Hi.

E-Pat and The Riot swing at first pitches.

The last 3 cub batters have seen….......... 3 pitches.

Send E-Pat back down, now!!
Yeah Take Two!!
Lee 2b!!! what a chance and he made it!!!
NICE HUSTLE DLEE!
Lee smashes one off of a diving Escobar's glove, it goes into CF, LEE GOES FOR SECOND! Here comes the throw and it's high! Lee safe at 2nd with a hustle double!
Sweet play-by-play
yeah, for real

thanks!

D-Lee to 2nd

We need a tad more patience at da plate...
Our best hitter

needs a hit here

lets go Rammy!!

good heads up running..

Here we go Ramirez here we go
Someone called an ARAM walk-off

I know it’s not the 9th…but this is close enough.

this inning will work

for me

Swing Easy ARam

Just need a single to tie….

CUBS BULLPEN

34 Kerry Wood RHP

C’mon Rami!

"Get one firm up in the air." - Bob Brenly

Low and away breaking pithces

Curveball in the dirt way outside, 1-2. Lee stays at 2nd.

C’mon Aram, wait for a strike….

Fastball high almost with the eyes, 3-2.

God I love Cubs baseball!

+1

C’mon Cubbies!!!

So much excitement
crowds getting loud

might have to turn down the radio

FULL COUNT

time to stand up
Are they going to put him on now?
Full count, two outs. Tying run at second. The 3-2 pitch ... fouled back to the screen by Ramirez and we'll do it again...
I'm boring holes in my monitor right now.
ha

my ears are on the radio

put down the drill!!!
Here's the payoff pitch. Ramirez pops one high, but foul behind the first base dugout. Still 3-2...
You're a godsend, mate.
Brian McCann

was about to jump in the stand for that one.. lol.

Oh Lord

I’m nervous!!

you

and me both, buddy.

Ramirez ready for the pitch. OUTSIDE! Ball 4.
That'll bring up Fukudome with two runners on and two out...
bb

Fu-Ku-Doh-May!
clap clap clap clap clap
Dome is my homey
Liking Dome Here

Good eye, good OBP

WOW - now THERE'S the 'patience' I was referring to
McDowell coaching visit to the mound.
I love it

when they chant Fukudome.

I love it

when i chant it at home!

lol

I do that too.

I like it so much

I think ALL chants are Fukudome lol

Let's go Fukidome, Sama!
I'd love a bloop single here...
OMG -

Like 16 new posts at once. Good grief.

Patience Is The Key
Lee is the runner at 2nd, and the go-ahead run stands at first in Ramirez. Fukudome takes 95 mph fastball, strike 1.
C'mon Fookie
Kosuke takes well outside, 1-1
Help My 'Z' key is about to go out on me!!!
Working Dome Outside

with fastballs.

Lets see him shoot one down the 3b line then.
BRAVES BULLPEN

46 Acosta RHP
13 Ohman LHP

ugh.

please don’t strike out.

Negative thoughts

/shun

"The fans are incredible" - Pat Hughes
Fukudome fouls one off, it's 1-2.
Who here wants a Kosuke batflip?
Dragon Fantastic

let us get some runs!

::grabs edge of seat::
Fukudome tries to slap one to LF, it's foul by plenty into the seats. Still 1-2....
HOW!

does he take that?

He's not a mere mortal.
God I love this sport!
I said the exact same thing probably at about the same time
Here comes the 1-2. taken, inside and low, for ball 2. Too close to take but Fukudome gets one. Boyer missed his spot, supposed to be outside but threw it in. Ump calls ball.
Fukudome grounds sharply to Chipper Jones, who beats Lee to the bag to end the inning. To the 9th....
I AM SO SICK OF IN PLAY, OUT(s)! BURN IN HELL!
BUT, you have to admit

IN PLAY (run)s can be awfully exciting during ‘the wait’.

until you see it's a sac fly
oh well...to the 9th!
fuku-dammit
Still need just one.

Shut em down, win in dramatic fashion. Works for me.

Its gonna happen
Bleachers have those signs

and far be it from me to deny them their chance to wave em.

haven't had a walk off hr yet this year...
Jimmy Baseball?
Gotta earn those pinstripes somehow.
I will get my tips frosted if Edmons hits any type of walk-off anything.

and I’ll wear a half-shirt and post the pic here…calm down sue.

Come on Jim!!!!! haha
You know what?

