Sabathia

LIGHT EM UP

THIRD
I meant 5th
you're always third in our hearts ;-}
oh wow...

been awhile since a have been this excited

Pray preacherman, pray very hard!
TWSS

With pologies to the reverend.

just what i figured...

from a red devil, lol

I don't know if

it’s excitement or nervousness.

i got the milwaukee feed....

:(

sympathies, preacherman

BTW are you really a preacher?

i am in training...

at a bible college…but i do some preaching here and there

preach for a Cubs win tonight
Would you mind praying for my internet connection?

It’s been flaky all day, and I’m on MLB.TV, Brewers feed.

I have direct tv and I have both
Stupid Comcast
Extra Innings

apparently has room for the away feed of the Red Sox game, but this one wasn’t important enough to put up the Cubs telecast.

i'm getting it

on 737

I asked this in the other thread, late...role call of who's here to go the distance tonight??

Me!

I'm sure going to try
I will,

unless in the likely case it’s a blowout which I might go to bed. No use losing sleep over watching bad baseball!

Hopefully I am
I'll be on during commercials.
I'm here, provided the power doesn't go out and my internet connection stays up.

(Raining hard right now, though not hard enough for the sprinklers to turn off.)

Let's try to steal one against CC!
Let's try to steal one against CC
you can say that again.
SBN's been hiccupping of late
Just got home,

and I’m ready for some Cub Baseball!

im disappointed no WGN but oh well.

you guys will keep me posted im sure and i do appreciate the play-by-play

too bad northsider isn't here
cubs win 6-4

im calling it!!!

I am hoping all the pitches CC has thrown will bite him tonight
They look loose! Great sign!
love the Zambrano Fontenot shtick
Wasn't that cute?
hopefully this game isn't going to be as nevre racking as I think it will be...
alright!

let’s DO THIS THING!

Let's make CC throw LOTS of pitches!
or get him out early...

either way is fine for me

Encouraging note from ESPN web site:

Sabathia struggled in his only career start against the Cubs, allowing nine runs and eight hits in 2 1-3 innings for the Indians in a 9-2 loss on June 21, 2006.

Soriano starts 0-2 I am calling it
Okay here we go!!
I just threw up!

now I’m ready.

HR trot by sori

on a double

nice jog, Sori!

sheesh. LOL!

Woulda only been a double anyway...
Nice start for Sori!!
Stop the posing and RUN!!!!!!!!
No kidding...one thing

I don’t care about him.

off the end of the bat too...some power - redicluous
running is good.
I want to win

I want to win and pound Sabathia into submission tonight.

That would be great

I am way tired hearing ESPN rave about how he is the great “difference maker”

I'll take a lead off double
there goes the no-no

:-)

dang CSN audio probs
I thought it was just me
Horrible echo
today... i consider myself...

the luckiest brodcaster… on the face of the earth. earth. earth.

Technical problems with Comcast!

TERRIBLE echo!

AHHHH MY NAMESAKE
is the broadcast going all lou gehrig

on everybody else, too?

It's gone now.

Whew! Thought it was just me.

WTF

ANNOYING, HD has too many downfalls.

"lou gehrig"

ha ha… “today I consider myself the luckiest man on the face of the earth”

Anyone else getting an echo?
Echo!! echo!!

Lol

goodness, this is terrible
roorooroom temtemperatureure ure ure
It's like I'm 23 again tripping on acid.
very aggressive...

i like it

D-Lee foul off his foot...

fans are cheering his injury

Ouch my ears

Lee please be OK

Foul off his knee
And theres the reason i have no respect for brewer fans
Why?

What happened?

Fans cheering after lee limped off a foul ball
Do I hate the Brewers now more than the Cardinals. Is that blasphemy?
unbelievable

they’ve boo’d everyone announced and then cheer when Lee gets hurt?

sick and pathetic.

Thank god the echo is gone!
steal soriano
STEAL!!!!!!

SORI-ANO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love

Jason Kendall

I like Brenly's analysis of Johsnons at bat
OK, Soriano, we forgive you.
I thought you were headed to Milwaukee tonight?
he can run...

