Do you like my turtleneck?
Just wanted you to know. I just picked my nose and my index fingernail is a little too long and I think I poked a hole the size of Jose Macias in my nostril. When the bleeding stops…if the bleeding stops, I’m going to….wait, getting woozy…passing outttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt
Hey buddies, do you miss me?
I said we’d start this one under a rain delay. Doesn’t that mean we won’t start?
I miss the DH, probably because if we had one here, I could have played more. Oh well, Nomar and Todd took care of that for me. I still can’t believe I said I missed the DH though.
Well, he’s got us there.
What? This lineup almost reprents… the optimum logical deployment of available resources. Dubois starting?? and batting FIFTH? someone check Dusty’s temperature! We need Macias and Neifi! batting 1-2 pronto!
My Pops used to say “When it rains, it pours”, dude.
I’m actually quite logical today, no?
I made this lineup today because I figure it’ll be a rain out.
Oh, shut up, Len and Bob. We’re not even gonna play today.
I’m going to go take a nap.
I know what you’re thinking.
Yes, my wife cuts my hair.
Yes, the charter company lost the bag with my neck in it.
Hey, if there’s going to be a delay in Chi-town why not have me on as a guest! I can do 20 minutes on how great it is to be in Atlanta! My phone number is 1-800-IMAF@#$INGDUMBASS.
I’m always good during a delay
I also dyed my turtleneck to match my eyebrows and hair perfectly. Such detail!
Wow, I actually thought they were going to play my interview again when they started talking about the new dp combo…again. Just show some reruns, man!
I’m sorry, I misunderstood Nomar during his at bat when he said, “It’s time to go on a tear.”
What hat is Nomar wearing? Is that the Japanese team he’ll be playing for next season?
Nomar’s having a problem with his “abductor”? If he’ll send it back, I can give him a full refund!
Whah soo. We make Mr. Nomar super happy fantastic offer.
I’m going to use the time during the rain delay to rub holy water on Nomar’s groin.
So is Nomar having me?
never mind, he just answered my question.
Doesn’t sound like it.
Bull-riding? I love bull-riding! I can’t wait til the Beege takes me to the annual honky-tonk country fair!
Sounds to me like the doctors have told Nomar he should have surgery and he doesn’t want it.
I can’t say I blame him. Nobody’s going near my groin with a scalpel either.
I love soccer!
Hello! This the last you’ll see of me during my stint with the Cubs. I have to go cut Dusty’s lawn now.
It’s not Stubby Clapp or Gookie Dawkins, but it’s a good name.
You like my bling-bling?
I had a doctor on my show this morning who said that you don’t need surgery to fix this injury and it won’t speed up the healing, but when you let it heal on it’s own, sometimes it reattaches in a less than ideal spot and you lose some flexibility. The only advantage to having the surgery is you can guarantee where the tendon will reattach, though you lose some rehab time because your groin has to heal from the surgery as well as your initial injury.
My brother has a nice new orange jumpsuit.
There’s a lot of big green clouds on Tom Skilling’s weather map.
Here in the Big House, it’s cloudy, humid and there’s a 100 percent chance of me being rammed in the ass. Anybody need some Enron stock?
I’m going to be a guest on the rain delay coverage just as soon as they can find a third phone book to stack on the chair so you can see me above the press box counter.
Sounds like no game for us today.
I’ll be announced for tomorow shortly.
“We have MORE?” We’ll been talking out of our asses for nearly 40 minutes. What the hell else can we possibly have?
Looks like a day for the white guys to play, dude.
“I hate moving players around”…so what was up with different lineups every day last year?
Someone roll O’Dell into a ball and toss him up, I’ll see how far I can hit him.
If you have me, you’re gay.
Roll me into that ball too.
I look like a member of the Russian Mafia.
I need a hair cut.
Look at my awful sweater! Oh God, what an ugly friggin sweater I was wearing in that clip.
Whee! I was on WGN today!
See you tomorrow, folks.
White boys can’t pull that off, Chippy. You, especially.
Damn. Why cant I be on during rain delay?
What the fuck.
See you tommorow, folks. Mother nature not cooperating with us this afternoon. Now enjoy the wholesome family program AFHV’s Guide To Parenting, I know I will.
dudes, the cubs are going on a tear dudes and I don’t mean
Nomar’s groin dudes
Dolan, from now on call me “good” molina
We are all terrible.
braylon, cedric or ronnie??????????????????????????????????
According to espn.com, since 01′ I have pitched as well as Randy Johnson! See, I should have a closet full of Cy Youngs.
That list is bullcrap! Braylon and Ronnie will be off the board, which is bullcrap. If you cut the bullcrap, it’s Cedric or Cadillac. Bullcrap! Bullcrap!
