Shit, the lineup I just left at Iowa was better than this one.
Pat Hughes thinks it’s hot out?
He don’t know hot.
2 guys are playing shortstop?
Think I have a little ground to cover today??
Korey, it’s not like you’re going to wear yourself out running the bases.
did I mention I feel great after yesterdays start?
Jerry the lesser is playing me.
My Curve is nasty today..
True dat, CT
Yes, both Jerry and Ronny are playing short. Dusty asked Jerry to be Ronny’s chaperone today.
Why do I insist on referring to umpire Joe West as “Country” Joe West? I said it yesterday, too.
How many times am I going to have to say what I prefer? I prefer to hit leadoff now. That’s what I prefer now.
Hey Clark! You threw your f#$%ing bat halfway down the third base line. Go get it yourself!
Pat,
Because baseball frowns on you calling him “Raving asshole and horrific umpire” Joe West.
Cancel the postgame show!
Shit. Looks like I’m playing shortstop today. FC 8-4.
I could have used some help from Jerry there! We’re both playing SS today, right? Jeez.
I’m just here to make Corey look good.
What is big, glowing yellow thing in sky? We no have that in Iowa.
The fans of Cubdom must not know that I am a mogwai and I was given food and water after midnight. The result is what you see in RF today … a GREMLIN!!!
Ronny- we had it to the tune of 96 yesterday
What’s an FYC 8-4?
Speaking of lousy chaperones…
Are we supposed to believe the story about the “church kid” who burned down Spike O’Dell’s house? It was a grill accident? More likely he and some of his “church camp” buddies were making meth in the O’Dell bathtub, got high, molested and killed the dog then torched the house to hide their evidence.
Not that anything like that has ever happened to me, or anything. No sir.
Besides, if somebody torched anything in the Chicago area, I’d think Will Ohman would have been the prime suspect.
I need to face the Cubs every day.
I hate Carlos Lee. Why can’t we trade for him?
West played at the Grand Ole Opry with Merle Haggard or something. You can buy his CD at his website.
I just LOVE giving up home runs.
It is a long drive from St. Louis to Spike’s house. But Otis was a nice piece of ass.
According to my biography on MLB.com, I’ve also performed with Bobby Mackey, Bonnie Owens, Mickey Gilley, Box Car Willie, T.G. Sheppard and Charlie McCoy and the Hee Haw Band at the Grand Ole Opry. Hot damn!
http://mlb.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/mlb/team/mlb_team_umpires_bio.jsp?id=3051
I also carry my purse underneath my chin.
I’m your power hitting shortstop!
Even I can hit a homer today?
Greggie’s in trouble!
FYK!!
Wind blowing out today?
Yes.
I’m being called to Wrigley Field to treat a Cubs fan named Chuck who has been stricken with a heart attack.
Mmm… yes…
I’m 15 mph to right
This walking stuff is easy. You just stand there and then they let you go to first.
The wind isn’t blowing out to right … that’s me sucking really hard.
Is that really 2 walks in 2 days for Korey?
Corey not only walked, but did it after watching Jerry hit a dinger.
Hey why are they telling me to go to first, I don’t even think the ball hit me.
I’m not going to steal first now. I’m going to wait for later in the game when I reach on a dropped third strike and then my steal allows them to walk Derrek.
Patterson walked? At this rate his OPB will be .300 by the weekend.
Haiston homers and Corey walks in consecutive at-bats. Call the Weather Channel, hell is freezing over.
I’m infuriatingly about thirty seconds behind the action, so you can see what happens first on the Gamecast.
Poop.
The ambulance arrived? Can I stop dialing 911?
I walk and D Lee = DP
That’s right, CT, put out an APB on .300.
I hope I’m not going into a slump?
Me too, I hope I’m not in a slump! How would you tell?
Quiet you.
Dudes, how do you like my power move of moving KKKKorey down in the line up? Wait until you see what I have planned for those important games against the Braves.
The Gremlin?
Hmm, this may be another one of THOSE games.
Hitting hardly or hardy hitting
Yes, the Gremlin.
Sounds like a good day for a ground ball pitcher. Should I start warming up, Skipper? Or would you like me to wait until we’re down 7 runs first?
I can’t believe I haven’t given up any homers this inning…..yet.
How did Hardly get to 2nd on the throw?
I called the staff to the mound and told them to get that shithole Patterson thefuck out of the game.
