I'm up ... I'm awake ..

question is .. are the Cubs??

not looking good

thanks for banning amphetamines MLB.

I keed

come on Scott
the youth of the rotation have displayed their limitations
Loney

looks like a dweeb in his gameday picture.

Gallagher looks ridiculous in his
cool dude though

I’ve met him a few times

thats cool!

he just has a dweeby look about his grin.

12:50 over here in Bloomington,IN

Awake till the end

More faux Larry King
There is nothing more pleasurable than spreading butter all over your chest and watching TV

and later

I forgot to refrigerate the butter
The brown bananas taste very, very different
"Are you famous? If so, I love you!"

LOL

Has Scottie's beard gotten ridiculously long

or have I just not seen him in a while

remember he's hot off DL
Lou apparently hides him in a duffle bag in the clubhouse.
all he needs now

is some bullpen glasses

come on Scott .. HOLD EM
He's gonna get the strike out! I feel it!
keep em coming Scott
made mr. loney look foolish there
And Lou leaves Eyre in for a second batter!
shocking!
That slider has a ridiculous amount of sideways movement
leave him in Loe, no its Wuerz in the Pen!
as if the glacial pace of the game wasn't enough ..
That a way Len

a lot of big late innings tonight!

whats up?

lots of comebacks?

what a swing!
scott

freaking eyre

Scott Eyre =

get me some of that hair, and show D Lee how to grow it!
heh heh heh heh heh heh heh
Great job Scott!!!!!

Now let’s get some damn runs.

it's time, Cub Nation

its time for the CC’s to get bizzy

wika-wika

(scratches turntables)

Nice to see the return of

stevie ire.

We'll win this one for Sparta!
who's due up to bat?
Ed, DeRo, and Blanco, I think.
Pat Hughes mentioned on the radio that the LA doesnt have

much power, since they are missing players like Nomar G. Since when is Nomar considered a power hitter. Thank god the cubs got rid of him!

time for an EXPLOSION, CUBS!

that wake you up?

let's go Cubbies .. clap clap clapclapclap ...

let’s go Cubbies .. clap clap clapclapclap …

Edmonds lookin

real bad right there

god, there all in a slump it seems!
at least with z going tomorrow, you have to hope it wont be a long slump.
baserunners would be super nice...
let's go Cubbies .. clap clap clapclapclap ...
dangit
I'm sure they are .. it's been a long grind
Cubs look tired
I know I am.

It’s been a long week of late nights.

come on Handkerchief White
do forearm tats make you

an instant bad ass?

they sure help.
Too much LA Ink
you must be kidding, Lou throw the towel already and let everyone get a good nights sleep.

St. louis and Milwaukee lost anyway so it doesnt really matter

They have been behind in the count

all night. Not going to win too many games that way

you mean ahead in the count?
i misread

thought you said they have Not been behind. Whoo, im tired too.

They = Cubs Hitters..
its called throwing strikes and Lou wishes our pitchers would do more of that...walks 0!
101 pitches until now
think he gets another inning?

gotta wonder with the way we tee’d off on saito last night..

i would think so bc he's only getting stronger

and you called it on saito.

The rotation issues are clearly showing tonight ..

we got nickel and dimed by nibbling on Gallegher and Hart .. the thread on the Cubs rotation earlier today was, I think, one of the best on BCB this season.

I think the lack of hitting might have been a wee bit more to do with tonight
but you still need to produce some runs. nobody can win with 0!
News flash

Cubs pitchers gave up three runs. That isn’t bad.

And other tems are allowed to have good pitching, too.

true .. but ..

we didn’t respond .. and Hart showed why he shouldn’t have started in the AZ series

Maybe the Cubs couldn't respond

because the Dodgers pitcher was too good. Remember, he stifled the Cubs last week, too.

thanks for that
Are other teams allowed to have hamsters, too?
It's the hampster!
Don't worry everyone, Fontenot is in. This game's pretty much won.
I heard he is not available, he went shopping in LA for platform shoes
cant wait for the post game news conference with Lou. He will be agressive!
Lou hasn't had postgame pressers this road trip, so far as I can tell.
ferally jealous here .. of everyone who casts Comcast

that would be on 24/7 in the house .. if only the house was back home in Chicago

has Lieber lost some weight ?
idea

Sidney Ponson was DFA’d by Texas because of being disrespectful to teammates and I know I might take some heat but he’s been pretty good this year….

4-1 3.88 ERA

This could be a potential low risk high reward move

I don't think disrespectful covers it.
what exactly happened?
Nobody knows for sure.

