FIRST
made all of you "z" punchers look lol
Looks like a decent shot

to make that 0-7

cmon, Bobby

get this guy out!

Is there a backup for Howry?

Not that he’ll need it. Just wondering. I guess there’s Eyre.

Never mind. Bob and Len answered me: Yes.
one more out bobby
Oh crap. Smash line drive single to RF, run scores. 6-4
Maybe it is just my TV...

but McCann looks like he could use the Kerry Wood diet

howry just can't close it!!
tws......this is a gimme. (twss)
man

Howry’s not quite back in the groove, that’s for sure.

Guess we’re going to see Woody.

GET HIM OUT!!!!!
Another hit. 6-5
Crap!

pull Howry.

NEW PITCHER

47 Eyre LHP

aww come on!!

what the hell is wrong with howry??

Howry Cow! that was awful!
He seems to be streaky. Sometimes he's unhittable. Other times everyone hits him.

Not good.

To much time off.

Needs to work more

darn!!!!

$#@#%^#@#^^!!!!

throwing

meatballs

Come on Eyre.

We can’t blow this. :(

That said...

...the Braves are terrible in one-run games.

So maybe this works to our … advantage?

I know. A reach.

is it possible to more inconsistent then Howry

we need another dependable arm in that bullpen

Mitch Williams would like to have some speaks with you.
LOL

walk ‘em loaded then strike out the side

They know what "Night Moves" is about, right?
one would think

with their knowledge of music

Maybe they are hoping most people don't...
cougar alert in the bleachers!
+1

fan cam was on tonight!

Somewhere, Arnie Harris is smiling...
Aww gee....I get home and see a nice 6-3 score....

and then to my horror in the 8th inning I see Bobby Howry pitching…..whine….

Some of those fan shots were quite attractive. I'm feeling better.

I hope Eyre gets this guy out.

Which ones are attractive?

Do you like hamsters?

I like cwyer's Wonder Hamster.

But I like watching the fan cams at Wrigley better.

Horrible strike call....I'll take it!
cmon, Stevie Ire!
COME ON, SCOTT
BIG K for Scotty
Great job by Stevie Aire!
#47 TO THE RESCUE!!!!!!
Thataway Scotty!!!!
KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK
whew...good job Scott
Eyre's becoming awfully damn reliable again!!!!!!
Is anyones chin hair less attractive than our beloved Stevie Air????

Sweet….swiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing and a miss!!!

How DARE you.... lol
dare i say

scott spezio.

please!

Don’t dare!

okay, i wont.

whew!

Bobby Jenks has something unholy growing on his face.
Everything about the White Sox is unholy.
Well at least their preseason predictions weren't dead-wrong!

Unlike SOMEONE who was wrong about their pitching hitting and defense!!!!

/DrCrawdad

Hard to pick up the ball when distracted by chin hair?
MASSIVELY AWESOME K!!!!!!!1

Can we get some insurance here for Kerry please?

that was a great strike

scott handled the ball well there

Do you know what time it is, kids?

Mike Fontenot time!

fontenot

now I feel dirty

all over again…

TWSS
ah, yes

but then I get to help her clean up again.

That hamster is awesome.

I always smile. :)

me too.

he looks like a perfect stuffed animal

what? put you in? b-b-but you're not that good! what's that? yes .... you are pretty freaking cute .... sigh ... I can't say no to you ...

/signals umpire

Good call.
He's Lou's favorite hitter off the bench now.

Wasn’t a tough guess. Besides, if I was wrong – we still get to see the Wonder Hamster, and that has laugh value of its own.

IM ON UR TEAM, BLOKIN UR PROSPEKS
Why are people calling Eyre..

Steve?

Lou

called him “Stevie Ire” in a post-game conference once, I think.

He did that like 3 times!
yep he did last year
That's like asking why the sky is blue...

to answer your question…I have no idea…sorry

eyre! what a pitch!!

always someone there to pick up another teammate….

good eye

fontenot can really eye down those balls

It's because they're so big!

fontenot

I promise I’ll stop now.

Nice softball....\
I think he is begging for it...
Yeah, he really is.
..............................not touching that one. (which IS what ss)
Sori solo shot time?
wow

that ground-out was Theriotesque in it’s grandeur.

When is Ward due back

and why don’t you pinch hit Edmonds there?

