Take me out to the ball game
Take me out to the crowd
Buy me some peanuts and cracker jack
I don't care if I ever get back
For it's root, root root for the CUBBIES
Even if it takes 14
For it's 1-2-3 strikes you're out
At the old ball game!
as a matter of fact, I wish I could somehow become employed by the Cubs to take up issues like this on a regular basis. It would infuriate the entire NL. That'd be the best part.
the "humping" really shouldn't be allowed by the Pirates. If the Duke speedo guy couldn't be shown on tv doing the DX "suck it," then the parrot shouldn't be allowed to do what he's doing.
There's a parrot mascot behind home plate that keeps making gestures towards our pitcher. While I don't think that's the cause, it's certainly distracting on TV. I can't speak to what caused Kevin Hart to give up the dinger, though.
at least it's only 10pm. I've been putting off studying for about 4 hours now. I've now called the bullpen and told International Tax to sit down..... doesn't look like we'll be needing that textbook right yet.

but you think firing gerald perry and/or rothschild would light a fire under this team and send a message to them that anything but winning it all is unacceptable
acts to me like the san antonio spurs. over confident and w/ the attitude that well once we need to we will win. i wanna fire lit under this teams ass. were too good too play this crappy.
Don't be like them. Don't be a Sox fan and wish for them to lose as if it is the same as a cubs win. That is why we are better than them because we don't pull sh*t like that.
Your better than that Bump Bailey.
On the game. Holy smokes that was painful. I hope Ron doesnt die in the booth.

Im In Iowa City and they just cut the Cubs game for ESPN (they play the Cubs games on their Mediacom connections channel when they play on CSN+/WCIU.
This is bullshit

Didn't ESPN make an agreement they could do highlights...
for games being played?
They showed highlights for every game but the Cubs on ESPNEWS.

OK now

Yep.

Al Yellon - April 9, 2008
And you guys thought I was crazy earlier when
he was distracting Wood.....
Keystone80435 - April 9, 2008
The Parrot should not be allowed to do that...
Starting to p*ss me off.
zevkalman - April 9, 2008
It was a little different when he was sitting in a seat
but this is a little much. And the humping motion is a bit much.
Gator Cub - April 9, 2008
Now you agree
its Bullshoes? Kill that parrot!
Keystone80435 - April 9, 2008
Wow....
...and I need to get up early...
anvilcrawler - April 9, 2008
ESPN never shows Cubs highlights....
I have watched that damn ESPNnews two times over, and seen them spend forever on Yankees and Red Sox highlights, with no mention of the Cubs.
What's the Parrot doing? I'm following the game on Yahoo's gamecast.
Cubfansince1957 - April 9, 2008

Bump Bailey - April 9, 2008
I was joking earlier
But I mean it now - a protest needs to be filed against the parrot.

Dude I was totally with you when you said that
Keystone80435 - April 9, 2008
I would love to draft that.....
as a matter of fact, I wish I could somehow become employed by the Cubs to take up issues like this on a regular basis. It would infuriate the entire NL. That'd be the best part.
USCKB - April 9, 2008
If anything
the "humping" really shouldn't be allowed by the Pirates. If the Duke speedo guy couldn't be shown on tv doing the DX "suck it," then the parrot shouldn't be allowed to do what he's doing.

"OUR PETS HEADS ARE FALLING OFF!"

I mean a chocolate one of course.

What is this parrot?