I could do without a win…

Get out.
I'm merely thinking of the children.
eh, that's ok
This is going to be one ugly Picture!!

Santoswoodenlegs – Point me in the way of the pic with highlighted tips and the half shirt!!!!!! Everyone on the team contributes at some point, glad JE picked today!!!

But Edmonds

didn’t hit a walk off today so SWL is safe.

He also didn't specify

which tips would get tipped

right our bottom of the lineup hitters

are all good

How about a 1948 walk off?
we still have one more chance... :)
Never Liked C. Jones

especially after the escapades with the Hooters waitress.

nothing wrong with Chipper

Personally I like the guy

Arrogant Air

about the guy, thinks his you-know-what don’t stink.

good guy..

I’m never mind chipper.. Always been a good guy in my book.

No.

He eats the mentally handicapped.

the leather

he made a solid play on that. Nothing to be done.

They did the old-school HEY HEY animation. heh. Now how about an actual reason for it?
Marmol will stay in to pitch to at least Escobar. No one in the pen.
damn

damn damn damn

Does anyone have a link to Micah Hoffpauir CAPS (create a player)

Since he got brought up, I want to create him for MLB:08

yeah

jim thome minus 20 years

Holy crap. What a slider. Escobar bent completely backwards in fear and the thing crossed the plate for a strike. That sucks.
Escobar pops out to Lee in foul ground, just beneath the coaches' box. 1 out.
Piniella to the mound for a new pitcher.

IN: 48 Neal Cotts LHP
OUT: 49 Carlos Marmol RHP

Pitch well Cotts
I cant wait

to see K.wood pitching in the 10th.

I'd rather not see KW in the 10th

Let’s get ‘er done in the bottom of 9th

Im fine with that also

just thinking its gonna happen :D

Who is due up

Soto
DeRosa
PH?

Soto, Edmonds, DeRosa, PH
All three

could do it with one swing.

And

Unfortunately they will try to…

And bad K’s

how about a 2 pitch inning?
LOL

that could only mean one thing!

and id be happy with that

That's why you play the games.
Soto, Edmonds, DeRo
soto edmonds dero
Sounds like a great chance
Here's to DeRo not even getting to bat

Due to the walkoff by Edmonds

Here's to Edmonds not getting to bat.
LOL

You’ve got to let it go…

What, Soto can't hit a grand slam just by sheer will?!

Well I’ll be.

years ago

sosa and alou went back to back to win by 1….ILL TAKE THAT

That was one the greatest games over
Vividly remember that game.

Let’s honor it today. It is throwback day, after all.

here comes my favorite pitcher
Too bad we don't have a huge Switch-hitting power hitting pinch hitter
Johnson (lefty) vs lefty Cotts.
double.. darn
Johnson singles to left-center, Kosuke misplays it, dropped it during the exchange. Johnson forced the error, he was sprinting, so now he'll take 2nd.
Soto walks out to the mound and punches Neil Cotts in the mouth
is soriano sitting in the dugout?

zzzz

i can NOT believe they're not putting jones on
questionable
inserting foot in mouth
StL Playing Tonight?
Yup

@ Cincy

:: prays for a Reds victory ::
Arroyo is pitching for CIN

he has been brutal

yeah against the dusty squad
There's Chip Caray for all you nostalgic types.
Jones strikes out. 2 out.
He's 1-for-5 today. Decidedly lower than .400.
LARRRRRRRRRRRRY

Nice K!

Craptastic pitch all the way to the bricks, Johnson to third. Ankiel style.
Almost did it again, Soto lunged and backhanded it.
Uh, dooooooooooood
CUBS BULLPEN

43 Michael Wuertz RHP (who just threw one “to the backstop” from the bullpen…all the way behind HP.)

3-0 count on Teixeira.
Cotts Wild Suddenly
keep it together Cotts
A strike would be nice.
Cotts

The bus is warming up for your ride to Des Moines

+1
- 2

DAMN ZERO ERA

Alright

I guess he can stay a little while longer.

he hasnt allowed an ER while back up.....
I think he'll be sticking around..
Walked him.
this does not bode will for neal's era
When did the Neal Era start?
why does it look like cotts is pitching around teixiera...

with mccann on deck?????

McCann Up

Always liked him in “Far Out Space Nuts”.

