Lets finally get a win against the MArlins
Please win this game tonight!!!
here for a little bit

please win please win please win GO Z

Nice to see you here Emelie!!
can't wait for the day game
Yes, I'm

excited too.

These late night games

have really taken their toll on me. At least this one shouldn’t be so late.

I admire your tenacity
Out to keep my streak alive tonight...
Z with goofy cap, LOL
Posted in last thread late...RE: Marlins Infield Power

Dear god, what’s going on in South Florida? That’s not exactly a hitters’ park, and all four starting infielders have hit around 20-25 HR a piece. Seriously, Cantu and Jacobs?

Cantu had one big season a few years ago in Tampa Bay

other than that he hasn’t been this good

Are they hitting them on the road

or at the Dolph?

let KICK SOME FISHBUTT!
deep sea fishing, baby!
hmm, maybe kick some fish gills?
Let's go Cubbies!

Beat the Fish!

Here we go Z, here we go! *clap,clap*
Home sweet home!
HOW IS THIS TEAM GOOD????

Jorge Cantu is batting THIRD

Didn't Olsen get arrested in the offseason in his front yard
wasn't that mary kate?

I jest

I think he was drunk and they found him sitting in a lawn chair
FWIW Southwest Airlines Rocks

the fact that they advertise with the cubs rocks harder

Here is an interesting Cedeno stat

Opposing pitchers have thrown a complete game in 93% of the games Cedeno starts. Ok, slight exaggeration but I’m guessing that the over/under on the number of pitches he doesn’t swing at for the game is 3

My pregame pick for player of the game is...

Hank White!

He finally gets to play!

Gotta love some Hank White
Ifirst from wrigley live from sec 529

I’ve got linux on my spare box but haven’t experimented yet

Try Ubuntu..

Best Desktop flavor

I think I've got that...

loaded up the good stuff but haven’t swum in the waters

You'll love it....
damn sideways pic
Good stuff

Thank you!

wow, your Twitter page has your iPhone GPS coordinates

You’re on the first base side.

Big bro is watching. How scary is that?

Cool to see the pictures.

Unlimited Free Image and File Hosting at MediaFire

wow way cool
Astronomers are hot...

I mean, “Hubble, Hubble!”

Z's got his sinker going early on
That kid in the bleachers had some huge ass binocs.
I had some once at a Bonnie Raitt

gig at the Newport Folk Festival. I was about three rows from the main stage. She thought I was a freak. I immediately put them away.

I got the same look

At a Page/Plant concert some years back. We were a little closer than I thought (14th row). Got that look from Plant, put them away.

Its good to see

Cedeno getting his once a month start

I hope Cedeno isn't at the ballpark today

But Onedec makes his return

That gets my vote
we started a lil something

check if out if you want sue

On the Geo site?
where is it?
I'm not sure what

Maddy meant.

yep on the geo site lol

its still in the newborn stage.

I've checked it

out several times. I think it looks great. Love the pic too. Hopefully I’ll be able to add some pics from our trip to Miwaukee in late Sept.

WHAT THE FUTURE HOLDS

Geo hits a pitch hit, game winning two run home.

Seriously

those Marlin uniforms…ugly in ‘97…ugly in ‘03…still ugly!

Before you know it

Ward will be starting at 1st…..what is this world coming to? All kidding aside, the Cubs really need to beat the fish, its been over two years since the last

Marlins down
I recommend

fishing with explosives

After seeing Arizona for the last three days, Wrigley looks tiny

Just an observation

apparently the e-mail for this game is

hawkanddj@comcastsports.net.

TV NEVER LIES

there's the inning.

SORI, we’re WAITING!

Guess-hack staller!
Amen

brother, amen!!

Score first and score often.
Ugh.

Ugly lineup though.

It's the Chicago way!
don't be the nobody that nobody sent
Ugh. Ramirez down to .268
Z has the highest average

for the lineup.

only 2 people in NL have a higher BA than Z (with qualified ABs)

what is UP

with the feed? Anyone else getting lots of pixilation and blurriness? I’m on DishHD.

comcast is fine
I have regular Dish and it is coming across just fine
So far, mlb.tv is doing just fine!
nothing DirecTV
everything is good

Nice Shot

you can see the spotlight on 2nd

Looks like a spot light on second base
That's God smiling

on Ronny!

