n/t

Why Lou?...Why?
He's gotta get rid of Quade
GENERIC HYPERBOLE!
Just got in

Lets get another Comcast Sports Net comback win

Ronny! Way to get the rally started
Nice hit, Ronny.

Let’s win this thing. I’m getting off the computer, must get ready to sleep. But I intend to watch the end of the game.

Working tomorrow?
Fukudome

is due.

Dome has no chance vs. CC
O rly?
I love it when I'm wrong!
Say Soriano has no chance...

2 for 2?

No chance!
And by no chance you meant a chance?

n/t

Anyone warming up for us?

“watching” the graphic display on MLB game day and can’t tell…

Howry
thx

get the alka seltzer ready…

It will be interesting to see who goes in the 8th today if we get the lead
Yes Sir! Lets Go Alfonso!
Fukudome!

some luck our way…sweet.

Get your pitch

Alfonso…get your pitch

time to earn your salary Soriano.....
That California Redwood bat saved him right there
jesus

sabathia is hitting 95 mph @ 110 pitches

just don't make an out
CC at 110 pitches....
fonzie protecting well
Well he kind of advanced the runners right there
swung at ball 4 three times
Thats what he does for better or for worse
swung at ball 4, 5, and 6.
Yep, too amped up
after seeing that many pitches he Ks?

oh well, he’s had a good night…next man up…”way to be aggressive”

everyone in the stadium knew he was swinging
We just need a base hit, hell I will take a sac fly
Brewers announcers..."every close call has gone for the Cubs"...

What????

Bring in Jimmy Ballgame.

Yost is really a moron.

deep fly ball please
take a HPB too
Gamecast says 2 outs?
False, unless they are ahead of TV lol
Wrong....1 out...
think he pitches around rj to get to dpdlee?
Swinging too hard!
No...too high!
that too!

Good eye Reed! bags full for DLee!

Bases loaded!!
WALK!!!!

Ok D-Lee lets get this thing done

BB for CC ;-)
loaded for lee - 1 out!
Please don't GIDP

Please, please

please

please

Don’t GIDP

Dump it into RF!
COME ON DLEE!!!
Crunch Time

Time to put up or shut up D-Lee

Yay, Ned!

Let’s burn up your new extra-special pitcher in his first 5 games. Let’s do another complete game. Who cares about the pitch count?

I say let him go 200
Abso-freakin-lutely!
If he does hit into one, I am breaking this laptop in half
Dammit Lee!!!!!!! No clutch!!!!

1 and 2 on Lee…

All CC has left that he can control is his fastvball just sit on it and crank it somewhere
A grand salami would win the sausage race . . .
C'mon CC walk a run in to tie it.

Announcers: “You wanted drama…here it is…”

Come on Lee

PLEASE!!!!!

My heart can't take this

My left arm is going numb

Solid AB here

HAHAHAHAHA!!

Error!! BRewers choke!!
Ground into......a lead!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
DPDLEE!!!!!!!
Cubs lead 4-3
nice slide RJ breaking up the 2!!!
That was awesome
i would say that was RJ

forcing that error

Error : Cubs score two!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

that was soooo lucky!!!!

I would say we

were due for some of that

We needed a Break!
great slide into 2b
DLee gets lucky

Wow, this place would have burned down I’m afraid with a DP…

No Kidding!

My heart was in my stomach when he hit it to short!

BAHAHAHAHAHAH OH MY GOD!!!
WOW

thank you crappy Brewer D

Derrek, you owe Weeks dinner!
he owes reed johnson dinner
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

GO RJ!!!!!

Thanks WEeks!!!!!

That is 100% bc of Reed Johnson
He is an impressive man. :^)
Indeed

One of my favs

RICKIE YOU SUCK!
O...M....G...

At first I was like : (

and then I was like : )

HAHAHAHAHAH

vERY WELL PUT, SIR

Jeeze, stupid caps

Whoopsie

yeah pretty much
You and me both...lovin' it!
Brewers announcers..."My, oh my..."

I’m smiling….

Wwwwwwwwooooooo error!
/adhAdhafhashdfhFHASH~@H:!K:L#GH~#K~

another double play ball by dlee but NICE SLIDE REED!
also rickie weeks is a horrendous defender.

