But you’ve got to like hoppy styles and most have a bit of coriander, as well. Try Duvel for the lighter style and Chimay Cinq Cents for the darker style. Both are great beers.
Most of that money they probably have to give to your mobile provider, who has to carry the extra traffic. With the Internet to your PC, MLB doesn’t have to share the revenue with anyone since it uses the public internet.
Dave Cronon, who later became dean of Letters & Science was my Ph.D. advisor. His son, Bill Cronon, is currently a member of History Dept. John Cooper, who is still with the Dept., was another prof. I worked closely with.
I know he’s on the DL, but how bad is the injury? more or less to make room for Ward coming back for Interleague or deserving of the DL? sorry if this was covered earlier, been a long week working and couldnt find any good updates
HRs will happen (ask Maddux). It is the walks that will kill Ted. I hope he can keep the walks down tonight. Hopefully we will keep scoring runs tonight!!
MOSTLY for his athletic ability. but a rookie catcher w/ those kinda of stats on both offense and defense…. he could prolly look like a gorilla and like him
because they’re teh equivelant of a 15 seed in the March Basketball Tourney making it to the final game. But since they’ll have won a best of 3 series I don’t buy an “upset” in that way.
I also don’t know enough about how diverse talent/resources are in college ball to know for sure…but like bigger than the Miracle on Ice or something? No way.
about it is the inconsistency. But Lilly is not getting anything high. He seems to like to throw high strikes. Too bad. He (Ted) is a big boy, he will adjust.

MiCubsFan - June 25, 2008
Yeah.
gary varsho - June 25, 2008
I love Imperial stouts! Brooklyn has one that is a double chocolate....
10.6% alchohol.. LOL Is good though….
MiCubsFan - June 25, 2008
That's a great beer, but
it is a bit strong. You into the Belgian beers? Chimay, Duvel, etc.
gary varsho - June 25, 2008
never had a belgian.... I hear a lot of good things about them over on BA
MiCubsFan - June 25, 2008
They can be really, really good.
But you’ve got to like hoppy styles and most have a bit of coriander, as well. Try Duvel for the lighter style and Chimay Cinq Cents for the darker style. Both are great beers.
gary varsho - June 25, 2008
doesn't chimay produce
a dark smoky barley wine?
tootle - June 25, 2008
I believe so, but it'd be hard to come by in the states.
gary varsho - June 25, 2008
if they did,
I’ve sampled a bottle. One of our local tavern’s special ordered a case. Worst hangover I ever had. Was a nice smoky flavor though.
tootle - June 25, 2008
I've had a couple nice smoked porters recently.....
MiCubsFan - June 25, 2008
As a scotch lover,
I am bullish on smoky beers
gary varsho - June 25, 2008
ah, nothing like a good scotch!!!!
MiCubsFan - June 25, 2008
'Tis true!
gary varsho - June 25, 2008
O'Fallon Smoked Porter
MiCubsFan - June 25, 2008
Thanks! I'll try and find it.
there’s a wine store we got to that stocks a few select beers that may have it.
gary varsho - June 25, 2008
arcadia scotch ale
is aged in old scotch barrels… give it a try
MiCubsFan - June 25, 2008
OMG.
That sounds awesome.
If you’re into IPA’s, try the Lagunitas. Outstanding.
gary varsho - June 25, 2008
it was awesome.....
I’ll give that a try also…..
MiCubsFan - June 25, 2008
if you want a great sweet stout
with a meal, try Mackeson’s
MiCubsFan - June 25, 2008
Oh, Lord.
My beer budget is growing by the moment.
gary varsho - June 25, 2008
LOL..... so much beer
so little time
MiCubsFan - June 25, 2008
Sad, but true.
gary varsho - June 25, 2008
yeah.... dogfish head
also has a chicory stout
MiCubsFan - June 25, 2008
my god...
that sounds absolutely wondermous
tootle - June 25, 2008
it was pretty good
MiCubsFan - June 25, 2008
I will drink anything
Dogfish Head brews. Their stuff is incredible.
gary varsho - June 25, 2008
darkhorse too cream stout is great,
their tres blueberry stout is unique, I usually don;t like such beers, but that one was good
MiCubsFan - June 25, 2008
The Dogfish Head
Raison D’Etre is wonderful.

