I cant remember the name but one of the ESPN annalysts suggested if Soriano is put in the leadoff spot, stick Reed Johnson 9th and pitcher 8th…. That could possibly work
P – Juan Pierre C – Terry Mulholland, Jose Macias 1b – Gody Gerut 2b – Henry Rodriguez ss – Jeromy Burnitz 3b – Bobby Hill LF – Darin Erstad CF – Neifi Perez RF – Kevin Orie
He always plays the game that way, he didn’t do anything extraordinary. His regular style of play extended the inning. Just Dome being Dome. (Manny Ramirez, eat your heart out. You heard it here first!)
first of all, don’t ruin my elation with logic… :P and second… I think a lot of people thought that Demp was really reaching to be a SP, and was going to get SHELLED in every start. He’s pitched very well. Better than Lilly or Hill, that’s for sure, and certainly better than Marquis.
You guys do nothing but jump on any statement that really didnt mean anything?
So because I choose not to accept a backround that is full of all the colors of the rainbow you guys feel the need to teach me the lessons of life. Gimme a break im not asking anyone to think like me and i can be as non-”flmaboyant” as i want, never said it was wrong or you couldnt like that stuff.
Find a new person to get mad at, it seems to be your goal every night.
I know you know what i meant. I can mean whatever i want….
If im being disrespectful or mean to anyone or calling anyone a name let me know.
But calling a picture what it is not a crime, I know your meaning in life is to attack me and argue with someone once a night.
Imma watch the game and talk about that, seeing as you would rather try to be politically correct when your wasting your breath ill let you respond to yourself up here.
Do you have any larger versions of these photos, or are these the biggest sizes you have? Because if you have full-size images, you would be my desktop wallpaper superstar.
and him going to the bullpen… What….did the SF mgmt just brainfart on the possible difficulties an AL pitcher might have when he has to pitch AND bat now?
I like Uecker, and he seems to be good-spirited about the rivalry – unlike the Marty Brennaman sort. There are literally millions of people who are much less palatable to hear during a ballgame than Uecker.
to a Brewers game on XM is that when the other team does something good, you hear dead space for 5 seconds or so because Uecker can’t stand to say what it is. the guy is funny. I think he forgets he is doing radio. It makes me laugh. Its like he is trying to make the fans have a few seconds of denial before he tells them the bad news.
and I’ve gotta get the rest of the fishing gear packed…you guys take care…and let’s make this the first game of the next multi-game winning streak! L-8-ter my nizzles!
Looked kind of lost in ST, started slow, so-so command, heater off by several MPH, no putaway capability. Then mid-May came. By June he was baaaaaaack.
I’m confident he’ll bounce back. I don’t forsee any injury-related issues here.
Anyone else on Howry? He’s not fighting through an injury, is he?
who would try to drive the ball to right field with two strikes? the guy is just trying to pull everything to left. I really feel bad for the guy. He just looks awful.
I am once again reminded of how kinda creepy that camera is. The game I went to against the Mets, a guy sat in front of me with a #22 jersey with “HART” taped over Prior’s name.
that’s why I’ve always been afraid to buy a jersey with a current player on it. You never know what will happen. I have a Santo, a Banks, and a Sandberg.
I grew up on Harry and the Cubs and I get mad when people dont add the right line at the end of the singing…then I realize I’m 30 and the kids singing probably dont even remember Harry.
I’d say “let’s get some runs” no matter the score, just because that’s the way I remember Harry finishing it. Then again, most Cub games during the Harry years needed a plea for more runs.
I’m blessed with listening to White Bread and Billy Show (Brian Anderson and Bill Schoreder). I might be one of the few that have liked the Brewers TV guys in the past (yes I liked Daron Sutton, especially when he started the Sausage Race 5K). However, they are just making some stupid comments tonight. I’m not saying they aren’t plausible because they are, but still. It’s baseball. Things even out. Take a gander:
-Conspiracy theory because the Cubs don’t have to play the Red Sox and the Yankees. -Cubs are greedy because they want more night games -No three city road trips for the Cubs
Like I said, plausible, but still excuses. It’s baseball. Things work out.
Lou complains about how his middle relief isn't...
...getting the job done, and then he burns Marmol in the late innings of a blowout and refuses to use him when the team is in tight jams.
What I wouldn’t give to spend half an hour going over a leverage chart with Lou sometime. He’d probably just punch me in the face a few times for my troubles, but whatever.
now suspending managers for multiple games…Lou cant be Lou. I dont like it one bit. I dont think we’ll ever see dirt kicked , hats kicked and bases thrown like we used to. Those days are over.
I actually like Turnbow cept the fact he’s a Brewer. If he played on any other team I’d pull for him. Big guy, power arm, pretty much a slob. What happened to him? I thought he was supposed to be a badass.
“That was one of the uglier pitching performances I’ve seen in a long time. He was either missing the plate by a mile or throwing it right down the middle. No in-between.” – Bob Brenly
It's amazing how much blowouts calm me.

Why is Suppan still in the game? He can`t get Theriot out. Gotta fell good padding your average against this guy.

Well if #21 had that same AB

Chanman25 - April 30, 2008
Jason Marquis?
HectorVillanueva - April 30, 2008

but I know without a doubt Jeromy Burnitz would have easily gotten that!

