    harry caray was one of the worst announcers in the history of baseball. his grandson sucked, too, but in a different way. skip was OK, but he did braves games.

    You probably had a chalkie white bong rip before commenting on harry so I'll give you a pass.

    Chip sucked I agree..he had big shoes (and glasses) to fill so maybe he felt the pressure.

    Saw my first game at chicago 18th august
    Was fun..great time..cubs won :)

    Where was your seat, Dimi? I was in the center field bleachers. You got to see a great game, that's for certain!
    i was at the bleechers...left on the big screen.,,.up,last row
    Nice!! Flew all the way from Greece to be a bleacher bum with us! I always tell people going to Wrigley for the first time that if you're only going to one game, sit in the bleachers. If you're going to more than one game, sit in the bleachers at least once. It's an experience unlike any other outfield seating in MLB!

    It was about 2 weeks ago he finally reported to Tennessee, then was promoted up to Iowa on the 22nd. Here's an interesting article with some insight from his soon-to-be Chanticleer-tattooed teammate who we all love:

    What a catch by Russell. The range he has I feel like he can get to anything.

    He has been outstanding in the field this season.

    His bat has also been solid. More than 80 RBIs and 19 HRs.

    Chapman makes me nervous, still. How is it that he's been dominant his entire career but now that he's with the Cubs, he's just another typical Cubs closer allowing multiple baserunners and giving up runs every outing?

    It doesn't help that Travis Wood is the MVP of every opposing team we face.

    The only good things to come out of Pittsburgh are Dan Marino, Kurt Angle, Night of the Living Dead, and Primanti's sandwiches.

    Yeah, he was all over the place last night. What I don't get is why is it that the catcher can't seem to catch up to his fastball, yet the batters continue to foul off and get contact on his 103 mph heater? He was def wild, but the catcher should have had a couple of those that went to the backstop.

    Wonder how much pitching 3rd day in a row had to do with it. I'd sit him today and tomorrow.

    whatever. I want to avoid the WC at all costs. if there is a WC game, do we go cueto or bum? cueto is pitching better but bum is bum.