NICE!!!
1-0 CUBBIES

Man on 3rd
How 'bout that...
he's got his legs back!
But not his eyes - that clearly wasn't out
I dunno

I think it needed all of another two or three feet of elevation.

Kewl. I was just gonna complain that RJ should have bunted him over
1-0!!!!!!!!!!!!!
1 - 0

DLee!!!!!!!!!

YEEHAW Soriano!!!!! Love the first runs!
Nice work, D-Lee!

RBI single, 1-0!

Woooo!!

First blood! He’s not a machine!!

great 2-strike hitting
Sweet

sweet sweet

Now that's a good sign, Lee going the other way.
Al, are you going to try to watch the whole game?
Try?

As Yoda said: there is no try, only do.

Of course!

I SMELL BLOOD
Easy...
Oh, I'm sorry we scored a run within the first three batters. I won't get excited anymore.
I'm excited too, believe me

It’s a long game, that’s all. Didn’t mean to piss you off.

mlb.tv

anybody elses mlb.tv video playing at a weird size?

Mine is normal

meaning 45 seconds behind.

I'm on a mac right now

It’s fluttering sometimes, making it weird.

I'm at 800K, I think it's the normal size.
Early and often!

Early and often!

yes, please.
Dlee shaved

hence the hitting :)

did he?

does he look younger? stronger?

YESSSSSSSSSSS take that CC

man i am soooo jacked for this series!

big rip by rami
Wow the Cubs are aggressive tonight!

Eat ‘em up!

Keep it up Aram

I think we may need a whole bunch off of C.C. (with periods) tonite

Damn...

That one got me out of my seat

Hello?

Hmph. I show up and everyone leaves? What’s going on?

?????

are you with us all night? That’s what we want to know :D

Got to take a dinner break.

But I may be back.

The site wasn’t updating. Now it is.

we're here.

just give them time loll..

I think we're all still here.
See ya tomorrow night, I hope

Let me re-phrase -

At Wrigley for the Chiefs game

Here...

Just eating some dinner myself.. Good start!

we're all here, Al...
I love the take it right too him

agressiveness

LETS GO CUBS!!

He just missed that one...
For what it's worth...

...every time I see your name, I think of Jimmy John’s and it makes me hungry. I spite you!

Dan

I am a Jimmy John's addict......#12 mmmmmm
#4 for me.

Love Jimmy John’s.

Get you a a samwich Danny boy... get you a samwich!
nice gork for soto
Gameday had the ball over the wall
broken bat single
Goods swings against CC to start the game!

Gotta score a couple more ‘cause I bet he’ll settle down.

I'll take it
Bloop hit

LETS GO DERO!!!!!

Can anyone tell if there are many Cubbie fans at the park?
Seems like a lot

You can tell there’s a lot behind home plate, and there were Cubs chants that I could hear.

come on dero....

dont stop the train

Apparently the game plan was to swing early..

Not let him make his pitch to put you away. I like it.

love how this is starting out.... let's keep the momentum going....
Im liking the early

hitters counts

1 – 0, 2 – 0 excellent so far!

this is an EXCELLENT start!
Honestly, I was just typing the same thing drew...
Great minds think alike!
We're charging!
Pat and Ron say something is wrong..

Not running right…

who?
Lee,

fouled a ball off his leg.

HA HA!

We sound like a bunch of owls!

Everybody bats!
Galvan - do u update your sig every at bat
nope everyday

Dont wanna jinx it lol

c mon DeRo

Whaddya say kid?!?

Come on Teddy...hold 'em.
+1

Hope he brought his A game tonight.

me too

I’m so nervous I can hardly type.

