do the Giants not have a scouting report on Rami? I know he was bad in that series out in SF, but… walking Derrek to face Rami in a close & late situation… wow. Seriously.
“Rami is a professional hitter and gives you a professional at bat every time” “Wrigley’s like the British Open sometimes with the weather changes” “We aren’t going with a 6 man rotation. No.” “Good win, good way to start the series”. “Marquis pitched well. He had to because Cain’s a helluva pitcher”.
We have more than enough pitchers already. 13 is ridiculous. 5 starters and 6 relievers should be enough. If you need more than 6 relievers in a game, it’s either an 18-inning contest or you don’t know how to manage a bullpen.
But Orton showed some decent arm strength and presence in the pocket. His problem was his accuracy. Don’t know if he can fix that…but if he can he might not be that bad.
you peeked! Listen, as a long time Packer fan, I will tell you that he has provided us with a lot of great games and one SB. However, Brett Favre, IMO, is the most overrated quaterback in the history of the NFL, for the very reasons Northsider just posted. He really doesn’t care if he throws interceptions. In one interview, he said his reckesness was part of his game, and if fans don’t like it they can shove it – basically. Anyway, if you guys want him, you can have him.
Nothing, since I was obviously asking if you'd rather have Orton or Favre, since those are the choices...
Would you rather have Kyle’s 3 TD’s and 2 INT’s or Bret’s 28 TD’s and 15 INT? You can’t seriously think that Favre wouldn’t be an upgrade over the craptastic job the Bear’s QB’s did last season, can you?
Yeah, and a gunshot is an upgrade over a knife wound.
I never said Kyle Orton was the second coming of Christ, but Brett Favre is not the answer. And he’d be a lot more expensive. Why spend that kind of money on Favre for one season? Doesn’t make sense.
to have a QB – or any other position – of his caliber, with his heart on the Bears. The Bears are a buch of 2nd stringers and that’s that. Hester is an anomaly.
I love the Bears but hate the organization. Ownership from the McCaskeys on down don’t seem to care about anyone but themselves. That being said, I really am scared for team this season.
in January. I miss the city & my neighborhood, (near west side). On the other hand, it is so nice to be back in the region. (I know, that sounds funny). I’ve lived all over the country since I was 16-17. Grew up in a small town, so the region is a nice speed now- know what I’m saying?
St. Margarets FTW. (not really) Interestingly enough my best friend just got a job to be a RD there. And FWIW I bought 4 Pumpkins ticket for the concert at the Horseshoe there.
I’ve been super busy, and I’m super tired. Clients freakin’ out on a Friday. Don’t they know I don’t do much on Friday after 1:00? Been putting out fires all afternoon.
FINISH THEM!

carmen_fanzone - July 11, 2008
Let's wrap this one up nicely, shall we?
jennypage - July 11, 2008
For all of the grief Marquis catches here,
he pitched great today. It’s a shame he won’t get a W for his effort.
DeRoMyHero - July 11, 2008
for once, i feel almost sorry for marquis
that’s a weird feeling.
Bill Potter - July 11, 2008
agreed....7 IP 3 hits 0 runs
carmen_fanzone - July 11, 2008
Word
He really pitched to the conditions today, he had a low pitch count too, but Lou had to try and get that run acress
gwood - July 11, 2008
Wow
I gotta remember that periods are my friend.
I call foul for excessive comma use
gwood - July 11, 2008
banished!
carmen_fanzone - July 11, 2008
he had a good game.
if he can do this for the rest of the season, that’s great.
But I don’t think he can.
drewishdrewid - July 11, 2008
i'd like to meet the person who thinks he can do this the rest of the season.
Bill Potter - July 11, 2008
he might.
drewishdrewid - July 11, 2008
really?
jason all we ask is for 7 innings of shut out ball every 5 days. Can ya do that?
halfblindcubbiegirl - July 11, 2008
Wipe them out
ALL OF THEM
drewishdrewid - July 11, 2008

Going to the game…rooting for Cincy, obviously.

