Prior Reward

Mark Prior - Pitcher of the Month for August.

More Night Games and School Profit

Looks like an agreement to add 12 more night games is in the works. Also, a Wrigley area school is renting extra parking spaces for Cubs game attendees. As usual, local area residents are upset of extra traffic. Fine. Are they willing to pay extra taxes to replace the lost revenue for the school? Doubtful. Let the people park.

Stop or I'll Get Thrown Out At Home

Ramon Martinez, with his 5th baserunning mistake in about as many innings, got nailed at home yesterday. Shockingly, Waivin' Wendell had the "stop" sign on. So Wendell gets a pass, right?

Nope.

He's been so bad that the players are likely conditioned to ignore him. They figure their guess is no worse than Wendell's. So was Wendell correct yesterday? Yes. Blameless? No.

Don't know much about history...

Desipio with the obersvation of the day. Tony LaRoooosa is upset about Cubs pitchers throwing inside. Desipio observes, "Who was the greatest pitcher in Cardinals' history? A guy named Bob Gibson who used to plunk guys in the head if they even thought about getting a hit off of him."

Brilliant.