This pitcher could be an issue for us tonight

Throws strikes and works quickly. Somebody is going to have to get into his head

Keep the pics coming fuku
maybe the difference in this game will be the play of the second basemen??
any fellow true cub on here

that can give me a toast—this bud light is freezing my teeth

Here's to you.

Here’s to me.
If we should ever disagree,
F you
here’s to me

Although I doubt there would ever be a big disagreement seeing as we both are Cubs fans. The rest is just details.

I drink to your health when I'm with you

I drink to your health when I’m alone,
I drink to your health so often,
I’m starting to worry about my own!

when I was a little girl

we had a family friend who would always toast his first drink of scotch. I heard: Like and angel wee weeing on your tongue.

I learned what he actually said was: Like an angle wavering on your tongue.

Kerry on DL
weird blister

wish the Cubs MD/PT would twitter

Now, that would be interesting

But, its only a blister. THANK GOD!

so...was shark called up?
Comes off Tuesday

backdated

wrong reply sorry
have to make

roster move

wont be long

will be retro

Has to be at least 5 days from what I understand
does that mean the roster is 24 men now?
I'm root for STL tonight --- anyone else?
i'm rooting for injuries
yes

nothing awful of course, but a sprain or a blister would be all right for members of either team

or for a brawl or beanfest

That would be great!

I bet sabatia could beat some &#* in a brawl

sabathia vs. Pujols

me too... I kinda feel dirty
Yes, I am rooting for the deadbirds

I see the Brews being a much bigger threat down the stretch.

sure

in 18 innings

Ross..K ..1 down
i honestly dont know....but they said(L and B that is)

that he might come up…..that would be cool if he did

So on the radio Ron is saying at the start of the Cubs' first inning

that the way to get to Olson is to be patient. By the time he said that we had 2 outs on the board.

how in the world was that pitch not a strike (on the 2-2 count)
We better get that called a ball as well
Cards up 1-0 bottam 1
Good work so far Z
bing bam boom
Let's see Aramis have a nice homecoming!

he is due!

Needs to get rid of the high socks
Crane K in the booth
I'm calling a Ramy HR tonight!

Also, a DeRo double.

How about a home run for Z?
If Z pitches a shutout, I don't care if he strikes out 5 times.
Amram Homer.......

NOW!

Please.

ARam still not crossing warning track
I'm convinced it's the socks.
maybe he needs Giambi's thong
Reed 2B
where

is he finding all this POWAH?

Reed killin the ball
Who said Reed shouldnt bat 5th
"Looks at his feet sheepishly"

I was thinking it.

OT: Where can I

listen to Pat and Ron for road games other than my XM radio? The dopes that do the Astros games make me want to throw up my socks. Unfortunately with XM, you are forced to listen to the home teams announcers.

Gameday Audio

$14.95 for the season, and no blackouts—including Fox games and postseason.

Pretty good deal!
Better deal when one person buys it and shares the username/password.

Not sayin’...just sayin’.

Only one person can be logged in at a time.

Otherwise, they block the account entirely for one hour.

Um...well...

I’ve been doing this for 2 straight seasons with no problem.

Maybe it works because it's just people in my same office?
yep, sharing the same IP address
DeRo..just got under that one
Reed tags up on DeRo fly ball
heads up baserunning by johnson..
love the hustle
Those damn snakes seemed to have a lot

Of hustle and headsup baserunning. Hopefully it catches on.

Thats good baseball

To tag on that one.

I so *heart* RJ
He's one of

my favorites too. You have mail.

great start :D
i need another toast

to the cubbies frying some fishes ass

May those that love us, love us

And those that don’t love us,
May God turn their hearts.
And if he doesn’t turn their hearts,
May he turn their ankles,
So we’ll know them by their limping.

(Obviously I would never root for any injury, but I’ve always enjoyed that one)

me extra innings

has the marlins broadcast errrrrr

Where's Captain Greybar when you need him?
Come on Hank White!

Go Deep Fishing!

errr

ground out

OT: Where can I

listen to Pat and Ron for road games other than my XM radio? The dopes that do the Astros games make me want to throw up my socks. Unfortunately with XM, you are forced to listen to the home teams announcers.

This wouldn't work at wrigley, but....

....do any teams show away games on the jumbotron?