Fukudome is our version of Charley Hustle, and that kind of hustle motivates the other players to follow his lead.

he's not.... :-)
Bluelou - April 30, 2008
He’s gone now

Save the bullpen apparently. Like when Maddux got shelled and stayed in for like 7 IP anyway earlier this season.

Too late for the pitching change
dragonsfanatic - April 30, 2008
Did anyone hear....
I cant remember the name but one of the ESPN annalysts suggested if Soriano is put in the leadoff spot, stick Reed Johnson 9th and pitcher 8th…. That could possibly work
fuku-domenation - April 30, 2008
Steve Phillips said that.
DeRoMyHero - April 30, 2008
I fail to see what else you do with a guy...
...that’s got a .039 isolated slugging percentage. Johnson has been absolutely punchless so far this season.
cwyers - April 30, 2008
I heard that Lou said he'd never hit the pitcher 8th
bluekoolaide - April 30, 2008
So is Suppan's life a living hell right now?
bluekoolaide - April 30, 2008
His defense hasn't exactly helped him.
DeRoMyHero - April 30, 2008
DeRo has been red-hot all season at Wrigley.
Now, he just needs to pack his good bats for the road trip.
DeRoMyHero - April 30, 2008

I'm lost without Gameday
How many of those runs are earned for Suppan?
DeRoMyHero - April 30, 2008
wow 11 runs for Suppan tonight
that would suck for his fantasy owners
Chanman25 - April 30, 2008
Soto
Whoever talked about trading Soto should be shot!!! (just joking ;)
This guy is the best young catcher in baseball.
Mr W - April 30, 2008
i dunno
2 for 3 doesn’t cut it for me.
Chanman25 - April 30, 2008
Yeah, he's terrible.
Trade him.
northsider - April 30, 2008
yeah...bring back Kendall
(I am of course, joking!) :-)
Bluelou - April 30, 2008
I honestly think Koyie Hill would be better
Chanman25 - April 30, 2008
Suit up Marmol.
northsider - April 30, 2008
you know
Jose Macias was the emergency catcher. I mean, he would be a better option..
Chanman25 - April 30, 2008
We totally need to reacquire Macias.
And Manny Alexander too. That man played HARD, darn it.
northsider - April 30, 2008
did I forget about Morandini?
He would work..
Chanman25 - April 30, 2008
And Terry Mulholland, I don't care how old he is.
To play catcher I mean. He’s a GAMER.
Then once we get him, let’s trade Lee and Ramirez for Darin Erstad.
northsider - April 30, 2008
I think they should convince Jeromy Burnitz to come out of retirement
and play SS
Chanman25 - April 30, 2008
We'd have a sweet double play combo
with Burnitz at SS and Henry Rodriguez at 2B. O HENRY INDEED!
northsider - April 30, 2008
and all we need to do is resign Bobby Hill for 3b and Jody Gerut for 1st
and damn that would be a great infield
Chanman25 - April 30, 2008
With backup Kevin Orie waiting in the wings
and Juan Pierre as our ace SP
northsider - April 30, 2008
LOL
So this is our current team
P – Juan Pierre
C – Terry Mulholland, Jose Macias
1b – Gody Gerut
2b – Henry Rodriguez
ss – Jeromy Burnitz
3b – Bobby Hill
LF – Darin Erstad
CF – Neifi Perez
RF – Kevin Orie
That’s dominating!
Chanman25 - April 30, 2008
not until you get...
Eckstein…until then…your just posing.
santoswoodenlegs - April 30, 2008
forgot
we could use him as our second pitcher
Chanman25 - April 30, 2008
Is this the current Cubs team
or the next MLB All-Century team?
NittanyCub - April 30, 2008
even better

this guy has power
Chanman25 - April 30, 2008
It's almost night and day when the Cubs are winning on the blog
If the Cubs lose tomorrow, I’m pretty sure some will take it as one of the signs of the Apocalypse.
NittanyCub - April 30, 2008
I agree
It is crazy how blown out of proportion each game gets
pjs83 - April 30, 2008
I know
people are now saying “ROY” for Soto, where yesterday they were saying that the Cubs should trade him, or bench him.
WTF?
NittanyCub - April 30, 2008
People = one idiot
santoswoodenlegs - April 30, 2008
yep
sue369 - April 30, 2008
Yeah well the thing is that when the Cubs win it makes us happy
I don’t enjoy watching them lose
bluekoolaide - April 30, 2008
Yea, but it seems like we as Cub fans make every game bigger than it needs to be
I enjoy a win as much as the next fan, but we could lose 10-13 games a month and end up winning 90+ games
pjs83 - April 30, 2008
Keep in mind that that whole inning was because Dome hustled
HectorVillanueva - April 30, 2008
Very true
Good point!!
Rudey - April 30, 2008
More like because Dome is Dome.
He always plays the game that way, he didn’t do anything extraordinary. His regular style of play extended the inning. Just Dome being Dome. (Manny Ramirez, eat your heart out. You heard it here first!)
northsider - April 30, 2008
I like that
Dome is Dome. Should definitely be a post title. Or a slogan for a Nike commercial. I think from now anything good is going to be Dome.
“Those new shoes?”
“Yeah, just got them yesterday.”
“Man those are so Dome!”
Villeslgr - April 30, 2008
they've ALL been hustling
really. They’re patient at the plate, they’re running out of the box… I REALLY like what this team is doing philosophically.
drewishdrewid - April 30, 2008
Soto!
He’s baaaaack!
drewishdrewid - April 30, 2008
if Ryan stays in...
he’s 4-0 for the year.
Who the hell thought Ryan Dempster ever had a chance of being a 4-0 starting pitcher???
drewishdrewid - April 30, 2008
Someone with an understanding of sample size...
....and an appreciation for the fact that pitcher wins are as much a function of team offense as anything else?
cwyers - April 30, 2008
oh, come on...
first of all, don’t ruin my elation with logic… :P and second… I think a lot of people thought that Demp was really reaching to be a SP, and was going to get SHELLED in every start. He’s pitched very well. Better than Lilly or Hill, that’s for sure, and certainly better than Marquis.
drewishdrewid - April 30, 2008
I have no problem admiting, not me.
...a nice surprise and considering how BAD Lilly and Marquis have been, absolutly neccesary.