halfblindcubbiegirl - June 25, 2008
yep every time
halfblindcubbiegirl - June 25, 2008
I've heard a lot of good things about
that one… adds it to my growing list
MiCubsFan - June 25, 2008
Chimay is always a rough hangover.
it’s a completely unfiltered ale, so it can be rough the next day!
gary varsho - June 25, 2008
yes it was.
Looking at Chimay’s website, it was a bottle of Chimay’s Grande Reserve
tootle - June 25, 2008
Yeah, that's the "low end" of their ales.
And it’s still pretty damn good. Try the Cinq Cents.
gary varsho - June 25, 2008
thanks! I always appreciate any good beer info....
Founder’s has a darn good brew called Dirty Bastard, nice scotch ale
MiCubsFan - June 25, 2008
Dirty Bastard is AWESOME beer.
slcathena - June 25, 2008
never had it...
but arrogant bastard… meh not so much
tootle - June 25, 2008
Rogue beers are overrated.
gary varsho - June 25, 2008
Haven't followed all of your comments..
but do you guys like Three Floyds? I’m always been partial to Robert The Bruce.
Bump Bailey - June 25, 2008
Three Floyds is solid.
Good stuff. I really like the Alpha King

Anyone listen to mlb radio on their mobile phone?
I just noticed that they charge you $4.99 per month even if you have a subscription on your pc? Seems like a ripoff…..
LT - June 25, 2008
Well
Most of that money they probably have to give to your mobile provider, who has to carry the extra traffic. With the Internet to your PC, MLB doesn’t have to share the revenue with anyone since it uses the public internet.
JohnM - June 25, 2008
Albers is out
1/3 inning. This bodes well for us

watchign MASN, orioles local channel on Comcast, they havent said anything yet
maddux1-27-07 - June 25, 2008
Tough break.
Never good to see a guy get hurt.
gary varsho - June 25, 2008
I got a question about catcher stats
Madison Cub Fan - June 25, 2008
yes?
Geo4MVP - June 25, 2008
I was looking @ Geo's stats. He is 2nd in NL
but I don’t understand what fielding percentage is exactly. he’s @ .996
Madison Cub Fan - June 25, 2008
It's depending on passed balls I believe
Passed balls is what cost the fielding percentage of the pitcher to decline.
Geo4MVP - June 25, 2008
Sorry, I mean catcher.
Geo4MVP - June 25, 2008
catcher stats...
have nothing to do with passed balls. Fielding percentage is putouts and assists divided by total chances (putouts, assists and errors)
Ross - June 25, 2008
ok... looking @ geo's stats
I see how then he is 2nd.
thanks
Madison Cub Fan - June 25, 2008
Wow
The SP and the spot starter both injured in the same game…
Geo4MVP - June 25, 2008

halfblindcubbiegirl - June 25, 2008
Yeah, that was Cedeno
malicedoom - June 25, 2008
lol
i meant as a pitcher to go 0-5, b/c it meant you pitched deep into a game and your offense did enough to get the 9 spot up 5 times
halfblindcubbiegirl - June 25, 2008
I know - but I couldn't resist. :)
malicedoom - June 25, 2008
i figured you did
but figured i’d type it out anyway in case anyone else was confused

I like anything better than HR ted
he’s a little frightening
halfblindcubbiegirl - June 25, 2008
RJ
I know he’s on the DL, but how bad is the injury? more or less to make room for Ward coming back for Interleague or deserving of the DL?
sorry if this was covered earlier, been a long week working and couldnt find any good updates
maddux1-27-07 - June 25, 2008
they're saying just muscle spasms
but since he has a history of back issues they DL’d him to not rush it and give the roster spot back
halfblindcubbiegirl - June 25, 2008
His back is just stiff
but the stupidity that led him to bunt with 2 outs in the ninth and subsequently, and unnecessarily run into the fist baseman will never heal.

carmen_fanzone - June 25, 2008
that works too
:-)
halfblindcubbiegirl - June 25, 2008
Wow - EPat CAUGHT it???
Sorry. I’ll be quiet.
malicedoom - June 25, 2008