REED JOHNSON SLIDE FOR MVP

unbelievable… I almost love this guy more than DeRosa sometimes… SOMETIMES

Hey, you've got plenty of love in your heart...

Love them both!!!

i could never cheat on dero

hence he “sometimes” thing

lol.

At least you’re loyal. :)

I know. I can't cheat on DeRo either!
REEEEED!

THAT WAS ALL RJ!

Brewers Save Us From Ourselves!!!
Methinks Rickie Weeks is the Cubs' best player!
he is just awful....amazing that Ned left Durham on the bench
Last year, the media picked Weeks over DeRo in the all-Brewers/Cubs team.

Maybe it was the Chicago media?

Reed Johnson with a scraptacular slide
Might be the.....

biggest play reed made all year…......the hard slide

He's had some real beauties
But was it

SCRAPPY?!?

and i'm smiling too..... yippee...... way to go DLee...
Way to go Rickie Weeks

That was yet ANOTHER GIDP he was about to have. The Cubs are very, very, very lucky that Weeks is manning second base.

I'd rather be lucky than second.....

Quote from a famous race driver….

THERE CAN'T BE TWO NUMBER ONES!
WORST MOVIE EVER
Not Ricky Bobby...Richard Petty!
IF YA AINT FIRST YER LAST!
I love the cubbie scrappy dudes
Well

That was a real five second turn of events.

Hear that?

That’s the sound of the momentum cranking all the way back around!

It's the sound of America healing.
THIS is my Cubs team!

We’re back!

I shouted an F bomb and then quickly retracted it!!!!!
I'm sitting in a lab session I'm leading

and had to stiffle my cheers because I didn’t want them to know I wasn’t paying attention…

Riot, Hampster, and Johnson
i think i passed out for a second...

THANK YOU JEEBUS FOR SOME LUCK!

What happened?
1 out, bases loaded

CC gets the ground ball for the GIDP, they get the runner at second, RJ with a hard slide takes out weeks, who throws it away, scoring 2. :D

T

No kidding! Lee hit the ball for a tailor-made, inning-killing DP…and THE CUBS SCORE 2!! Now, I totally don’t believe in “fate” or anything like that…but that was a huge moment for the Cubs…

according to Brew Announcers

are we still getting all the breaks

LOL!

whatever helps you sleep at night
Our "break" that time was their second baseman throwing the ball into the stands
Yost made the Brewers lineup...
the cubs have gotten all the close calls

even though they were safe….......boo hooo

thank god for that slide
Ok, we need to score more runs, lets get an Aramis bomb right here

Howry is coming in.

Only bad news is who is coming in for us to pitch?????
Sandy Kofax?
Howry
No way Howry enters the game with a lead.
now you've seen it all, here he comes.
Why is Rickie Weeks

Even still on te Brewers?

I mean you trade for Durham…yet you still parade Weeks out there.

Yost needs to be fired.

Time to tap into the Brewer Pen

bc weeks hit like .500+ after they got durham
Now...

THAT’S A MOMENTUM SHIFT!

LOL

You are correct, sir

can i tell u how much i love ron santo

he went from suicide to freaking excited in 1.2 seconds

Weeks f'd that up on his own.

He did see Reed coming but any All Star Short would have completed that with ease….

Funny that the Brew announcers first thing out of their mouths with Lee up was his 21 DP stat…

NOT THIS TIME….........BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

D.Lee was hustling even with a hurt leg...

RJ with a great slide at 2nd. Cubs forced that error. Time for Rami to drop a 2 run bomb.

Come on, Aramis!

let's bury 'em, Rammy!
Man, Yost is burning his "ace" up out there. Wonder how he responds for the next month
He sure is tapdeer.
CC is a horse, he can handle the high pitch counts

Which is too bad for us

He was obviously tired tonight.
Well 130 may be a little high even for guys like him and Z

But 115 pitches a start won’t kill him

He's thrown 120+ pitches 13 times in his career

including tonight, which is the 3rd time this year

We'll see in that last series of the year...you can't win the division in July.

that was an amazing time to be listening to ron santo… he was like “oh god… AHHHHHHH!!!!”