Bill Potter - July 11, 2008

MikeOxbyg - July 11, 2008

drewishdrewid - July 11, 2008
Pat said DeRo misplayed it
wnielsen - July 11, 2008
Should have had it probably
razzpunk - July 11, 2008
yes
drewishdrewid - July 11, 2008
He stopped for some reason, then had to go chase it
carmen_fanzone - July 11, 2008
he`did...pretty badly, he froze and then had to regroup
JB 23 - July 11, 2008
What is DeRo doing playing out there in the 9th?
IowaCubs- - July 11, 2008
who the hell is going to take his place???
drewishdrewid - July 11, 2008
HANK WHITE...
... i guess your point is well taken…
IowaCubs- - July 11, 2008
The could have moved Johnson
over the Left and had Edmonds play center….just sayin
TheRiot Police - July 11, 2008
Ward isn't available.
DeRoMyHero - July 11, 2008

carmen_fanzone - July 11, 2008
Come on now Wood....don't kill the buzz!!
razzpunk - July 11, 2008
No wind to pull it back in
flachimesa - July 11, 2008
Kerry just throw strikes, damn it
carmen_fanzone - July 11, 2008

razzpunk - July 11, 2008
Don't walk him!!
What a knucklehead!
Itchy - July 11, 2008

Molina base hit, 1st and 3rd, one run in....nobody out
carmen_fanzone - July 11, 2008
Unfreaking believable!!! Come on Wood!!! This is the Giants!!! Ugggh!!
razzpunk - July 11, 2008
I swear when A-Ram gets a huge homerun the bullpen ALWAYS blows it
nji232 - July 11, 2008
We're dying to see the number to back up your ridiculous comment.
santoswoodenlegs - July 11, 2008
only happened once before, but...
your pessimism is noted and appreciated…
IowaCubs- - July 11, 2008
It happened against Colorado this year, STL last week, hopefully not today
nji232 - July 11, 2008
Marmol up in the pen
carmen_fanzone - July 11, 2008
From bad to worse
lostinthevines - July 11, 2008
Why are you even here?
santoswoodenlegs - July 11, 2008
Who, me?
As if Marmol and Wood haven’t struggled as of late?
lostinthevines - July 11, 2008
Wood ain't got it today
Itchy - July 11, 2008
should have had an out, tho
Shanghai Badger - July 11, 2008
agreed
Itchy - July 11, 2008
Is Wood having trouble with a blister?
Thought I read that somewhere recently.
BlueSox - July 11, 2008
He's throwing 97.
Obviously he’s fine.
Unique - July 11, 2008

IowaCubs- - July 11, 2008

Get it done.
Unique - July 11, 2008

Woody K’s Rowand.
BMoney79 - July 11, 2008
K on Rowand, but runner steals 2nd
carmen_fanzone - July 11, 2008
oops on Geo
could’ve had interference
Shanghai Badger - July 11, 2008
Caught us sleeping!
Dammit
Itchy - July 11, 2008
ok, so get 2 outs before they get 2 runs.
seems simple. right?
Bill Potter - July 11, 2008
That should be interference on Rowand!!!
JB 23 - July 11, 2008
Where is Lou?
santoswoodenlegs - July 11, 2008
gotta make the throw. Soto didn't
Shanghai Badger - July 11, 2008
Sucks
SFG ran themselves out of DP chance too. Soto wanted interference.
BMoney79 - July 11, 2008
Geo could have gotten an interference call but he didn't make contact with rowand!!
razzpunk - July 11, 2008
2 down.
BMoney79 - July 11, 2008
2 down..
Bump Bailey - July 11, 2008

Shanghai Badger - July 11, 2008
Excellent
lostinthevines - July 11, 2008
Dome saves a run...
santoswoodenlegs - July 11, 2008
and keeps the tying run from reaching 3rd.
santoswoodenlegs - July 11, 2008
What was the 2nd out?
wnielsen - July 11, 2008

RESPECT THE ARM!!!
daver - July 11, 2008

Is your boss a Cubs fan or a Sox fan?

I never grow tired of seeing this man....
JB 23 - July 11, 2008
I wonder if he knows
he is famous
gwood - July 11, 2008
I wonder who he really is.
daver - July 11, 2008
I wish there was a way to find out who he is.
I’d personally treat him to a game.
Bump Bailey - July 11, 2008
And an Old Style
gwood - July 11, 2008
For sure...
not sure about the hot dogs though…that might run into some serious money…:)
Bump Bailey - July 11, 2008
Although he looks like
he could put back a few Old Styles too
gwood - July 11, 2008
That's not the dude from Office Space?
TheRiot Police - July 11, 2008
No, just some ordinary guy.

daver - July 11, 2008
Karma . . .
No way was I going to wear a Cubs hat had they blown it in the 9th and listen to the Brewers fans.
Once I’d decided that . . . it’ll be a Shanghai hat…if the seats are as good as I’m told, maybe you can see my goofy mug behind HP tonight.
Shanghai Badger - July 11, 2008
I will wear my Championship hat from last year!

