let's get out of this unscathed

or only minorly so please

breakin in the new thread

circling like a dog looking for the right place to plop down

Do it, Howry!
Well this is certainly dramatic...
do we get Bob Howry or Bad Howry?
Yesss!

1 down.

thats a big out
Marmol and Eyre up
Helluvu throw, DeRo!
whadimiss whadimiss
Crapinals still winning 3-2

I guess thats a good thing. Breaks the stride of the Brewers

wonder where all the Jumpers are tonight
Watching the Brewers and Cards duke it out?
you're no better for continuously mentioning them
Z pitched goodbut was

up to 122 or so pitches. Blanco hit a nice HR some other stuff

oops that was meant for you Cubnational
yes, and his screen name evokes great potential for creative, critical thought
I'm here
cmon bobby

get this guy out!

Eeeeeek

I don’t want to watch, but I can’t look away!

Come on BOBBY!
My kingdom for a DP....

TWSS

So far, so good, Howry.

Keep ‘em comin’,

Need

a ground ball

Damn it Blanco and A-Ram
What?

I only have gamecast

who was closer?
they were both right on top of it.

it actually bounced out of Hank’s glove.

They were both

right there together. Hank dropped it and Rami thought he had it but neither did.

how did they not grab it?
Hank had it....it just popped out.

And A-Ram almost got it off the glove bounce.

Ram has to get that ball if he can
DEROSA!!!

what a catch! SAVED THE GAME!!!!

DeRosa! What a grab!
hey all!

score looks good but it appears I just missed a gaffe. :(

Hank White dropped a pop-up
To be fair...

TOUGH PLAY

awesome catch by DeRo!
Um, crap.
Dude...

bases loaded no outs…you trade an out for a run and be happy.

amen

that catch may have saved the game

Sorry... lacked context

Bummed about the E… Happy about studly, studly Mr. D’s save.

Stay positive

or leave

Chill, bruno.
Cool it

with the net-cop BS.

Well, that ball was smoked.

But all in all, I think we got a peek of Good Bobby tonight.

Oh, wow.

Good thing that guy was chosen for the All-Star game instead of Ugh-luh.

Oh, wait…

DeRo would have been money at the ASG

I had that thought many times during the game.

wow

have you ever been so happy to see a run scored against us?

omg.... i've been on the phone the last 20 minutes

I get off the phone just as dero makes the catch wow

Hey Madison

how ya doing?

good.. and better if they get outta this inning.

Old friend called me… havent talked to him in ages so took the call. so that was all warm and fuzzy

Bootown

is good tonight too…gotta keep the Cheese state rockin’

HEY!!! :)
hi girl

you in utah or boston?

lol, neither

I’m in Cali for 3 weeks working at a summer debate camp—but I’ll be in Boston after this. I have an apartment in Boston now!!! :D

Tell me about it...

my mom from Oklahoma called 5 minutes ago..and I’m trying to figure out a “nice” way of getting off the phone so I can pay more attention to the game….yes mom the kids are fine…good to hear Dad’s stools are regular…uh-huh….right…gas is expensive.

Stools are regular?

Does that mean they don’t wobble… all the legs are even?

At least you

still have your parents.

I'm not saying I don't like them...

I just want to call here back LATER.

I undrerstand that....just

wishing I still had mine.

True

lost my dad this past May…my mom wants to give me some of his stuff…including the Ron Santo autographed ball I gave him. Miss ya Dad!

mom i would have let go to voice mail LOL
so if Marmol's coming in now

who pitches the 9th?

Marmol

Four out save

Marmol. He’d just pitch 1 1/13 instead of 1

that's not exactly been gold

in the past…

Wow

If only I had TV, that catch SOUNDED phenomenal!

Dome would of just been able to make the catch, but still a great play
Probably with no dive.
Thats what I meant
woulda, shoulda, coulda doesn't matter, only what Actually happened!
he had his

go go gadget arms working

An Inspector Gadget reference?

Hooray obscurity!

now's when I wish I'd subbed to MLB
Marmol

4 out save

Let's go Marmol

Come on Carlos, close it out

NASTY!!!!
Glad to agree!
I think we can declare Marmol oficially back!
I just hope back to stay
WHITE CASTLE!

