come on Cubs!
single off Wuertz.
COME ON YOU CUBS!!!!!!
Wow. That needs a comma. Desperately.

COME ON, YOU CUBS!!!!!!!!!!

NOT THOSE CUBS!

THESE CUBS! :D

no it doesn't

Come, on you cubs.
Come on, you cubs.
Come on you, cubs.
COME ON YOU CUBS!

It's a single thought....

or clause. No comma necessary. Sorry about the nitpicking. Over-use of commas is a small pet peeve.

thats,

ok I, understand.

n,i,c,e
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

n,/,t,

COYC?

Come on youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu Cuuuuuuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhh-bbbbbbbbbbs

come, on you Cubs!
Now it sounds like a dirty Christmas carol
man

Soto hasn’t been so hot throwing runners out lately…

Not getting a good grip on the ball, according to Brenly
CRAP CRAP CRAP!!!!

RBI double. 4-3 rockies.

RBI double. Spilborghs scores. 4-3 Rox
Cedeno!!
MDBNIU!!!!!!!!!!
no need for profanity...
Sorry.
we'll let it slide once . . .

Photobucket

HILARIOUS!!!!!!!!
what's happening...

my fellow Normanite?

Recovery...

Need water and a few runs

nice DP.

finally.

Here we go. Sing it RON!

Good catch Reed!
ROOT ROOT ROOT

for the CUBBIES!

Haha..

Ron really gets into it…

LET'S GET SOME RUNS!

and now, a half inning of Pat and Ron interviewing… Ron Santo, ladies and gentlemen!

“Damn kids with their hats and their baggy pants!”

Let's get some damn runs!!!!
Don't worry, we have Ryan Theriot cleaning up next inning.
Scrappy Do Too

pinch hits.

Lightning striking twice?

Attention: The Rockies pitcher has a 3 runner going

Don’t tell anyone….

haha.

not sure it works with 3 runners, but I’ll bite.

3 runs? That’s it?

Yes but don't jinx it....
Do not want.

Seriously, what’s wrong with Cedeno pinch hitting?

he's not a lefty

I’m a lefty. Maybe I should call Lou.

Given a choice between:
  • Cedeno
  • Fontenot
  • Edmonds
  • Hoffpauir

I can live with Fontenot.

Ya know

whats great about living down Kenmore?I was paused on the DVR but the crowd enlightened me with the STRETCH because I had the windows open. I love the Cubs—-even a littller happy about being OFF tomorrow.!!!!

PH Fontenot gets a mullety strikeout.
mullety?

is that in the scrabble dictionary?

Soriano

bloop single

Ron says

he could have been on second.

Stewart dropped the ball! Soriano gets first base.
Bob says make it hurt
c'mon baby make it hurt so good!
RIOT!

nice single! Soriano to third!

NOW COMES FORTH THE MIGHTY LEE!

good...

but it should be tied

And it can be again!
yes it can

but lack of hustle really irks me.

What, you'd rather have Micah Hoffpauir...

...failing to take the extra base due to sheer lack of running ability instead?

ha...

yeah I could probably live with that easier

Okay, but why?

We win fewer games that way.

I forget its you sometimes

and humor is lost on you.

You have to realize that a lot of people say things like that...

...and they MEAN them. Hard to tell when people are kidding about it.

That's why, when I'm president

/sarc will be a national mandate.

that's not very

baywatch.

are you watching the game?
what Ron

says is gospel

yeah that lazy Fonz
Fact remains

Alfonso coulda/shoulda taken 2 bases on his bloop

maybe.

certainly, it was possible.

I just think there are better things

to be pissed about like Cotts being here

I'll give you a

hell yeah

on that one.

Scrappy base hit...
Does Fontenot have pictures of Lou?
I immediately thought of our Taft conversation earlier.

Yecchhh

ewww ewww ewww ewwww
Why does everyone hate Theriot again??
Nobody ever said he couldn't hit a single.

