Gary, did you catch the embarrassment this morning?
I think Spurs are deffo looking forward to next season. You’d think with all of the cuts rumored that the boys would actually play well though to save their job.
That was an ugly performance against a team in danger of relegation. Why is Ramos playing Keane so deep lately? He and Berbs work too well together for that. Ramos seems to favor Lennon, because of his disruptive speed, but he is a poor crosser (though he crossed nicely to Berbs for the score today) and doesn’t seem to have the chemistry with Berbs that Keano has.
Loss could have something to do with the wearing of my Cavan County Gaelic football jersey today. Just sayin.
I agree, I don’t get dropping Robbie like that. He’s too “scrappy” around goal to do that (to use a term from this site). My patience for Lennon is running thin as well. What’s the right Cubs parallel for him? Corey Patterson?
New GK Hutton Daws Woody Bale RW: New Hudd New CM with some creativity LW: Jenas/Steed/New (Getting Jenas out of the middle might help him) Berbs Keane
Valencia is playing Getafe on Telemundo. Villa just had an incredible run on goal, but stopped by an equally incredible save by Getafe’s keeper. He’d look good flying around The Lane…
Scott Carson, the keeper for Aston Villa is on loan from Liverpool, but no likely to get a full-time gig there. Perhaps he should be a target. He’s a good young keeper.
Totally agree. Robbo’s been Spurs for a while now, but he’s hurting this team. Third in the PL in scoring, but giving up way to many on the back end. Spurs can’t seem to play with the advantage.
and Chimbonda (who’s definitely outta here. What a disappointing transfer) missing didn’t help anything. If Jenas had taken a moment to set himself instead of blasting the ball off-balanced, Spurs might’ve taken all three points.
I am thrilled that the 2008 version of the Cubs seems to really be working counts and grinding out big pitch counts on the opposition. This is great to see!!
It seems like Lou has finally got this team away from the bad ways of Dusty-ball.
I stay across the river in downtown near the Theater District. It’s nice. Sometimes I visit Carnegie Mellon on business … it seems nice there also. What’s so bad about it?
Seriously, if this isn’t the type of game to get your guys some confidence, what is?
I think we all realize Murton’s not going to be an everyday player for this team. I understand the “why call Matty up if you’re not going to play him,” but come on. It was Pie time there.
But only when the Cubs were tied or losing. When they were winning, he would Lets go Cubs. But most or all of the singers dont know that or arent told.
Dont know why I’m even mad. I guess I would take singing as a major honor and do it out of respect for Harry. But I guess people can say whatever they want. I dont think half these people even know the history of it or know what its all about.
Bob Walk cannot stop complaining about the space given to them in a broadcast booth. He is also complaining about the window in front of them. They keep showing the CSN Chicago booth and apparently feel they deserve the same size booth.
Fun match. Just ended. Valencia takes it 3-1. Morientes stripped off his shirt and ran the length of the pitch when he scored. That type of display in the PL might earn him a couple of aching shins…
how horrible it is taking the letters off the back of a jersey. In 7 innings I’ve gotten 2 of 5 off. And it basically ruined the jersey. You can totally see the old stitch holes. I’ll have to duct tape JOHNSON over the mess haha
I’ve been wondering what to do with my Prior jersey. I just don’t think I want to go through the effort of transforming into a Kevin Hart jersey. I’m also pretty sure I don’t want a Kevin Hart jersey
I just got home and went to Yahoo and I saw in the box score that Ward was in for Lee and I just assumed that Lou was giving Daryle ab’s in a blowout, but then I noticed that “lee left with an undisclosed injury”???
back in the day, that was widely accepted and expected. It would be one thing if he hit him, but a little chin music (or back of the head music) is necessary from time to time
He always seems drunk and disoriented. But last year when they clinched and they interviewed him in the clubhouse, buzzed, he was actually more coherent!
He can now go have a nice Seder dinner. Seriously as far as I can tell he is the only one of the dozen or so Jewish players who is at least moderately observant.
Al ( and Howard as you are lurking somewhere) have a nice Seder too. Being a very bad Jew I will probably be going out for Indian food tonight.
first again?