...and was Pat like, “Ronnie, you need a towel or something?”

LOVE Pat, he's the best straight man!

Um, for the record, he didn’t say that. I was imagining what he might say.

Someone buy Reed a beer.

He made that happen. Great slide.

i'd drink many a beer with reed... i think he'd be fun in a bar.. johnny drama from entourage fun
dude honestly

i dont know WHAT i would have done if…NVM CUBS LEAD!!!!!

Sabathias gonna look good for the Angels next year

After Yost wears him out like a used Accord

why do the angels make so many good signings?

just saying in general they seem to be a hot spot for FA’s

Location, Location, Location

great manager and good owner don’t hurt…

Sabathias from CA

that was my line of thinking, the bay area, but the As wouldnt doll out that kind of money

I'll buy his

soul patch a beer, too

Soul patches only like the foam
well, i'll by the porn-stache two beers...

....if RJ brings that back.

Time for AmRam to make them pay

Ram should lay off the first pitch and send the second pitch into the right field gap!

We need this run

Howry will give up 1 for sure!

i would not want to sign CC next year

yost is going to kill this guy by letting him throw 130 pitches a game

KOSHER BUTCHER

Strikes again

damn... warning track power
how about a in play run (s)?
Pleaes no howery!!
CRAP!!! Howry is coming in.....why do I feel like we are behind again?????
you must be kidding, there is no way he enters a game with a lead, that is insane
9 outs to go

8th looks like the big inning for them. Lets finish this

My hands still hurt from the Non DP
SO CLOSE!!!

Next time, Rami. sigh

YAY for 2 runs, though! And the Brewers Pen. evil grin

No matter the outcome of this game

The best thing to takeaway from the result is the fact that the Cubs hit Sabathia hard and hopefully rattled his cage some

Rami just missed that one!!! Damn.
lets shut this down!!!
Who's coming in to pitch?

Take me out to the ball game,
Take me out with the crowd.
Buy me some peanuts and cracker jack,
I don’t care if I never get back,
Cause it’s root, root, root for the CUBBIES,
If they don’t win it’s a shame.
For it’s one, two, three strikes, you’re out,
At the old ball game.

Let's get some runs!

Next inning…

Just once I want

some slacker to sign off when we have a one run lead saying…

“This game is over!”

I'm scared.

Hold me.

as am i
Where is sue when you need her?

;)

Right here..it's all good
How could a guy

by the name of BrewCrew’s PrinceofDarkness be scared?

MAN UP!!!!

kerry wood

did the article on cubs.com say when he might be back?...apparently lou says he’s “not close”

Threw today with a "sleeve" on his finger

Tried throwing without the sleeve and couldn’t.

pat and ron havent said who is goign to be pitching?
Now Howry. Just for tonight, please, I'm begging, do your job!
7th inning stretch was by and far root root for the cubbies
here's a clenching moment

Please. Just hold them.

It’s Howry. Come on, let’s be optimistic: opponents are only hitting .305 against him!

at least we know we can handle CC

maybe the rest of the league will take notice….take pitches. or maybe his arm will fall off…..how funny would that be, then he wouldn’t even get the brewers 2 draft picks!

Take pitches?

We beat him by being agressive

124 pitches in 6.2 i would say we took some pitches (and fouled a ton off)
Wow I didn't realize

That is indeed pretty damn good

Oh good it's Bob Howry

I just threw up in my mouth a little bit

:(

Please Howry, PLEASE. Just ONE inning, PLEASE.

Bob Howry?

SON OF A BITCH

ok

bob howry, i will take back everything i have said about you if you can get through this inning! i got so pissed with real-life bob howry that i traded him away in my baseball video game for mike timlin – DESPITE having the goal of a true-to-life cubs 2008 roster (i have since created jeff samardzija to replace the now DFA’d mike timlin)

please…..howry…please i beg you

this is not good for my life insurance

they are taking my blood pressure at 9am tomorrow… If its high its gonna be from this game

Good thing there isn't a check box for "Cubs Fan" on the policy

The rates might rise… or worse you might not be able to get insured :)

OMG!