Someone!
please tell me what the hell is going on.
AC 00 00 00 - April 9, 2008
2 run homer ties it up
Bump Bailey - April 9, 2008
Well
Gave up a 2 run HR to tie the game.
There's a parrot mascot behind home plate that keeps making gestures towards our pitcher. While I don't think that's the cause, it's certainly distracting on TV. I can't speak to what caused Kevin Hart to give up the dinger, though.
USCKB - April 9, 2008
um
and also, this game is taking years off my life. It's freaking April, guys. Against the Pirates. Let's finish this.
USCKB - April 9, 2008
I doubt Hart sees that.
Probably the angle of the TV camera.
Al Yellon - April 9, 2008
but how can he not?
I mean when I played any sport the crowd wasnt visable at all in any way but that damn parrot......errrrrrrrr
Keystone80435 - April 9, 2008
I think he sees it......
but I don't think it's in his peripheral during the actual pitching.
Between pitches though, it has to have caught his eye at least once. What else in that stadium is going to draw his eye?
USCKB - April 9, 2008
Aram hit a HR at the top of the 13th
but *#@)* Laroche hit another one to tie it. 4-4 now.
cubsonWGN4ever - April 9, 2008
So far...these guys definitely DON'T have
IT.
VolPowers - April 9, 2008
Was that Marquis warming up??
cubsonWGN4ever - April 9, 2008
To those of you in the Central time zone......
at least it's only 10pm. I've been putting off studying for about 4 hours now. I've now called the bullpen and told International Tax to sit down..... doesn't look like we'll be needing that textbook right yet.
USCKB - April 9, 2008
I was going to read for Securities Regulation
but now I think it's time to forget it. Damn baseball game...
Gator Cub - April 9, 2008
Wow.....
Actually, I think this might work out well for you. Anything to get out of Securities Regs.
Then again, my roommate loves that stuff. And I'm reading international tax. To each their own I suppose.
USCKB - April 9, 2008
WTF...
so much for having one of the best bullpens!!!lol
goatstew - April 9, 2008
the hell.
FOUR HOURS?
drewishdrewid - April 9, 2008
I cant wait
til the Pirates come to Wrigley. HEADLESS PARROTS I WILL BRING!
Keystone80435 - April 9, 2008
He gave up a homer to a guy hitting .074
Arrrgghhh!!!!
Cubfansince1957 - April 9, 2008
Lured us in with his bad hitting, evil bastard.
cubbybear - April 9, 2008
Man.
Rotation/Bullpen
This keeps going, there's not much of a difference.
cubbybear - April 9, 2008
On August 6, 1989...
... the Cubs played an 18 inning game in Pittsburgh. They lost. But the next day they went into first place and stayed there for the rest of the year.
Al Yellon - April 9, 2008
How did that season turn out Al?
n/t
AC 00 00 00 - April 9, 2008
Sigh.
They lost in the NLCS. But they DID win the division.
Al Yellon - April 9, 2008
Welcome back Al
Shades of 2 days ago eh?
cubsonWGN4ever - April 9, 2008
I'm starting to think
You're regretting turning down that free beer from whoever was going to be at a LES bar...
sanantonecub - April 9, 2008
Yeah, probably so.
Too far from my hotel, though. I'm in midtown Manhattan.
Al Yellon - April 9, 2008
i ended up not going
had bike trouble on the way down from the UES so i turned back.
Mr Snrub - April 9, 2008
Hart is probably getting sent down tomorrow...
...for a live arm. Two extra inning games in a row is going to be the breaking point for this bullpen. Someone that isn't Marmol or Lieber needs to not suck.
cwyers - April 9, 2008
What live arm?
And Marmol wasn't that good today, either.
Al Yellon - April 9, 2008
It's not performance related.
Hart's not going to be available tomorrow, and he and Marmol are the only guys with options. Someone's going to have to be available to pitch, and I don't think it matters WHO, per se.
