OK A-holes.  It's fixed.  Enjoy the orange links, because I have no fucking idea how to change them.  I basically learned scripting in four days to fix this damned thing. - Andy

Doesn't everyone complain that the infield grass at Wrigley is like a foot high? Why have the Cubs not tried signing as many ground-ball pitchers as possible?

Every infield in the majors is tailored to the home team's players. Some shortstops like the dirt harder for better bounces, some like slower grass. I'm not sure Castro has figured out what he likes yet.

That being said, they had tall grass and soft dirt everywhere when the Cubs' pitching staff was setting strikeout records.

So, just to be clear: The run sets up the play-action pass?

11 on 11. Pick a man and guard him.

Castro plays the cover who defense out there at shortstop.  More like shorterror, amiright?

According to ESPN1000... Kerry Wood

Andre Dawson paid his $1,000 fine for the Joe West incident with style. Dawson wrote ``Donation for the blind`` in the memo section of his personal check.

Same here. I will, however, not love the meatballs who are saying that his number should be retired. It's too easy to make an argument against it and there are those who can't wait to do so. Fuck both sides of that non-argument in the face with a syringe full of rat semen.

I think I may have been wrong all these years. Ryno isn't my favorite Cub. Kerry Wood is.

Never heard the 'Stros feed on that before. Nice. Remind me to send some Smoque BBQ to Jerry Meals' hotel room next time he's in town. The man is a saint. It always looks like he's enjoying it as much as we were. I half-expect him to do the Frank Drebin after a couple of those calls. 


EDIT: That was my world series. If I never see one. Fuck it. I saw that.

(eyes pissing tears)

I seriously got a little misty-eyed watching that again.  That was balls out.  I fucking love Kerry Wood and will never - NEVER, I say - hear a word said against him.  At the risk of getting all meatball-y, the kid needs to stay with the club in some capacity.

EDIT: I've just been reminded of how fucking beside myself with excitement I was when he came back from Tommy John disease.  And then hit one out of the park himself.