Even though we all know St. Louis won’t be anywhere near the top in a month, I still hate seeing them there. Kinda itches a little, like a rash

no, it's 2 in the well....
1 to push in.
chi-townbleacherbum - April 19, 2008
What's encouraging me this year so far is...
that we’re able, for the most part, to beat the bad teams. Seemed like the few good Cub teams over the years would always lose to the terrible teams.
kentmeister - April 19, 2008
why is derrick lee
out of the game?
brianp88 - April 19, 2008
Rest.
It seems that way anyway. Pat and Ron are not alarmed and Yahoo doesn’t say anything at all about it.
gary varsho - April 19, 2008
Gary, did you catch the embarrassment this morning?
I think Spurs are deffo looking forward to next season. You’d think with all of the cuts rumored that the boys would actually play well though to save their job.
Bildo1805 - April 19, 2008
Yeah.
That was an ugly performance against a team in danger of relegation. Why is Ramos playing Keane so deep lately? He and Berbs work too well together for that. Ramos seems to favor Lennon, because of his disruptive speed, but he is a poor crosser (though he crossed nicely to Berbs for the score today) and doesn’t seem to have the chemistry with Berbs that Keano has.
I’m chalking it up to anti-Irish bias.
gary varsho - April 19, 2008
Anti-Irish
Loss could have something to do with the wearing of my Cavan County Gaelic football jersey today. Just sayin.
I agree, I don’t get dropping Robbie like that. He’s too “scrappy” around goal to do that (to use a term from this site). My patience for Lennon is running thin as well. What’s the right Cubs parallel for him? Corey Patterson?
Bildo1805 - April 19, 2008
Maybe Lennon would be more like Pie.
Jenas is Corey. He’s such a frustrating player.
gary varsho - April 19, 2008
Agreed.
Would be great if we came out next fall with:
New GK
Hutton
Daws
Woody
Bale
RW: New
Hudd
New CM with some creativity
LW: Jenas/Steed/New (Getting Jenas out of the middle might help him)
Berbs
Keane
O’Hara
Kaboul/New CB
Bent
Steed/Jenas
Cerny
Bildo1805 - April 19, 2008
Yeah.
Valencia is playing Getafe on Telemundo. Villa just had an incredible run on goal, but stopped by an equally incredible save by Getafe’s keeper. He’d look good flying around The Lane…
gary varsho - April 19, 2008
Word is Kaboul
ain’t coming back.
gary varsho - April 19, 2008
Not the worst thing in the world.
I think he has potential, and I like how he seems to be really committed to the team.
I wish he could tell himself “I’m 23, I’m 23, I’m 23” and not expect to be first choice just yet.
Bildo1805 - April 19, 2008
Too cocky for my taste.
gary varsho - April 19, 2008
Also,
Scott Carson, the keeper for Aston Villa is on loan from Liverpool, but no likely to get a full-time gig there. Perhaps he should be a target. He’s a good young keeper.
gary varsho - April 19, 2008
Would like it.
Robbo’s gotta go though. Confidence shot, giving up too many rebounds.
Bildo1805 - April 19, 2008
Yeah.
Totally agree. Robbo’s been Spurs for a while now, but he’s hurting this team. Third in the PL in scoring, but giving up way to many on the back end. Spurs can’t seem to play with the advantage.
gary varsho - April 19, 2008
Having Woodgate
and Chimbonda (who’s definitely outta here. What a disappointing transfer) missing didn’t help anything. If Jenas had taken a moment to set himself instead of blasting the ball off-balanced, Spurs might’ve taken all three points.
gary varsho - April 19, 2008
so Ward can get that
elustrious first hit. Also I heard D Lee had to shave. he will be done in time for 2morrow’s game. lol ok i’m officially retarded.
chi-townbleacherbum - April 19, 2008

Why is Dusty having Corey Patterson (current BA: .200 and dropping) batting leadoff? Heck, why is Corey Patterson in the MLB at all?

