Holy. Shit.

I've got chills.  That was incredible.

Details. I need some details. I've heard Fukudome hits like a Nancy; was it a Nancy home run?

It was a 410-or-so-foot Nancy-homer to right center. 

Tough loss, but we saw some good things. Also, I'm never going to post in a gamecast again. I didn't today, but I just read it. Lame--O.

Agreed.  Love what I saw from Fukudome, and DeRosa hit some balls hard, but didn't have much to show for it.

Howry and Wood aren't going to blow too many games.

Too true. Though I guess the Theriot experiment is off to a rough start. But again, he's not going to go 0 for 5 every game either.

You'd bet your life on that?  I couldn't be more disgusted with him AND Fonz.  It's COLD!!  Fuckin' deal with it!!

When Kosuke Fukudome hit a three-run homer off Milwaukee closer Eric Gagne to tie the season opener in the bottom of the ninth inning Monday, fans all over Wrigley Field held up professionally made signs with English words on one side and Japanese on the other.

It was meant to be a two-sided version of the phrase "It's Gonna Happen." But something got lost in translation, and the Japanese side read: "It's An Accident."

Doh

For some reason that works.

So, I was going to post this video, in which you can see these signs all over...

... and then make a joke about them being written by the same guy responsible for Chads' spring break Kanji tattoos—the ones that actually read "stupid round eye donkey wrestler" instead of "maximum power" or whatever—but it seems reality beat me to the punch.

I hate Theriot leading off as much, if not more, than most. At the same time I'm not going to flip a lid (nice phrase) because he had one shitty game. If he goes 0 for the series, we've got a new leadoff hitter.

Exactly. The biggest difference between Lou and The Village Idiot who is now in Cincinnati is that Lou will drop a guy down in the line-up if he's not producing.

fair enuf

I also think Pie will be all right.

I must have taken some happy pills, as I've never been so excited after a loss.

I think Pie will be fine too. If that shot he hit in the bottom of the ninth wouldn't have hooked foul, there would have been shirtless hugs aplenty.

It's one game, the division sucks, and with the main challenger led by a dumbass manager with such bullpen luminaries as Gagne and Turdthrow things are fine.

I don't think it's so much that the division sucks as much as the Cubs are fucking good.

I think the Brewers are good, too.  I just hope they continue to weigh themselves down with the dumbass that is Ned.

I think the big difference between the two bullpens yesterday was that Wood had an unusually bad day, and Gagne had a usually bad day.

Was there ever any explanation as to why Gagne was wearing a pair of Fielder's pants?

Why the hell was Crane Kenney ALL OVER the goddamn place?

Also, It's Gonna Happen Guy must be stopped.

From the Jockey:

Quote
When Kosuke Fukudome hit a three-run homer off Milwaukee closer Eric Gagne to tie the season opener in the bottom of the ninth inning Monday, fans all over Wrigley Field held up professionally made signs with English words on one side and Japanese on the other.

It was meant to be a two-sided version of the phrase "It's Gonna Happen." But something got lost in translation, and the Japanese side read: "It's An Accident."

Doh

Holy shit, that's awesome.

Awesome and really sad.  All the Japanese watching probably thing we are just a complete bunch of dumbshits.

Of course, if 200 million Japanese think we are dumbshits, do we care?  Probably not, but lump that in with the 45 million Iraqis and the 75 million Iranians and the 1.6 million Chinese, and then you're talking some real numbers here.

I think that some of your figures may be inaccurate.

Besides, what's so dumb about accidentally shipping the triggers for some nukes to Taiwan?
