@BigFatHippo: And then waking up in hell only to realize that Albert Pujols is satan and Busch stadium is, you know, hell.

@big o: Nope - you won't find any New Zealanders on the Australian baseball team. However, there is a New Zealander called Scott Campbell (he's in the Blue Jays system) who might make the Canadian team - his grandfather is Canadian or something. He played in the All Star Futures Game this year.

@IowaCubs: @BSA: @Grey: Or like waking up in Iowa, slapping self in head and proclaiming,........ "Damm, I'm in Iowa." How's that for a wakeup call?

@Grey: That's what sucks about all these monochromatic autos. Been there to the point of putting in the key in the door and wondering why it wouldn't work. Geez, I hated that Light Blue Malibu (sounds like a country song). Oh Lord why did you send me this light blue malibu? Man I am tired - too much demographics research tonight.

@IowaCubs: @BSA: And then realizing it's not your car.

@IowaCubs: Add to that pounding the top of the car door with your fist till you realized it hurts, your bleeding, and now there is a dent in your car. Ah, winter and closer talk.

@BSA: Or like waking up this morning to start the car and having to break in to your own car because the doors were frozen shut.

Oh gawd, thinking about closers right now is like getting hit in the face with a snowball packed with ice chips in the middle. OUCH!

Kerry Wood is going to be offered arbitration by the Cubs today, and he’s expected to accept it… Gregg becomes Howry, Marmol becomes Marmol and Wood closes…

@Shogun: Hoffman, Fuentes, Wood, etc. will probably find places to close, so there's a chance neither Rodney or Zumaya close. @big o: That sounds like a well-balanced ulcer.

i’ll have two donkey-corns and a brain freeze to go , please .

No way Rodney gets the ball in the ninth next year, is there? That’d be ugly. I had just assumed that they were grooming Zumaya. Neither looks like a great option to me.