It’s all of the OTHER things that he has problems doing.

was it to right field?
However did you guess?
say it ain't so!
just had a feeling
Just looked at Theriot's hit location chart.

Guess how many flyouts to the left side he has. Guess.

eleventy-four!
One.

Granted, it’s only showing Wrigley Field. But… one.

He throws like a sister.
at least this ump

knows that a ball at the knees is… a ball.

Let's go Cubbies
Lee swung so hard......

The scoreboard fell over

just a deep flyball D...

I don’t ask for much

Wooooooooo....

We got a break..

holy cow!

slow grounder to third
soriano holds
pitcher chucks it at first
bounces away
soriano home
theriot to third

TIE GAME!

thanks 4 the play by play
took me a few times through thinking about it

to get it down. :D

Seconded on the PBP!

AND YAY!!!

That'll work, I guess.
I was going to guess that!!!!
AHAHHAH fuck yeah

tied ballgame

Randy Johnson 3 k's behind Clemens...

boy, it’s hard to know who to root for in that race. They’re both so darn likeable…

How about the one that DIDN'T have an affair with a teenager?
Game.

Set. Match.

Randy Johnson

My wife says he is the ugliest person she’s ever seen. You can’t forgive ugliness.

Clemens is way ahead in

Girlfriends

Shwing!

thanks for the narrative, following online.

Takin what they're given.

Yes! Its sooo nice to be on the other side of those BS plays!

Karma for Herges.

How bout you play the game, old man.

OUCH!!!
where did it hit him?
grazed his chest, apparently.
Last year, Rammy's still jiggling like Taft.
from Taft to taut?
you sir.

you get 5 schrute bucks for that.

what's the exchange rate to Stanley nickels?
he really is

much thinner this year.

It just

grazed his chest

ARAM

HBP. Grazed. Bases loaded.

Bases loaded.
Soto

dreamily steps to the plate!

SWL...Bases loaded.

It’s an overflow thread…I think you can put it up…

Come on Baby....

Hit one out.

Time for a SotoSlam
hell

just get a HIT!

C''mon Geo!!!!!!
Just walked in

Boring game, huh?

oh, you know...

up and down…

I think, as a group, we've had our best game thread ever tonight.
when you're tied for the best record

in baseball, and you’re playing THIS WELL…

I think we’re all giddy.

Damn. I'm jealous.
Well, you're here now.

I think you brought them luck. You are staying right?

was thinking that earlier.

I’ve really enjoyed this tonight. Nice moments.

I'm doing my best to drag us down!
remember about 20 minutes ago

when we were all imagining Taft in a bathtub in butter?

Good times…

The Gail Fischer convo ALONE...

...was priceless.

+1

That was gold!

Sorry I keep walking away to the TV

Gail Fischer? I’m gone for one night and there’s already new puns and memes.

Check out the last game thread if you're curious.

Short version: shoulders like an interior lineman. And something about Howard Taft covered in butter.

May be you were.

I had someone else in mind. :P

Gail Fischer?
um no.......
I'm not sure there's anyone I want to picture in a bathtub, smeared in butter.
Not even Orvile Reddenbacher?!?
butter glistening

in all the wrinkles…

Oh, well...

of course there’s old Orville. Who DOESN’T want to see him smeared in butter?

Orville OH YEAH!!
im gonna agree w/ sue again.
no, that's the Kool-Aid

guy

I'm not down with the Region.
Reminds me of that time that Kramer

was using butter to sunbathe…

Sue, you sly dog...
/blush

kidding, kidding. obviously Soto or hubby. prolly both? lol

at the same time?

sly dog INDEED?

either or
What is going on?

Haha I’m just cracking up reading all your random comments that,

Should stick around.

It’s a good time in here tonight.

"Burgess rubbing up a brand new ball"

just sounds wrong coming out of Pat’s mouth.

and that sounds wrong too.

Soto flies to RF, Smith makes the catch, Theriot tags, SCORES! CUBS LEAD!
Soto

SAC FLY! Just like last night!

5-4 CUBS!