Lou: "Can I bring Marmol back in?"
re-entry was allowed in '48, right?
TWSS
Objection!....judges?
none from me, beat me to it
Yeah, that doesn't even make sense. How are there still people in the world if not? Reproduction obviously happened.
TWSAsked?
allowed in high school

but not for pitchers

K!!!!

got him out!

Blew. him. away.
McCann, facing an 0-2 count, STRIKES OUT SWINGING. Just threw it by him down the middle at 96mph. Foul tip. NICE!
Lets go!!

back to back!!

cotts K's McCann
LETS GO!!

GET SOME FREAKING RUNS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

at least 1 to start
Looks like McCann McCan't. Ooooooo no you di'int!
Bottom of the 9th. No time like the present boys!

Gameday Audio way behind TV???

Does Cotts still have to go back to DesMoines?

OK You Cubs

Let’s have some of them quality at bats, eh?

who's closing for the bravo's these days?
i guess it's 1-4 Blaine Boyer
Is Cotts the new Dempster

He did make it very interesting…

“I like the Austrian way better”
-Sean Connery in Indiana Jones

Blaine Boyer will stay in to start the 9th. Interesting.

BULLPEN
46 Acosta RHP
13 Ohman LHP

Soto takes ball one.
Foul ball, it's now 1-2.

TWO RUN HOMER, SOTO

I’ve got to calm down a little.

Soto takes an outside breaking pitch, 2-2.
Soto takes ball 3.
Soto akes a great ball 2

He is showing a great at bat

great AB's start at 7 pitches
and......

Cubs gotta have patience

CURSE YOU PAT HUGHES
Soto crushes one to deep left-centerfield, but it doesn't carry. Caught by the CF, 1 out.
Dero with 2 outs?
Anyone

I almost had some explaining to do to my wife as to why I had to go to the Hair Salon.

TOU HAVE TO BE KIDDING ME

My 'Edmonds, oh lord' was because I was DREADING him being up

Can I say WHOOPS?!?

DeRosa grounds 4-3, 2 out.
HoffPauer in to pinch.

NEW PITCHER

IN: 13 Will Ohman LHP

Oh-Man Coming In

I guess mute people still type, eh?
40 Foot Curveballs!
1 RUN GAMES

Braves have not won a one run game since August last year

(knocking on wood)
Can our hate for Edmonds finally be over?
our long national nightmare
I never hated him, it just didn't look like he had anything left.

Apparently he does. I guess he wanted the Padres to give up on him so he could come to Chicago. : )

not over but fading
Cardinals fan in the office just sent me a text.....LOL
I'm so excited

shouldn’t have had those chili dogs at lunch!!!

i enjoy will ohman coming in.

PINCH-HITTER

5 Ronny Cedeno (RH)

WILLIE OH MAN
Oh Man for a long one here...

I’ll start it for you….TW—

No she didn't
What the Cedeno is going on out there?
ONEDEC batting?
not yet
yeah. innings been done for a couple min.
Brilliant.

Time for thrilling heroics.

Shoulda Kept in Hoff!
In PHX airport, my flight was just delayed

and I have never been happier about being delayed!!

Lets get it done!

It's 1-2 on Ronny...
Will we start a 3rd overflow thread?

Nearly 500 in here ALREADY. Damn!

Cedeno or Onedec?
Strike 3 swinging. To the 10th!
Ronny Really Flailing Up There

of late, needs to stay within himself and cut down on that swing.

extra innings
into the 10th

Patterson will have a chance to show his quality again.

Heres where we miss Soriano

because he would be leading off the 10th

So true. That hurts.
Ronny

with a fresh forearm tat

what is it of?

does it say “ONEDEC”?

Wind

18 mph SSE

Back to Cedeno, he is.
edmonds better get quite an ovation

from the bums in CF.

gtg home

work can wait, but destiny won’t

I don't want to get in my car
This is pretty cool

I am watching the game via my slingbox on my cell phone…

are u from the future?
yes

i just arrived in my Delorean

Cedeno!

poop!

Does that mean we lost Hoffpauir for this game?
Not to add fuel to the fire..

but for those that think that Cedeno is a better hitting option than Theriot.. You’re crazy.. I’m still not convinced on this kid. Fielding wise yes he is much better, but i’ll take Theriots bat for sure.

Patterson ??

Lou is so smart. why play this patterson kid ?

Patterson Bros

Sure don’t like walking much, do they?

that was a mighty patterson swing we just saw!
HA HA HA HA!

That was awesome