Suggesting Kendall is capable of the 12-run homer?

I believe he hit one back in 06 with the A’s

Right, like we don't know what someone means when he calls something "semi ____" and "flamboyant"
Nice try on the innocence card, but I’m not buying it.
northsider - April 30, 2008
Not trying to be innocent?
I know you know what i meant. I can mean whatever i want….
If im being disrespectful or mean to anyone or calling anyone a name let me know.
But calling a picture what it is not a crime, I know your meaning in life is to attack me and argue with someone once a night.
Imma watch the game and talk about that, seeing as you would rather try to be politically correct when your wasting your breath ill let you respond to yourself up here.

sue369 - April 30, 2008
why does ESPN do crap like that?
are they trying to jinx Dempster?
LAcarl519 - April 30, 2008
What did they do?
bluekoolaide - April 30, 2008
ESPN said
that no Cub pitcher has EVER won four home games in April. (Dempster is 3-0 at home this month before tonight)
LAcarl519 - April 30, 2008
Leave it to ESPN
bluekoolaide - April 30, 2008
Cracks me up these guys talking about Zito
and him going to the bullpen…
What….did the SF mgmt just brainfart on the possible difficulties an AL pitcher might have when he has to pitch AND bat now?
Bluelou - April 30, 2008
I'm so baffled by your line of thinking...
....that I have no response to that.
cwyers - April 30, 2008
this is sarcasm, correct?
JB 23 - April 30, 2008
of course....
it sucks sometimes that mere words on a screen lose their punch.
You’re supposed to laugh! :-)
Bluelou - April 30, 2008
well I hope Demp is just out there relaxing
Chanman25 - April 30, 2008
I truly wish once Suppan left the game...
they would have played “Had a Bad Day” on the sound system
fuku-domenation - April 30, 2008
SUBSTITUTION
Green Bay Packers
IN: LT 73 Seth McClung
Oh, he’s not a football player wearing #73? Got it.
northsider - April 30, 2008
They need a touchdown and a field goal at this point.
cwyers - April 30, 2008
Dempster looks like Henry Rowengardner batting up there
fuku-domenation - April 30, 2008
pitcher pitcher pitcher!
Chanman25 - April 30, 2008
Chanman25 - April 30, 2008
I can't believe I actually got that reference
bluekoolaide - April 30, 2008
Pitcher's got a big butt!!! Pitcher's got a big butt!!!
santoswoodenlegs - April 30, 2008
hahah i was just about to take that poster and put sotos face in there.
my photoshop wont cooperate..santos ..will you>?
xene - April 30, 2008
done.
santoswoodenlegs - April 30, 2008
Erin Andrews time!
Chanman25 - April 30, 2008
she definitely deserves an exclamation point!!!!!
DC Cubbie - April 30, 2008
Saw her in the bleachers at a game last year
Think it was Glavin’s 300th. “If she were a president, she would be babe-ra-han Lincoln”.
blackhawk24 - April 30, 2008
So are we still winning?
santoswoodenlegs - April 30, 2008
Nope....
Sotos chocked bad tonight, its costing us the game
fuku-domenation - April 30, 2008
Choked*
fuku-domenation - April 30, 2008
12-3 top of the 6th...
MinnesotaFan - April 30, 2008
any bets on whether
the singer of “Take me out ot the Ballgame” says “Let’s get more runs!” at the end?
LAcarl519 - April 30, 2008
I think Uecker is singing tonight, isn't he?
cwyers - April 30, 2008
no, that's tomorrow
and I gotta tell you, I don’t understand why they keep letting him do that.
drewishdrewid - April 30, 2008
Personally I think it's kinda fun.
I like Uecker, and he seems to be good-spirited about the rivalry – unlike the Marty Brennaman sort. There are literally millions of people who are much less palatable to hear during a ballgame than Uecker.
cwyers - April 30, 2008
I love seeing Uecker in there. He gets the fun side of a rivalry
HectorVillanueva - April 30, 2008
Plus the Euck gets to sit
down in the frunt rooooow….
Bluelou - April 30, 2008
Yup, for every prick like Marty
there’s a good guy like Ueck…
blackhawk24 - April 30, 2008
the best thing about listening
to a Brewers game on XM is that when the other team does something good, you hear dead space for 5 seconds or so because Uecker can’t stand to say what it is. the guy is funny. I think he forgets he is doing radio. It makes me laugh. Its like he is trying to make the fans have a few seconds of denial before he tells them the bad news.
It must be a trailerpark way of communicating…
LAcarl519 - April 30, 2008
I have to say I've really like Uecker...
...ever since I saw Major League. Call me crass if you like, but that was sheer comedy gold.
cwyers - April 30, 2008
Agreed.
He completely stole the show.
northsider - April 30, 2008
Maybe for the brewers
Out of pity
fuku-domenation - April 30, 2008
that sucks
with his Brewers reference.
LAcarl519 - April 30, 2008
Dempster losing a little heater
down to 90 MPH, from 93
NittanyCub - April 30, 2008
enough of this 1908 stuff..... enough already..... STOP
MinnesotaFan - April 30, 2008
Factually wrong too - last WS was '45
JFCubFan - April 30, 2008
Something about a 100 years...I could really follow what they're talking about.
santoswoodenlegs - April 30, 2008
yeah wasn't there a war or something?
eswan9 - April 30, 2008
All of us local kiddos
arent hearing the ESPN feed, is it bad?
Rudey - April 30, 2008
It's just the same old same old...
1908…goat…bartman…Wrigley is nice…100 years…blah blah blah.
santoswoodenlegs - April 30, 2008
Be prepared to listen to that crap all summer
JFCubFan - April 30, 2008
i’m not even local and i’ve got len & bob! mlb.tv is a life saver. – when it’s not being a pain in the ass!
anormal - April 30, 2008
nice double play...
MinnesotaFan - April 30, 2008
indeed.
Brian who?
drewishdrewid - April 30, 2008
Bixler
DeRoMyHero - April 30, 2008
On this date...
...in 1970 Billy Williams became the 1st NL player with 1,000 consecutive games played, this according to BB.
DP perfectly executed just now, just like the Mets game last Monday night!
blackhawk24 - April 30, 2008
zambrano shaved his head?