HOWRY?

Now i’m wetting my pants.

Steady...

Bottom of their order.

I "almost" feel sorry for CC.

He worked his butt off to get out of the inning, and his defense lets him down. Hopefully, 120 pitches took something out of him for his next start.

um

no – and it was 130

No, it was 124.
Nevermind, you were right

Dumb Brewers announcers incorrectly putting up data.

prediction: if he doesnt retire the side... he will be gone
im nervous about this
Howry Cow!!

(hopefully that helps.)

Sweet Jesus, help Bob now
I like to picture him as a baby.
Thats how I like my Jesus as well
Ricky Bobby Howry?
Get him now, Bobby!
who told me the cubs were going to DFA Howry when Wood returns...there is no way.
let's not talk about that now.
assuming howry keeps can get outs, who pitches the 8th?

3 ip for Gaudin past two day, 2 ip for the shark yesterday…

Marmol goes 2?
i say gaudin one inning

marmol in the 9th (assuming we keep the lead PLEASE do)

Howry has a lot of character.

So far he’s spotting the fastball.

atleast its

their bottom of the order, he SHOULD be able to handle this

I don't know if I can watch Howry.........I just can't......gonna throw up
COME ON UMP!

Get off your knees!

largest crowd of the season at miller park.....
Howry

has no out pitch…gotta hope he hits it at someone.

PLEASE Bobby!

You can get 3 outs! I’ve seen you do it before! How about 1-2-3?

Samardzija's heat

has movement – that’s huge

Man, Aram gets such a pass from everyone on this board. Is he over .200 yet this month?
because he is usally clutch
his defense

has been outstanding.

Wow. Too obvious.

A successful troll will require slightly more subtlety than “Ramirez sux, dood!”

Full freaking count!!!!!
SICK FASTBALL FROM HOWRY COW!
Gagne warming up so we have hope

K!

True.

We have Howry, they have Gagne.

Gagne

if that isn’t evidence of what roids/HGH can do for you, i dont know what it

Got ‘im! K!

120 pitches for cc

i guess you really do beat the heck out of rentals…just like cars

K! Lets not count Howry off YET!
Got lucky and we got 1
Howry sits one down.

Nice. Keep ‘em up.

Good fastball by Howry.

sit down Cameron.

Howry settin fools down.

Here we go….

Not a bad time to use Howry

The bottom of their order, and even if somebody gets on, the first few hitters are all righties.

Howry for Cy Young!
Are you trying to jinx him?
9 pitches one out
that's howry for you - a lucky howry
120+ pitches 21 outs...

and…? I can add too! math is FUN!

not like we're trying to save him for anything
as long as he GETS them out

I don’t care. If he pitches enough tonight, he won’t be able to pitch tomorrow.

Dont they take a new pic when a guy gets traded...geeze

those photo shopped head shots are horrible with the new teams hat

OMG. Good job Howry!!!!!

2 more, please!!!!

Where was the first pitch?
Howry needs to mix up the vertical location some....

Pop up! 2 outs!

Nice Johnson!
The list is long and distinguisehed -

Like my Reed Johnson

twss

too easy, come on

I just wanted to see how many TWSS I could get ..hehe
SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET
c'mon Bobby, one more out.
One more out Bobby!

You can do it!!!!!

WOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Sharpie Day!!!

lame

cant they do better than a freakin SHARPIE??

It's not even the cool

retractable Sharpie.

How am I supposed to write out loud?

Bob Brenly loves Sharpies TOO MUCH

He frightened me when he said “SHARRRRPIE”

might get paid for that?
office ballpark vandalism day?
Nothing compared to how excited he was for Lalapalooza
Nice job RJ!!!

Come on Howry, one more!!!!

is gaudain available for the 8th?
give us one more please!!!!!!!!!
even though dero is a hustle player.. i just realized how weak our OF defense is at the momment
Dome's in

DeRo is at 2nd.

and really

you realized that RIGHT NOW? We’re up 4-3 and THIS is when you realize it?

kind of sad (just a little) that when Pat says Eric Gagne’s up in the pen, I just chuckle a little bit now

Who pitches the 8th for us?????? I still can't stand to watch Howry....

just looking outta the corner of my eyes!!!

