Obviously...
I have not posted ('til today) for over 4 years. I understand everybody is REALLY busy so I might occasionally post something here and see if anybody sees it (or posts). I like this far better than Facebook because when you you post on Facebook it seems to go EVERYWHERE (I have no clue who does and doesn't see it)!
They have updated this site since 4 years ago so when I have time I will try to "fix" it up a bit.

Time, Time, Time....
where has it gone.
Over the last month and a half:
-I have discovered that some actually read this!
-Celebrated my youngest daughter, Renee's 21st b'day (@ Miller Park).
-Ran into TLoch @ Miller Park (w/100's of other Loch's) that same day. He's looking well (and doing well).
-Saw TVetta 2 days earlier w/JC and Dino @ Miller Park (he's well as well). Highlight? I was called an "old F*CK" multiple times by a twenty-something gal (I think tailgated too long). Amusing!
-Neifi goes to Detroit (and Dtroit starts losing more than winning)!!
- Celebrated Dino's 50th w/MKrause (and new wife), MPusatera (and Melanie), Nels (w/Pam).
About 18 of us (Dino's business partners, as well) had dinner @ Skoozies (right around the corner from MP's 2nd home/condo). Spent an hour on train (w/Dino and Kim) going no where as tornadoes past bye. Thank goodness we had beer with us!!
- The White Sox die a horrible (or fantastically amusing) death!! Maybe the best team on paper lose 10 of 12 (or so) games down the stretch and are knocked out of the playoff hunt with more than a week of baseball left!! What a shame!!
That's it for now (probably too much for any one person to read in one sitting). I will get back at this on a more regular basis.
I have talked to many about getting a golf game together but I have not even picked up a club this year!! It would be the first year that I haven't golfed at all in 20 years!! I'm kinda hopin' to keep it that way.
Please feel free to post a comment so we (me) know you're out there.
The annual Christmas Eve get together will be Sunday this year. Plan accordingly.

I just can't let this sht go!!
Righty Trachsel starts. NEIFI PLAYS!! Walker sits!! Yah, Walkers BA has been dropping but...if you look at when Dusty started to move him(Walker) consistantly in & out of the lineup you'll see that his BA starts going south!!
Cedeno's BA has been going south for a while. His reward? Dusty moves the rookie to 2nd in the lineup.
Cub's win? SO WHAT!! DUSTY'S AN IDIOT!!
Find me someone in Chicago who likes Neifi?
DLee back on 15 day DL (see my April 21st post)!
White Sox struggles? Doesn't hurt!!

On this day in in history...
Daniel "Dino" Damato records his first hole-in-one at the famed Sportsman's Golf Course in Northbrook, Illinois on a pleasant Saturday morning, July 22nd, 2006!!
CONGRATS TO DINO!!
On a more important note...
The Cubs are currently 37 & 58, the 2nd worst record in all of baseball (2.5 games behind the Pittsburgh Pirates)!! The .389 winning percentage translates to a 66 & 99 season for '06!!
Interesting Cub tidbits:
7th in the NL in hitting (out of 16 teams).
Last in .OBP (by .12)
Last in walks!
Last in RBI's (by 40)!
10th in ERA.
First in walks given up!
Cub's payroll 7th (of 30). Pirates 27th (and half the Cub's payroll)!
7th in payroll (MLB) ,7th in hitting (NL), 10th in pitching (NL) and own the 2nd worst record in all of baseball?

Can we say...
FIELD DAY?
After the 13-7 Sunday, late afternoon, embarrassing loss to the dreaded MY Mets the reporters should have a ton of fun with Dusty!!
Dusty's mid-game comments about needing more power should get some good play!
After the Cub's 4 day All-Star break, DLee should get some needed rest (after 2 days of b-ball)!!?? I'm sure DLee didn't want any part of the wind blowin'out!!
In the 6th, basis loaded, the rook has thrown enough pitches in 95 degree heat - take him out!!
(I guess he stayed in because Dustaroo said the kid knows how to get himself out of jams!!) Say WHAT?
Dusty now has a reason never to play Walker again. It will be Neifi, Neifi, Neifi (I HATE Neifi)!!
Joe Morgan? Idiot!! Cubs needed more power and more pitching!! OK.
What team wouldn't say that?
I would like a 40 hr 2b, a 50 hr LF, a .390 CF, Tejada at short and...
some stud pitchers (whoever they are)!!
