Z might have looked terrible earlier today, but this 10 pm start really suits him well.  He's retired the first 6 batters he's faced.

On another note, how do the Cubs only manage four hits and one run in seven innings against the Brewers' bullpen?

I know.  Gutless fucking assholes, right?

1 game folks.  Do we need to analyze to death every loss? 

Move on.  Christ.

Besides, if they clinch while I'm at work how the fuck am I supposed to flip a car?

Your place of work isn't near a parking lot?

Slak, you could always derail an El train.

If you're going to cause damage to public transportation, please consider a few buses. Don't destroy them, just put them in need of major work.

No angst, it's just a game the Cubs should have won and they didn't.  It's hard to get worked up when they have an EIGHT GAME LEAD with 11 to play.

This piece of shit. I'm sure he or others would defend him by saying he 'only' gave up 3, and that the team didn't hit, but there's a reason he never wins a lot of games, and it's that it's deflating to his teammates to see this retard out there on the mound. Cubs win 5 in a row, Brewers lose 5 in a row, Sheets has all the pressure in the world on him (and would eventually cave in, in his way), Cubs need only to win the last two games to clinch, so naturally Marquis goes out and gives up 3 runs before getting an out. Then he 'settles down'. What a faggot this guy is. Playoffs can't come soon enough, get this asshole off the field.

It's not that he gave up 3 runs. He walked five. In his previous outing, he walked five.  Milwaukee is pretty much demoralized, and Marquis spent the night issuing walks to a team that can't get out of his own way.

I have friends coming into town the weekend of the Bears-Vikings game who would like to join us at the game. Problem is, my four seats are spoken for. I know it's a mid-October day, should be about as ideal a day for football (and pre-Cubs game drinking), but does anyone have between 2 and 4 that they need to sell? Let me know what you'd want for them.

I can connect through a proxy.  Resetting my modem hasn't achieved anything.  When I ping mlb.com it times out.  The firewall on my router isn't switched on at all.

Mlb.com is akin to the Polisario.  I can't ping it either, but that's because an orgy of Flashturbation requires layers of regimentation.

Again, what does your browser do when you attempt to summon mlb.com?  (BT as ISP?)

Essentially, it does nothing.  I'm using IE (sadly, I don't have a choice), and the little flag waves and nothing happens.  Sometimes it says that it's opening the IP address of mlb.com, and then doesn't, and sometimes it says "done", when it hasn't - the flag is still waving.  I don't think this helps much, does it?

Not suprisingly, I can log on to mlb.com through my work server - but then I can't watch mlb.tv.  I have a detailed plan for this evening :

a) Get kids off to bed
b) Kiss Mrs. Tonk goodnight
c) Watch Carlos' no-hitter
d) Watch Carlos' no-hitter again
e) Etc.
f) Wake up at 0400, wipe dribble from chin and go to bed

... that is in serious jeopardy.  Won't somebody think of the no-hitter?

Call your local Internet Provider. I'm sure they'll understand the gravity of the situation.

My Internet Provider is a bunch of utter cunts who would see me in hell before they lifted a finger to help me.  Anybody got a different solution?

Move to AMERICA, Eurotrash.

Call Carlos Zambrano and tell him how he was robbed of his European audience. I'm sure he can explain the gravity of the situation to the wooden-shoed Internet providers.

Dude, that's killer material. You should take that stuff on the road. Seriously.

There were times in the early 80s when he would have been the ace of the staff. Yes, the Cubs have been VERY bad in the past.

What?!?  Why the fuck didn't anyone tell me before this?

When we were talking about it, you had your headphones on, knocking a foul ball away from Moises Alou. Then you went home to feed your goat and black cat.

I didn't think anybody remembered that.

I'm not here to talk about the past. I'm here to be positive.

How can a shoutbox evade UBS filters? Can we set up a "financial information clearinghouse" in which we have several feeds from CNBC and FT.com and WSJ covering half the page and HJE/JO/Vortex on the other half?

Ah, Morph has finally come face to face with Barack Obama's base.

My turn.  I got banned today (I have been a registered user since 2005) because I put up a FanPost about magic numbers.  For those who saw it before it went down the memory hole... you all know that it was very polite, and I didn't attack anyone or Al.  The guy has a serious problem if he is banning me for that thread.

Al knows who you are.

Bump.  Believe it or not, when Chuck goes home, he does not only write hate mail to Alfonso Soriano and eat puppies. He's a charitable sort and he recruited me to serve on the Kohl Children's Museum Board of Governors. Anyway, our illustrious board is auctioning off a set of four tickets at "Skybox on Sheffield" for Monday's game with Houston.

Bidding ends later today, but here's a chance to re-enact the last gathering of morans and give money to charity.