MinnesotaFan - April 30, 2008
It's the Reed Johnson look.
It would be cool to see a lot of Cubs grow some billy-goat chins to drive off the curse this year…
mistersite - April 30, 2008
Think Demps done?
fuku-domenation - April 30, 2008
he's up over 105 pitches
but he’s also got breathing room score-wise. I think Lou doesn’t trust the bullpen right now, and he’s justified…
drewishdrewid - April 30, 2008
Seems to be losing his edge
JFCubFan - April 30, 2008
Well...this game seems to be well in hand...
and I’ve gotta get the rest of the fishing gear packed…you guys take care…and let’s make this the first game of the next multi-game winning streak! L-8-ter my nizzles!
santoswoodenlegs - April 30, 2008
Have a nice trip.
sue369 - April 30, 2008
Enjoy!
Have fun, we’ll see you back … Tuesday …. or thereabouts.
northsider - April 30, 2008
what the hell is this board
gonna do without your pics?
Chanman25 - April 30, 2008
Load a lot faster?
Kidding, I couldn’t resist. It’s fast on my computer and I LOVE the pics.
northsider - April 30, 2008
Meditate on...
this until I get back. I’m sure someone else can post dumb pictures in my absence…right daver?
santoswoodenlegs - April 30, 2008
slay them fish dude!
Bluelou - April 30, 2008
Yep.
He’s earned it.
pfd89 - April 30, 2008
Demp is out
because Ronny Cedeno is hitting.
drewishdrewid - April 30, 2008
Is that some kind of Clark Kent/Superman thing?
mistersite - April 30, 2008
OH NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
Howry warming up
pfd89 - April 30, 2008
HOWRY COW!
northsider - April 30, 2008
OMG THAT'S INAPPROPRIATE!
GOSH!
NittanyCub - April 30, 2008
no it's not.
santoswoodenlegs - April 30, 2008
*uncontrollable laughter*
northsider - April 30, 2008
god I love that
Chanman25 - April 30, 2008
me too
oh man I can’t stop laughing at this. hehehe
northsider - April 30, 2008
Okay, seriously, I want this on a shirt.
Get a high-quality version of this and print them up, I will buy several.
northsider - April 30, 2008
Patience...
if your patience…you’ll get the chance.
santoswoodenlegs - April 30, 2008
Looking forward to it.
Hopefully in time for me to wear it to games before I graduate and leave Chicago in June…............
northsider - April 30, 2008
Oh...it won't be that long.
santoswoodenlegs - April 30, 2008
YESSSSS.
Cool shirt. drools
northsider - April 30, 2008
YOU ARE SO INCONSIDERATE!
THINK ABOUT ALL THE HOWRY’ANS!
NittanyCub - April 30, 2008
agreed
they are all offended (??? who the hell are they?)
Chanman25 - April 30, 2008
I hate those a**hole Howry'ans anyway...
my family were indentured servants under the Howry’ans in the middle ages.
santoswoodenlegs - April 30, 2008
apprently they also
started the Crusades and intentially shipped the AIDS virus to Africa
Chanman25 - April 30, 2008
Howry'ans are the reason
for Black Tuesday, and any bad feeling you have, ever.
NittanyCub - April 30, 2008
That's just not right :)
pfd89 - April 30, 2008
beverage thru the nose
on that one!
LAcarl519 - April 30, 2008
ROFLMAO!
blackhawk24 - April 30, 2008
9's probably enough
for bob
dr stabbingworth - April 30, 2008
howry looks like clark kent
MinnesotaFan - April 30, 2008
HOWRY CRAP!!!!
pfd89 - April 30, 2008
Not Howry!!!!!!!!
The only place I want to see Howry is on the DFA list.
Mr W - April 30, 2008
Agreed.
I have a friend who is a Sox fan who still giggles when I mention Howry.
pfd89 - April 30, 2008
You won't be saying this in June
He will bounce back…..
blackhawk24 - April 30, 2008
Give Howry a break
He started this way last year and by mid-May was turning it around and by Memorial Day was all the way back.
The team is deeper now. Think they have him covered.
blackhawk24 - April 30, 2008
I hope you're right.
pfd89 - April 30, 2008
Same issues as last season
Looked kind of lost in ST, started slow, so-so command, heater off by several MPH, no putaway capability. Then mid-May came. By June he was baaaaaaack.
I’m confident he’ll bounce back. I don’t forsee any injury-related issues here.
Anyone else on Howry? He’s not fighting through an injury, is he?
blackhawk24 - April 30, 2008
what is this ump's problem?
he seems to have a severe case of tourette syndrome whenever a batter strikes out
Chanman25 - April 30, 2008
Uhhh...
Do we need to move on now with the Ward experiment? He can’t even hit .100!!!!
Mr W - April 30, 2008
Everybody say it with me now!
S-A-M-P-L-E ... S-I-Z-E!!
northsider - April 30, 2008
Prince Fielder
has no idea what you are talking about…
Chanman25 - April 30, 2008
Prince Fielder understands
S-U-P-E-R …. S-I-Z-E
zevkalman - April 30, 2008
Well let's spell something Fielder does understand.
B-O-C-A B-U-R-G-E-R.
cwyers - April 30, 2008
Prince Fielder
Who’s Prince Fielder????
Mr W - April 30, 2008
You can't see it on t.v.
but as a reason to score, Ned Yost puts a dish full of food behind home plate for Fielder.
How do you think he got 50 home runs last season? Yost is a smart man
NittanyCub - April 30, 2008
BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Keystone80435 - April 30, 2008
He has more walks than Reed Johnson.
cwyers - April 30, 2008
But, I want to see what happens when Daryle dives into a wall.
HectorVillanueva - April 30, 2008
The wall moves.
cwyers - April 30, 2008
Rodney McRay style?
HectorVillanueva - April 30, 2008
football score
13-3 Fukudome single to right, Cedeno scores.
blackhawk24 - April 30, 2008
Cedeno showing off his wheels?
cwyers - April 30, 2008
Not really...
The ball wasn’t that hard hit, though it didn’t clear the 2B’mans glove by more than a few feet.
blackhawk24 - April 30, 2008
He also has
more arse
pfd89 - April 30, 2008
This game is
taking forever. I’m off to bed. Keep cheering for them. Dome just brought Onedec in. 13-3
sue369 - April 30, 2008
Gnite!
pfd89 - April 30, 2008
Good
working on count as always
reaching on base as always
Batted in some runs as always
dragonsfanatic - April 30, 2008
Ronny
The best shortstop we have!!
muffman - April 30, 2008