Ward isn't due back.

Last I heard, he hadn’t even had BP in a while.

Little Lord Fontenot has sneaky power. Edmunds has real power.
Edmunds

is no Cajun Ninja.

Len heard me...

....lol. Probably Hoffpair as a DH for the interleague series

It's SCRAPPY time!
Rough life....a rooftop apt. across from Wrigley and a HDTV too.
yeah, but you don't get a #26 hat.
SORI!!! Base Hit
Soriano

hits the ball through the hole

Ok, now it's just getting ridiculously obvious...
i'm only repeating what Len said :D
maybe he's in on this too
Sori-

(clap clap clap) A- no! (clap clap clap)

Whoa...

Chad Fox sighting…

Christ, Len, don't do that!

He mentioned Chad Fox and my heart skipped a beat.

Chad Fox is GOD

Bow to him. DO HIS BIDDING.

soriano to third!!!
SORI ON 3RD!!!
Sori looking good
twss
weak..
twss
Should we start requiring some degree of creativity here?
TWSS
You could just see them coming...

i know, i know…

The Knightrider version...

or the drunk eating a burger off the floor version…

Hoff-power is coming back soon!! Sweet!!!
My goodness: SORI!
Insurance 101 time
kick save

and a beauty

Sori creates havoc!

Too bad the Riot can’t hit fly balls!

If you can't reach the warning track with this wind behind you...

...and Ryan Theriot can’t, as he showed earlier, then it’s actually a really GOOD thing that you don’t hit fly balls.

WHEW - no out on that play
YAY, SORI!!!

Let’s get him in and give us a little bit of breathing room!!!

Scrap-tacular!!!
HA!

Sori deeked him and he dropped the ball. Hilarious.

did he yell at him as he rounded the base?

/shades of A-Rod in Toronto

No.

The pitcher tried to look him back to third and Sori jerked like he was going to go, and pitcher flubbed it.

That was a gift. Soriano dropped the ball that he fielded as he tried to throw. That E prolongs the inning.
huh?
rafael soriano

is pitching for the braves

nvm

no he isn’t

correct, but Len thinks he is. and Len's voice is what I go off of.
scrappy

well, that was probably the best possible result there.

Lee’s been hitting the ball VERY hard. Let’s GET A HIT!

Good job DLee!!!!
Thank GOD - 7-5
Soriano scores on a sac fly, 7-5. Cubs get one back.
how important was

THAT STEAL!

7-5 Cubs!

No wonder the Braves stink in one run games...imploding defensively
it's good to be home

nice sac fly by dlee

So I thought

McCan was supposed to be good? He doesn’t look it here… or did I just miss a lot.

This 3 run HR brought to you by Les Nesman!
I have no idea what that means

but I like it anyway

WKRP in Cincinnati...Les Nessman (sp) was the news guy...
I know who Les is

but why is he bringing us 3-run homers?

well, I guess I'm glad he did, regardless of why
WKRP promo on WGN was on right before his at-bat
ah... missed that. superstation, or regular GN?
NICE CALL!!!!
Gracias...but Les never made curtain calls...great to see Geo get one!
Earl Weaver

would have been proud.

Herb would have taken one, though
Soto

come on baby. A nice little line drive somewhere.

i agree with the crowd....

booooo!

Just puts more men on for Soto to drive in.
Again.

BlueMike thought Lee should be on the bench for this game.

Well, his replacement would have done EVEN BETTER!!111!!
All Lee needs is for him to suggest a trip to the minors...

he should go on a tear after than…

send him to Daytona, and he can try to hit against the revitalized Dontrelle Willis.
Still though, if Lee had gone 0-for-4 with 4 K's he would look pretty smart.

Can we really get him for this?

We can? Great. WAY TO GO, BLUE MIKE!!!!!!!

It's Blue Mike

We can always get him

yeah, but.

the point is, Lee DIDN’T.

Right.

You can’t get out of a slump from the bench – you have to be at the plate to get hits.

Theriot should get an SB for that one...
I think he did?
I have no idea what the reasoning of the official scorer was there.
I had no idea you could give a FC on that kind of play...
I'm still of the opinion you can't!
Holy @#$@$^$#

Sooooooooooooootoooooooooooooooooo!

SOX LOSE! SOX LOSE!

