Obviously, I need a quote category.
“You don’t want sympathy,” Baker said, “but at least some understanding to what’s happening and where we are. I looked at it today and we’re two games out of the playoffs if we stop today. That’s a pretty good position as badly as things have gone.” – cubs.com
The whole article is great, because Dusty uses a metaphor (always great fun) and we stay up to the same time thinking about these things. Maybe he should give me a call – I’d totally come in the city to talk lineups.
This is quite a game. Too soon to celebrate because of Tuesday. But quite a game. It’s raining pretty bad at moments everywhere around here, but not long enough to end this game early.
To whoever asked – Wendell Kim already had the bad rep. People were writing things when he came over from the Giants, and then he made his typical 3-4 really bad calls last season to the point where everyone starts to worry whenever there’s a possible play at home. He’s knew he was going to get ripped – because of the Tuesday game and people moving on to giving up the season, it wasn’t as bad as I thought it’d be – and the apology before the radio starts picking it up is always a good move in those situations.
Today, I think all the papers had a Jim Hendry quote about waiting till off season before coach decisions are to be made, as to explain why he wasn’t fired, say, Monday night. But everyone’s presuming he’ll now be quietly let go over the winter – it’s probably take a WS appearance and some massive pull from Dusty to keep him around.
There are kids singing the 7th inning stretch. They actually did a bit harmony. They can actually sing. They actually know all the words! Who let them in here.