The way that cat was chasing that tennis ball, I got confused and didn’t remember that America’s Funniest Home Videos was on. I thought Hollandsworth was trying to field another single to left.
Cute trick, but I can tell that cat isn’t a special cat. It’s not a quick-twitch cat.
Where’s my shinguard? I can’t find it anywhere and for some reason, everyone is refusing to let me borrow theirs. I had 3 of them and they’ve all disappeared over the past week.
I’m going to follow the plan Lassie showed in St. Loo Wednesday night: let the ball go until it stops rolling, then pick it up. Much easier.
I reckon I threw them plastic things in the trash… unh hunh
Let me play left field, you pussies. I’ll only drop the ball once before I throw it back in, plus I might run toward the ball when it gets hit in my direction.
I have 7 RBI this year. Miss me yet?
7, that’s a cute number. I have 17.
Plus, I still have my nuts, you juice-happy shoe-shine boy!
Have they called the game yet? No TV here…
How ’bout a bonus feature while we wait?
Ah, yes. Let’s hope Hollandsworth gets hurt to boot. Another injury is really the only way this season could get any better.
Why do I keep getting these zits on my back?
Hey Derrek ease up on the nuts (or anything groin related) comments.
What morpheus said.
Am I on for today?
Remember when I, the 1976 All-Star Game, the 1970 World Series, the 1971 World Series, and This Week in Baseball were seemingly on power rotation during rain delays?
We bring you Game 4 of the 2003 NLCS… The last postseason game worth watching.
How’s the visibillity?
Honesty compels me to say that my rain delays had much higher ratings than they do now.
I bet desipio’s experiencing less traffic now that I’m not assaulting your eardrums.
I guess it hasn’t been called yet?
Not called yet. Just delayed.
Whoever posted as Dubois trashing Holly’s shinguards as Slingblade is a funny bastard. I nearly pissed myself. Nice work.
if there’s a dh tomorrow, Macias will have to get some playing time…
I seemingly acquired the MLB audio package along with my MLB.TV purchase. I didn’t know they came together. The MLB audio is giving me what it says is the WGN feed, and its nothing but silence besides the sound of crowd noise, and I think the organ began to play for awhile.
Anyone listening on an actual radio getting the same thing?
What are you assholes waiting for? It’s hardly even raining out here. Go right ahead and play. Hell play tomorrow’s game too. I’ve got to go to work at O’Hare as air traffic controller and I want to watch the game on my screen.
I don’t expect tomorrow’s game to have a DH.
I’m not that funny. Oh, and I get paid to be unfunny. Oh, and I done gave up.
Somebody just broke in and said (I think this was directed at radio station programmers only, he said something about “this is on a closed circuit feed”) that the tarp was still on the field, the rain was still falling, and there is still a rain delay. And that the next update would be at 4:30.
I gotta leave for work at 4:30, that don’t do me a whole lotta good, bub!
American 198 here, roger O’Hare tower, clear for landing on what runway? 40L? Isn’t Northwest 1609 taking off there? And isn’t Lufthansa 122 landing there?
I meant dh as in doublehedder
I diidn’t want to type “doublehedder” because I don’t know how to spell it, and it’s embarrasing (sp?)
Bottom line: with 2 games tomorrow, Macias WILL play…..THE TRUTH HURTS
Affirmative, American 198, you’re cleared for landing.
Northwest 1609, O’Hare Tower, you’re cleared for takeoff on runway 40L
Lufthansa 122, you’re cleared for landing on runway 40L
Lot 21, you’re cleared for landing on the northbound Tri-State
United 431, you’re clear to taxi across 40L for takeoff on 34R.
Damn, weren’t Dubois, Fontenot and Cedeno supposed to be on Northwest 1609?
Postponed.
Game officially postponed.
No doubleheader tomorrow.
Dude, it rains only at night here.
Pending rescheduling.
Just great — I’m late for work and they go and can the game anyway!
Make-up date
Dude. That sucks. We had a four-day break, and now the rain comes in and screws it up.
July 14, first game after All Star Break and now part of a 4 game weekend series
Hey, maybe I’ll be back by then.
Or at least in Des Moines?
shit… no double-hitter tomorrow
F**king Rain!
Don’t worry Jose, I’m sure Dusty can find a spot for you anyway.
July 14? Why, that’s 13 weeks away. One less game for me to miss.
nobody has me, regarding Jerry Angelo
I have decided not to reschedule this game after all, I am awarding the World Series trophy to the Chicago White Sox. Apparently, they are so good, there is no need to actually play the season out.
Yeah, Selig, me and the rest of the Dodgers might have a little something to say about that.
This is a great page. And the contents are really that worth reading. I will add this to my own library