Mr W - July 11, 2008
I don't know about that.
Every save isn’t going to be 1-2-3. The fact that he can work through most of the jams makes him a good closer.
daver - July 11, 2008
You are sooooo right.
Jimmyeatworld - July 11, 2008
agree
one of his greatest strengths is ability to get himself out of a clutch… most of the time
Emelie - July 11, 2008
DeRo mis-played out number one...
...and last week Molina went around for strike three and the umps blew that one.
Its tough when you have to get 4 outs instead of 3….
JB 23 - July 11, 2008
Roger that
But he can’t walk the rook…He has to force him to hit his way on…especially with a 3 run lead.

halfblindcubbiegirl - July 11, 2008
Now thats out of my system:
do the Giants not have a scouting report on Rami? I know he was bad in that series out in SF, but… walking Derrek to face Rami in a close & late situation… wow. Seriously.
halfblindcubbiegirl - July 11, 2008
Yeah, what a dunderheaded move.
daver - July 11, 2008
But I'll take it.

If the Rays and Angels lose tonight, the Cubs will again have the best record in baseball.
danimal15 - July 11, 2008
Sweet!

Comcast poll...."Do we need one more starter?"....are you serious???
razzpunk - July 11, 2008
No
we have enough!
mondello58 - July 11, 2008
Heck
We have more than enough pitchers already. 13 is ridiculous. 5 starters and 6 relievers should be enough. If you need more than 6 relievers in a game, it’s either an 18-inning contest or you don’t know how to manage a bullpen.
danimal15 - July 11, 2008
I concur
mondello58 - July 11, 2008
after yesterday, i'd say
YES
IowaCubs- - July 11, 2008
that's just silly
Emelie - July 11, 2008
Theriot
Note that it was Theriot who got things going in the 8th. He’s been so valuable this year.
danimal15 - July 11, 2008
I'm really excited for Harden tomorrow...
I hope trading Murton for him was worth it.
IowaCubs- - July 11, 2008
For those who have no life like me
Gallagher pitches tonight…west coast time
TheRiot Police - July 11, 2008
already aware
cubs - July 11, 2008
Good work on the reply!
MikeOxbyg - July 11, 2008
...thanks lol
cubs - July 11, 2008
TWSS
Goat Whisperer - July 11, 2008
hello again
cubs - July 11, 2008
OT....Favre wants his unconditional release from the Packers
Sounds like he wants to play somewhere….
TheRiot Police - July 11, 2008
Git 'er done, Jimbo!!!
Oh, sorry…still excited from the game.
daver - July 11, 2008
Bears should sign him
so he can stick it to the stinkin Pack!!
Itchy - July 11, 2008
That would be rough
first we sign Edmonds, then the Bears go and get Favre, that’s a lot of former enemies to sign in one year
gwood - July 11, 2008
I don't think I could take it
honestly.
halfblindcubbiegirl - July 11, 2008
really besides last
year he wasn’t very good the past few years
cubs - July 11, 2008
and he was so AWFUL in the cold
that game against my Bears and then the play off game. He looked old.
halfblindcubbiegirl - July 11, 2008
Neither has Rex or Orton!
He did completely suck in the cold though, didn’t he??
Itchy - July 11, 2008
Me neither
That’s too much animosity to swallow in one year
gwood - July 11, 2008
Hope he plays for the Vikings...
They’d just love that in Packerland…:)
Bump Bailey - July 11, 2008
and he sucks in domes
i’m sure that’d be a fun experiment.
halfblindcubbiegirl - July 11, 2008
twhs?
Emelie - July 11, 2008
difference is...
...you know Favre can play and it would be a helluva upgrade.
carmen_fanzone - July 11, 2008
I'd take him
MikeOxbyg - July 11, 2008
and no that's not WSS
MikeOxbyg - July 11, 2008
If by "play", you mean "throw lots of pretty interceptions", then yes, Favre can most certainly play.
northsider - July 11, 2008
guess you missed last season...
...or you just like watching Kyle Orton in there.
carmen_fanzone - July 11, 2008
People think I am crazy
