The other day Cubs radio played a recording of Harry singing the seventh inning stretch Take Me Out To The Ballgame in the bottom of the seventh.  I’ve been trying to understand why it sounds so good, even though Harry is not really a singer.  The answer is he sings behind the beat.  He’s on beat but he sings behind it.  Johnny Cash does that.  Billie Holiday is famous for that.

twas a joke, Dave.  We say "why."

This sh!t's hilarious.. The democrat party of today is no different than the one of the 1800's. Hypocrite's, bigot's, racist's... Amazing that someone with half a brain would vote for a democrat..

DDK's activate Byron Buxton, drop He Seong Kim. Move made.

Life begins for most people when they are aware enough to realize how old they are. The Bears moved SF when I was like 5 years old, so in essence they've played there my whole life.  I've never been to a live game, but I've talked with tons of folks over the years who have been. Nostalgia is a powerful drug. Something to do with forgetting the bad and only remembering the good.

That said, it would sadden me to see them leave, but at the same time, the chance for a domed stadium (it had better be if they do move) so that they can host a SB is a powerful drug. Its easy to see why moving from the political cess-pool machine currently headed by Lori Lightweight and her cronies is also a powerful incentive. And not having to deal with the brain-dead lead weight that is the Park District would be a definite plus....

I'm still kind of mixed, however considering that financial burden will be laid out on the citizens (there's no way the McCaskey's pay for much of the thing), and with the way Crook County is run you just KNOW it will be overbudget at least 2x or more.

I still think its a negotiating ploy... but we'll see....