cwyers - April 9, 2008
marmol sucked today as well
nt
dr stabbingworth - April 9, 2008
What is this parrot? I'm at the library studying...
...Thanks guys.
Dan
dtpollitt - April 9, 2008
The pirates have a big neon green mascot parrot
and he was doing a fast hump every time the pitcher would send one to the plate. VERY distracting IMHO.
cubsonWGN4ever - April 9, 2008
struck him out
top of teh 15th to come.
drewishdrewid - April 9, 2008
domit k's
on to 15th
Bump Bailey - April 9, 2008
poor demp!
he must of had a high pitch count?why else take him out!!
goatstew - April 9, 2008
98 pitches
fischisgod - April 9, 2008
marmol then wood should have got it done
dr stabbingworth - April 9, 2008
Awful
I fear a long losing streak if they don't win it somehow tonight.
SecondSon - April 9, 2008
Welcome to Cubs Nation
Afflicted by memories of tragedy.
I think we will rebound if we lose. That is, after Lou has 5 days to rest his arm. It is April, after all.
cubbybear - April 9, 2008
We still have Lieber and Marshall
We could go another 12 innings
fischisgod - April 9, 2008
Hate to say it..
but with Marquis and Zambrano to pinch-hit, you're right.
Damen Jackson - April 9, 2008
I have my
comp exams for my masters next Mon, Tue & Wed. This team is gonna leave homeless, disheveled and pan handling for scraps.
Reddevil - April 9, 2008
I can't believe the Pirates screwed up that squeeze play
Oh, wait, that was Monday? I'm getting all my marathon games screwed up.
Fukudometer - April 9, 2008
No joke after this inning we completed a 3 game series...
dus22 - April 9, 2008
The pitch selection has been garbage tonight from the bully
Marmol came in grooving fastballs, and so did Woody. Any kind of actual "pitching" and we would've won this thing 2 hours ago.
VolPowers - April 9, 2008
Good grief someone wake up Marquis!
Keystone80435 - April 9, 2008
Seriously
Marshall is going to have to come in
Keystone80435 - April 9, 2008
hmmm...
a pitch count of 98 and he is sailing along and lou takes him out!moronic i say!
goatstew - April 9, 2008
I agree 100%%%
cubsonWGN4ever - April 9, 2008
Saving him for game 4?
cubbybear - April 9, 2008
brutal
dr stabbingworth - April 9, 2008
I know. I shouldn't say things like that so early in the season
cubbybear - April 9, 2008
I thought it might have been time plus it got a run in
fischisgod - April 9, 2008
It's April.....
How high do you want to run their pitch counts?
USCKB - April 9, 2008
We have Marshall and Lieber
no need for Marquis.... They only have Meek and their starters left
fischisgod - April 9, 2008
They CAN'T send Meek out there again...
...can they?
cwyers - April 9, 2008
after dumatrait, meek is all they got
philadelphiacub - April 9, 2008
Yeah, but isn't there some kind of mercy rule?
cwyers - April 9, 2008
Blame me
I jinxed it in the 7th when i remarked how fast the game was going...
Bump Bailey - April 9, 2008
now that was just cruel
I nomiate this game for the crappiest most annoying game of. The year
Chanman25 - April 9, 2008
No that was the other game
This ones been crisp and clean, just LOOOOOOONG
cubsonWGN4ever - April 9, 2008
hate to sound negative???
but you think firing gerald perry and/or rothschild would light a fire under this team and send a message to them that anything but winning it all is unacceptable
cubsluver22 - April 9, 2008
lol
I hope this is a joke post.
grifdog - April 9, 2008
and do WHAT exactly?
Why do people persist in thinking that this team doesn't TRY to win games?
drewishdrewid - April 9, 2008
can we put....
demp back in after midnight???lmao!
goatstew - April 9, 2008
Santo's going to pinch-hit
Russell's going to bring in Blass, and Lou will counter with sweet-swinging Billy Williams...

