Have they always had walk-up music at Wrigley? I thought they were amish?

Beckham has 3 doubles in the past 4 games? Still not getting many hits, but at least he is making them count finally.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jun 12, 2010 -> 04:33 PM) I really wish Mark Kotsay didn't suck as a starter, he's silently hilarious. Why is it that our s***ty players are our funniest players? (Teahen, Kotsay, and Lillibridge) Yes, i said Lillibridge. His twitter is pretty funny. "Espn had top 10 most anticipated debuts. I was number 11, dang just missed the cut. But you all remember it.... Right?" "I'm blending in at the game not wearing anything with my name on it. Trying to keep a low profile you know . ;" "With draft aproachin figr I'd start all over and try it again. My new name is Benito Latos, I'm 19, from somwhere really south." "At Niagra Falls, it's pretty cool but man do I have to pee"

I hear some thunder crashing right now in NW Indiana. No rain yet, but pretty dark skies.

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Jun 12, 2010 -> 04:27 PM) Why is it that both guys drilled are our top performers from yesterday? I think AJ's was an accident. Rios, I'm not so sure.

Paulie smoked that one.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 12, 2010 -> 04:25 PM) 5 hits in 4 IP isn't terrible, since he hasn't walked anyone. When you get 2 on and 0 out twice in the same game, yea, your kind of playing w/ fire by getting out of that jam twice.

That a boy Juan! Way to bunt it hard at the 3B who is playing 25 feet in.

Buehrle is really playing w/ fire in this game. I'd have to think if this was a decent offense, he would have allowed at least 3 runs by now.

Buehrle is NOT getting that pitch on the inside at all. Christ.

Why does it seem like Alexei is playing so far up the middle?

Charlie Weis.

All 3 of these teams will play tonight..... http://sports.espn.go.com/ncaa/baseball/cw...d?date=20100612 Alabama at 5PM. Cal State at 6PM. Arkansas at 8PM.

Just making a list here based on ESPN's CWS bracket, and our list of draft picks.... 5 (158): Andrew Wilkins, 1B, L/R, Arkansas 10 (308): Ross Wilson, 2B, R/R, Alabama 26 (788): Kevin Rath, LHP, Cal State Fullerton I think we just have these 3 guys left in the tourney.

Anyone have a list? Last year it was really fun watching Jared Mitchell play on ESPN for LSU. So who do we have this year that we can watch on ESPN? I don't follow college baseball very much, I don't really have any answers.

For SouthSider2k5, can you please BOLD all the players that are signed, so it's easier to see? Like.... 1 (13): Chris Sale, LHP, Florida Gulf Coast 2 (63): Jacob Petricka, RHP, Indiana State 3 (95): Addison Reed, RHP, San Diego State 3s (114): Thomas Royse, RHP, Louisville SIGNED - Great Falls 4 (128): Matthew Grimes, RHP, Mill Creek HS (GA) 5 (158): Andrew Wilkins, 1B, L/R, Arkansas Thanks. EDIT: So the second I posted it, you made them blue. That's fine too.

I think more people would have had a problem if Kane was acting like he was a 50 year old man and standing straight up with his hands to his side acting like a perfect gentleman. This is why people love Kane. He is a fun loving 21 year old who is enjoying the hell out of his life right now. Like another poster said, this is just older people being shocked by what the younger generations do and in reality, I am sure when they were Kane's age, their parents thought it was disgusting when they did things like getting drunk too. Maybe in 30 years I will see people drinking on TV after they accomplished the biggest thing in their life and I will be upset too.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jun 12, 2010 -> 10:51 AM) He said on 6 times in a row, lmao. Anyways, I don't think Colvin should be playing everyday, he should be platooning. The guy's not real good against left handed pitching. And to me, he still lacks plate discipline. He chases 38% of balls outside the zone. Once he becomes more and more exposed, he will struggle and the league will adjust. If they value Colvin in any way, then he would be starting in AAA like he should. They had him skip AAA entirely, just to sit on the bench. The sad part is, he is actually producing on the Cubs, and STILL does not get a sufficient amount of ABs.

QUOTE (Tex @ Jun 11, 2010 -> 10:43 PM) Are you suggesting that kids shouldn't be at a hockey party? Doesn't that hurt the future of the franchise? It would seem like building the base from the kids on up would be a great idea. There is a lot worse he could have done, but he did step over the line, maybe not far, but he was over the line. I'm suggesting that you take your kid to a hockey party, and you should expect this sort of behavior. I find it hard to believe any kids were shocked to see Kane with a drink in his hands, when they have seen people will drinks in their hands 40-50 times already that day. You don't take your kid to the beach and complain about him getting a sunburn.

I don't have a problem w/ it at all. It was the highlight of his life, and he is king of the city. He is 21 years old, I wouldn't expect him act like he is 30 years old. And like the above poster said, if you are bringing out kid out to a crowd of 2 million rowdy fans, you can expect he will be seeing some people getting insanely drunk, throwing beers, falls down, throwing up, and doing things much worse. It's not like Kane got drunk at a wedding, or Hawks convention. It was a massive hockey party. Not an issue at all, IMO.

L-L-L-L-L-Lou Pi-Pi-Pi-Pinella's comments http://www.chicagobreakingsports.com/2010/...s-critique.html Basically, Stoney said that if Colvin is going to be in the majors, he needs to be playing every day, and not being wasted as a bench player (which is something most Cubs fans would agree with, and what us Sox fans were talking about when the decision was made to bring Colvin up). Then Lou came back with the ever illogical "He isn't a coach, he doesn't know anything" response.

Hopefully you guys can check out all my photos from the parade..... http://www.facebook.com/?ref=logo#!/ph...p;id=1322456454 I tried to tag as many players as I could recognize.

Awesome parade. It was insanely crowded, and all the people who climbed up on the street cleaner made me laugh.

I used to have a Honda Elite when I was 15, but then sold it when I was 17 and got a car.