Korey
Was I the only one who really liked watching Korey chase high heat from Woody the other night? Some guys never learn…
Jobu - April 19, 2008
I laughed.
Wood went right upstairs. Knew exactly how to pitch him.
gary varsho - April 19, 2008
We need to get the Ginger an AB
fischisgod - April 19, 2008
Yeah.
No reason for he and Pie not to be in this game right now.
gary varsho - April 19, 2008
Agreed
fischisgod - April 19, 2008
agreed
chi-townbleacherbum - April 19, 2008
Bob and Len
don’t know why Lee was taken out. They said there was minimal contact at that play on first.
sue369 - April 19, 2008
we will know for sure in the postgame...
interview with Lou. But my crystal ball, which never lies, says its just for rest and to get D Ward a few more AB’s.
chi-townbleacherbum - April 19, 2008
I'm gonna
hold you to that. ;-)
sue369 - April 19, 2008
At the bottom of yahoo gameday it says
Lee was removed for an undisclosed injury.

oh crap

Oh no.

...I am sure it was precautionary / Cubs up 7-1 at the time….
JB 23 - April 19, 2008
I'm sure he's fine.
But what a bad time for him to even think about an injury. That D-Lee, he’s so hot right now.
Bildo1805 - April 19, 2008
OT: Bron Bron is amazing
simply disgusting
fischisgod - April 19, 2008
Terrible call...
barely touched Bron.
Bildo1805 - April 19, 2008
There is no ceiling with his career.
I really hope he never is a Knick cause thats when I stop rooting for him
fischisgod - April 19, 2008
Bill Simmons, is that you?
just kidding. agreed.
Bildo1805 - April 19, 2008
Love Bill
but i really love Bron Bron.. man crush
fischisgod - April 19, 2008
I'd get a real charge of hugging Melissa
Dempster should feel fortunate.
zevkalman - April 19, 2008
He held on..
for dear life…don’t blame him a bit..
Bump Bailey - April 19, 2008

i started today doing a shot for each Cubs run....
before I start typing jibberish, I just want you to know how sick I am of our offense. literally. lol jk. POUR IT ON!!!!
chi-townbleacherbum - April 19, 2008
Nice job Geo
northsider - April 19, 2008
what's that?
4 walks for Yates? good effort
chi-townbleacherbum - April 19, 2008
9 hits 9 walks 9 runs
Zy Toro Young - April 19, 2008
maybe 9 is the magic number
MinnesotaFan - April 19, 2008
Too early in the season
for magic numbers. Plus it would have to be way more than 9.
Zy Toro Young - April 19, 2008
ONEDEC!
northsider - April 19, 2008
patience
I am thrilled that the 2008 version of the Cubs seems to really be working counts and grinding out big pitch counts on the opposition. This is great to see!!
It seems like Lou has finally got this team away from the bad ways of Dusty-ball.

you may have to come up with new phrase for "bad"
JB 23 - April 19, 2008
Dusty
would be furious at the clogging this inning
kentmeister - April 19, 2008
Dusty would
have gone through quite a few toothpicks this inning. Possibly would have argued with the ump for allowing all these walks
chi-townbleacherbum - April 19, 2008
I feel sorry for the Pirates.
They have a nice stadium, and live in a nice city. Maybe their uniforms are so ugly it somehow has an effect on their performance?
zevkalman - April 19, 2008
Take it from me....
...the city isn’t so great.
Bricks and Ivy - April 19, 2008
When I go there
I stay across the river in downtown near the Theater District. It’s nice. Sometimes I visit Carnegie Mellon on business … it seems nice there also. What’s so bad about it?
zevkalman - April 19, 2008
It has it's areas that are nice...
The area around the park is nice. I guess I’m just comparing it to Chicago and it’s not even close.
I will agree that PNC Park is great.