And in unrelated news, Michael Young is on the bench with an injured hand.

heh.
Only if we can then flip him and Hart for Harden.
don't know why you'd bring clubhouse cancer onto a team with the best record in baseball
amen

hard to root for a guy like that

if he's on a winning team mayb e his attitude will change
why chance it?
if he's a problem, just let him go
the guy's

a menace

He wouldnt dare be a cancer in a clubhouse policed by

Z-zilla

and as fun as z punching out barret

we’re better this year… lets not chance that one! :-)

Really?

We’re not talking about a guy that’s in his early 20s. We’re talking about washed-up veteran Sidney Ponson. If he hasn’t changed by now, he’s not going to change.

Fonty gets the ball!
What did he do with it?
He tried to turn the double play

with no one on. Good thought with this umpiring crew

He wasn't assuming the catch was called.

Sorta like how catchers throw to first on a dropped third strike.

Yeah but

he had a 50/50 shot the umps would have awarded two outs anyways

Caught it and threw to first!

Trying to get the same guy out twice. Now that5’s scrappy!

he ate it

hampster food

i'm gonna go ahead and say it

you don’t have much of a future as a play by play commentator

well .. the justification for our presence is at hand

The moment of truth.

The watershed moment.

The nexus point.

The final frontier.

The last three outs that must be repelled

is that poetic enough
how many pitches between fontenot, soriano and theriot. My guess 6!
9

3 straight swinging Ks

I know…i’m a hater…

Soriano gets us to the "over"
wow, but he looked bad there
Thanks for stopping by, Fontenot.

When I’m down to my last 3 outs, I know that one of those has GOTTA be Fontenot.

Yeah, he's a keeper.
Brenly

offering excuses

I don't think they're excuses

Kuroda has been excellent tonight. Can’t do much about that.

why not?

this is the big leagues.

Yeah, and Kuroda

is a big-league pitcher. A pretty good one at that.

Other teams are allowed to be good sometimes, too.

thank you

Len Kasper

I know, it's disappointing

to not go 162-0, but we’ll just have to manage.

Yep, can't win them all.
When you lose like that

it doesn’t bother me. Just got beat by a better team tonight.

The games where junk pitchers kill you, or you lose because you screw up on the bases or in the field … those stink.

a better team huh?
tonight they were
Cubs were just flat. D, O,

pitching escaped from some jams, but walked too many.

Get a good night sleep, and lets get revenge tomorrow. Z will have the music pumping in the club house.

Everybody slumps.

Sometimes everybody slumps at the same time, and you get a night like tonight. We’ve still got the best record in the NL, don’t we?

they've been

spoiling me. DAMN IT!

I don't like being shut out.
domination station from kuroda tonight

that’s it and that’s all… hopefully

95mph, 94mph. Kuroda is DEALING here in the 9th.
maybe he'll hit a batter...
Its theriot

the rally starter

he had 74 complete games in japan! 14 shutouts!
Ugh. I hate ending the game on called third strike.

Kuroda was amazing tonight.

We'll get em tomorrow.

Kuroda pitched a great game.

Well that blew all around.

We’ll get ‘em tomorrow

kuroda

CG, 4 h, 11 k, 0 bb

NICE line.

Just tip your hat and move on, I guess.

This is his best outing

Just congrats for Kuroda, sorry for Dome.

that really was the most animated I've seen Dome all year

when the call got blown by the ump

75th complete game

tip your cap – THATS a pitcher

not bad for someone not named Harden
well lemme be the first to emote

Lets get the next two!
be happy with a split
junk

let’s turn it around quick and get em tomorrow. finally, a day game!

Hopefully Soto will be ok to play
It's DLee I'm worried about .. I hope he get it going ASAP
Well

The next two games don’t get any easier…Lowe and Penny next on the Docket. Hopefully Z has it tomorrow and the bats come alive for Sunday

most honorable sir ..

have to give it where its due .. Kuroda owned us

well, ill be erasing this one off the videotape
already off the dvr
Gotta respect that

He was untouchable tonight. That was a hell of a pitching performance. Tip the cap. Move on. Z vs. Lowe should be a good one tomorrow

/minor chord

go Cubs go
go Cubs go
hey Chicago whaddya say
the Cubs will win on Saturday

go Cubs go
go Cubs go
hey Chicago whaddya say
the Cubs will win on Saturday

nice .. i got the jaw harp

anyone got the washboard?

I said minor chord, not back porch!
dude .. minor chords are what America sings

haha, good point.
2 LOB

Why did i stay up and watch this….

Because you're a fan.

And because we’re having one hell of a season, and every night there’s a chance for something special to happen. If you were a Pirates fan you’d be in bed right now. And I’d rather be a Cubs fan right now than a fan of any other team.

God

You win.