The Sox have shown Bears game on their jumbotron
Hi people, been a long time...

how we doin?

hi bap and go cubs :-)
720 AM or MLB audio..
i'm about

to break the bottle of tequila out. my nerves need some relief

Gotta relax,

we have a long way to go. Still more than 2 months.

2 months

one heck of a bender.

soon

to be really relaxed

why the heck was TheRiot diving 10 seconds after the ball left the infield ??
it's his

idiom

The Crusade Continues!
He needs to stop that.

He just looks ridiculous. And he does it every day.

THIS JUST IN

Hanley Ramirez is good.

send a memo to Z
Oh fudge.

LOVE that movie!

It’s my brother’s favorite, we watch it every Christmas Eve.

Great movie
I cannot friggin believe

I get home, turn on the TV, and the first damn thing I hear is the crack of the bat and the home run. Just cannot believe that.

pour yourself a drink... it's only the 3rd inning
That's rough

man. Hopefully it’ll get better from here.

jorge cantu is still playing ML ball?

did not know that

and very well

hes been a stud for them all season

another home game and another night we need to come back

Z will need to need some run support!

I have a good feeling about our bats tonight.

Z needs to get his sinker going ...most of his pitches are staying up and middle in the zone
He's Pressing
umm...but why?
Feels threatened by Harden?
thinking about next week

facing the brewers and ben sheets on tuesday.

60 pitches in 3

hopefully that turns around

OT: Tuesday Chiefs/Cougars game at Wrigley

anyone interested in two tickets in 111 row 10 for this game? I’m looking for face which is $15 each.

Day game or night game?
7:05 pm i'm going to be in DC on business

n/t

60 pitches for Z so far
ouch
Z's Been Around Too Long

to get this jittery. Pull it together and start pitching better!

Better than the game against the stros

He had 89 pitches through 4 innings…

Hopefully he'll

settle down now.

Just got home from a week long business trip

Was trying to get as much Cub info as possible while I was gone, but Dusseldorf doesn’t offer much in the line of Chicago sports stations! Ugly run so far I see. This game is early, we’ll get some runs!!

Just noticed...

But Scott Olsen has a shutout going. Hope I don’t jinx him!

Not any more
Okay this Amstel ad

is starting to grate on my last nerve! And I rather liked The Fratellis...thanks a heap, Amstel!

OneDec!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Onedec returns!!
YAY Ronny!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How about back to back?
we love our backward man!
ONEDEC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Who has the picture?

Since he returned from the DL, opposing pitchers have kept Soriano from hitting HRs.

Hope I don’t jinx them!

we'll take a double.

(Gotta bet when you’re hot.)

can't be to greedy
welcome back, Sori

you drive me crazy but I love you…. story of my life

double me baby
I'm so happy

he’s back and getting some hits.

Hello everyone

I’m here!!!!!

so are we,

what a conincidence!

Yes!!!!

in best marv Albert tone

Card up 2-0, 3rd inning
Sori is just swing the bat well

Now that is good to see!

Scrappy base hit here baby.
Get him over

and get him in!

How about a run scorong error?
Throw the ball, meat.
dang those dps
Ohhhhhh...

Fonzie was LUCKY!

Not anymore..

This is ridiculous..

got lucky there...
short lived luck

as it turns out

twss
was suppose be reply to bumps
Ha..

was ready to type denied…

you win some you lose some
and it

was a reply to bumps… so granted

gameday is frozen

with excitement.

what happened?

Alfonso got doubled off..at 2nd
what was the luck?

lucky double followed by unlucky double play?

he almost got caught

stealing

My gamecast froze - what's happening?
People should realize that there is a thin line between aggresiveness and stupidity..

(I am looking at you Alfonso! )

but if he made it he would've been a hero
made it where exactly?
and it starts
That wasn't sori's fault

Anyone would have gotten doubled off there.

get glasses

it was a hit and run play. Riot’s supposed to hit that on the ground. Also to the right side—ironically, he actually pulled that ball.

I see that now after rewinding...thanks for pointing it out
Theriot is actually pulling the ball better nowadays. Interesting.
Can anyone

name more than two players for the Fish? Besides Ramirez and our All Star Dunce, Uggla, I dont have a clue.

marlins

who r they??

well, there's Gonzo
and Scooter.

What position does Dr. Honeydoo play for them again?

Willinham? i think thats his name

Usually worth a homer or two of us a series

How about Ricky?