Logic: An organized way of going completely wrong – with confidence.
BlueSox - April 19, 2008
Lovin the carousel.
This team can grind, this team can hit the big fly.
Ok ok, I know it’s the Pirates. But still. A nice example of what can happen when you play total baseball.

Way to go Ronny

come on murton
MinnesotaFan - April 19, 2008
Matty..
My aren’t we anxious?
Bildo1805 - April 19, 2008
Pie should be in this game.
If he’s not going to play, he should be in AAA getting AB’s instead of languishing on the bench.
gary varsho - April 19, 2008
Yup.
Seriously, if this isn’t the type of game to get your guys some confidence, what is?
I think we all realize Murton’s not going to be an everyday player for this team. I understand the “why call Matty up if you’re not going to play him,” but come on. It was Pie time there.
Reed is hot though.
Bildo1805 - April 19, 2008
orange guy grounds out
send him back down
grifdog - April 19, 2008
Agreed
callup Ryan Harvey
fischisgod - April 19, 2008
The blindfolded Matt Murton

For those of us with no TV coverage…

Also, Dusty loves those unclogging HRs.

It must be painful to have Dusty guiding your favorite baseball team.

at least he is relevant to Chicago...unlike some of the other clowns

JB 23 - April 19, 2008
some really BAD singing......
MinnesotaFan - April 19, 2008
These 7th Inning singers are pissing me off.
WHY do people CONTINUE to say “Lets get some runs” when the Cubs are WINNING! WTF PEOPLE!!
Keystone80435 - April 19, 2008
I like runs
do you not?
fischisgod - April 19, 2008
yes but thats NOT the tradition.
When the Cubs lead you are supposed to yell “Let’s hold’em”. You only yell “Lets get some runs” when the Cubs are losing.
Keystone80435 - April 19, 2008
I know, I know...
pisses me off too..
Bump Bailey - April 19, 2008
Its like these people never watch Harry. There should be a few questions given to these 7th inning singers before they are allowed to sing.
Keystone80435 - April 19, 2008
Becausethats what Harry would say.
But only when the Cubs were tied or losing. When they were winning, he would Lets go Cubs. But most or all of the singers dont know that or arent told.
Zy Toro Young - April 19, 2008
I guess it doesnt even matter
Dont know why I’m even mad. I guess I would take singing as a major honor and do it out of respect for Harry. But I guess people can say whatever they want. I dont think half these people even know the history of it or know what its all about.
Keystone80435 - April 19, 2008

how big of a dork is Robbie Gould? He reminds me of the squeaky-voiced teen from the Simpsons.

If you return a PAT, do you get 1 pt?
northsider - April 19, 2008
No.
Can’t be returned. It’s a dead ball play, so the play is blown dead as soon as the defense takes possession.
gary varsho - April 19, 2008
That's what I thought.
Thanks gv

I'm watching on FSN Pittsburgh

Of course they do. They’re the PITTSBURGH PIRATES! I don’t care if they’re on the road! Roll out that red carpet!

fischisgod - April 19, 2008
I'm sorry guys.
But Pie is awful. Someone explain to me why he needs more at-bats on a team with such depth. Please.
Fukumania - April 19, 2008
Not sure if anyone said this yet...
...this was huge for our bullpen today. I’m sure most fo you saw how the Cubs are up there in bullpen innings pitched so this was huge.
Bricks and Ivy - April 19, 2008
agreed.....we needed a blowout. Takes the pressure off a little..
...especially with the Mets coming to town
JB 23 - April 19, 2008
good pt.
the Spankees are on on top of that list. I feel no sympathy for them. Nothing new