2...

Branyan has pop…that’s it.

Crap, this guy's all or nothing vs. Mr Fastball
He got it all!
How deep was that flyout? Gameday has it at the wall?
15 feet in front...

Of the warning track

kendall's? not nearly that close
it was over the way, sick jumping catch, like 30 feet...

kidding

in front of warning track...

can of corn.

not that deep...shy of the warning track, lazy fly ball
IN front of warning track by 15 ft.
man, this guy hits us well too
"700 foot homeruns" did I hear that wrong?
Everything is up up up!!
Howry hit 93 on that last fastball
Yost is going to break his new toy

Sabathia’s 124 pitches is a season high. Over 120 pitches in three of his six starts.

This is a gutsy job by Howry.

He looks like the old Bobby. Maybe he hasn’t lost it yet…

Dammit, that was a good pitch too.
and, he has...
I didn't hear you...what was that?
oh crap

big one

Come on - Howry just gave up a HR
His stuff is getting flat

I fucking knew it.

Howry - god help us
Of course my girlfriend calls and expects me to come over NOW!!!!!! And if I say after the game....

I am a jerk I suppose…....GAHHHHHH!!!!! I HATE YOU HOWRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Girlfriends are temporary

The CUbs are forever, and ever, and ever…

oh,. MAN!

so frakking CLOSE. WHY WHY WHY?

Ticket to Peoria please

anywhere Please

son of a .....
Crap.

He hit a 2-run HR in that Padres brawl game last year.

Well thats that

Can't say that was a surprise...
I called that one to my brother

Howry rears his ugly head once again

Stupid Lou

Shoulda burned a lefty there

Soto wanted it in the dirt

Howry left it a couple inches below the knees

Howry just lost his job

I do honestly believe.

freakin come on, how many hrs are they gonna hit?
ENOUGH!!!!

enough.

Howry is the anti-Christ
its true

i know it

or is he the new BARTMAN???

its still tied and we bat two more times
tie game.... poop
C'mon Bobby, just get out of the inning.
Why Lou?...Why?
inexplicable that Lou put him in the game....
How many times

does Lou have to be burned?

I truely don't understand why he keeps putting him out there.
i hate bob howry sooooooooo MUCH
i am sick of in play run (s) when they don't have anyone on...
Why keep him in there.
Get Howry on the next flight out, I don't care where!
how about Milwaukee
That sucked

ca-ca

Predictable, really

It was the purist form of optimism to assume that this wouldn;t happen.

that is true

i swear to gawd, get rid of him

branyon is all or nothing

always has been…a poor man’s adam dunn

Hmmmm Lou......could you see that coming????? Like a freight train heading at your eyes!!!!!

Dammit Howry….why, oh why?

Shot of Lou in the pen…shaking his head as if he has Parkinson’s…

So, rumor (Jayson Stark) has it

the Cubs are not searching for any pitching at the trade deadline. But with Wood still out, and Howry still sucking, surely they should acquire one reliever?

rumor also has it they are shopping eyre
it doesnt take a rocket scientist to see we need at least 1 more bullpen arm

Inconceivable means

something that is not conceivable.

Every person on this this board found it conceivable for Howry to give up a 700ft HR.

Karmic Payback for not signing your shirt, SWL.
Ok I can admit when I'm wrong.

lol silver lining
Famous last words
Can I charge the field at howry - i was actually a few rows away when that guy did last year
You're a Cubs fan

Not a Sox asshole.

is this cursing really neccesary?
In that instance, yes
That needs to happen again

The guy didn’t attack him, just ran on the field, yelled at Howry, then got lit up by the security guards.

I wish terrible things on

Prince Fielder for his antics.

Look at my post at 9:25pm

I knew he would give up a run! I knew it!!!!

i don't think u were alone, but chill on the dude....bad thoughts aren't good man
Howry's

done.
cooked.
finished.
washed up.

why can’t Lou see it?

Lou has had enough o Bob

But what else does he have…..SHIT

Call up Wuertz?
Wow

loud booing by cubs fans at the end of the inning…

as there should be
1 out too late
No more Howry please!
Howry getting booed by the cubs fans
loudly too.....that was really sureal.