gary varsho - June 25, 2008
LOL - I agree

malicedoom - June 25, 2008
You and I might be the only one's here who have placed ourselves in the penalty box!
gary varsho - June 25, 2008
oh my.... 4-2
MiCubsFan - June 25, 2008
GODDAMNIT
malicedoom - June 25, 2008
POOP!!
sue369 - June 25, 2008
Payton jacks a homer...damn it
carmen_fanzone - June 25, 2008
Ted, you're only supposed to do that with the bases empty...
LT - June 25, 2008
sad...
MinnesotaFan - June 25, 2008
Fast ball donw the middle of the plate
Man. Dang it Ted.
halfblindcubbiegirl - June 25, 2008
NO MORE WALKS, please
malicedoom - June 25, 2008
+1, stick with it lilly, hopefully thats all the early inning runs gives up
maddux1-27-07 - June 25, 2008
he* gives up
maddux1-27-07 - June 25, 2008
exactly.
HRs will happen (ask Maddux). It is the walks that will kill Ted. I hope he can keep the walks down tonight. Hopefully we will keep scoring runs tonight!!
LAcarl519 - June 25, 2008
Nice catch DeRo...inning over
carmen_fanzone - June 25, 2008
TBat is whipping Fla 11-0... whoa!!
MinnesotaFan - June 25, 2008
Now it's 13-0...
MinnesotaFan - June 25, 2008
Lets get those 2 back!
halfblindcubbiegirl - June 25, 2008
my apologies to the z punchers.....
didn’t realize….
MiCubsFan - June 25, 2008
nah, you're fine
:-)
halfblindcubbiegirl - June 25, 2008
Epat 4-3, 1 out
carmen_fanzone - June 25, 2008
Come on Theriot.... lets get a base hit......
MinnesotaFan - June 25, 2008
base hit theriot
MiCubsFan - June 25, 2008
4 runs isnt going to win this game I don't think
Madison Cub Fan - June 25, 2008
Riot with a patented base hit to right....
carmen_fanzone - June 25, 2008
30th multi-hit game this year
carmen_fanzone - June 25, 2008
carmen like you tag line so true
Madison Cub Fan - June 25, 2008
gotta love the riot
always getting on base
SouthsideCUBSfan - June 25, 2008
What are the flags doing?
Wind in, out, sideways?
halfblindcubbiegirl - June 25, 2008
out I heard earlier
MiCubsFan - June 25, 2008
thanks
halfblindcubbiegirl - June 25, 2008
theriot to 2nd on wp
MiCubsFan - June 25, 2008
gets to 2nd on wild pitch!
maddux1-27-07 - June 25, 2008
Stop walking guys and giving up two-run homers!
Mapmaker - June 25, 2008
Dude. Chill. The wind is blowing out, as long as we have more of those than they do
We’re fine. Enjoy the lead. :)
slcathena - June 25, 2008
Hey all...looks like I missed some fun (stupid traffic!)
Nice shot by Riot there to start the 2nd though. :)
slcathena - June 25, 2008
Hi!
welcome to the party.
halfblindcubbiegirl - June 25, 2008
Thanks. :)
Would have liked to have been here to fourth that “Geo is a stud” line earlier though. :P
slcathena - June 25, 2008
next time :)
Madison Cub Fan - June 25, 2008
Hopefully his next at bat.
sue369 - June 25, 2008

come on aramis
MiCubsFan - June 25, 2008
DLee with the walk
carmen_fanzone - June 25, 2008
So far we have had 12 guys come to the plate
and EPat has made 50% of the outs.
EPat continues to have an impact on the games he appears in.
Corey, Jr? I hope not.
LAcarl519 - June 25, 2008
Good call
chilango2 - June 25, 2008
Jeez....how 'bout focusing on some positives?
carmen_fanzone - June 25, 2008
look if that keeps up
he will bat 13 -14 times and we will score 35-40 runs.
How is that for being positive. Look at the glass as half full!!
LAcarl519 - June 25, 2008
much better
carmen_fanzone - June 25, 2008
I just thought that was an amazing stat.
Obviously we have a lot of guys on base so far.
LAcarl519 - June 25, 2008
well alright
SouthsideCUBSfan - June 25, 2008
whooo
love workin from home. . . cubs in HD and ARam up with two on. . . and the wind blowing out. . .
noiseboy - June 25, 2008
TB put up TEN RUNS in the 5th against FLA
14-0
malicedoom - June 25, 2008
yea they are pretty good
SouthsideCUBSfan - June 25, 2008