Holy crap.
Bildo, you gotta watch this Valencia match. Morientes just scored on an incredible rebound header.
gary varsho - April 19, 2008
Don't get telemundo...grr
Bildo1805 - April 19, 2008
Too bad.
Fun match. Just ended. Valencia takes it 3-1. Morientes stripped off his shirt and ran the length of the pitch when he scored. That type of display in the PL might earn him a couple of aching shins…
gary varsho - April 19, 2008
Let me just tell you
how horrible it is taking the letters off the back of a jersey. In 7 innings I’ve gotten 2 of 5 off. And it basically ruined the jersey. You can totally see the old stitch holes. I’ll have to duct tape JOHNSON over the mess haha

Poor Pierre?
northsider - April 19, 2008
Not even
I thought it would be a good idea to put HOBBS on a #9 Cubs pinstripe jersey…....drunk stupidity.
Keystone80435 - April 19, 2008
RE: Let me just tell you
I’ve been wondering what to do with my Prior jersey. I just don’t think I want to go through the effort of transforming into a Kevin Hart jersey. I’m also pretty sure I don’t want a Kevin Hart jersey
Jobu - April 19, 2008
Not sure there is much to do
The other problem I have is that the red and blue stiching bled into the white on the jersey. I should have just left it and taken the punishment.
Keystone80435 - April 19, 2008
I propose a screening process for anyone sitting behind home plate.
I want to watch the game, not you idiots!
northsider - April 19, 2008
no kidding...its like they screen and try to get morons back there...
JB 23 - April 19, 2008
We have the technology
to simply green-screen in a fake crowd behind the plate.
BlueSox - April 19, 2008
I agree
being an ass is one thing. Being an ass every pitch is another. OK WE SEE YOU.
Keystone80435 - April 19, 2008
put it into a bill...
I’ll sign it
chi-townbleacherbum - April 19, 2008
Lee's out with an injury?
I just got home and went to Yahoo and I saw in the box score that Ward was in for Lee and I just assumed that Lou was giving Daryle ab’s in a blowout, but then I noticed that “lee left with an undisclosed injury”???
whaha?
lemon20pie - April 19, 2008
Sanchez stepped on his foot.
Probably precautionary.
gary varsho - April 19, 2008
Whew....thanks
Visions of 2006 flashed before my eyes!
lemon20pie - April 19, 2008
Sanchez stepped on his foot rounding first base....
...I am sure it was precautionary / Cubs up 7-1 at the time….
JB 23 - April 19, 2008
I sure freaking hope so
Sigh
Fukumania - April 19, 2008
Is Pink Hat

Bump Bailey - April 19, 2008
Note.
Just two guys who keep standing up and waving. They’re wearing the kanji headbands.
northsider - April 19, 2008
Oh geez...
hope that dude with the bad sport coats that’s always on Channel 7 news doesn’t start showing up…
Bump Bailey - April 19, 2008
Note
they are waving an dbeing asses while the Cubs pitcher is on the mound.
Keystone80435 - April 19, 2008
If I was Hart
I would “accidentally” send my best fastball to strike right in front of their faces on the screen.
northsider - April 19, 2008