Sac two night in a row NICE
Scrappy scores 5-4
Soto is such a stud
/women (and many men) nod in agreement
And

He can play baseball

Chicks dig him...

...and guys think he’s cool.

It's what they said about Mantle...

Kids idol him, men want to be him, and women just want him.

Yes....yes he is...........
A hit would be nice right here

go Fuk u dome

did you know he was married?
Geo?

Yes I knew that. They had a baby in the off season.

I just heard that tonight.
I heard them say

when the season started that he had a new baby daughter. On Mother’s Day he used a pink bat and when they interviewd him he daid he did it for his mom and his wife.

Yes!!

Geo believes, Morpheus! He IS the one!

Nice work kid.

Blow it open, Kosuke…

was strike 2 a bad call?

gameday shows it way off the plate

make that strike 1
both strikes looked really questionable
Santo

wants a foul ball!

Fukudome is...

the Anti-Jacque

MARMOL!!!!

Ready to pitch

Fired up!

Yes we can!

Kosuke

Ks.

Looking no less...

Rare.

Okay, earlier when I said Marmol could use some work, I was KIDDING.
if he can go fast

then he can turn it over to Woody for the 9th.

It’ll be ok.

27 appearances

man he gets worked

34 pitch inning was the last one
2 pitches enter

one out leaves

Thunderdome!
Fly ball out to Reed. 1 out
Not Marmol...

ARE WE TRYING TO BLOW HIS ARM OUT BY THE ALL-STAR BREAK?

He's got to be the setup guy...

However I don’t believe in using him when they have a 5 run lead or are losing by 5 runs.

who do you suggest?

Marmol is 99% lights out. Howry? Not so much.

Howry is coming around.

He was pretty good last year.

but he's not there yet

and it’s cold tonight. He’s a warm-weather guy.

I understand Marmol was a starter in his previous life...but WTF
If we were going to use Marmol today...

...why didn’t we bring him in when the bases were loaded?

how's his slider looking

last couple times it wasn’t as tight…

better tonight.

he stranded a lot of runners last year, but that’s really not his role this year. he seems to usually start the inning this season

Why ISN'T that his role?

It’s a lot harder to do that then it is to get three outs with the bags empty, regardless of inning.

it's an interesting question

I presume that Lou wanted to give Wuertz the time, to try and prevent Marmol from having to come in?

I don’t know.

Struck out Taveras. 2 out.
man!

You guys are faster than my DirecTV! :)

Marmol

Ks the next guy.

Foul tip...

Strike three, two away.

The Cubs need like 3 blowout wins in a row so Marmol can get some rest.
maybe even a complete game
Agreed...

But for some reason Lou STILL USES HIM!!!

K!

what was that, ten pitches? twelve?

13

according to gameday

damn thats awesome
cake.

He can do THAT four times a week, I bet.

STRIKE OUT ON A FALLING SLIDER!!
3 out, nicely done Marmol.
Engine 78

Just left the building

Smith k's

Marmol goes 123

I'd be totally ok with that
Every time you hear a bell ring...

...an angel gets its wings Marmol gets another out.

that was great

Right Sue?

yes it was
On a pace..

for over 100 IP last I looked….

what's his average

number of pitches per inning tho? 15? 20?

?

No idea….but last year was 69 IP if IRC.

cwyers?

do you know?

according to b-r.com

16.36 pitches per inning (540 pitches, 33 innings)

is that a lot?

I don’t think that’s a lot.

what average?

what was his average last year?

stats say

10.27

not too sure.

howry

16.85 per inning
wuertz – ~15

ok

let’s get some insurance runs now.

34 Wood warming up in bullpen.
Pat excitedly describes

a DeRosa foul ball.

:P

It was a good one.
not to worry

im watching on TV

I love when he does that...

swing and that ball is DRIVEN DOWW THE FIRST BASE LINE but it’s foul.

23 road games in next 32
They have GOT to get better on the road.
At least go .500
I think we can do that

this road trip.

It's weird cause last year they were great on the road.
true...

i remember thinking last year “Let’s just get back on the road.”