was the Official Burger of the Chicago Cubs.
JFCubFan - April 30, 2008
And you call yourself a Cubs fan!
cwyers - April 30, 2008
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Soto with two men up, deja vu?
Chanman25 - April 30, 2008
they better not plunk Soto
LAcarl519 - April 30, 2008
SHHH!
Don’t give ‘em ideas!
Bluelou - April 30, 2008
Soto AB with 2 on
...again!
blackhawk24 - April 30, 2008
Found Dragons fans in Wrigley bleacher!
Wearing Doala Ear and Kosuke signboard in Kanji…
on FSN WISCONSIN
dragonsfanatic - April 30, 2008
Are these game threads
always so anemic? What’s with that new comment black box that keeps popping up?
blackhawk24 - April 30, 2008
Soto struck out?
SEND HIM TO DAYTONA
northsider - April 30, 2008
He's a horrible player
Those home runs were flukes. He’s the next Chuck Knoblauch, without the Knob.
NittanyCub - April 30, 2008
BOO!!
Soto strikes out!! He is in a slump!!! RELEASE THAT SACK!
Chanman25 - April 30, 2008
hey can we take some of these extra runs and keep them for a another day........
MinnesotaFan - April 30, 2008
Soto - Strike 3333333
That’s it, I want him traded now;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
Where is Dick Bertel when you need him?
Mr W - April 30, 2008
well I'm out
have fun!
Chanman25 - April 30, 2008
you too!
go Cubs!
northsider - April 30, 2008
Pie walks!
Holy cow!
northsider - April 30, 2008
attaboy
northsider - April 30, 2008
Always key
when you have a touchdown and a field goal lead. OK, I’ll still take it.
blackhawk24 - April 30, 2008
Murton gets one last shot in the bigs.
HectorVillanueva - April 30, 2008
Oh, I must have missed the press conference when they fired Hendry and hired you.
Congratulations!
northsider - April 30, 2008
It was easy to miss...
my press conference was blacked out in most cities that have Cubs fans
HectorVillanueva - April 30, 2008
hahaha
well played!
northsider - April 30, 2008
You have to figure he'll be in the majors again at some point.
I love our organization!
cwyers - April 30, 2008
I'm sure he will. I just meant for this stint.
HectorVillanueva - April 30, 2008
Pie went for the walk instead a hit
JFCubFan - April 30, 2008
santoswoodenlegs - April 30, 2008
YES
Shirtworthy?
northsider - April 30, 2008
make it a good AB, Matt
LAcarl519 - April 30, 2008
Come on Murton
Crush one just to piss off the Brewskis
Bluelou - April 30, 2008
Like they're not perturbed already....
northsider - April 30, 2008
exactly. :-)
Bluelou - April 30, 2008
If Murton gets a grand slam
I’m going to faint
NittanyCub - April 30, 2008
as will all his fans in Iowa
JFCubFan - April 30, 2008
Yahoo.
Soriano batting leadoff tomorrow according to Pat and Ron
pfd89 - April 30, 2008
Nothing to see here, move along folks.
That’s what Lou’s been saying.
northsider - April 30, 2008
these aren't the droids we're looking for....
move along….move along…
Bluelou - April 30, 2008
Yawn.
We knew that already.
cwyers - April 30, 2008
Whatever.
Sorry, I came in late.
pfd89 - April 30, 2008
Soriano batting lead off tomorrow according to my picture in the first game thread.
santoswoodenlegs - April 30, 2008
Which you can see here.
Linky.
northsider - April 30, 2008
Thanks!
pfd89 - April 30, 2008
Excellent as usual.
pfd89 - April 30, 2008
Check it out
Zambrano is showing Soto how to hit….listen to the man Geovanny, he can tell you how it’s done.
Mr W - April 30, 2008
Murton K's.
D’oh!
northsider - April 30, 2008
sorry, sue. but he struck out dreamily.
drewishdrewid - April 30, 2008
Opie strikes out....
MinnesotaFan - April 30, 2008
just in time too to catch that Greyhound back to Des Moines
JFCubFan - April 30, 2008
what happened to the Murton
who would try to drive the ball to right field with two strikes? the guy is just trying to pull everything to left. I really feel bad for the guy. He just looks awful.
LAcarl519 - April 30, 2008
I remember a whole slew of "Murton for certain" calls from Len.
Where did that hitter go?
HectorVillanueva - April 30, 2008
Um, a major league ballclub did everything possible to undermine his confidence...
...and drive his trade value into the ground, dooming him to rot at AAA for the rest of time.
cwyers - April 30, 2008
Dome fans from Japan in Wrigley bleacher
Yes, this week is holiday streak in Japan… looks like winter outfit….
dragonsfanatic - April 30, 2008
So when are you making the trip?
HectorVillanueva - April 30, 2008
well, no plans yet....
dragonsfanatic - April 30, 2008
If you do, I hope it's before I leave Chicago in June.
It’d be cool to welcome you to Wrigley and offer my thanks for your insightful dispatches from Japan.
northsider - April 30, 2008
Thanks
but it’s not likely to happen, unfortunately…
dragonsfanatic - April 30, 2008
If Dome and the Cubs make the postseason, would you try to watch in person?
northsider - April 30, 2008
If world series....
but those playoff tickets at Wrigley homestand should be really hard to get, right?