Keystone80435 - April 19, 2008
STL lost...3-0 to the wonderful Giants.
life is good
chi-townbleacherbum - April 19, 2008
beauftiful....time for them to come back to reality...
JB 23 - April 19, 2008
3-0???
When Lincecum’s pitching, miracles can happen.
northsider - April 19, 2008
Hendry should fire up the computer
and trade for him. Whaddya say, Cedeno, Gallagher, and Pie oughta do it right?? Trades are easy!
northsider - April 19, 2008
I support this trade
3 for 1! math is in SF’s favor!
grifdog - April 19, 2008
Phil Rogers would say so...
JB 23 - April 19, 2008
SF rates a +2!!
according to the Best System Ever.
northsider - April 19, 2008
lol
I was only kidding about 3 for 1 being in SF’s favor. I didn’t know Rogers actually believes it. Expertly played Phil.
grifdog - April 19, 2008
Great
now theres 3 of them.
Keystone80435 - April 19, 2008
make that 4 of them
Keystone80435 - April 19, 2008
bottom 9 in cincy
weeks K’s with 2 on, game tied 3-3
grifdog - April 19, 2008
Maybe Corey will hit a walk-off HR
that won’t clog any bases.
zevkalman - April 19, 2008
Lee left with an injury
GOD **
Fukumania - April 19, 2008
Marty says....
Corey patterson is 0 for 4 today. Another solid outing
chi-townbleacherbum - April 19, 2008
LOL
Solidly bad.
BlueSox - April 19, 2008
perhaps its the fault of Cubs fans?
JB 23 - April 19, 2008
Great sig
And i’m sure you’re right. We need to stop playing for him.
Fukumania - April 19, 2008
If it weren't for horrible Cubs fans and how we treated him he'd probably be hitting .555.
northsider - April 19, 2008
true dat
Keystone80435 - April 19, 2008
What is Lee's undisclosed injury????
This could really suck if it is true!!!!
razzpunk - April 19, 2008
Cottage cheese ass.

In the same category as anal fissure
Keystone80435 - April 19, 2008
Who was that?
Matzui maybe it was that had that….maybe Marty Brennaman too..
Bump Bailey - April 19, 2008
probably
both
Keystone80435 - April 19, 2008
Marty still has it
So does poor Kevin:
northsider - April 19, 2008
BWAHAHAHA
Keystone80435 - April 19, 2008
Didn't Prior
have to go on the DL for that once? ;)
Bump Bailey - April 19, 2008
No
“The Employee” went on the DL becuase of his period.
Keystone80435 - April 19, 2008
LMAO..
Classic..
Bump Bailey - April 19, 2008
We don't know.
I’m sure they will say after the game.
sue369 - April 19, 2008
very minor....sanchez stepped on his foot rounding first base.
JB 23 - April 19, 2008
Acute case of jealousy.
Dempster won the clubhouse wrestling match and thus the chance to hug Marisa.
northsider - April 19, 2008
just in case anyone is interested
But Clay Rapada former cub, has had a decent start to the year.
Glacier - April 19, 2008
cards lose
way to go giants
fischisgod - April 19, 2008
Getting your foot stepped on takes you out of a game????
I am mainly freaking because DLee is on my fantasy team…..wanted some more hits from him….better not be any more serious…..
razzpunk - April 19, 2008
Great reason
Not because it would matter to “your” team.
Fukumania - April 19, 2008
Yeah it matters to my team and my fantasy team....but I just expect the worst to happen to the Cubs
razzpunk - April 19, 2008
This is why I don't play fantasy.
northsider - April 19, 2008

I want to see a Farnsy-vs-Manny brawl.
That would be amazing.
northsider - April 19, 2008
didnt
farnsy do some boxing or beat up a telephone pole or something? I remember him doing something violent in th epast
Keystone80435 - April 19, 2008
He beat the living hell out of Paul Wilson,
maybe that’s waht your were thinking of.
gary varsho - April 19, 2008
I think is was a fan in the dugout.
The kind that pushes air, not the human kind.

Kinda
I was at a Hank Jr / Lynyrd Skynyrd concert last nigth and I’m still a little tipsy.
Keystone80435 - April 19, 2008
Freebird Freebird!!
Bump Bailey - April 19, 2008
I had free tickets. And it was actually pretty damn fun haha the crowd was hilarious
Keystone80435 - April 19, 2008
that's garbage...
back in the day, that was widely accepted and expected. It would be one thing if he hit him, but a little chin music (or back of the head music) is necessary from time to time
chi-townbleacherbum - April 19, 2008
Santo thinks so, too.
He doesn’t think you should suspend a guy if he doesn’t even hit anybody.
gary varsho - April 19, 2008
Now the losers
behind home plate are flashing gang signs
Keystone80435 - April 19, 2008
Classy.
northsider - April 19, 2008
Idiots.
gary varsho - April 19, 2008
I just showed up to mention
how Theriot is the worst hitter in Cubs history. How’s he holding up?
Reddevil - April 19, 2008
Are there no games
on Extra Innings today?
Keystone80435 - April 19, 2008
not now
games after 7 eastern will be shown though

i was freaking out that the channels werent showing up and there were like 4 games today
Keystone80435 - April 19, 2008
His organ donation card