Darn...

The Cards won.

w00t

Houston lost!

we are hopping down memory lane w/ santo about 1969

ouch

DeRO!

a double, after a dozen pitches!

Cedneo gets his chance

pinch running for DeRo. One presumes he’ll take over at second.

What a great at bat.
Double for DeRo

Let’s drive ‘em in.

*switches channel from abc*

OK, Lost is over. Did I miss anything? ;-)

Who put butter inside the 1Bs glove?

Someone thank them for me.

haha, it was Taft
dis

if discussing presidents and dairy products…... helps the game thread go more smoothly.

SHAME!!
:-P

Dude, that finale was worth it.

Weak finale. The snake in the box wasn't much of a snake this year.
Not really.

Everyone though that e* n* was in the *s, but when snuck up on a*... ;-)

t...w...s...s...?
...What
Stupid asterisks

I was trying to avoid a spoiler and use asterisks to conceal who I was talking about.

oh crud, forgot that asterisks make bold txt
You listen to the Jay and Jack podcast? It's the best for LOST info, IMO
No, but I think my Dad does

I have to be careful with extra-curricular LOST stuff… if I paid too much attention, I would get sucked in and stop, like, going to class and work and watching games so I could sit and ponder everything.

Please, join me in the dark side of LOST info...spoiler free, but fun

http://lostpodcast.proboards2.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=general&thread=7733&page=6

Awesome, thanks!
Yeah, download the podcast, the guys are father/son and pretty funny and in-depth
Nice.

My Dad and I could give them a run for their money, Cubs and LOST are pretty much all we talk about. :-)

Also, even if the snake at the end was 'weak'

That moment on e--’s o- made it all worth it… ‘cause I’m a sucker for warm fuzzy moments like that.

what the EFF, it ate my hyphens!

Well, screw you too board! :-P

You've missed a good game thread.

Glad you’re here now.

Thanks!

I’ll read it later.

Nice pauir there, Hoff.

Onedec

I hope

NICE BUNT!

Reed is safe, Onedec is at third!

That was nice.
Excellent!!!!!!!!!!!!
Where did Onedec come from...

I joined the website and everyone was calling him that.

He turned his game around....hence
Cedeno

turned it around… becoming Onedec. :0)

Cedeno

turned it around this year, so we turned his name around, hence

ohhhhhhh...

Now I see.

helton's

having a rough game at first

E-1...

Everyones safe!!!! First and third no outs. Let’s see if Micah can get the job done.

sorry if i'm an idiot

can someone explain onedec

1dec

is Cedeno spelled backards

Cedeno

turn it around.

See BCB dictionary...
how about some

hoffPOWER . . . it’s about time for that.

Everybody is safe!

Second weird play w/ Helton at first.

BASE HIT TO CENTER! ONEDEC scores. 6-4 Cubs!
Hoffpauir's first career RBI.
HOFF POWER!

Cedeno scores! Reed to 2nd, Hoff at first!

Base hit for Hoffpauir!!!!

First career RBI and the Cubs lead 6-4!!!

YAY!!!!

Man I can’t wait to finally see them play this weekend. It’s been forever since they’ve played, been on the air and I’ve had a day off!!

Wow! I am good luck....Or Not.

This team is just hotter than Gail Fisher bathing w/ William Taft covered in butter….(I have no idea what I’m talking about)

And yet you've captured tonight's game perfectly.
just apply some heat and

POPCORN!

RIUAPFFOH?
that's

a mouthfull

Easy for you to say.
Any one have a...

...pic of the Hoff handy? It’s the kid’s first MLB RBI!

man, I love this team!!!!!
And the aggressive manager

NO FEAR

now that would be a cool picture.

Lou in his cubs uni with NO FEAR underneath.

DOUBLE STEAL! Ball in the dirt, too. Nice choice. Everyone moves up 90 feet. No throw.
WHEEEEE!

This team is amazing.

Double Steal baby!!!!!
Hate to be too obvious.