He’s back!

EXACTLY

what I was going to post!

Who bat for us in the 8th?
arriba, Carlos!
I love you Carlos!!!!
Oh yeah...love me some White Castles!
He's baaaack
Including

his ASG appearance, he’s been excellent for a couple weeks.

whew

Good job, Marmol.

Atta boy

Charlie!

Yay, Cubbie relievers!

RepreSENT!

There ya go

:)

Very Very Nice To See
Marmolade

NASTY Slider

squish them fish ..
+100

fire up the fry-o-lator!

new to this site...

HUGE cubs fan as I’m sure everyone here is, just found out about this site….nice to see Marmol throwing the way he’s capable of again

Another newbie!

Welcome and yes you are in good company!

welcome to our corner of cyber space
another newbie.

Welcome to the greatest Cub site.

No question.

And welcome!!

want to welcome you ...

but keep in mine this site is addictive. LOL

Solrac! Haha

Does is stick like onedec? lomram!

Solrac pitched right before the ASB.

This is Carlos.

Ah true, it turned it back around!
Agreed

Plus, Solrac sounds evil. I like Carlos. :)

Marmol was never a problem like Cedeno is/was
Before the ASG?

Yeah he was.

But his problems are

(hopefully) the exception, you know?

He never ever ever ever ever ever got thrown out on second when the batter took a walk

He was a victim of overuse not a victim of being stupid

smackit D .. smackit
does anyone else watching the game on mlbtv

get sick of the 2 commercials that they play over and over?

just keep watching
I'm not sure what your talking about.

Do they show commercials?

Kind of like Groundhog's Day?
I think they are really

subliminal ads for Selig’s Auto Dealerships

YES

“hey this is victor martinez”

YES

“hey this is the reply button”

And I'm AJ Burnett.

Blah!

Not to mention, I’m only seeing those commercials because I’ve ALREADY BOUGHT THE SUBSCRIPTION!

yes. but it feels so much better during a win

damn, are they stealing our signs? they had Soriano pegged out, and now this….if they are, they suck at completing it

watching all the games from new jersey leaves me no option but mlb tv and those damn commercials haha
I dont know why

But, I want more runs here. Greedy?

no

just run deprived for the past week or so

ARam base hit
I sure hope

he’s out of his slump now.

Keep gettin'

outta that slump A-Ram!

You can never have too many base hits
unless your from Louisiana and they're all singles.
and hit to the right side.
the man with a plan ... go get em Reed
So does Fukudome make that catch DeRo does?

I think he would. I dunno

Seriously, does it really matter?
Yeah.

He positions better

Naw

Just curious

Would guess so.

Pretty amazing defensive outfielder.

In any case, so did DeRo. More balanced contributions again. Looking like the Cubbies from the first half again.

He wouldn't have even needed to dive IMO

But still an amazing play

One more

I could breathe a little easier with a 4-run lead

Let's

bat around!!!

DeRo gettin some love

as he comes up to bat

Who says fans don't appreciate defense?
ARam stolen base
on a pitch out
Wait, what just happened?
Did...um...Did Aramis just steal a base?
ARam steals second!
He was jealous

of Lilly!

I was so excited during that steal last night!!!
Cards lead the Brewers 3-2

Bottom of the eighth.

Words I never thought I'd say:

GO CARDS!!!

Hope they hang on
Here we go

Cardinals, here we go!

a-ram with the SB...

on the pitchout?

This is truly bizzaro cub world all of a sudden.

I guess he couldn’t just let Lilly show him up.

Catcher gives Aramis a gift stolen base.
Stealing on the pitch out

I like it.

What a sight

ARam out there smiling on second safe with a pitch out

Guess he still feels fast with the high socks.
This is further proof that there will be a WS parade down Michigan Ave this year...
Drive him in

Hank White!!

Think Blanco has another 3 run homer in him????
Man I hope so
Lotta nose in that picture of the 3 women...
I love me some nose.
Aww...

the trixies are drunk… and happy. Yay! Take a picture!