Keystone80435 - April 19, 2008
His blood
smells of cologne
Keystone80435 - April 19, 2008
He's a lover
not a fighter. But dont tempt him, becuase he’s also a fighter.
Keystone80435 - April 19, 2008
he is......
The Most Interesting Man In The World.
Keystone80435 - April 19, 2008
If Cedeno continues to hit...is he good for trade bait...
or do y’all think he should replace a regular (Theriot?)
zevkalman - April 19, 2008
Both
might be possibilities
Keystone80435 - April 19, 2008
Yes.
Should’ve replaced Theriot long ago.
gary varsho - April 19, 2008
disagree
Reddevil - April 19, 2008
Be glad we're not stuck with that other team of baseball broadcasters in town.

That guy.
I swear he goes looking for the cameras after the game.
gary varsho - April 19, 2008
Maybe Kerry
had her choice of who to interview and she has a crush on TheRiot.

She had a supa fly
argile shirt on today

FALSE.

Keystone80435 - April 19, 2008
she had it on

DenverCub - April 19, 2008
Chevy player of the game...
Marquis..
Bump Bailey - April 19, 2008
false.
Obviously it’s Theriot. Every time he DOESN’T go 0-for-4 with 2 scrappy K’s, he gets the POTG and interviewed.
northsider - April 19, 2008
So true...
his act is starting to get old very very fast….
Bump Bailey - April 19, 2008
These am/pm commercials.
Does anyone else think they ripped off The Offspring’s “Hit That” for the song?

Lou's press conferences are funny....
he seems lost for words most time….lots of long drawn out breaths…licks the inside of his mouth….deep exhalations…...words drip out…...
razzpunk - April 19, 2008
haha, agree
He always seems drunk and disoriented. But last year when they clinched and they interviewed him in the clubhouse, buzzed, he was actually more coherent!
northsider - April 19, 2008
still smoking?
n/t
Bump Bailey - April 19, 2008
Marquis....Hill......maybe coming around now....
feeling good about the Cubs…..now if Lilly can just bulldog up we will be ready to roll….Ronnie Woo Woo almost drowned out Lou in the presser….

I heard that.
How does he even get inside?

Craig Monroe vs. Jake Westbrook
Three breaking balls, three whiffs.
Some things never change.
gary varsho - April 19, 2008
Can't believe
Monroe is playing every day…
Bump Bailey - April 19, 2008
No kidding.
Especially with him hitting a robust .189
gary varsho - April 19, 2008
Monroe for us last year...
.204 .291 .347
Bump Bailey - April 19, 2008
Yuck.
gary varsho - April 19, 2008
A waste of space for us..
last year….wasn’t he brought in to kill left handed pitching? haha..
Bump Bailey - April 19, 2008
He does hit LHP well,
hitting them at a .270/.317/.488/.805 clip for his career, but he was awful for the Cubs.
gary varsho - April 19, 2008
Did someone say they hope Dempster can keep it up tomorrow?
After that ceremonial first pitch yesterday…. 3 million guys in cub nation as well as Dempster will have no prob keeping it up. Sorry, had to say it.
chi-townbleacherbum - April 19, 2008
Some atrocious OF defense
on both sides in the Twins-Indians matchup on FOX…

Happy Passover Jason
He can now go have a nice Seder dinner. Seriously as far as I can tell
he is the only one of the dozen or so Jewish players who is at least
moderately observant.
Al ( and Howard as you are lurking somewhere) have a nice Seder too.
Being a very bad Jew I will probably be going out for Indian food tonight.