But Edmonds was on the bench while HoffPOWER was pinch-hitting. Doesn’t look too good for his future.

looks good for our future though
One more AB for Dome, please

and you’ve got enough insurance runs…

8-4 Cubs already

we’re probably ok. Woody can sit down!

i bet he'll still come in
Let's get Eyre some innings.
double steal!!!

the catcher “smothered” the pitch. wonder if there was butter involved????

SORIANO!

TWO MORE RUNS SCORE!

SORIANO LINES A BASE HIT! One is in, Hoffpauir will try it, he's SAVE! Torrealba couldn't handle the throw. CUBS 8, ROCKIES 4
GUESS HACK HITTER!
Trying for another home run.
selfish of him

making Hoff run like that just to jack up his RBI count.

you read

just like Pat Hughes ;)

the Cubs, wearing the blue home hats with the red dot atop them. white jerseys, with blue pinstripes. big CUBS logo on the left chest, blue numbers and letters on the back with red trim ...
Soriano

the lean left fielder leans in with his lean bat…

BASE HIT FOR SORIANO!!!!!!!

TWO RUNS SCOR CUBS LEAD 8-4!!!!!

Enough with the butter

I’m getting hungry

How about this?

Wow...

To bad I just ate dinner.

that looks very tasty.
What's that?
I don;t care, i want some
I really miss the food over in Japan.
This is a famous Nagoya taste, home of Chunichi Dragons

Huge croissant, maple sirup and vanilla ice cream on top

you just made my pregnant wife drool all over my arm
Dragonfantastic... Did you see Mariah Carey

Throw out the first pitch in Tokyo last night?

you mean the first spike?
Did you see how the

Camera zoomed in on her legs for an inordinate amount of time? The whole thing was just friggin weird.

I saw it

Mark Kroon was too smiley

"Too smiley"

Ha! Agreed.

This team is good.
and

the rox are AW-ful.

DUDE!

shhhhhhh

reddevil I think that is the favorite thing I've heard all night :)
I was yelling at him to Touch The Base again

but he got it the first time. Thank God. Wow, we’re awesome.

SORIANO!!!!

Excellent. I wish I could dance around my office.

you can dance

if you want to.

you can leave your friends behind
Isn't it "You can leave your past behind?"

appropriate.

FRIENDS....

that’s right

cause if friends don't dance

WELL THEY’RE NO FRIENDS OF MINE

is there anyone there besides you? (not sure what time zone your in)

if not… dance away

Mountain

There are 4 other people here, but I may just bite the bullet if theriot scores. :P

Do they have someone up besides Wood?

It would appear he might get a night off… :P

Way to go Guess Hack Hitter!!!
Lieber up
Theriot crouches and scraps out a walk.
The Single Walking Machine
Pat says this lead will save Kerry from coming in
someone should inform Pat that Wood is still throwing in the pen.
Lee GIDP. 2 out.
time to get rid of Lee
Not in a million years.
you're forgot the ;)
i was doing my troll impression
yeah, he didn't hit a homerun, what gives
take his scholarship
D-Lee

Grounds into a DP.

Woods up with Lieber now.
Ramirez pops out.
Top of the 9th here we come!

Lieber up!

They just said Kerry's coming in.
Pat said Lieber...
On tv they showed Wood

walking to the mound

Wood coming in

odd

Wood is coming in
Don't like using the closer

in non-save situations. Bad mojo.

especially

when Demp was closing

maybe Lou

wants him to get more confidence.

Every ninth he can close without hitting the leadoff man is a good inning. :D

would understand if

there hadn’t been time to get Lieber ready.

course, Wood didn’t pitch yesterday.

He didn't pitch yesterday...

...and Woody may not get too any chances to close in a 4 game series with the Rox.

Wood is in. Cedeno stays in to play 2B.
Strike out called of Helton. 1 out.
nice curve ball for strike 3
Helton K's one away.
weird

but that’s one!

my thoughts exactly!
K!

that’s TWO!

Dammit!!

It’s storming here and we just lost our satellite.