But Orton showed some decent arm strength and presence in the pocket. His problem was his accuracy. Don’t know if he can fix that…but if he can he might not be that bad.
Regardless…I call 6-10 season
TheRiot Police - July 11, 2008
I like Orton
he’s a nice guy. We had the same physical therapist at Purdue.
and he can see over his O-line. That helps.
halfblindcubbiegirl - July 11, 2008
2/3 of the bartenders in Des Moines...
...would tell you otherwise. He’s not very well liked here.
IowaCubs- - July 11, 2008
I like him, too, being a Purdue grad and seeing most his games he played in WLafayette...
....I just think the Bears are the wrong team for him.
carmen_fanzone - July 11, 2008
He was great fun to watch in High School...
here in Iowa, but I feel sorry for the town of Altoona, Iowa for having to put up with him.
IowaCubs- - July 11, 2008
What does Orton have to do with Favre throwing INTs?
And yeah, I saw Favre the last three years:
‘07: 28 TD, 15 INT
‘06: 18 TD, 18 INT
‘05: 20 TD, 29 INT
And he was especially craptastic against the Bears. So I guess the only reason for signing him is so he doesn’t have to face us?
northsider - July 11, 2008
Darn it Northsider
you peeked!
Listen, as a long time Packer fan, I will tell you that he has provided us with a lot of great games and one SB. However, Brett Favre, IMO, is the most overrated quaterback in the history of the NFL, for the very reasons Northsider just posted. He really doesn’t care if he throws interceptions. In one interview, he said his reckesness was part of his game, and if fans don’t like it they can shove it – basically.
Anyway, if you guys want him, you can have him.
Mr W - July 11, 2008
+1
Shanghai Badger - July 11, 2008
Nothing, since I was obviously asking if you'd rather have Orton or Favre, since those are the choices...
Would you rather have Kyle’s 3 TD’s and 2 INT’s or Bret’s 28 TD’s and 15 INT? You can’t seriously think that Favre wouldn’t be an upgrade over the craptastic job the Bear’s QB’s did last season, can you?
Hell, George Blanda would be an upgrade.
carmen_fanzone - July 11, 2008
Yeah, and a gunshot is an upgrade over a knife wound.
I never said Kyle Orton was the second coming of Christ, but Brett Favre is not the answer. And he’d be a lot more expensive. Why spend that kind of money on Favre for one season? Doesn’t make sense.
northsider - July 11, 2008
Because they want to win?
carmen_fanzone - July 13, 2008
By the way, nice misuse of statistics.
OMG, Kyle only threw 3 TDs?? HE SUCKS!!!
How many games was that in? Wait, let me take this one. THREE.
northsider - July 11, 2008
3 games, 3 TD's...that averages out to....16?
16 < 28 ?
carmen_fanzone - July 13, 2008
There's a reason they play the games.
northsider - July 13, 2008
I know but what do they have to lose??
I mean they have no QBs to speak of right now.
Itchy - July 11, 2008
I thought Favre was retired...again....
Mr W - July 11, 2008
Ricjie exson
Kinky Reggae - July 11, 2008
Is he European?
daver - July 11, 2008
was that intentional
cubs - July 11, 2008
Couldn't see the post box. Thought it went pretty well considering.
Kinky Reggae - July 11, 2008
Sorry...Richie Sexson was released. Just a non fanpost worthy piece of info.
ADD sorry y’all.
Kinky Reggae - July 11, 2008
David Wright is taking Sori's All-star roster spot
LAME.
halfblindcubbiegirl - July 11, 2008
I thought Holiday took it
gwood - July 11, 2008
Wright
I guess they figured, let’s find the most eligible player we can from New York.
danimal15 - July 11, 2008
I thought that was Jeter's
closet?
IowaCubs- - July 11, 2008
Me too
but maybe he was already on the team, and he’s just starting in place of Alfonso.
JohnM - July 11, 2008
This is the correct answer
okiecubbie - July 11, 2008
that is correct...
Holliday starting, but he was already on the team.
carmen_fanzone - July 11, 2008
I dunno
thats what ESPN’s ticker said