End this already.

cubslover...
i thought larry should have been gone 2 years ago!!
goatstew - April 9, 2008
Dumatrait and Meeks are
all the pirates have left in the pen
philadelphiacub - April 9, 2008
Dumatrait already pitched
cubsonWGN4ever - April 9, 2008
Dumatrait leads off the next inning...
...and there's no way they let him hit for himself.
cwyers - April 9, 2008
10 bucks says the
Pirates get that friggin parrot to pitch next

Get some lefties for the bullpen. that would have been smart to face their power lefty.

drewishdrewid - April 9, 2008
???
He's a freakin relief pitcher, what do you expect?
ams05g - April 9, 2008
My bad...
all yahoo said was that he grounded into a fielder's choice, not that he sucks at bunting
ams05g - April 9, 2008
ARGH!
Hart's bunt fails. Soto out at 2nd.
drewishdrewid - April 9, 2008
NICE!!! Soto
takes out 2nd baseman tobreak up DP
Keystone80435 - April 9, 2008
way to break up the DP soto
cubsonWGN4ever - April 9, 2008
Perhaps Micah could get to Pittsburgh in time for a
GW pinch HR...Are the I Cubs in Iowa tonight?
VolPowers - April 9, 2008
Nice slide Soto
He might get hit at some point tomorrow, but I love it.
USCKB - April 9, 2008
awful bunt!!
2 feet in front of the catcher!!
goatstew - April 9, 2008
2 feet
That's twice as far as Pie has hit a ball all day...
Fukudometer - April 9, 2008
this team
acts to me like the san antonio spurs. over confident and w/ the attitude that well once we need to we will win. i wanna fire lit under this teams ass. were too good too play this crappy.
cubsluver22 - April 9, 2008
what's crappy?
it's been home runs. you can't suggest we'd defend against that.
the LOB count is high, I'll grant.
drewishdrewid - April 9, 2008
The Spurs also have
4 championships in the past decade. They earned that attitude, and still win with it.
sanantonecub - April 9, 2008
hart's
hit was harder than Pie's haha
Keystone80435 - April 9, 2008
Theriot gets the hit
he should have gotten last time up.

USCKB - April 9, 2008

El Borto - April 9, 2008

Glacier - April 9, 2008

USCKB - April 9, 2008
JES JES JES
cubbybear - April 9, 2008

PIE haters???
bap - April 9, 2008
Here!
SpareRibMoon - April 9, 2008
haha, at least you're not hiding..
I think the kid can do it but that has no basis except for faith...
bap - April 9, 2008
seriously
when pie shortens his swing and isnt swinging at the fences he looks 1000 times better
cubsluver22 - April 9, 2008

USCKB - April 9, 2008

Keystone80435 - April 9, 2008

cubsonWGN4ever - April 9, 2008
What did Ron say???
fischisgod - April 9, 2008
ron said
big hit for soriano..lol..for real..
Bump Bailey - April 9, 2008
For the love...
of all things sacred and beautiful... Pie did it.
Reddevil - April 9, 2008
lets get 5 more
El Borto - April 9, 2008
Come on! We need insurance runs LOL!
SackMan - April 9, 2008
Now, PLEASE get three outs in the bottom of the inning!!!
WITHOUT giving up any runs!!
Al Yellon - April 9, 2008