dragonsfanatic - April 30, 2008
Yes, but...
I may be wrong, but I’m thinking there would probably be people around here who could help you out a little.
northsider - April 30, 2008
Hope it's gonna be happening
dragonsfanatic - April 30, 2008
DeRosa's nappping on third?
MinnesotaFan - April 30, 2008
you're kidding, right?
that ball was so scalded, it was boiling.
drewishdrewid - April 30, 2008
Howry doing what he does best...
Giving up doubles, triples, singles, and, oh yeah, lots and lots of home runs.
Mr W - April 30, 2008
He's given up one double.
Dempster gave one up too. Does that mean he sucks?
mistersite - April 30, 2008
I heard Cy Young gave up a few doubles, but, then again, he blew big time.
HectorVillanueva - April 30, 2008
Cy Young? If they had a farm system back then...
...he’d have had a permanent spot in AAA. He blew.
mistersite - April 30, 2008
Cy Young?????
Yeah, sure, Bob Howry is the equivalent of Cy Young…HA HA HA..oh, and by the way, how do ya like that home run he just now gave up.
yUP..Bob Howry is the next Cy Young!!!!!!!
Mr W - April 30, 2008
Unnecessary.
They are Cubs pitchers who aren’t perfect. By definition they suck.
northsider - April 30, 2008
WICKED STRIKEOUT!
Howry is NOT messing around!!!
northsider - April 30, 2008
Neither is the umpire.
HectorVillanueva - April 30, 2008
There's a dude in a Prior jersey in center field bleachers
http://cubs.truelook.com/face/newface.jsp?zoom=1.0&name=%2Fchicagocubs%2Fwrigleyfield%2Fcamera1&skin=default&pan=38.542152&panfov=41.5&tiltfov=31.125&tilt=-46.035347&oldimage=1208457497640745&width=640&height=480&oldscale=0.75&useapplet=false&vfadjust=0.44444445&imagemap.x=58&imagemap.y=307
I’d be embarrased.
pfd89 - April 30, 2008
That link is a beast.
northsider - April 30, 2008
I see him.
I am once again reminded of how kinda creepy that camera is. The game I went to against the Mets, a guy sat in front of me with a #22 jersey with “HART” taped over Prior’s name.
northsider - April 30, 2008
What do you do, throw away a $100 jersey?
HectorVillanueva - April 30, 2008
I've got a Prior jersey...
...and I’m probably going to wear it when I go to see the Cubs. Can’t change the past, can I?
cwyers - April 30, 2008
It's the only jersey my wife has. She only wears it four times a year, so I'm not buying her a new one.
HectorVillanueva - April 30, 2008
Understood.
pfd89 - April 30, 2008
Then again...
that’s why I’ve always been afraid to buy a jersey with a current player on it. You never know what will happen. I have a Santo, a Banks, and a Sandberg.
HectorVillanueva - April 30, 2008
Pretty safe choices.
I should have bought a Cubs jersey when they didn’t have names on them. Set for life. Unless, you know, some bum happens to be assigned the number.
northsider - April 30, 2008
he looks a bit like prince fielder........
MinnesotaFan - April 30, 2008
Come on Lou....
time to out Howry to bed now…
Bluelou - April 30, 2008
you know, if Howry doesn’t get good till mid-may WHY PLAY HIM?
drewishdrewid - April 30, 2008
maybe because it was 13-3?
northsider - April 30, 2008
Because you're up 9 runs...
...and you might as well pitch him in order to save the guys who are good now in case we need them tomorrow.
mistersite - April 30, 2008
got a point.
struck the next guy out anyway, so he got out of it.
drewishdrewid - April 30, 2008
HOWRY COW!!!!
(just in case you’ve left, swl)
northsider - April 30, 2008
HAHAHA
Al has his bank robbery mask on again tonight
Keystone80435 - April 30, 2008
Another slug fest?
Don’t waste time….
dragonsfanatic - April 30, 2008
inning over finally....
MinnesotaFan - April 30, 2008
Howry gives up a safety.
At least it wasn’t a field goal.
LAcarl519 - April 30, 2008
I will repeat...
Howry doing what he does best…
Giving up doubles, triples, singles, and, oh yeah, lots and lots of home runs.
Mr W - April 30, 2008
7th inning stretch singers....
yelling “Lets get some runs” when the Cubs are way up AGAIN!.
I am now realizing most of the people singing are too young to remember seeing Harry do it.
Keystone80435 - April 30, 2008
Thanks for suddenly making me feel old!
bluekoolaide - April 30, 2008
no problem
I grew up on Harry and the Cubs and I get mad when people dont add the right line at the end of the singing…then I realize I’m 30 and the kids singing probably dont even remember Harry.
Keystone80435 - April 30, 2008
who sang tonite?
MinnesotaFan - April 30, 2008
Time to go to bed.
Gnite!
pfd89 - April 30, 2008
If I sang the stretch
I’d say “let’s get some runs” no matter the score, just because that’s the way I remember Harry finishing it. Then again, most Cub games during the Harry years needed a plea for more runs.
HectorVillanueva - April 30, 2008
No, during blowouts he'd usually say
“we’ve got enough runs-let’s hold ‘em”!
bluekoolaide - April 30, 2008
Unfortunately, I didn't witness many blowouts in my childhood.