halfblindcubbiegirl - July 11, 2008
If we did not already have D Ward
Tony Clark is available and would be a good bench guy. But we don’t need 2.5 1st basemen on this team
TheRiot Police - July 11, 2008
I'm not suggesting Richie Sexson...
just felt like passing it on.
Kinky Reggae - July 11, 2008
if you say that to someone under 18 you can get arrested
LAcarl519 - July 11, 2008
I bes be careful huh?
Kinky Reggae - July 11, 2008
you are among friends :-)
LAcarl519 - July 11, 2008
I hope they are all over 18 then...
don’t needs no trouble.
Kinky Reggae - July 11, 2008
Webster Popodopolous
Kinky Reggae - July 11, 2008
Ma'am and George think baseball is too dangerous. Won't let Webster play
JEROMEWALTON'SBATTINGSTANCE - July 11, 2008
Nice retort!
I think Ma’am does, George played football right?
Kinky Reggae - July 11, 2008
For the lions. If that is football.
JEROMEWALTON'SBATTINGSTANCE - July 11, 2008
He'd make a good pinch hitter.
No way an opposing pitcher finds his strike zone.
daver - July 11, 2008
Word!
Kinky Reggae - July 11, 2008
What a great game, too bad I missed it...
but I did notice our best friend was at a special game a while ago… look closely!
lswaidz - July 11, 2008
haha, nice
northsider - July 11, 2008
hey iswaidz
you ready for that ff season
cubs - July 11, 2008
yeah
ready to win :-)
lswaidz - July 11, 2008
ha-ha
we’ll see about that
cubs - July 11, 2008
he's shorter than I thought
he was…
drewishdrewid - July 11, 2008
he's obviously kneeling from all the
old styles and hot dogs
lswaidz - July 11, 2008
Awesome!
i love that guy.
Milton is not his name anymore… now he is WALDO!
halfblindcubbiegirl - July 11, 2008
Well done.
daver - July 11, 2008
lol
Emelie - July 11, 2008
Oh wow... took me a while to find him... nice work
IowaCubs- - July 11, 2008
I just turned on the TV and it had been left on ESPN.
So I was just in time to see the start of Around the Horn, with Mariotti holding up the “W” flag thinking he’s going to “win” the stupid show today.
northsider - July 11, 2008
Breaking News!
santoswoodenlegs - July 11, 2008
You are something sir!
MikeOxbyg - July 11, 2008
no thanks
lswaidz - July 11, 2008
i suppose the bears current situation is better?
IowaCubs- - July 11, 2008
I feel ill.
:-/
halfblindcubbiegirl - July 11, 2008
I just threw up in my mouth.
JEROMEWALTON'SBATTINGSTANCE - July 11, 2008
never happen
LAcarl519 - July 11, 2008
Frightening...
... they get C.C., we get #4
IowaCubs- - July 11, 2008
No periods anymore
C.C. prefers CC
gwood - July 11, 2008
I.'M. S.O.R.R.Y CC
IowaCubs- - July 11, 2008
lol SWL
northsider - July 11, 2008
You're amazing.
You’re like C-3PO or something.
lostinthevines - July 11, 2008
ew ew ew ew ew ew ew
EW!drewishdrewid - July 11, 2008
Steve Fuller - is that you?
wnielsen - July 11, 2008
Much better than anything we have.
Jayo525 - July 11, 2008
My only wish is to see him leave the field on a stretcher...
best chance of that is behind the Bears Line
MikeOxbyg - July 11, 2008
Okay. I'm no farve fan
but that is uncool. you don’t wish that on anyone.
halfblindcubbiegirl - July 11, 2008
how can you say that about anyone?
LAcarl519 - July 11, 2008
Sorry, just got a little callus living deep within the land of cheddar
and having to hear about him like he was God for the last decade.
MikeOxbyg - July 11, 2008
Ah...Fan Displacement Syndrome
or FDS.
I hear loud and clear in the Show me State
TheRiot Police - July 11, 2008
We should be so lucky
to have a QB – or any other position – of his caliber, with his heart on the Bears. The Bears are a buch of 2nd stringers and that’s that. Hester is an anomaly.
lostinthevines - July 11, 2008
I think
Urlacher and Tommie Harris have something to say about that.
McRipper - July 11, 2008
vasher and tillman
are underrated too.
dez clark is good. olsen could be good.