He can’t catch a flyball and than Sammys the cutoff man.
Corey was channeling my spirit as he air mailed the cut-off man. Buddy.
Yes, I’m 39 and I throw 82 mph
Sorry Guys,
It’s going to be one of those days for me.
But now Capuano has to run the bases! That 2-RBI base hit actually works in our favor.
Maddux to the pen and Sergio to the rotation if this shit keeps up.
When Dusty went out to the mound to check on Maddux after he appeared to turn an ankle on Hardy’s hit, you could read Dusty’s lips:
Dusty: Greg, dude. You hurt?
Greg: No, I’m fine.
Dusty: No really, I mean if you were hurt Sergio could come in and he’d get as much time as he needs.
Greg: I’m fine.
Dusty: (winking furiously) No, really how bad DOES it hurt?
Give me a few more innings skip. My sinker is working right now because I’m too strong.
Yeah Dave, because Greg hasn’t pitched well for like five days now.
Oh, send the old man off to the golf course for the afternoon already and let me take over.
Am I still going on? geez
For you Maddux (FYG)
we do bat 8 more times, right? Settle…….
Four straight hits, two of them to guys hitting in the .100’s. Is that bad?
Um, Dave?
Can you possibly be any MORE reactionary?
You’re joking, right? Not only do I lead the league in wins but Meat Tray’s has more shitty outings than I have, and he only started for a month.
Yes, yell at Corey for not catching the one that hit ten feet up on the wall in the ivy, while I get a free pass for not being able to take three steps in to catch mine and then throwing to the wrong base. I like that.
Uh, Greg. See you in five wins, pal. But I knew what you meant. You lead the TEAM, not the LEAGUE.
Could it be i’m suffering from the dreaded Phil Rogers ESPN story curse..? Or am I just getting old and washed up?
Chuck’s at the game, so my Sammy’ed cutoff throw was for him. Fuck you, CHuck.
I lead the league in wins?
Quiet DuBois, we’re trying to showcase you.
stop stalking Dave B, stalky
Hey, I’m in the lineup today. I’ll just hoist the team on my back and carry us to victory!
Uh, I don’t think Jason Dubois has exactly gotten a free pass on his fielding.
Does This TV angle make me look fat?
really tell me the truth…
I hate the lighting in this booth…
I look much slimmer in person…
There you go.
Can you guys call me Ron Cey for short?
Just setting things up for teh Gremlin
FYEverybody!
Suck it, bitches!
Who needs Preston Wilson! I rule!
Jose,
Those 0-2 cookies are like Christmas morning, aren’t they?
In related news, a cold front swept through hell today, freezing everything in its path. Macias has an RBI, Korey has a walk, and D Lee has a GIDP. What’s next, a homer for Maddux?
Cappy’s pick of move is soooo good, bla bla bla,,
He picked off players while sitting in the dugout, bla bla bla… what a move ,b bla bla bla
morpheus, I’d settle for one of our pitchers getting Carlos Lee out.
Hey morpheus, you forgot us.
I got that fat piece of shit out several times yesterday.
Biblical proportions, Old Testament stuff, fire and brimstone, dogs and cats living together…
Wasn’t that my first hit of the series?
You look fine, mr. foppish.
I like the way Bob Brenly touches my buttons.
Shutup Carlos. Okay fine, how about Bill Hall?
yo tengo
Mi no tengo
I’m actually not better than Albie,
I love my nick name
won’t be your last, C-Lee. Damn.
$@%$$@$!##$$@#! Bill Hall!
Hey were Ron and Pat just talking about me?
I’m too good to bother holding runners
Fine game in the field so far for Ron Ce. He let the pop up drop, he dropped a throw from the outfield that Hairston had to run down, he just ran into E-ramis on a foul pop up and took a throw from Barrett at second and scooped it into right field. Oh, and it’s the third inning.
Hey, this Hairston guy is good. How about we trade Mauer and Torii for him?
Evidentally, the Cubs minor league system only produces DH’s.
Dusty,
Take Jerry out now. He’s hit a homer and made a nice defensive play. It’s all downhill from here.
I can’t Andy, Macias is already in the game.
regression to the mean is looking pretty good right about now isn’t it….BITCHES!
If Maddux lets Hall score, I say we take him out and shoot him!
OK, ground out to him. He gets to live one more inning!
Actually, Neifi, it isn’t…
Hey, I was nervous. That’s over now. I’ll get four hits in the last seven innings and get a few of those stupid Web Gem things.
