the funny thing is i was lookin for an “oh yeah” image to follow up the “BOOYAH” comment a little farther up… then Reed got thrown out, and this caught my eye…
and use IYKWIM., from “Whose Line Is It Anyway?”. e.g., “I went to the ol’ resin bag, IYKWIM” (If You Know What I Mean). Sorry, nothing else to do during this slugfest…

gary varsho - June 17, 2008
and now Cotts ensures his bet in Vegas pays off
californiachicagoan - June 17, 2008
a rightie who hits .173 against LH pitching
Donbedouin - June 17, 2008
No he hasnt
He has hit lefties all thru his career. 52 MLB ABs, not withstanding. If you go reverse all convention based on just 52 ABs you are gonna lose.
californiachicagoan - June 17, 2008
in scoring position and he tries for third.. what was he thinking?

He wasn't.

Cotts is still in

COTTS!!!!!

2B Iwamura hits it off Cotts' leg, Cotts throws it into the right-field bullpen. Iwamura goes all the way to third with nobody out.

You wait for your pitch and when it comes you drive it.

Al,
Are Toronto fans into it at all? What was the feeling you got in the stands?
kentmeister - June 17, 2008
Pretty quiet, actually.
That’s what I’ve experienced the other times I’ve been in Toronto. They seemed more interested in the wave than the game.
Al Yellon - June 17, 2008
if Lou brings in Eyre for Longoria
I may puke
californiachicagoan - June 17, 2008

MiCubsFan - June 17, 2008
Yep.
That’s what I was just thinking.
slcathena - June 17, 2008
Exactly
The pen is overrated.
Geo4MVP - June 17, 2008
and it's not living up to it's billing as "mightier than the sword."
santoswoodenlegs - June 17, 2008
PRECISELY.

Frak it.

besides Wood and Marmol.
Geo4MVP - June 17, 2008
SCREW THE LEFT-HANDED POWER BAT
WE NEED SOMEONE OTHER THAN MARMOL WHO CAN GET BATTERS OUT.
Sorry to shout. But I needed to vent.

32 Lieber RHP
northsider - June 17, 2008
At least he's resisting to use Marmol
And most of the guys complain why use Marmol? This is why he uses Marmol! The pen is very inconsistent.
Geo4MVP - June 17, 2008
Yeah, but why not use Marmol NOW...
...and not in 7-1 blowouts?
cwyers - June 17, 2008
He doesn't do it always
Majority of the time I see him use in close games.
Geo4MVP - June 17, 2008
True.
But Lieber should have pitched Sunday, and Marmol today.
Al Yellon - June 17, 2008
Ooh! Ooh! I have an idea!
Let’s try to make it hard for them to score.
cocknfire - June 17, 2008
Cocknfire...is your name a Spurrier reference?
VolPowers - June 17, 2008
Yeah
When he came to South Carolina, he called his offense “Cock ‘n’ Fire”
Unfortunately, it’s been all “Cock” and no “Fire”
cocknfire - June 17, 2008
Two SEC guys in a Cubbies chat room...go figure...
VolPowers - June 17, 2008
War Eagle to both of you

Auburn was actually the first team I rooted for
In a family full of Bama fans. Go figure.

Sorry to hear about the bammers
but go cocks when they don’t play Auburn
LT - June 17, 2008
Yeah. And I know how to pick all the winners, don't I?
I am a S.C. alum, though, so I don’t have much of a choice.
cocknfire - June 17, 2008
Your qb's done getting arrested?
VolPowers - June 17, 2008
Stephen Garcia is never done getting arrested
He was determined to set a record his freshman year at South Carolina

I am sick of being schooled by the ragarm bullpen of Tampa Bay. This team i winning on smoke and mirrors and the Cub should be stomping them silly.
gary varsho - June 17, 2008
Not gonna happen tonight my friend...
VolPowers - June 17, 2008
Umm..
Then leave this thread.
Fukumania - June 17, 2008
Ummm....that was unnecessary...
VolPowers - June 17, 2008
Negativity not needed!
Rally time!
Fukumania - June 17, 2008
I'll be happy to be proven wrong...that positive enough for you?
VolPowers - June 17, 2008
This is an environment of welcoming...
northsider - June 17, 2008
It is?
Oh.
I’ll go practice that, then. Welcoming… welcoming… think I can pull that off.
cwyers - June 17, 2008
Ok.
Ryan Theriot walks into your bar. What do you do? :D
drewishdrewid - June 17, 2008
Slide the beer down the bar so that he has to dive for it...he'll make the play
VolPowers - June 17, 2008
Move to the left side of the bar.
He never hits that way.
gary varsho - June 17, 2008
very nice
drewishdrewid - June 17, 2008
Dive pointlessly at a baseball...
...so that he doesn’t feel like he stands out!