Same here...

like a long tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs….

what was his pitch count

i lost track

Ok Lilly no gofer balls tonight
gopher
You want me to kill all the gophers?
Excuse but if we kill all the golfers

they’re gonna lock us up and throw away the key

"Correct me if I'm wrong Sandy, but if I kill all the golfers, they're gonna lock me up and throw away the key... "
Ay, ya Greek! The gophers, not the golfers!!!
We can do that; we don't even have to have a reason. All right, let's do the same thing, but with gophers -!
Then do it, man!
c.c.

i.s. p.i.t.c.h.i.n.g. A.L.O.T.

no periods between C and C
i know

i thoguht it might upset him…like he is gonna see that i put that

DeRo

strug-ga-ling.

why not Fontenot at 2B? just askin’

Think CC is REALLY tough on lefties, anybody have the stats?
lefty righty thingy..
Methinks that DeRo can't wait for July to end...

But, if the other guys get hot, he’ll follow.

He'll come around soon...

too good a hitter not too…

Cedeno is playing 2B tonight. What does DeRo have to do with it?
Great start, as far as momentum goes...

CC

1 IP
3 H
1 ER
20 pitches

We have to get to the Brewers pen
thanks for the updated stats

was wondering with gameday being so slow

Ya I'll keep CC updates going
Gameday is soooo slooowwww,

How many pitches?

Good start..

plus C.C had 20 pitches that inning. Make him do that every inning we’ll be in the bullpen early.

Getting a run early

on an ace feels real good. (Need more though)

Lets hope C.C Pitches

For this game like he pitches in most big games.

Wilts like a hot house flower

That's a rather broad statement.

He pitched lots of big games last year, enough to win the Cy Young!

Not so well in the playoffs

If i recall

20 pitches for him already, a good sign for us
Let's go Lilly

Need a career performance

Great start!
good morning, good afternoon, good night!
LILLY K's WEEKS!!!
Sit down!!

One away!!

Who's yer daddy

Rickey?

Take a seat Rickie!
K!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Grab some pine meat!

(at least thats what Krukow says on Giants radio)

2 Down!
No fair!

I have a 30 second delay!

just stick with us, you'll get real time updates :)
Thanks!

I knew I could count on you!

This is so bad that Gameday is at least one pitch ahead of MLB.TV.

Rickie WEAKS! Whoo-hoo!
ohmygoodness we look GOOOD
SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!
don't wanna jinx it!
amplifying the mojo, making it BIG
Braun makes me nervous
Especially lately. He's been on a tear.
booooooooooooooooo braun
Ugh, why isn't Cedeno starting at SS

More athletic and he has a laser, rocket arm compared to Theriot. Put The Riot at 2nd.

I don't understand why Lou can't see this.

Theriot could be a useful player—at 2B.

We should put Peyton Manning at ss. Now he has a laser, rocket arm.
Wonder that myself...

Lou doesn’t want to bruise Ryan’s ego I guess…

I picked Braun on mlb.com's Beat the Streak
jerk

lol jk

I felt like I would win either way
8-0 Cardinals
Wow, that might even be enough cushion

for the Cardinal’s bullpen.

AAAACK APOSTROPHE VIOLATION

sorry. Cardinals’ bullpen.

Braun walks

The Big Vegeterian up to bat

Geo should start talking about hamburgers to distract him!
Maybe stick some bacon in his chest protector
That would be the unintentional intentional walk.
wow Fielder is FAT!
5'11''

270 POUNDS

That's about..

1 1/2 Fontenot’s.

to many veggie burgers?
dont forget

soy sausages…think that they might put that in their sausage raace in honor of him

I guess it's proof that vegetarian diets

aren’t necessarily more healthful nor do they contribute to weight loss. After all, ice cream is vegetarian…

butter, cheese, cream....

there’s vegetarian and then there’s vegetarian

There's vegetarian and then there's Vegan
Good God he is.

BCB needs that “Feed Fielder Big Macs” game, again. But except for Big Macs, he cuts the middle man and eats cows whole.

requisite article

sorry new to this. hopefully link will post

the onion

I like Ryan Braun, to tell you the truth.

Especially how he stared down the 2R-HR(I believe) he had against the Cardinals at Busch Stadium last week. I thought that was badass.

he's on my fantasy team fwiw
Traitor!
so are soriano, a-ram, and woody

rule: no cardinals allowed, or phillies

Funny!

