Nope.  He is in critical condition.  He was leaning over a railing and was more than likely drunk.

QuoteThe man was "horsing around" with friends on the ramp on the south side of the stadium near Gate A when he fell at least 20 feet about 9:30 p.m., said Tony Robinson, a spokesman for the D.C. Sports and Entertainment Commission, which oversees RFK.

This is such a sad sad day. I had to remove Nomar from lineup. It does not look good for him. I was doing some reading on what happened to him and all I can say is recover quickly which I doubt will happen.  :(

He tore his groin. there is no quick recovery from that. 3-4 months at the shortest, and that's without surgery.

It is freaking snowing at Wrigley field today. It looks like it stopped for now. I just hope it gets a little warmer here by Wednesday because that is when I am going to Wrigley.

Cool. I'm going to the O's game on Friday.  I think they have about an equal chance of going to the WS as the Cubs so maybe I'll see ya there.

Well the Cubs game was blast. I got to see Derek Lee become the hottest hitter in baseball with his two homers. It was not as cold as I thought it would be. Each time the sun came out the crowd cheered. It was first experience in the bleacher seats. All these years I have been going to Wrigley and I never knew they segreated from the rest of the population of the ball park. It was quite the experience.

Yes going to the game is always the best Sammy can live in Derek's shadow for now. I don't think he will keep up this power but for now, Woot! I have Derek Lee on Fantasy League.    :)

Oh crap!! It may be rained out tomorrow, I hope.  59 Degrees and rain forecasted. If they postpone it till Sat. then there's a big street party with bands next to Camden Yards and I'd like to do both. In Baltimore, there's nothing like going to the game then getting completely blitzed at a street party.  Getting drunk with the possibility of getting mugged is such a rush.

It was 55 and the wind blowing out. It sounds like would have fun just going. At Wrigley there are bars galore and just so many different types of people to watch. Cubbie fans I think are the best but I am biased.

Have fun at the game Grumpus!

I went to the Nationals game on Saturday and I had a great time.  It was my first major sports event.

The seats were great...there is not a bad seat in RFK.  We were by the right field foul line...the only complaint is we couldn't see the jumbotron.

The greatest part of the game was the rain delay...the second one was hilarious.  There tarp couldn't be pulled because there was so much rain on it.  Three fans ran on the field to help and security carted them off.  We were all cheering let them go.  We were also cheering the grounds crew on.  It took them nearly an hour to get the tarp on the field.

I think we should all go to a game here...it would be a blast.

Wait, there's a thread supporting the Cubs on this board?

I'm not sure I can be a part of you guys anymore.

I do not support the Cubs.  I am not really a sports fan, but I do support local teams when they have weekend games or when I am not riding the metro.

You have a point there.  But Comiskey Park was twenty times better than Wrigley.

I won't make a comment yet but is the neighborhood still as bad as it used to be? I went to Comiskey Park once and was scared out of mind getting there. I know the date was July 11 and the year was around 1983.

I think the cubs dropped the first two and won the third.  Yay for a full game from Mark Prior.

Hate to say it but Mark Prior stayed in because he did not trust the bullpen. They are just sucking on getting saves.

Yeah,  you know he wouldn't have been out there if Dusty thought there was a really good chance the bullpen wouldn't screw it up.

Just in case we need to remember how bad it can be...here are 20 major events that have occurred since the Chicago Cubs last laid claim to a World Series championship:

1. Radio was invented. (Cubs fans get to hear their team lose)

2. TV was invented. (Cubs fans get to see their team lose)

3. Baseball added 14 teams. (Cubs fans get to see and hear their team lose to more clubs)

4. George Burns celebrated his 10th, 20th, 30th, 40th, 50th, 60th, 70th, 80th, 90th and 100th birthdays.

5. Halley's comet passed Earth - twice.

6. Harry Caray was born... and died. Incredible, but true!

7. The NBA, NHL, NFL, IHL, and ISL were formed. (Each of those Chicago teams have each won championships)

8. Man landed on the moon. (As have several home runs given up by Cubs pitchers)

9. Sixteen U.S. presidents were elected.

10. There were 11 amendments added to the Constitution.

11. Prohibition was created and repealed.

12. The Titanic was built, set sail, sank, was discovered, and became the subject of major motion pictures. The latter giving Cubs fans hope that something that finishes on the bottom can come out on top.

13. Wrigley Field was built and becomes
the oldest park in the National League.

14. Flag poles were erected on Wrigley Field roof to hold all of the team's future World Series pennants. (Those flag poles have since rusted and been taken down)

15. A combination of 40 Summer and Winter Olympic games have been held.

16. Thirteen baseball players have won the Triple Crown. (Several thanked Cubs pitchers)

17. Bell-bottoms came in style, went out of style, and came back in.

18. The Cleveland Indians, Boston Red Sox, Arizona Diamondbacks, NY Mets(2) and the Florida Marlins(2) have all won the World Series.

19. The Cubs played 14,153 regular-season games. (They lost the majority of them)

20. Alaska, Arizona, Hawaii, ! Oklahoma , and New Mexico were added to the Union.

Go Cubbies!