If the Cubs were winning he always said “Let’s hold’em”. He only said “Lets get some runs” when they were behind.
And thats what you remember becuase the Cubs were usually behiund haha
Keystone80435 - April 30, 2008
Too true!
bluekoolaide - April 30, 2008
with a big lead
I would say, “that’s for you, Harry!” or “Let’s hold ‘em!” but that’s about it. You gotta be flexible.
LAcarl519 - April 30, 2008

I would yell ” Lets get some beers!”

Do you think they're saying the game's not over
on the Brewer’s fansite?

FSN Wisconsin excuses
I’m blessed with listening to White Bread and Billy Show (Brian Anderson and Bill Schoreder). I might be one of the few that have liked the Brewers TV guys in the past (yes I liked Daron Sutton, especially when he started the Sausage Race 5K). However, they are just making some stupid comments tonight. I’m not saying they aren’t plausible because they are, but still. It’s baseball. Things even out. Take a gander:
-Conspiracy theory because the Cubs don’t have to play the Red Sox and the Yankees.
-Cubs are greedy because they want more night games
-No three city road trips for the Cubs
Like I said, plausible, but still excuses. It’s baseball. Things work out.
TkGoUWGB - April 30, 2008
Tell me they're not serious about that stuff!
bluekoolaide - April 30, 2008
Sounds like they are drinkng beer in Chicago
while watching their Brewers are being hammered….

