish a had a TV.
Did DUncan drop another one?
Yeah, I’m trying to avoid the major negatives. A faux spelling gimmick and differing opinions on Matt Murton won’t make me wish ill on anyone. Now, if Apex hated Todd Walker, we’d have a problem.
FYC!
Bring it on, Koyie.
WTF kinda name is that? Was your dad a Japanese fish?
1. Number of hits the 5-9 spots in the Cubs order are good for today.
2. Number of hittable pitches Lee and Ramirez are likely to see the rest of the day.

Sorry Mike, the rest of my post was cutoff. I have no idea why. I used hyphens, that might have been it. I was equating my like for EG and Apex to yours for Slaky. In the non gay way.
Wonder if this post will actually go unmolested.

I wonder why they felt the need to bench Pie today. It’s not like he’d need the rest, did they just figure the Satanic Fowl game is “too big” for a rook?
Len is talking about asking Angel Hernandez some questions after the game.
How about asking him if he’s legally fucking retarded. Ask DeRo that, too.
Ahem.
Let the record state the score is 1-0 Cubs after 3 1/2 innings. Bullmoose just took care of GrandPujols, Rolen and Lassie in the 4th. The Cubs Dynamic Duo of Southpaws continues the positive.

Lilly, giving Hill a run for Cy Young, takes the Cards 1-2-3 hitters and goes 1-2-3, Pujols whiffing to end the inning.
1-0 Cubs after 6. Let’s get some runs.
Dear Cubs offense,
Score some more freakin’ runs today!!! Do you really want the bullpen coming in to try to hold down a 1 run lead?
Thanks,
Ted
All weekend long, Pujols. Your ass is grass.
So maybe I’m #3, now?
Fuck, where’s my agent? I need to sign NOW.
DLee is due for his 1st home run of the year
Who died and made Braden Looper “Cy”?
Everytime I see Pujols and D Lee play against one another, I realize just how much of a fraud that whole “Pujols: the best in the bigs.” horseshit is. How can he be the best player in the MLB if he’s not even the best at his own position, in his own division. What a douche.
Sorry, Taylor. Lee gets me instead.
Looks like Lee’s broken wrist is still giving him problems with power, no?
Yeah, I have a real lack of power. That ball I hit over Andruw’s head the other night wasn’t a rocket or anything.
That cigar lasted 3 full innings.
Apex,
You ought to save that rant for after Lee bats. Then when he whiffs instead of homers, you can spare yourself having to say anything at all.
I was hitting ’em out in Spring Training wasn’t I?
Don’t worry about the power. It’ll come.
That would be the prudent thing to do, yeah.
Fuck it, I’m finishing this game myself.
Apex,
I love me some DLee…but you’re insane.
My wrists are fine. I haven’t hit any jonron yet either mang.
#133, I just did too…
#133, I just did too.
And your point is?
Son of a bitch
Yeah, I’m still in the Major Leagues.
September 5th, April 20th. No matter.
Preston Wilson haunts us.
C’mon! Braden Freaking Looper?!?!?!
Me? Really?
The Cubs are so far overdue to hit some goddman homeruns, Phillip Baker Hall from “Seinfeld” is liable to show up any minute.
What’s the tally anyway? Throw out the Monday tater-fest, and the Cubs have gone oh-for-Wrigley outside of Zambrano, no?
MLB.TV didn’t cut to commercial for the stretch for the first time this year!
I don’t care how much of a homer I am, I gotta see Ron’s stretches.
“Ron’s stretches” is an oxymoran of the highest caliber, but, yeah, I duncare.
Let’s get some God Man homers!
I’m sooooo proud of you Marky you didn’t ground into a double play. Of course you did lead off the inning, but still baby steps.
C’mon Hank!!!
I don’t either #145….
Wait, that doesn’t make sense.
1st and 2nd, no one out. I will happily start the process of stranding everyone.
I’m going to have to get creative fucking this up
All right guys, it’s crunch time. I could sure appreiate some description.