MiCubsFan - June 25, 2008
basehit... bases juiced
MiCubsFan - June 25, 2008
WHOO-HOO!
Let’s get ‘em back!
malicedoom - June 25, 2008
never thought i'd be excited to see JEdmonds
hit.
halfblindcubbiegirl - June 25, 2008
Aram singles
maddux1-27-07 - June 25, 2008
Rami base hit, bases jacked for Edmonds
carmen_fanzone - June 25, 2008
come on Jimmy!!!!!
MiCubsFan - June 25, 2008
Curious...
But does it seem like we’re walking more lately anyone got the stats for say the last 4 weeks on that?
slcathena - June 25, 2008
Been that way all year.
gary varsho - June 25, 2008
Seems like we stopped taking them that much for a stint there though
at least based on the pace counter to the side.
slcathena - June 25, 2008
geo has the 3rd most walks on the team w/35
(I noticed it as I was looking up his stats a little while ago)
Madison Cub Fan - June 25, 2008
2nd inning in a row with bases jacked and no outs
gary varsho - June 25, 2008
one out. mea culpa.
gary varsho - June 25, 2008
one out
btw ;)
noiseboy - June 25, 2008
lets do it edmonds
SouthsideCUBSfan - June 25, 2008
2-0
malicedoom - June 25, 2008
Fresno St leads 6-0
for those interested in the College World Series. Top 6.
halfblindcubbiegirl - June 25, 2008
awesome, go Fresno
maddux1-27-07 - June 25, 2008
2-1
malicedoom - June 25, 2008
ground out, but one run, force at 2nd
MiCubsFan - June 25, 2008
Fielder's choice, 1 run in
carmen_fanzone - June 25, 2008
It kills me just listening to the game
Pat makes it so intense with every call
SouthsideCUBSfan - June 25, 2008
Pat is calm compared to Ronnie normally.
Madison Cub Fan - June 25, 2008
Idunno man
I can’t imagine anyone else doing a better job on GN.
chilango2 - June 25, 2008
I love listening to them
Madison Cub Fan - June 25, 2008
I love em too but...
Pat does get a little too excited sometimes on long flyballs and foul balls. But I love his HR calls. No one does it better IMO.
Bump Bailey - June 25, 2008
Sweet!
malicedoom - June 25, 2008
RBI
we’ll take it
noiseboy - June 25, 2008
5-2 cubs
MiCubsFan - June 25, 2008
make that 6-2, way to go Soto
MiCubsFan - June 25, 2008
Soto is a stud!
LT - June 25, 2008
6-2
LT - June 25, 2008
Yes, yes he is.
sue369 - June 25, 2008
I mean as a baseball player
is that what you girls mean??
LT - June 25, 2008
maybe :P
sue369 - June 25, 2008
hee hee.
slcathena - June 25, 2008
He's my favorite cub
MOSTLY for his athletic ability. but a rookie catcher w/ those kinda of stats on both offense and defense…. he could prolly look like a gorilla and like him
Madison Cub Fan - June 25, 2008
Yep.
He’s something special. I love it.
slcathena - June 25, 2008
I second that
Madison Cub Fan - June 25, 2008
Thirded. :D
slcathena - June 25, 2008
actually you're 4th.
i already thirded. lol
halfblindcubbiegirl - June 25, 2008
Fourth is fine.
My comp is postong slowly again. :P I just wanted in on the affirmation of the awesomeness of Geo. :P
slcathena - June 25, 2008
I third that
gotta love him!
halfblindcubbiegirl - June 25, 2008
Soto base hit...6-2
carmen_fanzone - June 25, 2008
WHEEEEEE
slcathena - June 25, 2008
6-2
Bump Bailey - June 25, 2008
I'll take it.
gary varsho - June 25, 2008
6-2!!1 GEO!
maddux1-27-07 - June 25, 2008
and that insurance run
is brought to you by Geico
SouthsideCUBSfan - June 25, 2008
4 run lead is better than 2 run lead
MinnesotaFan - June 25, 2008
come on De Ro
MiCubsFan - June 25, 2008
Geo just keeps hitting.
gary varsho - June 25, 2008
Out of his slump
I hope.
Bump Bailey - June 25, 2008
He's going to be such a star.
I know it.
slcathena - June 25, 2008
totally
did you read that article on him last sunday
Madison Cub Fan - June 25, 2008
I did. Did
you get to see him in Sports Ill.?
sue369 - June 25, 2008
The Reader was
the one I saw.
sue369 - June 25, 2008
No!!!! Which paper?
slcathena - June 25, 2008
The Reader had a good article on him too.
Bump Bailey - June 25, 2008
Gah!
Links please!!! :P
slcathena - June 25, 2008
that was a really good one
http://www.chicagoreader.com/features/stories/soto/
halfblindcubbiegirl - June 25, 2008
Excellent! Thanks for the links. :)
slcathena - June 25, 2008
the reader article was awesome. I had a buddy of mine print it for me
giggle
Sports Illustrated??? no wasnt aware when?
Madison Cub Fan - June 25, 2008
Maybe last
week or the week before.
sue369 - June 25, 2008
ugh I didnt know that
Madison Cub Fan - June 25, 2008
Will check after the game. Thanks!
slcathena - June 25, 2008
DeRo due to go yard
hasn’t it been a while?
LAcarl519 - June 25, 2008
since the Dodgers, i'd say thats due, maybe
maddux1-27-07 - June 25, 2008
Got those 2 runs back....cool
carmen_fanzone - June 25, 2008
once again
cubs score 6 at home. . . crazy
noiseboy - June 25, 2008
I guess the scoreboard guys are telling the batters to take more pitches
and get walks…
LT - June 25, 2008
3-1 on De Ro
MiCubsFan - June 25, 2008
De Ro BB
MiCubsFan - June 25, 2008
come on Fontenot... bases juiced
MiCubsFan - June 25, 2008
Come on Hamster!!!!
carmen_fanzone - June 25, 2008
Cromier's average outing is 1.5 innings
he might be gassed already
LAcarl519 - June 25, 2008
shoot.. inning over
MiCubsFan - June 25, 2008
good inning
sue369 - June 25, 2008