Goodnight and very well said. :p

Amen brother

it just sucks when you can’t watch every game. You finally get to watch and you get to watch a game like tonight. Like I said earlier, this group has spoiled me. 1st shutout of the year?

3rd?

2nd.

Washington once… Cincinatti once and now here… so 3.

Right...

I remember the Nats doing it….and someone else..

What hurts

Is that two of their runs scored on an infield chopper over watermelon smasher’s head and a squeeze play.

and that if Dome had been called safe, it could've gone the other way

that call sucked alot of the air out of our dugout.

still have to score moreth than 0 to win
Believe me

Would have been a different game if the ump didn’t blow the Kosuke call on 1st base.

fully agreed .. but we got to see Kemp tossed

that was cool

that dingbat ump at first needs his eyeglass prescription checked
home plate wasnt much better
100 games left!

If we win more than we lose we should be in good shape :)

Even if they go .500 the rest of the way

They still have a very good chance to win the division.

well, it's 1:30 here ... I'm done .. been up since 5:00 yesterday morning .. Enough!

see you on Fox

at least the cards lost.

that helps.

Cards wont be there later worry about the brewers
i don't trust

duncan. it makes me nervous. the brewers could be… but i can’t hate them. i loathe st louis.

At least you don't live in lair of the enemy

like I do. It is brutal…

I hate the brewers kind of a Packer thing
its going to be weird hating the packers without favre.

my whole football watching life, he’s been there. i don’t know who to focus my hate on…

Brewers pen is a mess

Dont think they threaten either. Houston, but only if Oswalt ever gets back into form. Cincinnati if they havent dug themselves too big a hole, but Dusty blows. Pittsburgh?

I still love our chances

i'm not even really worried about the cards

i just like them to lose. maybe that means i can go 2 days without hearing about how great ankiel’s story is. pfft.

Huston doesnt have the horses to go 168 will fade
and the skanks and red sux...

that makes me feel a bit better…

the skanks lost too?

fabulous.

2-1 to KC
Sox must have Pi** them off
Skanks?
skanky yankees.
See ya all

for this afternoon’s game.

Night!!

night!!
So here's my lunch....

Ishigaki Beef Loco Moco – the best beef on the earth

Dodger’s Lowe will be my lunch tomorrow…

is that an egg?
Yes

We Japanese love half-boiled egg

Didn't know that.

Looks interesting. Hope it was yummy! :-)

This is already in my stomach

It was damn yummy….

I remember going to an Italian restauraunt in Japan...

...and one of my friends ended up with a soft-boiled egg right on top of his spaghetti. The look on his face was priceless.

When we ordered curry, you could get a raw egg on the side as a garnish. It’d cook as you stir it in. That was great. Now I’m making myself hungry.

Italian restaurants in Japan...

are mostly run not by Italian immigrants… by Japanese…. We do have good one even in Okinawa.

Most of the time we went either for curry or to a Korean place...

...that served the food in cast iron bowls – really can’t remember what it’s called, or to the on-base soba shop. For special occasions there was a wonderful place that brought out hibachi to the tables. I don’t think the Italina restauraunt was anything special.

cast iron bowl at Korean restaurant

like this?

Nope.

Far less soupy. You’d add your own rice and vegetables and stir it, and it would cook right there on the spot.

They also served kimchee – I’ve seen kimchee in the local grocery store just recently, and been tempted, but I know full well my wife won’t eat it, and I’m afraid of being stuck eating the whole jar by myself.

Now that I look at it again...

...it seems a lot more familiar. But still, the place I ate at (and now I can’t remember the name, augh) was less soupy than that.

Can't find the picture a-looked-like

but it sounds delicious….

Yes, we do...

for curry, udon noodles, rice, whatever….

Better than Kobe?

I read somewhere they massage the cattle and feed them beer every day…

Ishigaki Beef is father of Kobe beef

and almost all branded beef in Japan… most of them has Ishigaki Beef DNA. And Kobe beef is nothing more than just one brand amongst series of great branded beefs…. Kobe should be siick out and famous only in US…

Here is Ishigaki Beef BBQ in Ishigaki Island – best BBQ I have ever had..

And now YOU'RE making me hungry.

Ugh.

One more shot of Ishigaki Beef...

... before cooking. Hard to get this in Japan main island, even in Okinawa Island… have to visit Ishigaki Island….

This will prob

be the most shown Cubs game of the year on ESPN…

“Former Yankees Manager manages a great pitching performance out of his new pitcher”

Night all

night.
Collins out as a candidate for the bulls job
Didnt like to put strain on relationship with Reinsdorf Ha HA
I hope the umps do a review after the game to see the big big mistake!
G'nite everyone

see ya tomorrow!