Another strikeout...

Two outs.

Hopefully you don't miss much!
I wonder how far away it is from me.
her satallite?

go up a coupla miles…

Where are you?

I’m in Iowa.

Its far...

Im in Illinois.

It has stormed all

day here. I’m sure it’s coming your way.

It looked like it was about too...

But it just drizzled a bit.

Didn't you

just get hit hard the other night too?

Yes, it was

awful. A town 35 miles from us was destroyed by a tornado.

Wow...

Too close….stay safe!

I will. Thanks
Yeah, it's headed for Chicago

Surprised we haven’t had a crawl on the screen yet.

back to back k's for kerry

12 games above .500

Strikeout swinging....Woody's dealing.
This team is amazing.

It makes me so happy!!!

two out single

still two outs

Does it get much better than this??????????????
in October
weather here could be september.

but I mean for May

that's when it'll get better

this is quite a ride so far . . .hard to top it until then

exactly. *smiles*
:-)

indeed

plus by then its football saturdays and Cubs... imagine that!!!!!
ah, yes

nothing like the stress of watching a Badger game when the Cubs are in the race . . . was a mess in 2003 on those Saturdays.

I ended up unemployed end of September ........

so all I did in October was football/baseball.

sorry to hear that

but at least you had some fun . . . up until the Illinois game. ugh. flew from Kenosha to Champaign for that . . . flew back in time for game 3.

Highlight of that day was sharing a cab with Barry Alvarez

really? thats cool.

Coach Bielema I’d happily share a cab with. blush

so are you in shanghai now?

ah, he's single and a Cub fan

Not in Shanghai right now . . . in WI. I try not to be there in the summer. Hotter than hell and more humid than Florida

I suppose he is from Iowa that would make sense
yep -- he sang TMOTBG last year

the childish Brewers announcers gave him crap for wearing a Cubs jersey

it's kinda weird to only be like 5 years younger than

him.

yeah, I know what you mean
where in wisconsin are you?
Racine

from Kenosha, work in Milwaukee.

and, as you’ve probably guessed, school in Madison.

ok people are gonna wonder how in the middle of a game thread

we started a conversation LOL.

I suppose that's true

but all kinds of conversations go on in these. kind of like Santo and Hughes . . . .

very true...

one last question… then it bedtime for me.

what year you graduate?

1995

B.S.E.E.

but - that doesn’t really tell how old I am, does it ;)

Brett is a few years older than me

very true.

bedtime for me.

night night

good night . . .

I should go soon too

he's just under 3 years older
anyone know

how Tampa Bay did today?

lost to sox
so that means

if we win…

That doesn't really mean a lot

in May though

It's a hell of a lot better than having the worst record in baseball!
I'll take it.
mmm, mmmm!

tastes GOOOOOOOD!

Lost

to white sox

Cubs Win!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Hell yeah boyeeeeeeeeeeeeeee…. Good night all, let’s win another one tomorrow.

Nite!!
Goodnight! Stay dry and safe!
night sue!
I was telling LT

night. I’m sticking around for the fun. :D

excellent!

break out the Zima!

WOOD STRIKES OUT THE SIDE!

click it, you lovers and madmen!


CUBS WIN CUBS WIN CUBS WIN CUBS WIN!

CUBS WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The suspense is killing me
and we're singing

GO CUBS GO….

Well....

....not any more.

STRIKE THREE CALLED!

CUBS WIN CUBS WIN CUBS WIN!!!!

BEST RECORD IN BASEBALL!!!!!! 12 GAMES OVER .500!

Yessssssssssss!!!

Photobucket

I love seeing Milton
Congrats for another win

does that say cubs win?
right

simple equivalent of “W”

Thank you!
GO CUBS GO!!!!!!!!

YAY!!!! Wood rocks!

YES YES YES YES!!!!!!!