Revenge is sweet.

Red or White?

either way, meh

bluebythebook sends the following haiku, written back when Alfonso was up:

Soriano is up
Lord of crazy bleacher fans
Someone made a sign

Dude, you changed your avatar!

Nice.

you like?

I have a road one and alternate one too. I plan on changing it according to the Cubs’ uni choices.

nerd >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
That, sir, is a fantastic idea.

I admire your dedication.

how about a bp one

for pre-game threads?

hmmmm........not a bad idea either.
I think thats cool.

but im pretty nerdy, so I might not the one to ask

wow.

that’s a lotta work. :P

eh, I just keep them all saved on the desktop. : )
you could also..

do redishtron….that would be cool too..

what's that?
like onedec...
so I was terrible at first and am only now turning it around?

oh…..well…...I thank you … for your honesty …..

/stares into space

Guess what I'm

naming my gnome when he gets here?

Chipper?
hope but

nice try

should be nope
haha. couldn't resist.

I accept your scorn.

hope but

is kind of a strange name, isn’t it?

darn typo's
lol
that is awesome.
excellent gnome name. :)
10-5 Go Cubs Go!!!
GEO MAKES IT A LAUGHER!!!!!
Someone tell Wood to sit down.
Chad Fox is begging to come off the DL for the 9th...

“Come on Lou, you know I can hold a 5 run lead…”

Lou knows no such damn thing!

At least, I hope he knows no such damn thing.

good god

so do I.

Soto is such a stud!!!!!
oh hell yeah
Hell yeah Soto
NL starting all-star catcher!
Ladies and Gentlemen

Say hello to your starting catcher for the National League All-Star Team!

GEO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WHEEEE!!!!!

AWESOME!

So now Wood sits?
I think so

Give him the rest.

Leiber time
that's what

they’re saying.

Soto is the man!!
Is this enough to get him off the schneid?
Can someone get me Geo for my birthday plskthx?

Pleeeeease?

I can send someone wearing his jersey. Close?
I accept no substitutes.
I have his jersey

and if I can get Jose from the fitness center to get his behind to Chicago I may have an autograph and I’m afraid that’s all my husband would go for.

I think the Cubs are going to keep him.

Sorry.

They can still keep him on the team.

I just want him the rest of the time. If only to worship the ground he walks upon,

I think me and sue have dibbs on him already
But it's for my biiiiiiiirthdaaaaaaaaay!

/pouts in corner

me and sue a while ago called dibbs on him sorry
but if he decides to go in a different direction, I'm first in line.
Great homerun

Now I can go out to lunch at the right time

Lieber to pitch the 9th
that is what Pat just said
twps?
that's a timesaver right there.
good one

(theres a first time for everyone thing)

twmcfs
hmm????
aw, come on

you can figure it out

thats what mcf said

mcf????

silly girl...

who might mcf be?

you?

maybe the nail polish remover fumes are getting to me

hint!

no, I would be sb….

oh duh
it's gotta be the fumes!

northsider was trying hard to help you….

not use to that s/n

I only use it on this one.

nevertheless...
i'd a dork
no argument there
you'd agree more if you knew me in real life
I don't doubt that, either

lol

*nods in agreement*
nothing wrong with being a little dorky!
twmcfs
I blame it on the fumes.
but im a nerd with really cute toes
and a blue and tan rug
well details on that.

I have made it thru the day! All is well!

good job!

and the Cubs helped again

part of stress got cleared up this morning.

so i was doing better anyways today!!!!

well, that's good

because it sounded on Sunday like there was a lot of it

the boyfriend moving part hurts but I can deal with

thats just a matter of time. dealing w/ grandparents
stuff also was a bit overwhelming

sorry to hear all that

how far is he moving? sometimes that can still work

he moved all his stuff outta my apartment

I meant

ps do you have yahoo messanger. we coudl continue this conversation there if you want

I have MSN . . . are they compatible?
well I have msn but its under my real name
whats your s/n for msn?
oddly enough

mine is “Shanghai Badger”..

@ hotmail. com?
it's asking me for email addy
did you try under "nickname"?
ok, now I need to figure out

what e-mail address I used

well yahoo messanger is really easy to download

and i use it all the time.

what is your yahoo messenger handle?