Why is Marmol in this game?
Mr W - April 30, 2008
get some work so he doesn't get rusty
northsider - April 30, 2008
Wow...i just look at the tv...
I guess Lou wants to win.
santoswoodenlegs - April 30, 2008
Some of those other managers, though, they want to lose.
Glad we don’t have one of those.
(I’m looking at you, Dusty.)
northsider - April 30, 2008
1 down for Marmol in the 8th...

drewishdrewid - April 30, 2008
Hm, this Carlos character.
He could turn out to be decent, yes?
northsider - April 30, 2008
bottom on the 8th.... let's get some runs
MinnesotaFan - April 30, 2008
We need a nickname for Carlos,
How about Carlos “The Marvelous” Marmol?
Mr W - April 30, 2008
He already has one, White Castle.
northsider - April 30, 2008
Sliders that make you crap your pants?
HectorVillanueva - April 30, 2008
Carlos?
Carlos “crap your pants” Marmol? Naw, just doesn’t quite have that ring to it. Nice try though.
Mr W - April 30, 2008
It wasn't a try.
You must be new, White Castle has come into parlance here.
northsider - April 30, 2008
haha
Keystone80435 - April 30, 2008
Ha! That's the best one I've heard in a while!
Itchy - April 30, 2008
Woodie in 9th?
eswan9 - April 30, 2008
Lou complains about how his middle relief isn't...
...getting the job done, and then he burns Marmol in the late innings of a blowout and refuses to use him when the team is in tight jams.
What I wouldn’t give to spend half an hour going over a leverage chart with Lou sometime. He’d probably just punch me in the face a few times for my troubles, but whatever.
cwyers - April 30, 2008
I think he response would be...
“Do you have a world series ring? Cause I do…I really really do.”
jds2 - April 30, 2008
Lou actually does seem somewhat open to new thinking...
...about things, as opposed to some managers. Ah well.
cwyers - April 30, 2008
I imagine it would go
something like this.
Kidding aside, Lou has mellowed. But still.
northsider - April 30, 2008
With the league
now suspending managers for multiple games…Lou cant be Lou. I dont like it one bit. I dont think we’ll ever see dirt kicked , hats kicked and bases thrown like we used to. Those days are over.

SO is Cuban still in the ballpark?
JFCubFan - April 30, 2008
14-5 Cubs
northsider - April 30, 2008
Mil is really bad defensively
jds2 - April 30, 2008
Actually
They are worse than really bad—horrid. Actually, they are worse than horrid, but I don’t have a Thesaurus handy so I can’t accurately describe it.
I wonder if their pitchers and position players are even on speaking terms.
DeRoMyHero - April 30, 2008
well their pitchers aren't all stars either
jds2 - April 30, 2008
So let's get some runs
MinnesotaFan - April 30, 2008
Hey,
Do we still have Calvin Schiraldi in the bullpen? He can pitch the 9th for us.
Mr W - April 30, 2008
if they don't finish
the game before midnight does it still count as an April win? Sheesh… :P
drewishdrewid - April 30, 2008
This game has been more than 3 hours long
NittanyCub - April 30, 2008
Well, I do like our chances of avoiding extra innings tonight.
DeRoMyHero - April 30, 2008
My kinda game
I like the loooooooong 15-9 games. F a pitchers duel.

Turnbow....wtf
I actually like Turnbow cept the fact he’s a Brewer. If he played on any other team I’d pull for him. Big guy, power arm, pretty much a slob. What happened to him? I thought he was supposed to be a badass.
Keystone80435 - April 30, 2008
Cedeno drives one to the wall
plates ‘em all. Cubs 18, Brewers 5. Holy crap.
northsider - April 30, 2008

Keystone80435 - April 30, 2008
So, if the Cubs scores runs past midnight
does it carry on to the next game?
That’s what I heard, from this one guy.

Out comes a pissed Ned Yost.
“That was one of the uglier pitching performances I’ve seen in a long time. He was either missing the plate by a mile or throwing it right down the middle. No in-between.” – Bob Brenly

Damn man
Turnbow really looks distraught. Poor dude.
NittanyCub - April 30, 2008
He may be on the other team, but I feel awful for the guy.
I really do.
northsider - April 30, 2008
I hope he gets traded so I can root for him.
Keystone80435 - April 30, 2008
Hey, Turnbow.
Good luck to you, man.

We are gonna trade for him,
Howry for Turnbow, I heard it from one of my more reliable sources.
Mr W - April 30, 2008
fine by me
Keystone80435 - April 30, 2008
this isn't a football score
it’s a sixth-grade girls BASKETBALL score!

No 20
but Cedeno’s nickname has caught on so fast, they’ve made a company in recognition of his achievements:

Tomorrow are the days when we have to play small ball to squeeze a couple runs across.

When I got home tonight I was kind of pissed I missed a six run first. Now I’m thinking it might be Dempster’s turn again.

You have to love Lou’s patience with certain guys. We know we’re going to need him before the season is over.
Now, Lou, what about Pie?

Pie played today.

I’d ask the cubs to save some runs for later, but these guys can put runs up at will when they have the discipline at the plate that they do….
19-5 over the Brewers is better than sex…

44 years of being a Cubs fan, my friend, 44 years.
Mr W - April 30, 2008
I've got you beat.
But as long as you’re a Cubs fan, I’ll grant you that opinion. I just hope you’re wrong. Let’s hope they didn’t leave it all behind tonight.
Cubfansince1957 - April 30, 2008
You know what?
I also hope I’m wrong. And I also hope all the anxiety and dread for the past 44 years will come to an end this year as well.