Not bad.
Anyone got any ideas? It's not morning... even in the eastern time zone.
Yet.
Al Yellon - April 9, 2008
Wait till the games over
before you start talking about the postgame
vtcub - April 9, 2008
Let's try and tack on first...
....just to be safe.
cwyers - April 9, 2008
santo
credits soriano for pie's hit. Classic.
marooncub - April 9, 2008
Pie Fixes Everything
Diner wisdom...
berselius - April 9, 2008
keep tacking on
miamicanes - April 9, 2008
Marshall
going to get his first save?
gwood - April 9, 2008
Do we know that?
cwyers - April 9, 2008
Marshall has no career saves.
Made two relief appearances last year.
Al Yellon - April 9, 2008
I'm at work...
...and was just trying to make sure Marshall was pitching.
cwyers - April 9, 2008
If Marshall's pitching, why not pinch hit for Hart?
cubbybear - April 9, 2008
with who??
jon lieber??
bap - April 9, 2008
We have nobody on the bench to PH
SackMan - April 9, 2008
I didn't realize Z has batted
I shouldn't have so many responsibilities, I'm just a child...
cubbybear - April 9, 2008
Does hart come back in?
He did bat for himself
cubsonWGN4ever - April 9, 2008
Well....
Who was going to pinch hit for him?
lol
EJThunder - April 9, 2008
You were suggesting that Lilly or Hill pinch hit for him?
There was nobody else left to go in the game with Marquis not at the park.
cwyers - April 9, 2008
Lets get out of this game with a W
please for the love of god
fischisgod - April 9, 2008
Now can we hold this game down
miamicanes - April 9, 2008
Can we end this now??? Anyone....anyone...
razzpunk - April 9, 2008
Paging Steady Reliever
To the mound....
cubbybear - April 9, 2008
bury them....
this is nuts...
JB 23 - April 9, 2008
Marshall in
and Meeks is the only Pirate pitcher left
El Borto - April 9, 2008
The Marshall Plan
he's never had a save anywhere?? omg...
Bump Bailey - April 9, 2008
that was HUGE.....
foe felix!!maybe that will get him going??God willing!!
goatstew - April 9, 2008
Marshall
for the save
Reddevil - April 9, 2008
wel,l
he's not exactly getting them over the plate.
drewishdrewid - April 9, 2008
I'm going to get an ulcer
lance dickson - April 9, 2008
8 strikes away
Soup - April 9, 2008
6 Strikes away
Soup - April 9, 2008
Lou
If you were going to bring in Marshall anyway, why not PH Lieber? He's used to batting.
DeRoMyHero - April 9, 2008
Yall remember Todd Wellemeyers
first save against Milwaukee in extras... I believe after an extra inning HR by Corey
fischisgod - April 9, 2008
Ahhh
Wellmeyer pitches for the Cards....
TheRiot Police - April 9, 2008
who pitches tomorrow?
Z? Hill?
drewishdrewid - April 9, 2008
pretty sure
its hill
gwood - April 9, 2008
It's Hill's turn in the rotation, so I'd think so.
cwyers - April 9, 2008
hughes said marquis would be moved up so hill could face the lefties, but since marquis is sick maybe not
dr stabbingworth - April 9, 2008

Reddevil - April 9, 2008

Keystone80435 - April 9, 2008
I think it's reasonable to assume a BCB reader killed him by now
I mean, the game started like twelve hours ago.
cubbybear - April 9, 2008

Keystone80435 - April 9, 2008

drewishdrewid - April 9, 2008
the best part is it was on a single
and he had a short compact swing...wasnt going for the fences
cubsonWGN4ever - April 9, 2008
Whoo hoo!

Night, everyone. I'll post a recap in the morning.

Best one in Pitts is chicken....
dragonsfanatic - April 9, 2008
What is that!
I know Chicago food can be a heart stopper, but that looks deadly
El Borto - April 9, 2008
Hart with a win
and Marshall with a save, no one could have predicted that!
El Borto - April 9, 2008
Parrott gumbo
It's smelling funny though
Cajuncub - April 9, 2008
YES!
Parrot gumbo!
Keystone80435 - April 9, 2008
9000 people at the park
pathetic.
9 HOURS of game time over two games. Think they're on a roll, or just exhausted?
drewishdrewid - April 9, 2008
What did Ron say at the end?
fischisgod - April 9, 2008

Cubs cant play like that on the road
in a night game on the west coast... I dont want to stay up to watch the Cubs win at 1:30 on a weekday...
LPLancer23 - April 9, 2008
I hate myself for looking...
...but the Brewers got pasted by the Reds 12-4, so we're a game out of first.
cwyers - April 9, 2008
Damn Cards won
so we are 1 1/2 out of first. but that wont last.
Zy Toro Young - April 9, 2008
Dragonsfanatic, is that Parrott in that dish??
Cubfansince1957 - April 9, 2008
It's chicken steak
This is famous dish in Okinawa, especially for military folks....
dragonsfanatic - April 9, 2008
Well, it's parrot steak tonight.
It looks good, though I doubt that my diet could handle it. I'm working on losing weight.
Cubfansince1957 - April 9, 2008

Bump Bailey - April 9, 2008

Bump Bailey - April 9, 2008
White Sox, Lose Cubs Win
Don't be like them. Don't be a Sox fan and wish for them to lose as if it is the same as a cubs win. That is why we are better than them because we don't pull sh*t like that.
Your better than that Bump Bailey.
On the game. Holy smokes that was painful. I hope Ron doesnt die in the booth.