I have fantasy rules imposed on myself too! I don’t have anybody I can’t root for which means no rivals and no players I don’t like.

i cant

stand the guy.

Problem was it only made the first row, he started to run after he saw it may not make it
Anyone know the latest on Wood?
Yes, remains on the DL - maybe for longer than anyone expected.

All Lou said ‘so far’ today was he will NOT come off tomorrow.

He said he was ready to cut the fiinger off

and do a 3-finger mordicai (sp?) brown impression

Threw with some type of sleeve on his finger...

today and felt fine, but it hurt when he threw with it off. I say this with as much affection as possible, but only Kerry Wood could have a blister that takes this long to heal.

That's not fair.

Any pitcher could get one of those. It’ll be fine. Eventually.

I agree that it'll be fine eventually.

I wasn’t saying that he lacks toughness or anything like that, I mean, if it hurts, it hurts. It just seems like it’s taking forever since they originally said it would take about a week to heal.

Fielder. A vegetarian?

My butt he’s on a vegetarian diet, he’s bigger than he was last year. Look at him, he looks like Rerun from “What’s hapenning?”

its all the oils and nuts

those things are fatty

Obviously candy bars are not off his diet plan.
Being a vegetarian has nothing to do with how much you weigh.
hey HEY hey!

lol

He's a vegetarian between the hours of No-Way and I'mHungry
Come on, Ted

At 20 pitches all of a sudden.

Ugh..

Here comes another 3 hour game.

Do you have to get up early tomorrow?
crap..come on Ted
Fielder single

runners on 1st and 3rd

It's ok, Teddy will get out of this...
audio

does anyone have an audio link to the game? I’m in Hawaii and can’t see it, but i’d love to listen to it! Thanks

If you have MLB's Gameday Audio like me

link is on here http://mlb.mlb.com/mediacenter/index.jsp#20080728

sigh

unfortunately i don’t have it. I am deployed with the navy so much, it doesn’t make sense to spend the money on it. But i wish i did have it at times like this!

It seems really important to shut them down here
yeah we need to keep the momentum
Come on Teddy...
That would be because we are facing CC Sabathia
Damn, good AB by Fielder

I still can’t get over by how fat this guy is.

Jesus, go take a lap around the block you fat tub of lard.

he should run in the sausage race
hes going to have

a short career if he doesnt do something about his weight

Michael Sweetney, is this you?
his dad was fine for like 20 years
his dad weighed less

and played till he was 34

This approach

ain’t working. Ted looks afraid of these guys.

Didn't he strike out 3?

Man, he’s REALLY afraid!

THEODORE ROOSEVELT (LILLY) ISN'T AFRAID OF ANYTHING
2 Ks

26 pitches

Come on Teddy!

Strike him out!

CHASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
for those of you watching, where was that first pitch to hart?

looked good on gameday.

Corey: take a seat.
SIT DOWN!!

Teddy gets out of it!

sit down!!!!!!!!!
Whew!!!!!

More runs please!!!!!

If we get 7 or 8 tonight

I’ll feel pretty good LOL

All I'm asking for is one more run than the Brewers score. Is that asking too much?
Actually, that is the perfect request.
I'll be

tickled shitless

26 pitches is too much
To be fair

He did have to battle against Fielder somewhat

+1
we sure don't want to tax the bullpen on game one....dang...

Still, I’ll take 3 strikeouts….

Hart and his bad flesh-colored beard

strike out chasing.

THAT’S WHAT YOU GET FOR BLOWING THE ALL-STAR GAME, TURD!!!!

This is going to come down to a test of contrition

between the bullpens

too early to say that

w/sabathia on the mound especially – but i think we make him struggle through 6 and ted makes it 6 IP 3ER for a quality start and our pen holds (fingers crossed)

haha

i love listening to the results 5 seconds after everyone on here goes “YES!!”

That is nice

I hate it when I see “poop” and a few seconds later hear why.