Cut me some slack guys at least I can move a runner over..
Hairston, you take forever up there with all the pitches.
C’mon, how ’bout a rally? Do it for me!
Let’s catch fire!!!
I’m the one thing that Corey may have done more than whiff this year.
Corey’s also entered me.
Corey’s also entered me.
That’s okay, Corey. i’m batting .211.
But Phil Rogers and Chuck would rather have me than Derrek Lee.
And me.
I’ve invited Corey to enter whenever he’d prefer to.
Brother,
I don’t think I would be getting hit as hard as you today. And I’m talking me now, not even during my mediocre career.
I’m getting my arse felt today. Absolutely fucking molested.
I once kicked the piss out of a 3rd grader named Jeff Jenkins
Corey Patterson has no idea how I got to Chicago from Arizona.
Bill, I think you cheated and took a cab, like that woman in the Boston Marathon.
Hey gang,
Check out the WGN Baseball Blog, where I can bore the shit out of you with mild, unoffensive, uninteresting pap!
I covered the whole 26.2 miles. I didn’t know you were supposed to run the whole goddamned way.
Hey 5-4!
I’m going to post more often.
Time to get Julio Santana into the rotation and that piece of crap Chris Capuano in the bullpen!
You’re not so wild, Holman. Ryan Dempster did a walk-a-thon buck naked last summer.
I am the person who cheated in the Boston Marathon.
Okay, now I’m about sixty seconds behind – STOP GIVING THE SCORE AWAY!
Nice job Michael, that’s two you’ve picked up for us and three you’ve given them.
Now we’re getting closer to my season run support average of 6.14…
Kerry is Biff Whiff and Dempster was Brock Walk!
Oh, that’s gold. I have to write that down.
Hey MLB.TV, when I fall behind, if you reload me I catch up again. Maybe that will work for you.
I’m going deep. This ivy covered crackerjack box can’t hold me!
I might take that K out to the field with me, mmm hmm.
What’d Barrett do to give up the runs Greg?
Hey Dusty! Look at the stupid rookie! He’s got second base all clogged up!
Sit your ass down, Perez, you shitbag.
Horrible pitch selection by Barrett out there
Keep your seat, Neifi.
Sorry CT, I can’t hear you. I’ve got four Cy Youngs stuffed in my ears.
Barrett sucks. He’s forcing Maddux to throw 82 mile per hour “heaters” right down the middle. You can see it on TV, between pitches he goes out to the mound and holds a gun to Greg’s head.
Time for me to tie this bitch up.
Well put, Andy.
I’ll just pitch around Maddux and Jerry to get to Corey.
Fine, I’ll give you one back.
Hall had to hurry that throw to get the speedy Maddux.
What a dope.
Then your ear’s must be the size of Adam Everett’s.
You watching in Minneapolis? I’m about to go yard.
Apparently that would’ve worked out better, Capuano. There can’t be a throwing error when Korey K’s…
You got a problem with big ears?
You know what they say about a guy with big ears. Uh huh…
He wears big ear muffs.
Rent’s due, bitches!
I could have come up with a way to get Ronny in from third with the bases loaded. Or don’t you remember my glory days in 2003 when every fourth strikeout ended with me having to throw it to first?
Point taken, Damian. I do remember those days; we had lots of strikeouts that year.
Greg doesn’t blame anything on anybody. My favorite moment of his so far this year was in Washington when the mound was all screwed up and he asked the grounds crew to fix it and then on the next pitch he gave up a homer to Nick Johnson. Between innings the grounds crew went out to re-fix it and you could see Maddux on the bench mocking them and complaining. After the game he was asked about it and said, “Nah, it wasn’t the mound who made that bad pitch. It was me.”
Greg would have a much easier time of getting ratified to the UN than John Bolton, or Michael Bolton for that matter.
And a lot of dropped third strikes.
Hey, there’s Dumbass DuJour Mike Remlinger in the Cubs’ dugout!
We’re a pretty good nucleus on the Desipio© All=Ears team.
Time to get that run back.
Apparently, I don’t comb my hair or brush my teeth. Or perhaps I’m reading that wrong?
Why do I get the feeling that at Iowa Ronny catches all the pop-ups?
Hey look, I do know how to catch popups.
Let’s walk Overbay. I’m ready to manage the crap out of this game!
