Trick or Treat

Submitted by Dr. Joseph Hecht on

On this morning's WSCR-AM, The Score sports talk show, hosts Mike Mulligan and Brian Hanley asked for input on what the Cub players were handing out for Halloween as trick and treaters knocked on their door. Some of the obvious treats were:

Derrick Lee's house was handing out double plays

Carlos Zambrano was handing out Gatorade

Ted Lilly was giving out tickets to NLDS game #4

Jim Hendry was shoveling out donuts

The Cub infielders were passing out Butterfingers...

I know our readers can apple polish this bit up; I just ask to please hold the razor blades.

Lou was handing out blank lineup cards - except Fonzie was still in the Lead - off position. Trick or treat!

Submitted by tbone on Fri, 10/31/2008 - 10:31 pm

Lou handed out little wrapped up bags of Cubbie Swagger but when the kids got home and opened them, there was nothing inside.

mannytrillo was handing out dusty baker playing cards. chad was handing out mullet wigs. va phil was handing out minor leaguers. silent towel was handing out infield rakes. transmission was handing out lightning bolts. real neal was handing out cliff notes of The Wealth of Nations. TLFC was handing out Ted Lilly bobble heads. crunch was handing out seedlings. mikec was handing out arguments. navigator was handing out "How to be a jackass" books. yours truly was handing out copies of the communist manifesto.

Aha, except autobiographies are written by people about themselves. So now dave and navigator are the same person?? Those schizophrenic arguments must get really tiring at times.

That doesn't preclude 'The Navigator' from buying up all the copies. If it were his autobiography, it would be called 'The High Life with Howard Hughes' or something.

DC used to hand out haikus. Not for a few years now.

I think you mean 'the percentage of people that go to the main article' - I am sure that many of them don't read it. Not a dig, just saying that you go to a web page, glance it quickly to confirm that it doesn't have what you're looking for, then hit 'back' and try the next Google guess.

we get a pretty consistent traffic flow, about 50% are direct hits (people loading us up from their bookmarks or typing in the URL). While I certainly don't know the exact number that actually read every article in its entirety, I do know it's a lot more than the 15-50 people who regularly contribute to our comments. While there are certainly some comment lurkers that just read the comments and never post, it's still a small percentage of total overall readership...very small. And none of that even includes those who just read the RSS feed who currently don't get the comments at all.

I read a lot of blogs, a lot of websites (25-100 semi-regular basis), I read the comments on maybe 3 or 4 of them and contribute to about 2 of them. Now I'm not just basing my above assumption on that, it's also based on all the emails I get of people telling me to put all of Phil's and Dr. Hecht's info in posts instead of comments.

    I’ve got Tim’s The Last Out too, along with some other prints of his work.

    Very well played game all around tonight.

  • crunch (view)

    best starter and 2 top hitters from the team gone...and they keep on winning.

    little ahead of myself here, but the RSox got 9 outs to find 6+ runs.

    Richard Gallardo just left the Smokies game with an arm injury after going to the ground following a pitch. Doesn’t sound good at all.

    Phil, do you think Wiggins will start out in ACL?

  • azbobbop (view)

    The level of conversation on this site is intelligent, reasoned and informative. Miles ahead of other Cub sites.

    one batted ball in play (F-9 by Stevens)
    one walk (B. Davis) 
    one HBP (B. Davis)
    two strikeouts (Peralta & Escobar - both looking)
    three swing & miss

    Prior to the Cactus League game at Papago Park, three Cubs pitchers threw "live" BP on Field 1 at the Cubs Sloan Park complex, including RHRP Ethan Roberts (June 2022 TJS) and Cubs 2023 2nd round draft pick RHP Jaxon Wiggins (February 2023 TJS).  

    Wiggins last threw "live" BP three weeks ago before being shut down for a couple of weeks, and this was the first time Roberts has thrown to hitters in almost two years. 

    JAXON WIGGINS: 
    ONE INNING:
    25 pitches (11 strikes)
    no batted balls in play
    two walks (Suriel and J. Diaz) 
    three strikeouts (Carico, Lubo, and Escobar - all three swinging)
    six swing & miss
    two fouls 
    three called strikes 
    14 called balls 
    one WP 

    ETHAN ROBERTS: 
    ONE INNING 
    15 pitches (7 strikes) 
    two batted balls in play (G-3 by Carico and L-9 by Suriel) 
    two walks (Lubo and Carico)
    no strikeouts  
    no swing & miss 
    two fouls 
    three called strikes 
    eight called balls 
    one WP 

    Mat Peters was bumped by Justin Steele from his scheduled game work at Giants, so he threw two innings of "live" BP with Wiggins & Roberts. 

    MAT PETERS: 
    TWO INNINGS 
    44 pitches (23 strikes) 
    five batted balls in play (F-7, L-7, F-7, G-6, G-3) 
    three walks 
    two strikeouts (both Lubo and both looking)
    six swing & miss 
    three fouls 
    nine called strikes
    21 called balls 
    three WP

    wall stole a HR from busch...double.  nice to see him destroy a curve ball.

    upon further viewing, that might not have been a homer in too many parks...it had a lot of hang time, though.