When do you ever see that on the road?

Cubs fans arent knowledgable?

Whoever said that was mistaken

OT for the inning break:

The Brewers radio guy on my way home (not Eucker, the other guy) said Ben Sheets has the best power breaking ball in baseball. Thought a joke might lighten the mood.

Its so obviously Tim Wakefield
Nah.....its pretty close

Olympic hero and pitching stud. This is a big swing game IMO…FWIW we are lucky to be tied and lets take that – PLEASE

*sigh*

That’s not fun. At least we can be confident of getting more, but we’ve got to hold them sometime.

The Cubs better win this game, dammit…I’ve spent my entire evening watching this game, telling myself beforehand I wouldn’t get wrapped up in it to the point of emotional scarring…

And I’ve got to get up at 4:30 tomorrow! Win, dammit!

OK...a draw through 7 against their ace...and they do have Gagne....
I'm booing

him in my house 400 miles away!

Two inning game

Gagne and Torres prolly against Cotts and Marmol?

We cannot win it all when we are relying on Bobby Howry....jeezus!!!!!

You just know he will not get the job done…..everytime he comes in…....

Dear Jim Hendry

Please remove Bob Howry he’s as useful as well….. he’s not useful

GET RID OF THE FRIGGON BUM!!

Signed

Galvan

PS THnaks again for Harden :)

The fleas of 1,000 camels

I wish on Bob Howry’s crotch!

WOW

thats nutty

Get sherrl or Fuentues for pen!
Sherrill or Fuentes?
And whom

Do we trade Baltimore or Colorado?

I'm still a little surprised that Lou put in Howry. What was he thinking?
Unacceptable
It's not rocket science...

HOWRY DOESN’T HAVE IT THIS YEAR!

that he has no one else

exactly...

gaudin and the shark aren’t fresh…

no pattern recognition?

but in all seriousness, what other choice does he have? He needs 3 innings out of the bullpen and Howry is the only fresh one

no pattern recognition?

but in all seriousness, what other choice does he have? He needs 3 innings out of the bullpen and Howry is the only fresh one

:(

So not happy right now. :(

I know...I hate

this sucky feeling I have.

who do you think will pitch the 8th for the cubs?
I would think Cotts, but maybe Gaudin

better not be freakin Howry again

Hey... quick question.

Which team does Bob Howry play for?

Whoever the Cubs are playing
Whomever the Cubs are playing
WHOA!

cubs fans letting howry KNOW! i love how knowledgeable we are as fans – we are completely conscious of the fact that howry is a sh*tty pitcher

Well we got past Howry.

And the game is tied. Brewers pen sucks. Cubs pen is much better. Get some runs now.

minus howry

its much better than that

Well hello Mr. Sunshine!?!
I will sound like a douche, but the pitch before he jacked it, I commented that Howry was leaving everything up over the plate

He was beggin togive up a hr the whole inning…he is done, and I blame Lou. Jeez, if we are on to it, then why the hell isn’t the coaching staff?

Look on game tracker...

all pitches between the belt and knee, right over the plate, again, and again and again.

It's hysterical when the talking heads on sports radio

talk about the dominant Cubs bullpen. Who- Marmol? Howry?

Say Chowder Gagne
Hey only 1 ER

not bad for Howry. lol

Why did that inning feel like a minor victory? Howry must really suck.
Gagne.

LIGHT EM UP!!!!

Try Erye, Cotts anybody but Howry!
Gagne...

Doesn’t look nearly as sloppy as he did back at Wrigley in April

Damn…line out for Soto.

Dammit Soto smoked that one!
I'm out - night, y'all
Our bullpen has been killing us since 1984!
Think Joe Morgan will show up

for the Sandberg commemorative plaque day?

I think he will be sick that day
Only if...

Only if he gets confused and thinks its related to oral disease.

calm!!

we ok, i called a cubs win of 6-4 before the game started

Pray preacherman, pray very hard.
Positive vibes

I’m expecting something big from Fukudome next time up

Come on De-Ro!