First inning I hit home run. I celebrate by eating taco left over from last night when me wife, she invite Ron Ce over.
Leftover taco. Sometime good, sometime bad. Today, bad.
Now I no feel so good. Now I pop out. Now I go ppop out bad taco I feel better next time up.
Here comes my last out of the game.
Did I say out? Er, I meant run.
That worked well
Damn you, Barrett!
Not so fast, Greg. I closed my eyes and HOLY SHIT, I got a two-out, two-strike RBI off Greg Friggin’ Maddux!
I’m a complete asshole.
Anybody need a grounder?
Where bloop singles go to die.
And you look like me, Geoff.
I’m a complete player
Why is Jenkins an a-hole?
Me reactionary? I make a facetious post and everyone jumps on it. I had to be away from my desk for an hour and I laughed when I got back and read this.
Apparently, Ron, Pat, and even Greg (who argued with “Country” Joe West) say I leaned in to the pitch to get hit. I think they’re just jealous of my rugged good looks.
I’m at the game, but where’s my (alleged) new girlfriend Jennifer Aniston?
See, the two shorstop defense works. The Brewers used it on D. Lee.
What’s going on with me??? i’ve had one hit since the home run the other night..
Maddux may be throwing batting practice, but here’s good news from MLB.com:
First baseman Albert Pujols of the St. Louis Cardinals, who was leading Derek Lee of the Chicago Cubs on June 28th, now trails by 49,110 votes.
Looks like Albie will be in the dugout during the home half of the inning as the DH. He can look out at the starting All-Star first basemen in 2005.
Hey, Joe West’s ass sweat is nowhere near as bad as John Wade’s! What are these guys talking about?
Who’s pitching this inning?
Here comes the Meat Tray…
It be me
I don’t know but I’m in the game.
Too bad, too, ’cause I was 4/6th of the way through my 6-pack and smoked a half a joint. Wheeee!
Us starters hate the double-switch
That single by Capuano will be deadly for the Brewers, as he’ll have to run the bases now.
E-ramis has left the game after being hit in the leg by that Capuano pitch. Today’s the last day of June. Why is that interesting?
They gave everybody at the Cubs Convention a calendar and April had Nomar on it, May had Mark Prior and June had…you guessed it, E-ramis.
You don’t want to know who’s on the calendar for July. But it rhymes with Carlos Zambrano.
Chris Cappuccino with ANOTHER base hit.
Is 4/6 anything like 2/3?
Aw, crap.
Hey Hall,
Try hitting a ground ball homer, you jagoff!
Are you sure it’s Carlos? Maybe they accidentally used Eddie Zambrano’s picture.
Roberto Novoa is looking awfully sleepy in that bullpen. Could he be more like The Farns?
I don’t get hurt until August!
That’s a shame, Corey.
The 2005 calendar should have been Beltran, Wagner, Tejada, Pierre, Thome…
Tejada would have homered there
Yeah, my .258/.315 8HR, 38 RBI and 1 stolen base look really sweet right about now, don’t they? Hey Aramis, next time we’re in town, I’ll buy the pancakes.
If Aramis’ knee was so bad he had to come out, why’d they leave him in to run the bases?
Chip Caray apparently left behind his faux home run call for me, because I have misread more non-home runs this year than in my previous 9 years combined. I had Cub fans all over the country jumping out of their chairs on Dubois’ flyout.
Tim to leave some wolf bait in the toilet. Where’s Mazur?
My knees hurt from being the “Head” third baseman.
Sergio Mitre, he no make good taco. Good taco give me gas, right down the middle of the plate.
Was I ever this productive with the Cubs?
WTF? Damian Miller?
Now I’m Johnny Bench.
fags
He certainly was not productive with us.
I hope, after my last popout, that I go to baño and poop out leftover taco from last night.
But I only fart. Taco still there. I no feel good when I bat again and I strike out. Maybe mañana, no?
Damian Miller was productive for the Cubs in me.
After that, he was no better than Gabor.
So, Mitre K’s Lee and Overbay, then gives up a HR to Miller and a double to Geoff Jenkins… that makes sense.
How much you wanna bet Assface leads me off next inning?
Who has the 7th-inning stretch today?
…followed by a double to JJ Freakin’ Hardy. Unbelievable.
JJ F’N Hardy.
And now Billy Bob comes in to face a lefty PH. Wow.
This is my 4th multi-hit game of the season. My first one since June 5th. I am the Greek Adonis of hitting.