maddux1-27-07 - June 25, 2008
Nope - Damn!
malicedoom - June 25, 2008
come on Fontenot.... bases juiced.
and one of my best friends is there at Wrigley on a birthday suprise trip…. first time there for her and i bet it won’t be the last…....
MinnesotaFan - June 25, 2008
Hope she gets to see a win.
sue369 - June 25, 2008
Wonder Hamster not interested in hitting.
gary varsho - June 25, 2008
Fonty, Fonty, Fonty....
carmen_fanzone - June 25, 2008
Fote - NOT...oh well, 4 run lead is back thanks to Geo!
Danged Directv and the whole rain interfering with the signal…come on guys, this is the 21st century!!!
razzpunk - June 25, 2008
what are the chances
of any moves being made, or since Dome is day-to-day, Johnson out, etc the bench will all stay??
noiseboy - June 25, 2008
Slim, IMO.
Patterson and Ward were the moves.
gary varsho - June 25, 2008
Uh....what happened to Fuku???
razzpunk - June 25, 2008
tightness
in legs
noiseboy - June 25, 2008
GREAT!!!! WTF!!! Why is the injury bug biting us so hard suddenly???
razzpunk - June 25, 2008
it had to happen
this is the test of a great team, keeping it together. . .
noiseboy - June 25, 2008
tightness in calf , day to day i think
maddux1-27-07 - June 25, 2008
calf tightness
according to Bruce Miles
halfblindcubbiegirl - June 25, 2008
tightness in leg
MiCubsFan - June 25, 2008
Tight hammy, I believe
Avail to pitch-hit maybe
malicedoom - June 25, 2008
Just a little tightness in the calf.
gary varsho - June 25, 2008
hopefully no pinch hit if this scoring keeps up, rest him as much as possible! should be back by weekend
maddux1-27-07 - June 25, 2008
K!!!!
MiCubsFan - June 25, 2008
K for lilly
maddux1-27-07 - June 25, 2008
Fonty. what happened
with his AB?
halfblindcubbiegirl - June 25, 2008
weak groundout to short
carmen_fanzone - June 25, 2008
thanks
gameday and firefox both froze on me.
halfblindcubbiegirl - June 25, 2008
Blech happened.
gary varsho - June 25, 2008
Ted with the K
carmen_fanzone - June 25, 2008
K!
malicedoom - June 25, 2008
Yesterday's game
I think we’ll benefit tonight, and tomorrow as well, by the O’s having had to go to their pen last night when it at first looked like blowout.
sweetswinger - June 25, 2008
+1
Exactly. They’ll be forced to enjoy the taste of bullpen stew as we’ve been forced to on many occasions this year.
Goodie1969 - June 25, 2008