Was Jock’s single hard hit? If not, why is ponDeROsa on second and not third? Christ these guys are STILL station-to-station it seems.
henry has none of me this year
uh oh
My fucking jaw just hit the …
fuckfucfkudtghaweg
Damn GameChannel must be frozen.
I didn’t think I could do it that quickly, but I did!
Finding new ways to lose for the last 99 years!
What happened? Gameday is toast.
TRIPLE PLAYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!
Happened?
Dammit.
i am indestructable
wow.
That explains why GameDay is broken.
Seriously, can somebody describe?
No offense, SD, but your epithets without description suck major ballage.
That was amazing
i taunt you
We might have caught a break there, but why do our runners insist on throwing their hands up into the air in a gesture of not knowing what the fuck is going on AFTER the play is over?
If you don’t know what the fuck is going on as a baserunner, DON’T LEAVE THE FUCKING BAG!!!!
Bunt popout to catcher? What?
I know it’s hard, it sounds like a fucked up play happened, but many of us DO NOT HAVE RADIOS OR TV’S.
Seriously. I don’t mean to be an ingrate, but I’d be providing some detail for YOU fucks if I could see the game.
Apparently no one on earth knows what’s going on.
Gameday says that Hank bunts grounds out to the catcher, but the runners didn’t move. Huh?
Sorry Mike D. I’m just fumin’ away. I’d try and describe what happened, but I’m fuckin’ clueless.
Izturis K’s looking. Must be infield fly rule or something.
you no want crazy bread, I give you strikeout looking!
Yeah, how exactly is Pizza Pizza batting after a triple play?
Seems like nobody feels like imparting any information about what the fuck happened. I’ll just assume that I shouldn’t want to know.
Izzy you steaming pile of shit. Strikes out looking. 1st and 2nd with no outs and in typical Cubs fashion they will do nothing.
Daryle Ward will save us!
We’re screwed.
Hank tried to sac bunt. He popped it up and interfered with Molina trying to catch it. The ball dropped and the Cardinals threw around the diamond to get three outs.
But, since the ump ruled interference, it was just one out.
Izturis just struck out because he’s a piece of shit.
I’ll try and describe after this fucked up half-inning ceases.
Why don’t you practcie what you preach, and keep a cool head and not fly the fuck off the handle with anger then?
Thank you, #182.
Was that so hard?
Apparently, (according to Hughes) Molina dropped the ball on purpose after the ball was popped into the air. The umps got together and decided that the infield fly should have been called…and they sent the runners back.
Ted Lilly got away with one earlier in the year where he was the bunter, and the umps failed to call the infield fly on a popped up attempt with bases loaded.
I’m tryin’ Mike. Tryin’ real hard. Today being the day that it is makes it more difficult. I need to buck the fuck up though. You have all the right in the world to slap the shit taste out of my mouth.
im worthless
DeRosa was at second because he had to wait for Jone’s hit to get through so it didn’t hit him.
Then, there was a crazy bunt that turned into a triple play but then Lou went out and it was just Blanco out. Everyone is confused.
Sigh.
Daryle Ward you steaming pile of shit. Strikes out on 3 pitches.
…or there was interference. I’m listening to the radio. Hughes and Probus didn’t make any mention of interference.
Maybe no one wants to explain it if you’re being a fucking asshole
Am I a good word right now? I think I’m a good word.
Daryle Mabry it would seem.
#182 and #186 have the call down pat. Again, real sorry for all that. Not a good day here in SDLand. No excuse.
Looks like I’ll be on a T-shirt very soon.
Don’t fault Mike for that. The fault lies with the obvious party.
I hope I’m lucky enough to be hitting .150 when the season is over.
I suck.
One thing I do wish is that there was some system in baseball to explain to fans what the fuck happened in these situations. I’m not saying we need full NFL miked up umps, but it could get relayed to the PA announcer/tv/radio guys. It doesn’t need to be instantanious, but at some point.
That seventh inning… Yeah, that was an example of baseball excellence right there by the Cubs…
Get back on the phone, you no-selling waste of space
SD, I don’t think you need to apologize on the internet for not typing up an instantanious game recap.