OMG WE'RE REALLY ON TV?
"OMG... we were just totally on TV!"
OMG, AT WHAT ANGLE DID THEY GET OUR NOSES?
Mike's Hard Lemonade Rules!
Buh,

I only drink cranberry vodkas.

drank way to much of them back in the day..

took ,e the longest time to be able to even drink regular lemonade again

I won't argue with them being on camera

Better than random drunk fat guy that has B painted on his chest

You take that back about my dad.
Hey wait a second there!

That could be me a few weeks from now! bite your tongue!

We have like 6 points already!
Cmon, Hank

let’s go yard. You need a 2 HR game!

crap

asked for too much. We are still on good shape though

how many walks for the cubs?

this game?

Buckle up

on to the top of the 9th!

This is odd.

I’m a lookin’ and I’m a likin’.

I bought some new Tetras for my aquarium the other day

and had them strapped in like this. Very nice produce should be strapped in too I suppose

Make it a

1-2-3 inning Carslos.

Come on Carlos

3 more, baby!

Shut 'em down

carlos!

Wonder what Lou would have done if they had walked Henry?

Do you think he would have had marmol hit?

Why wouldn't he let Carlos bat?
Burner

Where did ARam come up with that blazing speed?

high socks, of course
He trained with his fighting Roosters this off-season.
We all know that

DeRo is training to be a cage fighter. perhaps he helps?

That mojito commercial

makes me want to dance. I always clap with it

I know what you mean

was at a party the other day and we all started doing it. was fun

Henry K's

To the bottom of the ninth.

I hate this bacardi commercial...

and I love it. I’m so torn.

I think it needs less stupid premise, and more hot girls shaking their hips.

Lets go Marmol!!!
would be freakin grand if the cards could take 1 game
only need 3 more outs
is an insurance run too much to ask?
For sure

Cardinals are a horrible joke of a team, so them winning tonight would be a welcome miracle.

Never Trust The Cardinals To Do What Only The Cubs Can

that’s what grandma always told me

Creeeeeeaaaaaak...

Clang (The sound of Carlos shutting the door.)

sounds like you need to oil the door
Well, you know

it’s been a while with these slippery fish

(Biiiiiig freakin’ metal door.)

Len just jinxed Marmol
I'm hoping the baseball gods didn't hear it
How about a nice and boring ninth?
If it was nice and boring

None of us would be here

ahhhhh....

lead off walks are BAD!

Not as bad as lead off HBPs, though... :)
Hee hee

+1
Shake it off, Carlos!

Why? Same result in fewer pitches.
(referring to our bad luck in games where Woody leads off the ninth with a HBP)
Where did that 1-2 pitch miss
i dont want to be premature,

but his slider looks back

None of us want to be premature.

Sometimes fate chooses us.

Hopefully Marmol getting a chance

to close games is the conidence booster he needs down the stretch

Cub fans are letting Uggla hear it
after that ASG display he needs more than that
boy he's gonna remember the All Star game
A nice boring lead-off BB.
Uggla owes us a DP here
not a good start

...but let’s have a good finish!!

leadoff walk never good
Pat about Uggla: "He really is a good fielder"

uh, not really

And I'm really a good seamstress.
Well,

He’s pretty good… just had a reeeeeeeely bad day at the ASG.
I felt a little bad for him (but more bad for us).

I am officially stressing out
Prove it.

Show us the certificate.

dude, chill .. It's the Cubs.

This is the year and the Cubs are real.

guess it's never easy to end a 10 game losing steak
Of course not especially if we are playing the Marlins
Ronny's having a meltdown on the radio
I know...

Im worried about him making it thru the year :(

Where did that Pepto go???
Too late to start drinkin
Now in the ninth

The Cards have recorded one out

One out

for brewers in ninth

Settle down

carlos.

Take him out

He’s reverting back to this walk everyone garbage. At least get someone ready, the kids’ unstable.

and go with???
Oh gawd!!!!!!!!!!!
I think Santo

is about to have a stroke

If he doesn't

I will

marmolllllllll
Um...please stop walking people Carlos.
Can we please get someone up in the pen?

Marshall could maybe get it done? This is freaking me out

Oh Boy

The floodgates are ready to open.

