OH NO! The Cubs are 0-1! Oh my God this team was supposed to CONTEND! Everyone should be fired! Dale Sveum in particular! How dare he pull a pitcher in the 8th inning after he threw 110 pitches in the first game of the season! he should have left Dempster in there to complete the game and throw 135 pitches so we can win the all important 1st game of the season, after all it was a MUST-WIN game! How dare he go to the bullpen in the first game of the season and allow them a chance to do what they are being paid to do! This is insanity! Everyone would have understood completely had Dempster stayed in and thrown 120 pitches with the last one being a 3-run jack. Everyone would have said "Good for Dale, sticking with his horse Dempster and riding his old tired arm as far as he can go on April 5th! I know I would have!

AAAAARRRRRGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!!

PANIC! PANIC!! PANIC!!!

I am not a legal expert, how many times do I have to say it?

If you hate Laurence, then don't listen - don't comment. When he co-hosts the B&B show, take that day off ... listen to an old podcast of a Bernstein solo show and jerk off all day.

Anyone with a half a brain knows you let Dempster get one more out in the 8th. Fuckin playin match ups when all that had to be done is taking a look at what's been happenin right in front of you all game. Soriano taking free reign to try to steal 3rd base that ended up costing the Cubs another run. Bench scrub guy running to home on contact when you know the corner infielders are in. Was this not taught in spring training? Why are the Cubs swinging at first pitches all game? Where's the new found emphasis on baseball smarts I was told about. Theo needs to forward the text script again because no one got the message.

The future holds the possibility to be great or terrible, and since it has not yet occurred it remains simultaneously both.

How many years does Werth have left on his deal....that's bad money

rpb is wrong. Phil McCracken is useful.

RPB is right. You suck.

I kept hearing about how Sveum has been preaching "aggressive baserunning." Aggressive baserunning is risky baserunning; isn't this then antithetical to the risk-averse, your-27-outs-are-precious model of baseball that Epstein's Red Sox won with, which they pretty much took from Earl Weaver's Orioles? So, in short, what's this cocksucker doing here?

I dont think aggressive baserunning means steal more. I think he means better baserunning in general.

Reed is a robust O for 2 with 2 strikeouts so far.

I would cover for SHARK, Drop In, Dave in Champaign, my Mom, and Urlacher's Missing Neck. After that, the list gets pretty thin. There are a few people about whom I would definitely fabricate charges.

Grindy dudes getting it done

There is not a damned thing wrong with people who are bull shitters.

The redemption of Kerry Wood starts now.
