And they got swept at Wrigley Field North--oops, I meant to say "at home." The way the Cubs fans take over Miller Park is fun to watch.
The score is now 11-1; Fontenot just picked up two RBIs with a double. I wonder how tall he really is? He looks like he's around 5'4" or so.
I've been to two Cubs/Brewers games - one in Milwaukee and one at Wrigley. Those games were so much fun, as many insults get yelled back and forth between the FIB and Cheesehead fans.
Looks like the Manny Ramirez trade that was all but closed has fallen apart and he'll stay with the Red Sox. It's like a passion play they need to put on every couple years.
The reports now are saying that the trade has gone through.
He's going to the Dodgers, not the Marlins.
In fact, I can't think of any other examples (where the same animal gets dressed up, then eaten).
Does the piglet in tiny boots to protect from the mud count? If it then gets turned into bacon? (Mmm, bacon)
He's going to the Dodgers, not the Marlins.
Yeah, I was just coming in to fix my post with the details, but you beat me to it. Manny goes to the Dodgers. Jason Bay goes to the Sox, and the Pirates get Brandon Moss and Craig Hansen from the Sox and Andy LaRoche and Bryan Morris from the Dodgers.
And Griffey, Jr, is now a White Sox.
"a White Sox"
See, I know it's correct, but it grates.
Yay Allyson and family!
And oh, Indexed is wonderful. I read it regularly and forgot all about it a while ago. Thanks for the reminder!