Why is it never easy?
Good lord,

the duck and dog are in love!

i smell a DP ...
please, please, pretty please
We need to finish this soon! I have to leave in like 2 minutes!!!
Hardy

singles. One on, one out.

Carlos=angry.
Hardy single for the Brewers

Man on first one out

Marmol

and pressure just dont go together

Well, except for right then.
call to the pen

phew

Larry's on the phone.
He can't

throw that slider unless he’s got two strikes.

K!!!!

that’s one!

Braun just homered

bREWERS LEAD 4-3.

Unreal how bad the Cards bullpen is
Izzy gave it up AGAIN, huh?
oy vey

one disaster at a time plz

Then that K by Marmol

is even bigger!

I hate to day this, but if StL had a closer they would be ahead of us

by like 6 games. Thank god for Izzy and the rest of their bullpen

If the Brewers can put a fork in the Cardinals

that wouldn’t be a bad thing. The top two teams in the Central should go to the playoffs. I want the Cubs to be the Central champ rather than the Wild Card, of course, but I can’t stand the thought of being third.

1 out

good deal

updata please
COME ON CARLOS two MO!
Big K!!!!

Sit down Hanley!!!!

"That was big oh my god " Ronnie
Gah!!!!

I have to go.

Mad Cubs love from Cali! GET IT DONE CUBS!!!!

See you all later. fingers crossed

One down!

Santo “That was big!” Earth shattering analysis.

End it Carlos!

Way to blow

it Cards, gawd you suck!!!!

Give em' the heater! PLEASE!
Carlos channeling Carlos.

Yelling, muttering…hide the Red Bull!!!

now we have them
Yesss!

2 more! You can do it, Carlos.

now a slider/DP and we can hopefully all breathe again
Hey guess what?

Ryan Braun just homered giving the Brewers a 4-3 lead in the ninth.

who gave it up?
Franklin
man, they don't have anyone who can close
did Braun really just homer?

no way

Braun homered

MLW up 4-3 in top 9

Cards blew it

in the 9th. Almost on cue. Worst team in baseball right now.

personally until this game is over...

dont care about cards/brewers

Watching Brewers/Cards here

I’m multi tasking

I am a firm beleiver that our boys hold

Their own destiny.

i agree with you

When the games over… then I be annoyed that I actually wanted cards to win and they didnt

Ok two out now smart play by marmol
yESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
whew!

that throw to second made me NERVOUS.

uno mas uno mas uno mas
cmon, cmon....
please please please me...
Anyone know what's happening in the STL-MIL game?

I keed, I keed.

you don't want to know
Come on Carlos
come on marmy
go get em Carlos ..
Lets not walk Utnac
No shame in walking Cantu here
Let's go get Helms!
My Cards fan brother is

puking a little in his mouth right now. He was just complaining about the Crapinals bullpen.

Apologies to the women and children in the thread for dropping this.

We just need one

Throw something besides a slider

Len loves those credits
Ugh, he's like Dempster closing last year

ALWAYS has to make it interesting. Good for TV, bad for our health,

possible an intentional unintentional walk?
Please end this game now.
marmol, get it done! come one
get

the oxygen!

Two strikes on him!
well, isn't this just like the Cubs?

never easy!!! LOL

here comes the dirt ball
at least he's using the hastball
hast makes waste.
C'mon, Carlos!
He needs to throw that fastball for strikes
how pitch at bat is this?
Why is it never easy?
Its the Cubs way
Ronnie wants to hide!
slider should do it here
Great Moogly Googly!
DIRTBALL. do it.
darn. he did.
Haven't been around tonight, don't know if this has been mentioned

but I like Al’s little quips at the beginning of a new thread tonight. Never liked the, “Just about Kerry Wood time,” just seemed like bad karma or something. “Go cubs go,” is much better.

6 now
seems like more I would guessed 10
Feelin K here...
I hate foul balls right now just swing and miss you bastard
from you fingers to mountain top
Your wish is Carlos' command!
And now...

we are the second team in MLB to 60 wins (Tampa trailing late). What a great start they had to struggle like they have recently and still be in that position!

Yes!!