and i dare you to say any of that to Olin Kreutz’s face.
halfblindcubbiegirl - July 11, 2008
Meh
I love the Bears but hate the organization. Ownership from the McCaskeys on down don’t seem to care about anyone but themselves. That being said, I really am scared for team this season.
Jayo525 - July 11, 2008
Michal McCaskey is such a tool.
I wonder what the plan is for when Virginia passes…
halfblindcubbiegirl - July 11, 2008
If he was running for president, you'd be under investigation by the FBI!
northsider - July 11, 2008
Ok, that was crude
Although, even as a Packer fan, I find the overexposure sickening, too
Shanghai Badger - July 11, 2008
Hey bro,
Glad to see I’m not the only Packer fan who has had enough of Bret Favre’s routine. The guy’s never met an interception he didn’t like.
Mr W - July 11, 2008
Hey ya'll!
Jimmyeatworld - July 11, 2008
youv'e been gone whole game
cubs - July 11, 2008
were not even talking baseball now aha
cubs - July 11, 2008
Today was peanut butter jelly with a baseball bat!!
Jimmyeatworld - July 11, 2008
hey jimmy!
whats up?
halfblindcubbiegirl - July 11, 2008
Just catching up with everything.
Doing good. How you doin’ girl?
Jimmyeatworld - July 11, 2008
I'm okay
been listening to the blue angels fly over all afternoon. :-)
halfblindcubbiegirl - July 11, 2008
I went to lunch at Flamingo's today. The beach is crowded already.
Jimmyeatworld - July 11, 2008
Its a friday in july
what did you expect?
halfblindcubbiegirl - July 11, 2008
Nothing less...
Jimmyeatworld - July 11, 2008
I'm only a few miles inland
but I haven’t made it out to the lakeshore yet. waiting for some of the tourists to vamoose.
halfblindcubbiegirl - July 11, 2008
I knew you were from Indy.
Didn’t know you were that close to the lakeshore.
Jimmyeatworld - July 11, 2008
Yep.
Portage -ish. Kind of between a few different towns.
halfblindcubbiegirl - July 11, 2008
Let me guess...
Lake Station?
Jimmyeatworld - July 11, 2008
Nope.
Chesterton.
halfblindcubbiegirl - July 11, 2008
That was my second guess...
Jimmyeatworld - July 11, 2008
Uh huh. Sure
Chesterton is so boooring.
halfblindcubbiegirl - July 11, 2008
For reals...
It was a choice between Lake Station & Chesterton.
Jimmyeatworld - July 11, 2008
I used to live
in Hammond.
Now I don’t. Thank ghods.
drewishdrewid - July 11, 2008
Drew?
Headed to the bright lights big city? I used to live in Hammond as well…
Jimmyeatworld - July 11, 2008
now I live
in Melrose Park, IL
drewishdrewid - July 11, 2008
I just left the city after 8 yrs.
in January. I miss the city & my neighborhood, (near west side). On the other hand, it is so nice to be back in the region. (I know, that sounds funny). I’ve lived all over the country since I was 16-17. Grew up in a small town, so the region is a nice speed now- know what I’m saying?
Jimmyeatworld - July 11, 2008
Was born there.
St. Margarets FTW. (not really) Interestingly enough my best friend just got a job to be a RD there. And FWIW I bought 4 Pumpkins ticket for the concert at the Horseshoe there.
Jayo525 - July 11, 2008
We're all a bunch of region rats...
Jimmyeatworld - July 11, 2008
you two...
... should get a room…
(sorry… it had to be said)
IowaCubs- - July 11, 2008
Dude...
Jimmyeatworld - July 11, 2008
apologies...
...really…
it’s actually nice to see friendly banter on this site after yesterday. It’s like we just won or something.
IowaCubs- - July 11, 2008
yesterday was no fun
:-)
halfblindcubbiegirl - July 11, 2008
I know...
I’ve been super busy, and I’m super tired. Clients freakin’ out on a Friday. Don’t they know I don’t do much on Friday after 1:00? Been putting out fires all afternoon.
Jimmyeatworld - July 11, 2008
People expect work to be done after lunch on Fridays?
Unpossible!
Jayo525 - July 11, 2008
Have a nice night folks
let’s get em again tomorrow GO RICH AND GO CUBS!
cubs - July 11, 2008