Good call not letting Wuertz “Lidge” here.
Pat just said the official ruling was batter’s interference on Blanco so dead ball.
Let’s. Get. Some. Runs.
Thanks Pre, but Mike was right.
Its just that I had never seen anything like that in a game of baseball ever. Not even anything remotely close.
When Ron Santo was asked if he had seen anything like that in his days, he said “no”.
I coulda at least tried instead of flippin’ plum out.
I think as a courtesy, when somebody asks for a description we should give one. But if everybody is too busy yelling and screaming at their TVs and kicking their dogs, and don’t get around to it for a while, tough tit.
7 of the 8 starters in the Cardinals lineup aren’t hitting as high as me. Damn…that’s hard to believe.
Where am I? I have been gone for, well, a while…
MLB Gameday radio is like $15 for the whole year. Instead of counting on people who, you know…aren’t paid to be commentators to keep you up to date…you can listen to the actual game.
We don’t dig what your sellin’ 212. Unfortunately. We suck.
#212, not that this should be instantaneous or you are paid to do it or anything like that, but isn’t this called a “gamecast”? Is it terrible to ask for clarification?
Looks like this one is going to the bottom of the ninth.
Jim Edmonds with another patented horseass catch. Drama queen fuckin bitchass ::censored rest of post::
God, I miss Toronto.
I’m going to describe that catch for the Gamecast. I purposely broke the wrong way on the catch, only to predictably correct myself in time to make the catch. Nothing you folks haven’t seen before from my dumb gaymale ass.
So Cubs’ pitchers are going to have to throw shut outs every game for the Cubs to win.
Jim Edmonds does the guys.
Jim Edmonds lined a ball to left field, where Cliff Floyd tried diving to make the catch. The ball rolled alllllll the way to the wall. Jim Edmonds trots into third with a triple.
Jim Edmonds prefers bedmates of his own gender.
CliffyFlo had no shot at catching that.
Can I please stop pitching? My arm still hurts from the 158 games that Dusty used me in last year.
Well, looks like this one will be out of reach soon.
I really suck now.
Same gender…not necessarily same species.
Isn’t it out of reach now?
#226, Isn’t Pancakes due up?
I’m still available to pinch hit.
So am I.
LETS DO THIS!
Mweirton struggles pinch hitting, though.
The Japenese player NOBODY TARKS ABOUT
Bottom of the ninth:
Will the Cubs get the first 2 guys on and leave them stranded or will they go down meekly in order?
They’re still shitty
233 put me down for triple play.
A 6-9 team strands me every time.
GIDP. Here it comes.
Jock will come through with an HR (good Karma)!
Time for a special, walk-off pose!
Let me show you doges how to fuck this up….
If DeRosa is coming out of the game why have Cedeno and not Pie pinch run?
Because Pie can hit?
How do I suck? Let me count the ways
that is a walk beeches! Amazing.
This partial birth abortion is brought to you by the campaign to elect Hillary Clinton for President in 2008.
“Don’t be scared. The coathanger is sterile.”
Berut? Mweirton? Anyone but Hank.
Well I gave you a walk. Almost as rare as the walk-off homerun considering it was me at the plate and all…
That’s how you get thrown out on a walk, bitches
I just ripped my shirt off and threw it.
Only Cedeno could be out on a free advance to 2nd
So, who wants to hang out with me in Des Moines?
This thing is done.
Seriously, we’re trying to lose guys.
Still finding new ways to lose for the last 99 years!
What happened? Please.
He got picked off leading or something?
Did Ron really get thrown out. My multiple gamecasts appelates have nothing to say about it.
What?
What the hell am I about?
That is all
I was running on the pitch. It was Ball 4 to Jock. I slid head first into second and overslid the bag. Eckstein tagged me out. And now the game is over.
Why the hell wasn’t I pinch hitting? I LOVE playing against the Cardinals!
Ronnie overran me and was called out advancing to third on the walk. My god, can it get any worse.