Photobucket

I was refering to him in the last thread

glad he made it!

I have a man crush on that man
god its good to see him again!
Can't.... breathe....

talking… like… Shatner…

Just got home

what I miss?

Hank White homerun
Woo Hoo!

Thx…

CUBS WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS CUBSSSSS WINNNNNNNNNNN
Strike 3! Cubs WIN!!!!!!
YES!

CUBS WIN CUBS WIN CUBS WIN!!!!!

Got him!!

Fly it!!!!!

CUBS WIN!!! CUBS WIN!!!!
Will take the win

that was scary

DAMN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How can I be so nervous

with a 3 run lead? Heart is still pounding. Yay Carlos!

and this is only July

imagine september

honestly

I’m going to have to start taking my mother’s anti-anxiety medication.

That's why I wish we could just open up a big lead

...and coast. OTOH if the Cards get crushed and fall back to reality, it won’t be as hairy.

we did

in Houston that one night. Maybe tomorrow.

I mean, a big lead in the division

not a lead in a single game.

ah.

I have bet a $20 donation to Project 3000 that the Cubs will be up by 8 by the end of August.

It would be nice.

that poor lady was praying i think

YAY!!!!
whew, eh?

first complete win I’ve seen in a while.

I admit I was

sitting on the edge of my seat.

am i the o nly one who thinks Charlies Angels?
that's pretty cool.
Marmol's gotta get the day off tomorrow at least

two days in a row, 36 pitches today

38 pitches for Marmol

looks like that Guadin for closer tomorrow

I think so

or hope we don’t need a closer tomorrow.

Squish the fish!!!!

Yay, Marmol!

Saved our (and your own) bacon!

OK... that's disturbing!
I threw up

in my mouth a little bit.

Those trixies...

when will they stop?

Lets have our rally caps on for the Cards/
radio didnt play go cubs go :(

“pouts”

Use my link

http://www.princesskatherine.net/gocubs.html

or this one is cool...

http://youtube.com/watch?v=DrlLmTh32KI

thanks but still that is the perfect way to end a win

hearing the crowd etc.

Ugh Cards give up two in the 9th????
Braun homer.
Maybe Cards'll tie it...

and they’ll end up playing 18… :)

^^^^^

Learning to be optimistic. :)

good thinkin

still time for that bench clearing brawl that gets everyone on both teams suspended

Make em say unhhhh, nananana

this is my background at present time

LOVE IT!!!!

Come on dirty birds!

for the love of all thats holy!

Thus endeth a streak

Fish fry tonight starts the Cubs’ winning streak against the Marlins!

just think the next time z pitches I'll be there

first game of the year. Is it Tuesday yet???????

Can't do it

Can’t root for the Cardinals. No way!

Gots to

just for tonight

Any easier...

to root against the Brewers?

I can try that

(Can they both lose?)

LOL

Would be enjoyable to watch.

Im starting to hate the brewers more than the cardinals
The Cardinals don't have a prayer.

The Brewers are going to be our nemesis all the way into the playoffs.

Can anyone figure out approximately

who will be pitching the Sept 19th game? thats the one I will be at. Should be HUGE. Vs the Cards

Gotta catch a good

glimpse of Gail Fishcer to see if she looks preggers.

What do you think?
Is she?

Or is she not?

bump are you concerned it could be yours?
Or that she's cheating on me...:)
To me she's

always looked thick around the waist but she looks a lot thicker now. She very well could be.

One out for the Brew Crew

Glaus k’s swinging.

LOL@me

Swearing at gameday like a lunatic during the bottom of the ninth

Question

Do we really want the Cards to win, or should we be hoping to make this a 2 team race and battle it out till the end?

I'd rather have breathing room
Glaus strikes out

one down. Ludwick up.

Two out

Ludwick strikes out

DeRo's catch was #1 web gem!
And Cedeno's play was #5.
Ludwick k's looking

2 outs.

Brews win

damn

setting up the collision...

in Sausage town.

Wow...

there’s a sentence that need never be uttered again. LOL

next week's series is HUGE
literary the moment brew crew won

brewer friend logged on messanger

That's horrible

in Charles barkley voice

LaRue strikes out

brewers win, cards fans booing.