I don’t mind giving you the e-mail address, just reluctant to do it on the board here

its goofy...... keep that in mind

lovetosleep_whyamihere

no, that's the display name

shouldn’t need an email address, I think…let me check

what color did you go with?

mine are purple and i love it. :-)

I love coming home to the Cubs winning.

Seriously. How awesome is that???

Sunday's game was good

but this is SO FREAKIN’ FINE!!!!

its awesome...I just hope you weren't coming from the game! lol
How was 4 H?

we had a whole discussion about it when you left. LOL.

it was good

i’m helping with the dog project so i spent 3 hours teaching kids how to hold their leash. Heh. But its good. Responsible dog ownership is a thing of mine. :-)

Jacque Jones to pitch the 9th
He's going to bounce every ball to the plate?
Glavine

apparently was able to ROLL them across the plate for strikes, so why not?

Escobar is pretty good...
I'm liking this winning stuff

...after years of doing the opposite…

I never even guessed how cool it could be.
Lost his footing..

...but still could have thrown that guy out…

Speaking of Jacque Jones

He’s hitting .108 since signing with Florida.

nice pickup for them...kinda slams the brakes on their youth movement
But he offsets it with that plus arm
lol

Frank Burns-like

only if that plus formula has spaghetti in it
He's...

...a 2nd half player…LOL.

Oh OK - EVERYTHING is a strike and THAT'S NOT?
Lieber walks the guy.

let’s get the DP and be done with this…

He must be worried about who's manning the insurance desk
wait for it....
and......................SCENE!
quit screwing around, Liebs!
Wood up again

Retarded.

he was already pretty warm.

it doesn’t hurt him to throw a few more.

Kerry Wood warming up again.
THIS GUY IS NOT CALLING *ANYTHING* NOW
Weird.

He was calling everything before.

getting squeezed in the 9th?
I don't think he's getting squeezed.
of a five-run game?
Just throw strikes Jon!!!
Cubs Win!!!!!!
Cubs win!!!!!!!!!!
Crank up the tunes!
Double play

And the Cubs win!!!!!!

DP!

WIN!!!

CUBS WIN!!!!
CUBS WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Holy cow!!
YES!!!

CUBS WIN! CUBS WIN! CUBS WIN!!!!

5-4-3 DP!

click it!

DP CUBS WIN!!!!!
Yes!!!

Photobucket

I love that guy.
There he is!

MY MAN!

ARam was SHOCKED that was in his glove when he looked up!
his glove was full of win!!

works for me.

this is my favorite song
Word.

There is not a better song on the planet.

YAY!!!

Cubs WIN! GO CUBS GO!!!!

This is great come back win

Kachi - the flag for win

Lilly gets the W and the QS, if I'm not mistaken.
oh yeah

Go Cubs Go, Go Cubs Go, Hey Chicago…etc.

good work everybody

see you all tomorrow

I took my Braves buddies to the Sunday game of the Rockies series

Everyone here in Knoxville is pretty much a Bravos fan, and when Go Cubs Go fired up they had a look on their face like the bitch that owns the Indians in Major League does when Wild Thing comes in from the bully in the last game….HILARIOUS!

Remember this song?

http://www.canyouseethesunset.com/music/3_the_brothers_defino_wgn_radio_cubs_theme.mp3

I get a 404 error on that page.
try pushing enter after the link again

it worked like my 3rd try

That's weird

It doesn’t have it for me. It plays the old WGN song “Everybody Loves the Cubs”

OMGZ!

Clickable linescores are back for MLB.tv archive games! Sweet!

nerd!
That's probably the most obvious thing ever said here.
its just like

‘who notices that?’ LOLZ!

AWESOME!

I’ll have to check that out. :) Thanks for the heads up!

what a game

one of the most exciting of the season. great job cubbies.

Well if there's one place to absolutely OWN, it's your HOME!
Hi Lilly, Hi Lilly, Hi Win!
Soto is player of the game!!!!
yay!

gotta love that guy!

reasonable

Lilly was solid, too.

I know, I know….twss

At some point it just loses all meaning. Seriously.
it was pre-emptive

someone would have done it

Really someone will say it for pretty much anything.

You could pretty much add “I know, I know… that’s what she said.” as your sig line at this point.

I suppose so

although I hardly think I’m the worst violator… not that I’m innocent, mind you

I've said it a handful of times.