26 pitches

and too many ABs in that first. Happy for the goose egg, tho :)

I have a feeling that if we are in good shape with Ted, Lou will leave him in longer
Only a few more than CC

And Ted usually gets stronger the longer he goes.

yes he does
Wow. Was that really only 1 inning?
I'm calling it...

DeRo will be 0-2, then will come up with a big hit his third time up.

(Remember, I was 1.5 out of 3 yesterday.)

you were, but did any of your predictions involve DeRo?
No, except as one of "the guys".
Ronny seems rather calm tonight!

How long do you think it will last?

my wife just asked me the definition of southpaw or how it came about

A left-handed individual may be known as a southpaw, particularly in a sports context. It is widely accepted that the term originated in the United States, in the game of baseball.[24] Ballparks are often designed so that batters are facing east, so that the afternoon or evening sun does not shine in their eyes. This means that left-handed pitchers are throwing with their south-side arm.

had to look it up
smart lady to ask such a smart question!
I thought it meant Rocky Balboa

(I feel so dumb)

That's an old-style thing...

... most older parks like Wrigley were built like that. But at the Cell, for example, home plate faces southeast. Thus a lefthander at the Cell is a “westpaw”.

That's actually the "preferred" orientation, sometimes it just won't fit
TWSS
Sadly, no one has said that to me in my life :(
not suprising the cell was built backwards
alrighty then...

Good start, let’s keep it going… Turn over the line-up this inning.

Damn, that blond announcer is a looker
Even if she works for the Brewers???

Where’s your loyalty, man??? -)

Time to start The Riot
OT - any idea if the regular lots

will be open tomorrow night?

Why wouldn't they be?
Good at bat, made him throw a bunch of pitches.
Look at CC...

his arms are hanging, he’s wiping his brow b/t every pitch… He’s obviously tired…

26 pitches already for him

or out of shape… I know is the reigning CY Young winner, but get in shape..

you make millions, hire a trainer, a chef & someone to follow you around to pull the food out of your hand

Doubtful

Sabathia is a horse. There’s no way the guy is tired from just one inning.

Look at him...

He’s had three complete games in a row…

That's even furthering my statement that he can take a load of a work.
tonight will tell the tale
did he swing at ball 4?
Too hacktastic

take some pitches guys.

dont want to "take"

strike 3

how about ball 1?
didnt look like cc threw ball 1

to cedeno

Lily

not a bad AB so far…

cuz he's the man
was gonna say best of the inning

then he struck out

I like Miller Park... good food, good ambience... unlike the team ;D
Terrible beer though
ya know,

old style is brewed in milwaukee…idk how i feel about that

I'd like Miller Park too

if it wasn’t in Milwaukee, wasn’t home of the Brewers, and wasn’t Miller Park.

I really like their food.

I like that they give you “menus”. You order, and they give you your food. You don’t even have to get up!

CC had to go to his REAL out pitch

to get Lilly. Gotta love Lilly at the plate.

ted's a beast now!

hits, steals bases…soon he goes yard lol

HA NEVER

it would be crazy

never say never!
would love to see his manly homerun trot
The way he runs with his arms swinging

it would be GREAT

1-2-3 inning would

be nice here Ted.

your wish is Teddy's command
At least they got through the pitcher's spot...

Fonzie will lead off the next.

of course we did

the #7 hitter led off the inning (theriot)

way to make him throw

Uncle Ted

yeah that was nice, he swung incredibly easy and fouled off several,

Ted running up the other guys pitch count- what a player!
Now let’s see him with some more Ks here.

Won't complain about a 6 pitch K..

with our pitcher at bat. 25 pitches for C.C thru 2

That can't be right
that cant be right
That's all??

Seems like more.

Lilly had a CG shut out in 2004 so its not completely out of the question
what does twss mean?
That's What She Said
That's what she said
that's what she said

from The Office

That's what Sabathia said.

He’s “open” to a lot of things.

C C @ 35 pitches

If we can get a couple of runs one inning, that # should jump to the 50’s easy.

A lot of comments for this big game.

