I didn't see this "save 2nd base" ad, so I'm not exactly sure what it entailed, but it sounds just as misguided and ill-conceived as the "save the ta-ta's" campaign from a few years ago. The point of breast cancer awareness has nothing to do with trying to save breasts, but rather trying to save women's lives.



This doesn't sell like Image

It's all about the marketing.

That "L" flag just looks natural.

This is the kind of attitude that prevented the Cubs from paying Madlock :D

I see your point, but its a rare special body part and if the attention the body part gets can help draw people to the cause, then its all good.

Why the fuck are we seeing Valbuena again so much at 3B? Didn't they just come out and say Olt had earned a more consistent look?


Don't know if I can agree Olt has earned anything with his .167/.227/.353 line, but I can agree we've seen enough of Valbuena.





You are correct , Olt hasn't earned shit...he is a butcher @ 3rd n can't hit for shit.

And Valbuena is not terrible


But I see RFDC's point. Might as well give Olt a long stretch of starts and see what you have. No harm in it.

It would be nice to win it before the NFL returns to its rightful place as the main event.

Olt needs that stretch to come in better playing conditions as well. I'm getting fed up...but we do need to figure it out sooner rather than later.

Watching the different telecasts, I realize that both teams have entertaining broadcasters, just for wildly different reasons.

Farmio went into some bit about adjusting the ballsack, But DJ didn't take the bait and Farmer played it straight claiming he was referring to the bag of balls behind the plate.

how can you watch Danks pitch? It's like watching somebody play Russian Roulette. I can't do it.

Danks will be gone real soon...every pitch should be on pitchtrex ..it should be permanent in the corner of the screen every game.

Agreed. Only fans and players should be allowed to criticize and call out umps, not broadcasters.

Was that Sutcliffe? He was ripping that guy a new one by explaining to the audience why he is only a "part time" big league ump.

The Cubs aren't going to come close to winning this game but they are going to wear that home plate umpire out for the rest of this one.