That doesn’t sound like it can happen.
arghhh, Cedeno is pathetic, now Lou is showing his best side…this is quite a compilation of management and players on this wonderful team…I am offically a SOX fan effective ….now.
Cedeno was running on a 3-2 pitch. it was ball four. Cardinals catcher throws down to second, Cedeno slides past the bag and the troll tagged him out.
Cedeno was attempting to steal, ball four was thrown. Cedeno has the right to touch 2b for free because of the walk…which he did as he was sliding. But because he he overslid the bag…Eckstein touched him, and he was ruled out.
I could fuck up a wet dream.
Ball four isn’t a dead ball. It can happen. It just doesn’t ever happen.
Except to the Cubs.
it’s been real, folks.
I thought the Cubs ran out of me. Boy was I wrong!
I got thrown out advancing. I told you back in #240 that I would find a way.
Wow. Intentional Balk is next.
How bout that slide? I was in there!
“I am offically a SOX fan effective ….now.”
Wah! Wah! Wah!
Pussy!
does this officially bump me down on the list?
I taught him that
Can anyone else play shortstop? The Cubs have 2 dipshits who can’t hit and routinely make stupid plays. Pitiful.
I told you motherf*ckers walks were bad. You didn’t listen tod me, dudes.
“Can anyone else play shortstop?”
I can but that will have to wait until after I hit 65 homers and drive in 150 RBIs this year.
No.
I am and will forever be a fan of the Chicago Cubs.
Y 2 G, you can watch this shit all you want, I’ve watched it for 40 years…I’m done…wah! wah!, stfu fag.
SD, your sissy little Cub fan too, get out now why you can…its gonna be a long shitty season.
High five guys!!!
A long discussion with my father-in-law over the Cedeno play resulted in me looking up the rules:
6.08
The batter becomes a runner and is entitled to first base without liability to be put out (provided he advances to and touches first base) when —
(a) Four “balls†have been called by the umpire;
Rule 6.08(a) Comment: A batter who is entitled to first base because of a base on balls must go to first base and touch the base before other base runners are forced to advance. This applies when bases are full and applies when a substitute runner is put into the game.
If, in advancing, the base runner thinks there is a play and he slides past the base before or after touching it he may be put out by the fielder tagging him. If he fails to touch the base to which he is entitled and attempts to advance beyond that base he may be put out by tagging him or the base he missed.
I hate Ronny Cedeno.
So what? you’re going to put on a Cubs cap, tape an insane, rambling, semi-coherent suicide note and then go off down the streets of Wrigleyville busting caps into every Chad and Trixie you can find….
Wellllllllll
Only the locker room..the fans deserve better….you know it I know it…all the rich snobs with their gold chains and Mercedes know it. You know the rest.
Well that was fun.
Frustrated at the lack of description of weird plays, I headed over to the same place I went to on Saturday that’s filled with Old Sox fans–I go because it’s the only place with a tv that’s within 2 blocks of my office–and saw an even weirder play. Of course, none of the dumbfucks in the bar knew what was hapenning on the “pick-off” at second, and I about burst a vein explaining it to some Old Cubs fan.
Bad scene all around. I’d rather have stayed in my cube, brought back some Potbellys, and not known what the hell was going on.
And I blame Jock for extending the at-bat. That’s right, Ron Ce’s a fuckup, but I guess I’m a Hater and I’m still bringin’ it on Jones. The first Ball 4 nearly hit Piniella in the dugout, but ole’ Jock had his mind made up about matters. Yessir.
Hey Cho. You need to get out of your moms basement dude. Find a friend, burn some ants with a magnifying glass. Maybe try to find a girl. But chill out with the Cho comments. It isn’t cool. It doesn’t make you look cool. It’s baseball man, not life. You are a joke….
i suck at life.
…is the daily dose Andy? It’s Monday and we really need it!!
No dose about my upcoming domination of the Milwaukee Brewers? You know I did say their lineup ain’t shit and I’m gonna prove it tonight.
Ron Ce……..you gotta do better than that…..expected response achieved.