Really only when the term “DP” is used. I pick my spots.

Well deserved.

Lilly did pitch a beauty though after the first.

someone needs to tell ted

that the first inning counts too. poor guy cannot get it going right off.

During his last start..

BB said Lilly likes to “ease” into the game.

that's one way of putting it. haha
Great pitching matchup on Thursday! Hudson vs Gatorade's Enemy #1
Sleep well fellow winners!
nite!
night and enjoy the win everyone!
Good night everyone
Good Night - CUBS WIN!
The right Kosuke Fukudome pronunciation

Here you go, per northsider’s request…

Now I’m going out to lunch… I’m gonna get this today…

Very nice

what is it?

It's

Okinawa Soba noodle (upper right), Omelet-chicken-rice with tomato sauce, tuna salad…. 6 bucks.

I got to go…

Oki!

dragons, I lived in Okinawa for 3.5 years, and will probably be going to a conference there sometime within the next 12 months. Perhaps we can get together at my favorite Sushi on the planet: Yoshi Hachi!

You know Yoshi Hachi here in Chatan ....;-)

The master is great guy :-)... There is also good place called Kitakaisen... I acually like their sushi better.
There are many new restaurant almost every day… I like Gordies humburger shop in Sunabe, and Jakkepoes Pancake house in Yomitan very much.

very cool.

thanks for the pronunciation. enjoy your lunch!!

Osco has midnight blue. which is cubbie blue

in case you wanted to do cubbie blue sometime girl

thought cubby blue was royal blue

is that the same? I don’t know from colors…

about just a tad darker
ooh. cool.

its funny i can’t actually SEE my toes, but they’re always a fun color.

true hadnt thought of that sorry
no. you're fine. :-)

i was wondering where the best cubbie blue was. i bought some from walgreens and it was WAY too dark.

a friend of mine likes to paint her fingernails with cubs colors

but she has it done at a parlor…I’ll try to remember to ask her what the shades are and will post…

im too cheap to get them done somewhere
the polish might be available off the shelf, tho
That looks yummy! enjoy!!
Night all, thanks for the great company during the game. :)
night! i'm off too.
night Mary Ellen

night, John Boy!

Night Homer

Night Marge!

great win

I don’t usually comment on here very often. But I have a complaint that is really bothering me. How can other fans (i.e. Cardinals fans) complain that we have played too many games at home when the Cubs have played one more game at home then they have. Sorry to complain about such a stupid thing but that really bugs me.

Why worry what

Cardinal fans say?

I know

But it still bothers me. Maybe I need to lighten up

I can understand; sometimes stuff like that bugs me, too

but it’s best to ignore it

They are just angry

that we’re winning more than they are.

And

that they can’t pull the superior attitude stuff with us like a certain poster on usenet specializes

Because they're idiots; Brewer fans bitch about it as well

“OMIGAWD I DON’T UNDERSTAND COMPUTERS AND SCHEDULE FORMATS OMIGAWD IF THEY KEEP PLAYING THESE MANY GAMES OF HOME THEY’LL PLAY LIKE A MILLION AT HOME OMIGAWD!!!!!!! MY MIND CAN’T COMPREHEND ALL THE HOME GAMES THEY’VE HAD!!! I CAN’T UNDERSTAND HOW THEY’LL BE ABLE TO PLAY MORE GAMES AWAY AT THE 2ND HALF OMIGAWD!”

SOMEONE GET ME TO A HOSPITAL! MY HEART CAN’T TAKE ABSOLUTE UNFAIRNESS IN QUANTITIES LIKE THIS!!”

At least that’s what it looks like to me.

What a night.

What a night Wolives win their title and come home to my DVR of a Cubs win.

These championships can be habit forming.

late September, back in '63...
what a special time ...
what a lady, what a night...
*December. D'OH!
yeah, but I knew what ya meant
just like Geo Bush Sr, if I recall

talking about D-Day….

Sr.

You do know they’re not Sr. and Jr., right?

< / pet peeve >

I do, but it's a quick reference
i was remembering the 21st night of september...
What an ejoyab

I enjoyed that game wholehartedly…god bless gameday for us abroad.

Uh oh

Just saw Pujols pulled up lame in their game tonight and had to be carried off the field. Probably a result of the “unfair” MLB schedulers and their Cub bias.