Jason LaRue k's swinging

Brewers win.

Looks like

a two-team race.

?????????????????

With 9 weeks left

Cardinals bullpen

is blowing up and hitters are slumping. This may be the sign that they are falling out of the race.

you may be right

but never under estimate Tony

The Cardinals suck.

It’s nothing short of miracle that they stuck around this long.

Well...

Go ‘Stros now…

I wouldn't count on those bums
Game Over

Brew Crew win. Took a look at the replay of Braun’s homer. Looked like he cadillaced it around 1st and Pujols certainly had some words for him.

He admired it a little too long

I saw that for sure. He seems to be a little arrogant

Oh - I bet LaRussa has someone plug him

in the earhole, next time they play.

You acn count

on it!!!

wow - he certainly did admire it, didn't he?

Shark is getting called up!

The Shark is on his way to Chicago
Sweet!!!

He may be closing tomorrow.

Was just about to say it

He is gonna be thrown into the fire tomorrow unless Dempster goes complete game

WHERE IS MY BEER!!!

I had this called! I had this CALLED!

samar?
shark is earsier than trying to spell it
I get a malt from someone. just wish i knew who lol
That would be BartlettBob

He offered up the friendly wager of “1 Beer / Pepsi / Malt Cup” that Shark is NOT in the bullpen before September 1st. You called him on it.

Cardinals are a joke.

And their fans are the worst. Persecution/inferiority complex, whining about everything, pretending they actually enjoy where they live, etc. The worst.

All I know is Card fans show up in good times and bad.
So do Cubs fans

What’s your point?

That IS my point. Very few teams have fans that show up ALL the time!
They think they are the best fans in baseball and some have told me that they would never boo their team.

Bet they booed tonight

They did
Ha! Just goes to show that all fan bases are created equal
It's all about, what have you done for me lately?
Next time they are on national tv just watch how hard the fans try to prove themselves.

Standing ovations for random outs and runs scored when down 8 runs. Its out of control, I have always thought that if you don’t like how your team is playing then you can say something about it.

I AM SERIOUS

There is someone out there. SOMEONE who was betting beers and milkshakes that this wouldnt happen. WHERE ARE YOU?

i bet the milkshake........
I know

Who owes us? I am gonna collect!

you want you beer. lol
I drink your milkshake

I drink it up!!!!

Dude

we have gots to talk.

LOLLOLOLOLOLOLOL
a malt... is what it will be ok
There should be a law against that.
I know

I am offended.

be nice...i'm sure it's really just McDonald's and TV's fault.
You know

the camera adds ten pounds.

How many cameras were they using?

LOL! HA!
Thank you thank you

I’m here all week!!!!!!!!

http://www.instantrimshot.com/
uh...

well, it’s visually arresting…

There Will Be Blood?
BartlettBob offered up the friendly wager

of “1 Beer / Pepsi / Malt Cup” that Shark is NOT in the bullpen before September 1st.

Pony up the malt cup with lots of spoons!

Hey, he did say ONE Beer / Pepsi / Malt Cup. Everyone gets to share ONE malt cup. :)

Sounds like there's a heavy breather in the interview room.
Wow - there is...

that’s bad.

(sorry – I’m Tivo Lagging).

They booed

louder than I have ever heard

Love the question...

Reporter: “You used one pitcher for seven innings, and then 4 pitchers for 2 innings…?”

Lou: “And we won the ballgame, didn’t we?”

Heh heh.

Probably

paul Sullivan

I know Sully wants to take the bump
Might be better

than Howry

if you were gong to sum up lou

thats prolly the quote you’d use, huh?

“wasn’t pretty, but we won”

let it be

all the way through october. Ugly wins beat pretty losses every day of the week.

definitely
Just like when my wife met me

it doesn’t have to be pretty, just effective.

is that how you knew she'd be a keeper?
Hopefully Astros

can jump all over

man, the Astros are a team full of chumps though

Hope they can muster up some effort.

Case anyone was wondering

DeRo’s catch was the #1 webgem on bbtn & cedeno’s diving grab was #3.

