Had to comment on this from last night's chat:

Just heard some heckler yell, "HEY BARNEY YOU BIG PURPLE DINOSAUR!"

Stay classy, South Side.

Heh--actually, as heckling goes, I think this is pretty good. Good balance of funny-in-a-totally-goofy-way with inoffensive all-in-good-funness. Which, sadly, is kind of rare.

3. Gern Blanston Posted: June 19, 2012 at 12:13 PM (#4161047)

I mean, it sure beats the hell out of the "Pujols mows my lawn" shirts and the like.

4. Brian C Posted: June 19, 2012 at 12:37 PM (#4161061)

Oh sure, didn't want to make it sound like I was offended by it or anything.

5. SouthSideRyan Posted: June 19, 2012 at 02:36 PM (#4161195)

I'm sure if they knew he was half Japanese the heckling would've differed.

6. Gern Blanston Posted: June 19, 2012 at 04:20 PM (#4161332)

I think Sunday night's game dropped the Cubs' defensive efficiency ranking from 3 to 5 all by itself.

7. Brian C Posted: June 19, 2012 at 05:31 PM (#4161401)

I'm sure if they knew he was half Japanese the heckling would've differed.

I dunno, he's too little for a Godzilla taunt to have much effect.

Chris Archer goes tomorrow against Strasburg.

I finally got MLB.TV to sync with the WGN broadcast because I couldn't take Hawk Harrelson for more then two innings. I am starting to wonder if DeJesus will be on the market.

#9 Feel free to use the tips that I provided on my Radio Delay page on my personal web site. No ads or anything sinister, just trying to spread the wealth. I was driven to it by the likes of Tim McCarver as well as a desire to listen to the more descriptive play-by-play from the radio guys. Cheers!

11. SteveM. Posted: June 19, 2012 at 09:45 PM (#4161625)

I have a DVR which makes makes fairly easy. The hard part is the MLB.TV is sometimes ahead, sometimes behind. The other downside is that I don't want to turn to the NBA Finals to check on the score once I have paused the live broadcast.

12. SouthSideRyan Posted: June 19, 2012 at 10:02 PM (#4161638)

Record the Cubs game and follow along 2 seconds (or whatever) behind. When you flip to the NBA game, flip back by going to resume recording on your DVR rather than going straight to the channel.

13. SteveM. Posted: June 19, 2012 at 10:03 PM (#4161641)

I believe Sveum is trying make Camp's arm fall off.

14. SteveM. Posted: June 19, 2012 at 10:14 PM (#4161653)

Campy was safe on that pickoff.

15. Walks Clog Up the Bases Posted: June 19, 2012 at 10:29 PM (#4161661)

So... Marmol in the 9th? Eek.

16. SteveM. Posted: June 19, 2012 at 10:32 PM (#4161664)

That is why we need some insurance here.

17. SteveM. Posted: June 19, 2012 at 10:35 PM (#4161665)

Unfuckingbelievable. Guy on 3rd with no outs and the Cubs can't get him home.

18. Walks Clog Up the Bases Posted: June 19, 2012 at 10:40 PM (#4161667)

Well I'm sure stranding the leadoff triple won't come back to bite these guys in the ass.

19. SteveM. Posted: June 19, 2012 at 10:42 PM (#4161668)

Marmol back as closer. What could go wrong?

20. Walks Clog Up the Bases Posted: June 19, 2012 at 10:42 PM (#4161669)

As the Cubs were stranding the lead-off triple, Aramis Ramirez hit a go-ahead grand slam in Milwaukee.

21. SteveM. Posted: June 19, 2012 at 10:50 PM (#4161671)

Jesus, the fracking walks by Marmol drive me insane.

22. SteveM. Posted: June 19, 2012 at 10:52 PM (#4161673)

Holy crap, Marmol got the save.

23. Walks Clog Up the Bases Posted: June 19, 2012 at 10:52 PM (#4161674)

Thank god for the corpse of Orlando Hudson.

24. SteveM. Posted: June 19, 2012 at 10:52 PM (#4161675)

And let me say that I have been impressed by Clevinger's play at 1B in this series.