Imagine if we get to October

Or later...gulp
am pretty sure if we do no one will be in front of their pc
I will, I don't like bars.
1st Pitch OUT? YEAH
Damn Gameday - lol
We should stop thinking about CC

and focusing on ted and the offense

+1
OMG!

thats like my first +1 ever!

God

I love Ted Lily.

Almost 500 comments in 40 minutes. WOW!
Yup, we're gonna need a third overthread, I predict
3 pitches...2 outs
btw...

my grandpa was a preacherman :-)

awesome!!!

demonination?

LOL @ the slip

“demon”ination

off the boat Irish

Methodist

very cool...

my mom and dad are methodist

we got the mojo
These threads in a WS scenario are going to be HUGE!!!
Yeah we're going to need 4 or 5 overflows

Though I’ll probably not be at the computer if we’re in the WS

Crazy even

May need a thread every half hour

We should be running all day and all night on Kendall
LET'S GO TED LILLYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

woo

Just finished a supper of Totino's frozen pizza....and we are up 1!!!

Must be lucky to eat the cheap food before a big series…..

Party Pizza... MMMMMMM.
and now it's time to go broil me some smelts
Smelt.... MMMMMMMMMM.
love me some smelts!

still have cole slaw left?

constant supply

I be the cole slaw queen

Let's get Kendall

and start the next inning with Pork-n-Beans

FRANKS N BEANS?!

HAF U THEEN MY BAITHBALL?

Kendall: Yer OUT!!!
tahnk god kendall has no power
Can I just say that it is REALLY good to see Kendall NOT in the Cubs uni?

That little hanging arm thing to start his at-bat. And then he hits a full-power fly ball out. He is terrible.

9 pitch inning

Not bad Teddy!!

Nice fast inning.

EXCELLENT!

and to the 3rd we go

lets see some SBs!

Nice inning by Lilly
34 pitches at the end of 2 for Ted
that did a lot to calm my nerves after a 25-pitch first
Is anyone from this board at the game?
If the game's in Kansas, and in my apartment, then yes. I'm at the game.
BULLDOG!!!! Looks good so far!!!!
soriano does a sideways/backwards hop

he’s gonna give me a heart attack

Why?

Dude, his injury earlier this year was a timebomb of an injury. He was bumming off that leg for a couple of weeks before he went on the DL

it's just a habit that I've never liked

you’re right about the earlier injury. I’m glad that his finger injury gave his legs a lot of time to heal

Yeah, so did I.

Him being on the injury was actually a positive in that way.

Wow, Lilly threw 8 pitches in that inning

Noice.

that's how you go deep into games
what's Sabathia at

for pitches?

I'm more excited about getting into their bullpen than I am worried about getting into ours
WTF

Why the hell isnt this game on ESPN….

it is wednesday i believe
The Red Sox are on of course!
SORIANO!!!!!

YES!!!!

2-0.....love it
SORIANO!!!!!! HOMERUN
THAT SHIT IS GONE!
Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
YESSSSSSSSSSS

We are ROCKING MILLER

ALF

OWNS CC’s BACON!

Milwaukee announcers don't like the Fonz'

trott… waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

Ya and the braun trot was so much more acceptable
in the words of justin timberlake

“cry me a rii-VA!” in a super-metrosexual singing voice

Woo Hoo! Sori!!
SORIANO!!!!!!!!!!

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

(giggle) Isn't this fun?
yes it is :D
SORIANOOOOOOO-NO-NO-NO-NOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

There goes Soriano loafin' around the bases again.
did he give braun a look?

or was it my imagination?

What a guess-hitting hack!!

lol

Sori..... I love you....
Nice, right in soris hot zone
SORI GETS REVENGE FOR CC MAKING HIM LOOK STUPID IN THE FIRST!!
um, I think he made himself look stupid
w/e, now CC looks stupid :)
YESSS!!

Get in Sibathia’s head early!

AWESOME! HE IS BACK!

Drink this, Brewers!
Yeah baybeeee! gotta love it!
2 bad ab's by RJ
Now

we these other guys to take a few pitches. Those next two guys were gone too quick.