:-)

bill logged on the minute the brewers won *rolling my eyes*
ha!

that figures

Figures?....see my previous post.
Nooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
no. i'm good

already half blind you see..

I cant wait for Aug 19-24th,

I only hope the games are half this good

only 4.5 innings?
HA HA

Just this entertaining

How about we win them all 12-2
yeah

a nice easy laugher.

Shark's website must be getting LOTS of hits

it’s really running slooooowwwww.

Looks like tpday's entry is gone from his blog,

wonder if the Cubs made him delete it?

die fish die

jeez

can we cook them first?

yes..

he hasn't learned that if you are here

no one else is winning.

Striped bass I believe...

the big one..

time for bed

cubs fans! the best fans in baseball!

Let’s win tomorrow!

nighty night

I am headed that way too with visions of Soto dancing in my head…

and what a vision that is
thats what Im thinking *blush"
night drew!
night guys

It sure was fun, lets do it again tomorrow!!!

how many comments can they get on these threads?

dang .. sixhundred and going strong

ive seen 700+
we've cracked 800 a few times

i think.

Lunchtime

And thus Beer O’Clock here…........mmmmm.

I took a looksie at VivaElBirdo

They want to kill Ryan Braun. If you get a chance. Take a look at the showboat act he puts on in StL. Don’t like him. Not one bit. Talented ballplayer, but a jackass. Gotta be in the Cards corner on this one.

you ever track them down... lemme know ok LOL
I am SERIOUS!

I never call stuff like that. Honestly I was talking out my ass and for once I was right.

that makes two of us.

thats why I didnt pay attention to who it was LOL

Exactly!!!

I am checking game threads. What night was that?

I was being snarky LOL

no idea dude… this week sorta all jelled together

I searched it and FOUND IT!!!

Bartletbob owes us SOME BEER and a MALT!

dont think he is a regular thro :(

but thanks for finding it :)

OH I am gonna find him.

My happy ass doesnt drive 200 miles a day and pay 4 bucks a gallon, not to get my free anything.

omg 200 miles a day? what do you for a living?
It is a really long story.

I am from Chicago, had a great job as a tutor, applied to med-schools all over, only one I got into was in Milwaukee. So in the summers I continue to work in Chicago, but live in Milwaukee. Crazy at times.

Tutoring is more lucrative than I thought it ever could be.

Cardinals shouldn't whine about showboating because Pujols does it all the time.

We shouldn’t either because Soriano and Aramis do it.
Every team has a showboat or two.

NO! this was different than Pujols

This was a photo opp

I think you are using sarcasm

But I have seen Pujols stand and watch doubles, stand and watch homers when his team is losing, stand and watch game winning homers.

It was bad.

He is too young. nji named Ramirez, Soriano, and Pujols. Multiple allstars. Pujols is a lock hall of famer. Braun is a great young player, but he has a ways to go before he will reach Pujols level.

Don't forget about Z's antics.
I'd rather be the one with the ball

if you know what I mean

He was really stylin out of the box

Tony will NEVER forget it

Tony will run him over

Had to. Sorry.

Yeah

I never though I’d say but I am. Look at this show boat. One guy at Viva El Birdos said he blew a kiss to Ryan Franklin. Next St. Louis series against Milwaukee, I’ll bet 10, 000 dollars his heads coming off the first pitch of his AB.

He didn't blow the guy a kiss but he did take his sweet time

I don’t like when players do that kind of crap, no matter what player. However, it was the perfect moment in maybe one of the best Brewers away series within the last 15 years.

Ryan Braun is a waste of space

Can’t stand that cocky bastard, hopefully he gets whats coming to him

And He Has Weird Eyes

Like they’re too big, or too googly, or something.

well, i stayed up wayyyyy too much this week

and too late to get the highlights on tape last night, but it was worth it

This is the year and the Cubs are real. Night, Cub Nation … and remember what Adam Clayton Powell sez:

Peoria game

I don’t post on here very often, and I did not want to get in trouble for making a new post. So I thought I would put this here. Check out what happened in the Peoria game tonight here in Dayton. I’m sorry if someone already brought this up.

This is proof that I need to check in with The Onion more often!