Will Prince serve me pancakes after I serve him up a nice pitch to hit?
We are like a mini-dinner party in your tv every night.
This is FCKED!
Remlinger is just as shite as I am.
DYN-O-MITE!!!
Hey Mister 3-Year Salary Thief,
Thanks for making me pack my bags. I could hav edone that, you overpaid cockmunch.
Might I suggest you stop getting in to such a hitter advantageous count?
He probably has better facial hair though.
Who didn’t see that coming?
I guess the blind squirrel shines on every dog’s ass one in a while.
I thought Prince batted right handed. I can only get out righties.
What, was Will Ohman unable to go after throwing 3 pitches yesterday?
The Cubs don’t have the discipline to do the same thing. When they’re losing, they can’t waitto get back to the clubhouse.
Prove me wrong, you heartless loser. Milwaukee’s bullpen has shut you down, for the most part this year (yesterday notwithstanding). Will you continue to let Ricky F-ing Bottalico look like Marioano Rivera or are you gonna stage a fucking rally yourseleves?!?
I guess we all knew that Neifi! would pinch-hit this inning…
I actually pulled off the “Opposing Broadcaster Sings The 7th Inning Stretch” thing without being an ass.
Sure I said, “Root, root, root for the Brewers” but
A) I wasn’t as defiant as that dead asshole Jack Buck was about it, and
B) instead of singing “If they don’t win, it’s a shame,” on the next line, I sang, “And you do the same for the Cubs”
Nice.
Can I be more of a sullen crybaby when the Cubs are losing? Since I don’t have the nerve to end it all, I should just do the honorable thing and retire to Arizona, and cease hoisting my sad-sack, maudlin personality on Cub fans.
Sammy: I taught Corey that cutoff overthrow
Moises: I taught him the check-swing groundout.
–high-five each other–
Uecker’s been telling that joke about “I signed with Milwaukee for $3,000 and I was worried because I didn’t think my parents could scrape together that much cash” joke for at least 32 years now. And I think I’ve laughed at it every time.
Well, Ronnie, the Desipiots become sullen crybabies when the Cubs are losing, so you’re in good company.
On Tuesday night when Corey made the game saving catch all you could hear immediately after the ball was hit was Ron moaning “Ohhhh, nooo, geeeeee!” and then you heard Pat call out Corey’s catch and subsequent double play. I guarantee you that Ron doesn’t know he does that. All the more reason for him to take his much-deserved, hard-earned, beloved Cub status and watch the games from the air conditioned comfort of his Arizona house.
Besides, I know I’m ready for Davey Nelson Part Deux in the booth! Who’s with me!
On second thought, I guess Ron should stay.
You know, it might just be time to hit Carlos Lee in the head.
in 3…2…1…
Ronnie’s got to keep his chin up when the team’s behind.
My favorite is at least twice a game, after a significant play, his top-notch analysis begins with “I’ve got to see that again.” mmeaning, really, “I’ve got to see that for the first time”
You get the feeling Ronny’s going half-blind from the diabetes, and is more dependent on Pat Hughes’ play-by-play than we are.
Uh-oh.
I lov u andy
I think my penis just fell off, oh nooo :o(
At least I don’t have to feel too bad about that 6th run.
What happened to me?
I love when Ronnie says 6 batters later “Pat, what did Hardy do?”
“Ronnie, he doubled in Jenkins and then scored on a single by Fielder.”
Ronnie, as if it just happened now: “Ohhhh, brother.”
Or when a transaction was made 12 hours earlier and everyone and their blind and deaf cousin knows about it and Pat says something like, “You see where the Reds cut Danny Graves last night” and Ron, with genuine surprise, says “Reeaallly? Wow.”
I just got home, did Capuano hit Ramirez on purpose? If he did, it should be worth 2 hit batsmen.
Mike, I’m partial to the always insightful pre-game interview between Ron and Dusty, which sounds like it’s being held at Murphy’s Bleachers before the game.
Pat, what did happen to Ramirez? Do you see him out there? I’m not seeing him.
Ronnie, the field is that way.
Simply put, I am just fucking horrible. I don’t even hit enough long ones to draw comparisons to Dave Kingman. A lousy outfielder who can’t run, whiffs a ton, can’t draw walks, and projects to 20 home runs? What the hell am I doing in the big leagues, anyway?