YES YES YES!!

also, YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES!!!!!!
THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID
WHO?
YOUR MOM

I kid, I kid. You know who.

yeah, we ALL do.
Gail Fischer.
...please no.
Oh. I SEE HOW IT IS.
wha-?
jealous of Gail, are we?

only she can break stories like OMG COLLINS MIGHT BE THE BULLS NEW COACH OMG I HAVE NOT HEARD THAT EVERYONE ON TV OR THE INTERNET TODAY WHAT A SCOOP!!!!

Dude, Gail is jealous of ME.
There ya go.

She should be jealous of you too.

/smug smile

Darn straight. ;-)

why?
because bluebythebook can read?

oooo burn.

play nice now
you're defending Gail??
hell no
because i was making fun of her prompter reading skills...
sorry..didn't catch that.
Hey, can you name a prettier interior lineman?!?
Carrie Muskat?
Gail Fischer is SO prettier than Carrie Muskat.
I know.

It was a joke. ;-)

YUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!
Saint Louis beat Houston, FWIW.
And the Braves pasted the Brewers, 8-1.

Branyan got a solo homer for the Crew.

Another quetionable outing for Jason Marquis. Is anybody as

frustrated with him as I am?

aren't we all?
The guy drives me nuts. He has pretty good

stuff, but he won’t throw it in the zone.

I believe

drewish may be given his opinion from the previous start.

Yes.

I think it’s quite clear how much Marquis blows, especially when he’s compared to good players. $10 bucks says he’s not on the playoff roster!

$20 says he's released

by September, but I’ll probably lose that bet.

WWPRD?

What Would Pete Rose Do?

punch

Jason Marquis in the face.

Ze Marquis de Suck?

Yes. Can we exile him to Elba or something?

[yes, I know it was Napoleon who was sent to Elba and not the Marquis de Sade. Details, schmetails.]

No Pie Face for Hoffpauir?!

BOOO!

I KNOW! what the heck! i started the recorder expecting one! BOO!
missed all the action!

but im here a dancin with you all!

woohoo...bout time
cywers you got the postgame covered?
I'm at work tonight, sorry.

I get off in a few minutes, so I’ll see what I can do then.

no worries

heck I spelled you handle wrong anyway

chev. player of game is bullpen and soto... team effort
this is the year and the Cubs are REAL
Looks like Marquis still wobbling ..

.. is it me or is he just improving by bare notches each start?

he's treading water.
that's probably about as good as you can say
He's f--king useless. And I'm not being sarcastic!
He does some use.

He ate up innings tonight and we won!

I wouldn't exactly call stumbling through 5 1/3 eating up

innings. If he had been pitching to a real lineup, he would have gotten torched.

I agree

he/we are playing with fire.

what did they hit him for before he got pulled?

anyone know his pitch count by the sixth?

Remember to take out the recycling

It’s not foreplay but it’s still very important.

For Gail Fischer.

In his dreams.

in HER dreams

You know my response to this

However, I won’t share it as this is a family joint.

Also, it will be impossible for her to sleep,

and therefore dream, if she’s freezing her a$$ off because someone is hogging the blankets.

Just sayin’

Q-and-A with Lou on Wood

Unidentified Reporter: You don’t mess around at the end of games, you go for the win. Brought in Wood in non-save situation?
Piniella: I had him warmed up…. So we used him… Might rain tomorrow… Is that it? (leaves)

lol

The only reporter who I can positively ID by voice is Carrie Muskat.
male voice, light-to-medium Chicago accent
Right. She's the one with the deepest voice.
I know a bruce levine when i hear one

WIN!

Wont be able to watch the game tommorow, hope i get to come home to a 5 game winning streak.

I may actually finally

get that Cubs tattoo this season. If and when they win the WS, I will get the marquee with CHICAGO CUBS WORLD CHAMPIONS and the date under it. I’ve been waiting a long time.
Then I’ll take a bottle of Old Style to my Grandma’s grave and pour one for Granny!
I love the Cubs
I love the Cubs
I love it when the Rockies play like crap

Interesting...

The Cubs have held a lead in 20 straight games.

Most since 1935?

Thought I heard this somewhere…