hee-hee!
drewishdrewid - June 17, 2008
If we all left when the Cubs were hopeless
There’d be none of us left
cocknfire - June 17, 2008
And we'd be missing this awesome year.
Cubs fans don’t give up!
slcathena - June 17, 2008
3B Ramirez strikes out swinging on a 79 mph curve. 1-2-3 go the Cubs. TB 3 CHC 1 Bot 8

Crap.
Well, there’s still the 9th.
Pitching has been OK today… just no offense.
Al Yellon - June 17, 2008
This is Marmol time.
Followed by some bats. Followed by Wood. It has to be. Come on Cubbies, just wake up for the last little bit.
slcathena - June 17, 2008
Okay, I have a TB hat I bought as a souvenir when I went to Trop earlier
I am now turning it upside down. Superstitious? Yes. But it’s all we got left.
cocknfire - June 17, 2008
you waited till now? :D
drewishdrewid - June 17, 2008
I actually intended to do it at the beginning of the night
And forgot, sad to say. So blame this mess on me.
cocknfire - June 17, 2008
You are hereby blamed.
And if the Cubs do come back, you will be given credit!
Al Yellon - June 17, 2008
It's OK
I’m not angry at the Cubs for struggling tonight. They are going against the 3rd best in the majors.
Geo4MVP - June 17, 2008
Yeah, and their travel schedule over the last couple of days sucked
But we can still do it, we just need one good inning.
slcathena - June 17, 2008
It's possible
Their closer is Troy Percival. I know he has been solid htis year, but he is beatable.
Geo4MVP - June 17, 2008
True.
If they do lose this one, at least it was to their best pitcher. Still two games left in this series.
Al Yellon - June 17, 2008
I was going to ask about that
I mean, this guy is their ace, right?
drewishdrewid - June 17, 2008
yes
Some may argue Shields is, but I say its Kazmir.
Geo4MVP - June 17, 2008
so, we win tonight
and light them up tomorrow too!
drewishdrewid - June 17, 2008
I say we all burn a cotts jersey on a pile of corn....
might reverse his efforts….
MiCubsFan - June 17, 2008
what if the corn
pops?
drewishdrewid - June 17, 2008
perhaps it gives some pop to the bats?
MiCubsFan - June 17, 2008
I say call up Ascanio
Give him a second shot. Then, look for a RP down midseason. I have a feeling the Cubs are going to need a setup man.
Geo4MVP - June 17, 2008
And a middle reliever and a long reliever and a left-handed specialist and...
cocknfire - June 17, 2008
no
I think eyre is not a bad option. Lieber is decent. Middle reliever…let Howry become the middle reliever…for now.
Geo4MVP - June 17, 2008
Ascanio...
... is back in the DR due to a family problem. It’ll have to be someone else.
Al Yellon - June 17, 2008
What's Sean Marshal's
status? He off the DL?
drewishdrewid - June 17, 2008
hes a bad relief pitcher IMO
He’s meant to start. A perfect number 4 pitcher.
Geo4MVP - June 17, 2008
bringing him up
means we could put, um… Marquis in the pen? :D
drewishdrewid - June 17, 2008

JPetey - June 17, 2008

Al Yellon - June 17, 2008

drewishdrewid - June 17, 2008
Yeah, I know.
It’d be hard to find me in downtown Cleveland, too.
Al Yellon - June 17, 2008

What an unfortunate photo.
northsider - June 17, 2008
Umm, isnt that what he always looks like?
californiachicagoan - June 17, 2008

drewishdrewid - June 17, 2008
He really looks unhappy.
He’d have been happy if he’d just have accepted the Howry Cow shirt.
Al Yellon - June 17, 2008
That's like a mug shot in a baseball uniform
slcathena - June 17, 2008
that was my first thought
MiCubsFan - June 17, 2008
SS Bartlett steals 3rd, Blanco drops it while trying to throw. Runner at 3rd.
northsider - June 17, 2008
sigh.
not our night, apparently.
Al Yellon - June 17, 2008

The Rays are not really dominating on offense.
Geo4MVP - June 17, 2008

MiCubsFan - June 17, 2008

cocknfire - June 17, 2008

slcathena - June 17, 2008
Time for new thread. This one's sloooooooooowwwwwwwww
gary varsho - June 17, 2008

We need you RIGHT now. Return to midseason vintage Howry!
Geo4MVP - June 17, 2008