Shhh, by the way. Don’t tell anybody, especially the AL teams!
I see Ramirez now. I think he’s in too close on this guy.
Ronnie,
First of all, Jose Macias is playing third.
Secondly, you’re looking at first base, and that’s Derrek Lee.
Here’s Will Ohman, 3 inning too late.
Oh, brother. At least Borowski looked a little better today.
Hey Dew Boy, here are your numbers coming into today: .248 avg/.301 obp/.489 slg. Your platoon partner’s are .264/.313/.393. There’s not a lot of difference there. Oh, and isn’t this your first year in the bigs? Hey, Ronny Cedeno had a tough day in the field and has the same stat line as you do today, what’s he doing in the big leagues?
My best on-air moment of recent vintage:
“Y’known, Pat, I’ll never forget this one time… uh… I… ohhh… I can’t remember exactly what I was about to say…”
In Harry’s last two years, he was so bad that he once referred to Ryne Sandberg as “Boyer”.
It was bad enough when he’d confuse Sandberg with former Cub china doll Scott SANDERSON, or just his typical wrangling of names, but when he confused a present-day star with a star from nearly four decades earlier from his days in St. Louis, well let’s just say it wasn’t a surprise when we heard reports of Harry slamming his head on the table in Phoenix, precipitating his mortal end.
Are embarassing us by their raucous cheering. At least wait until the tying run com eson deck, fools.
What was that word used during yesterday’s CubsLive to describe Turnbow?
Judging from my Gameday mug shot, I look like more of a Mongo than Old Man Maddux.
Was it “dreamy”? I hope it was dreamy.
How are we going to close this gap with Hollandsworth clogging the bases?
Oh yeah… it was ‘cur.’ Pretty accurate too.
2 out, RISP… oh boy, oh boy!
I’m a poor man’s Dwyer.
I complained that Walker and Shithead swung at the first pitch when they’re down four runs–and justifiably so– but will I bring it up when I spread Dusty’s cheeks and dart my tongue in and out tomorrow?
Of course not. It’s very Hub Arkush of me.
You can’t lay off of me, bitches.
after my 2 hit performance today:
DON’T CALL ME GREMLIN!!!!!
call me NEW GLADIATOR!!!
Things are going to start happening to Shithead now!
What happened? I was taking a nap…….
Is it me…or have there been more of these games, you know, as opposed to good ones, when I take the mound ?
Actually, if you want to get a “better” projection of my stats, you need to project them for an entire year playing full-time. None of this “20 homer” shit when I’m only getting a couple games per week plus a pinch-hit appearance or two.
If you project my current stats out to 550 at-bats (aka, I started in LF every day since opening day and batted around 6th), I’d end the season with 28 homers, 88 RBIs, 60 runs, 28 walks, and 193 strikeouts.
Do I strike out a lot? Yes. Is my batting average low? Yes. Am I a rookie who makes mistakes and still has a lot to learn? Hell yes.
But if you were honest with yourself, you know those are top 3 ROY numbers if I played in an organization that stuck with rookies not represented by Scott Boras (sorry, Mark). Take a look at Brad Wilkerson in 2002 or Khalil Greene in 2004.
I’m not saying that the Cubs don’t need a better corner outfielder on this team, but don’t shit on me cause I can’t carry this team on my shoulders.
You Cub fans remember when, two years ago, I was intentionally walked, not once but TWICE, in front of the great Sammy Sosa?
Yeah, those were good times. Now excuse me while I go play a pickup game with Joe Charboneau, Bob Hamelin and Marty Cordova.
What happened to the “groundball specialist out of the pen”? Instead of throwing his low K, but let them beat the ball into the ground sinker, he throws his high K , but everyone who gets any contact gets at least two bases attempted sinker wiithout any sink (yet).
I am gonna guess it will take about 6 bad outtings before they figure out he should be starting not relieving.
Can anyone help me spell my name so I have a litte accent thingie over the e?
Did that exchange with Pat and Ron really happen? Can anyone transfer it to mp3?
Sometimes it takes us awhile to get that sinkerball sinking.
That’s part of the reason that we generally aren’t good first-inning pitchers, and using us out of the pen can be iffy, too.
I’m planning on making an appearance at Wrigley Field today.
Are you looking for Cédeno? Is that correct? Or is it Cêdeno? Or, maybe Cèdeno? Even ESPN, the worldwide leader, doesn’t have my accents (in any version).
It’s me.