He was supposed to be a Cub. But we had the thrill of Juan Pierre for a year. Whoo Hoo! (serious sarcasm)

didnt luis gonzalez

start playing baseball 46 years ago???

they're doing it with animatronics
Nope.

18 years.

Signed,
Guy who doesn’t understand sarcasm

I thought Gonzalez was dead
Thought the 'roids got him, didn't you?
Or at least broken down from the roids
I did too

the last time I saw him.

hello from london!!

as soon as i logged into gameday ONEDEC hits one out. . . hope we keep that luck up!!!

Log out and log back in when we're up next.

Why not?

Areed :-)
He's in left.
ack...meant agreed
OK...

Log out….NOW

PS, if you don't do it, the terrorists win.
wow it must be really late there
bout 2am actually

(I work nights, so may be in it til the end!!)

With London getting the Olympics,

what do you think about Chicago becoming an Olympic city? Good idea or bad?

i don't see why not. . .

we’ve got much more room to build than London does. . . and a better public transit system!!!

wasnt he

a cub 17 years ago

Didn't he hit the homer in the gloamin?
Hey Everybody!

Back from astronomy class!

Oh cool...

Can you tell me my horoscope?

but..that would be astrology
Maybe you're the guy who doesn't understand sarcasm.
sorry..was late to catch that..
duh

telescope

Astronomers are hot.

I mean, “Hubble, Hubble!”

yikes

that was awful

yeah, yeah.

they can’t all be gold.

Do you remember your H-R diagram? Quiz at 11 pm.
Cedeno looks like Onedec tonight.
it had a good run

might be time to retire that

We're bringing it back.

As long as he plays well he’ll always be Onedec to us.

Zambrano

is at 73 pitches already. Going to need the bullpen tonight

Pitching the Scott Kazmir special tonight.
Gonzo takes 10 pitches to pop up...
I feel like

a aram shot onto waveland

3 down..time to tack on some runs and dry out the fish
Let's get some runs!!!!!
dear harey

show us some love down here

maybe he'd be more apt to if you spelt his name right hehehe
You know I'd really like one of those cute Cubby Bears,

wish I was a little kid.

HI EVERYBODY!

“Don’t worry, you won’t feel a thing….till I jam this down your throat!”

Did I miss something?
HI EVERYBODY!

“The coroner, I’m so sick of that guy. See you in the operating place!”

crappity crap crap
HI EVERYBODY!

“The gloves came free with my toilet brush.”

What is this?
Just trying to make people laugh

with the wisdom of Dr. Nick Riviera.

ooooo

I get it now, kind of ashamed I didn’t get

that was quick and uneventful
nobody?

I thought that was a gimme

we just need

to break this one open. One ball needs to drop.

time to do the dinner thing

bye folks. Z Rocks… we’ve got this one in the bag, Costco style

See ya Emelie.
mmmm Costco sausage dog

Thanks now I am hungry

Cards aboutt to walk in a run
.... and they did 2-1 cards
To Jason Kendall?

ugh

On a possitive note

If we can get one person on next inning then our best hitter will come up with one man on.

Do you speak of Hank White?
Brewers have bags loaded. Kendall walks and gets an RBI.

Score is 2-1.

Wellemeyer Meltdown

walking the whole team

2-1 Cards

What a shock!
TWSS
weak
The peanut gallery thing is getting a little old.
who knew

the Marlins had a 16 year old girl playing for them.

Onedec has some nice range
I hope for a no decision for Sheets

and for Glaus and Ludwick to kick some arse. That would be a good thing for my fantasy team

good thing

I benched Matt Cain this week.

Z seem to settle down

Let’s score some runs now!

New thread is up
cards out of it, still up 2-1
Ludwick

just saved our bacon, big-time.

looks weird to see everyone rooting for the cards
Fuck the Cards

I could care less who wins between the Brewers and Cardinals

me thinks same..if we can take care of our own business then who cares what the cheese cakes and the dead birds do
Jump to Overflow Thread

jump

come on ONEDEC!!
You know I said something last night

About the crowd in Arizona acting like they were dead. I was wondering if Wrigley was that much different because I am going to my first Cub’s game at Wrigley for the first game of the Houston series. But, DAMN there is so much a difference just sitting here in the lazy boy listening to the crowd.

Zambrano =

good at hitting.

and now they’re walking Soriano??? Nice.

You know we jumped, right?
Come on Derrek

Bring them in!