Nice throw from Hardy
I think one of Sori's pattened hot streaks has begun....
don't get penis-y
Sabathia had 35 pitches through 2, not 25.

Obviously, it’s more now.

Cub fans are REALLY loud there!

44 pitches now
now Jacob is gonna get you for saying that!
Nice to hear them
Aramis went WAY out of the zone on that one
we gotta stay on CC and not let him settle down
CC

so wanna see his first loss with the Brewers to the Cubs.

come on Aramis!!
the milwaukee announcer

just messed up and said ramirez can hit the bacon….

Ueker said that?
not sure who...

he meant to say, breaking, but said bacon…

Anyone else watching on

Extra innings with the brewers feed? Had to lower the sound. Couldn’t deal with the brewers announcers

im listening still....

dont know why

listen to the WGN radio feed

watch on the mosaic

OMIGAWD LETS BOO THE CALL EVEN THOUGH

WE’RE IN THE OUTFIELD!

any reason

Theriot isnt batting second? I thought he was doing well there

RJ has a good history against CC
Too bad he's

only seen like 3 pitches.

lou is a evil mad genious
Thank you Lord, it is GREAT to have A-Fon back!!
We're STILL on pace for a 9-0 game!
yeah 2 runs in two innings

great great start against CC

??

We have 2 runs in 3 innings…

You might of guessed it right.

But I wouldn’t mind if they got more than one run in some of the innings, really I wouldn’t.

It wasn't me

I wish I remembered who it was so I could give them due credit

Alright Teddy.

Hold ‘em down again.

Brenly's

high. There’s always a good reason to run up a pitcher’s PC. It’s called the bullpen. No wonder he isn’t managing anymore.

especially the brewers' bullpen
Lets get some more guys on base and run on Kendall all day...
I think Kendall's having a good year throwing guys out, actually...
Any way we can get the 2nd thread up?
New one's up in less than 20 min
That's what you said.
And this is what you said
said dtpollitt
This could go on forever
i wanna say something
Already?

OK, gimme a sec.

We just figured out

our seats in Sept. are behind the Brewers dugout. I hope I can get some good pictures then in the Cubs dugout.

Wow

Reading briefly over at a certain opposing-teams-SBNation-blog-site, I read this comment:

“2 run deficit against Lilly and ‘pen? Not really worried.”

That is funny coming from the Brewers claptrap of a bullpen.

I hope CC gets shelled…

Al

Quick question for you is there anyway, to stop the predictive text in the subject line?

What predictive text?

Have been trying to be more generic. Got any suggestions?

I’m off to post the first overflow.

Pretty sure that's a browser thing, not a website thing
not a good start to the inning
C'mon weeks

Double Play allright?

deal

from: rickie weeks

still waiting for him to uphold his end of the bargain
ALMOST!!!!!
agh!

if he were slower it would have worked

More scouting on CC after 4 games + more pressure on CC in this game + fonzie's back = ????
I made an overflow

until the first one posts…

Overflow until 8:15

I think Al is

going to post the 8:15 one now

nm, didn't see Al's in the house
If we can get Aram on track and Fontenot back in the lineup, then I think a win streak can start again.
And Lee on track as well
true

both lee and aram are starting to hit a bit, especially Dlee – aram is fluttering around .271, that HAS to be better

Fontenot is a

bench player. Nothing more

Pretty darn good one though
Would be a nice platoon with Theriot at 2nd.

Just my opinion.

winning tonight would make this a winning streak
WTF?
Tough throw by Lee

Tailed away from Cedeno

arent fontenot & pedroia similiar players?
pedroia is hitting over .400 the last two months

NO, they aren’t

Batting average is way overrated.

I’d compare there OPS and I bet they are close.

i would say

No

Bad D

all around there. ugh.

shoulda had em

Ronny's getting fired up!
Ronny Cedeno?

Or Santo? Sorry, not watching the game.

That's at least the 3rd time this year that Lee

hasn’t been able to make a good throw or no one was at 2nd. Need some work on that!