MiCubsFan - June 25, 2008
raining in detroit
Madison Cub Fan - June 25, 2008
look likes i've missed a pretty good game
lilly gives up another hr but not bad so far
Chanman25 - June 25, 2008
we've hit the ball well, been patient at the plate...
carmen_fanzone - June 25, 2008
I hate Brian Roberts.
gary varsho - June 25, 2008
he is getting to be a pain in the @##$
MiCubsFan - June 25, 2008
Royally.
gary varsho - June 25, 2008
he showed some pretty impressive
range on DLee’s single. The guy does have game.
But I will be happy to see him leave town.
LAcarl519 - June 25, 2008
LOL
what was everyone calling him when trade rumors were flying??
noiseboy - June 25, 2008
TPWSNBN
gary varsho - June 25, 2008
I hate him too.
But I wouldn’t mind having him on my team.
Bump Bailey - June 25, 2008
yeah, if he was hittin like that for the cubs I'd be cheering him on
MiCubsFan - June 25, 2008
It may be time to buzz him
He’s way too comfortable
Mapmaker - June 25, 2008
Ted doesn't play that game.
gary varsho - June 25, 2008
just ask
renteria
BradB311 - June 25, 2008
and every time he's even thought about he's gotten tossed
by a mind reading umpire
halfblindcubbiegirl - June 25, 2008
Did you see the ump last night...
bump into Jerry Manuel? What a tool.
Bump Bailey - June 25, 2008
Rungie
is a jerk
halfblindcubbiegirl - June 25, 2008
That was disgraceful. MLB should suspend Runge.
gary varsho - June 25, 2008
+1
Manuel and Beltran both seem like laid back type. Runge totally baited them.
Bump Bailey - June 25, 2008
+1 again
That was totally ridiculous. Abuse of power, and the game isn’t about him. It was crap.
slcathena - June 25, 2008
full count.. come on Lilly get him
MiCubsFan - June 25, 2008
BB.....
MiCubsFan - June 25, 2008
get the Dp......
MiCubsFan - June 25, 2008
Another walk, 2 on, 1 out
carmen_fanzone - June 25, 2008
Attention Mr. Lilly...stop messing around here and get BULLDOGGY!!!!
razzpunk - June 25, 2008
still 6-0 Fresno
Top 7, 2 outs
halfblindcubbiegirl - June 25, 2008
Wow. cool.
Although I disagree with the radio dude this morning who was saying if they won it would be the “biggest upset in sports history”
slcathena - June 25, 2008
well it would be a huge upset in terms of seeding
because they’re teh equivelant of a 15 seed in the March Basketball Tourney making it to the final game. But since they’ll have won a best of 3 series I don’t buy an “upset” in that way.
halfblindcubbiegirl - June 25, 2008
Sure. I agree with that.
I also don’t know enough about how diverse talent/resources are in college ball to know for sure…but like bigger than the Miracle on Ice or something? No way.
slcathena - June 25, 2008
Lowest seed in NCAA history to win a championship
in any sport. Some women’s softball team was a low seed too, but they were years ago.
halfblindcubbiegirl - June 25, 2008
Course theirs still a lot of game left
only Bot 7
halfblindcubbiegirl - June 25, 2008
True,
IIRC, Georgia came back in the bottom of the 8th game one (a friend of mine relayed it to me)
slcathena - June 25, 2008
44 pitches already for Lillly
MinnesotaFan - June 25, 2008
This is a tough ump for Lilly
He can’t get the high strike and he can’t get the inside corner on the lefties.
LAcarl519 - June 25, 2008
his zone is odd....
gary varsho - June 25, 2008
the only thing consistent
about it is the inconsistency. But Lilly is not getting anything high. He seems to like to throw high strikes. Too bad. He (Ted) is a big boy, he will adjust.
LAcarl519 - June 25, 2008
None of the three "strikes"
he called on Fontenot’s 1st AB were strikes, according to Gameday.
DeRoMyHero - June 25, 2008
1-1 on mora
MiCubsFan - June 25, 2008
1-2
maddux1-27-07 - June 25, 2008
Am I the only one
who is wondering why Markasis is batting 2nd instead of 3rd and Mora is in the middle of the order?
DeRoMyHero - June 25, 2008
pop fly to fontenot 2 out
MiCubsFan - June 25, 2008
Pop up to Fonty
maddux1-27-07 - June 25, 2008
This thread is becoming uselessly slow.
When does the overflow post?
gary varsho - June 25, 2008
soon. 8:15 i think
halfblindcubbiegirl - June 25, 2008
Gotta be careful with Huff
carmen_fanzone - June 25, 2008
Good job, Fonty!
Let’s get that last one without them scoring.
slcathena - June 25, 2008

Does anyone know why he got taken out?