He’s due!!!!

if insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different

results, why does Lou keep putting Howry in and over and over again the same thing happens…....Lou, wise up here…. now… soon… before the next time you even think about putting Howry in….

Welcome, where you been all night
I'm in San Diego....

remember? Family…new puppy…dinner…yadda yadda yadda.

really? where you from?

The puppy is new when out of town?

I'm live in SD....game started @ 5 here and I was driving home from work...

and then doing the family thing….the puppy is new…

VN

To me and my longitime GF….a dog means…well you know.

Gange and Howry's stuff is about the same
we need to destroy gagne!

we MUST win this one

None of this must win stuff

save it for must wins.

Bullpen help now!
I call

DeRo walk, Theriot sac bunt, onedeC single to score a run.

I’ll take it!

Oops...

...I mean Fontie coming in after Theriot with a base-clearing double. :^)

Hah!

One prediction down, two to go.

thats going to be hard

since Howry is up to bat next

Walk, now lets score some runs
send DeRo against kendall's glass arm
he leads the league in runners thrown out

Does he have any speed? Or is Kendall’s arm really that bad?

Well....

I think it’s about time Howry sees the door. For both his and the Cubs sake.

Last year he was one of the most reliable relievers in the 2nd half. It would not surprise me AT ALL to see Howry get DFA’d before Thursday.

A cheater is pitching
no sac with one out
GAGNE

LIGHT EM UP

anyobne else

having trouble with mlb gameday audio

me

mine has kept going out. it’s finally working again after i closed out and reopened the whole thing

Come on Riot!

Hit it in the gap!

Dear Mr. Lou P

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD HIT AND RUN WITH THERIOT!

not good idea when the pitcher is erratic
walk is good.... just need some more walks/runs....
emphesis on the runs
Bears repeating:

Howry is to Lou what Neifi was to Baker.

Damn Lou.

i think howry is much worse

at least i could pretend neifi didn’t exist…

Gaudin up in the pen....
This is the big inning with Braun and Fielder batting for them
Riot should really try and work a walk here

Get Gagne killer Dome up there

takey takey takey please
Help!!!

The internet on my Mac just died, and I’m stuck on my PC that can barely handle the 400K feed.

Did DeRo have a good AB?

Howry is useful!

Pretending to be next up to bat

That's the only reason the Cubs should keep him on the team...

n/t

blame Canada!
What'd we do?
two words...

Brian Adams

Come on Riot!!!
All right D. Ward, time to earn your pay.
2 run bomb

im calling it. It wont be right but I hope so.

the force is strong in you.
DAR-yle! DAR-yle! DAR-yle!
Ward? Really? Why Lou?...Why?
um...he's our best pinch hitter...?
They may be

more afraid of Ward than we are.

Come on buddy

split the gap

marquis will run for him
Ball four

means Kosuke.

Brewer announcers..."Daryle Ward is Cubs' version of Russell Branyan"...what?
If Sneaky Power doesn't get an AB in this game, so help me...
add Ward

to the done list.

rather see Hoff up there as PH specialist.

hes had

60 ABS. wow

Lou can put Ward on the same bus as Howry
why did he put him in

if he has a .121 pinch hitting?

Should I go to bed....

.....theres a TV in there…...damn.

lou loves Howry, and hates the Hampster...I don't get it...
He now hates Bob

trust me.

Why not Jimmy Ballgame there?
Actually Lou does

love the Hampster. Most in here were very surprised when Hampster made the team after ST.

94 mph fast ball down the heart of the plate and...

D-ward pops out the SS.

wow…just wow.

lou loves Howry, and hates the Hampster...I don't get it...
You're still wrong.
i miss randall simon

some clutch hits in 03, and of course the sausage assault

Braun is good

and scene.

Just when I think Lou knows what he's doing, we see Howry vs. Branyan and LBR rotting on the pine for the slumping Dwaryle.
if the cubs can get through this inning unscathed...

i have a real good feeling about their chances

I'm just sayin...

...for those that asked who was in here for the long haul…

(I’m still here…............. not happy, but still here)

Gaudine

is Wuertz with a better fastball and better slider

(dont eat my words)

wow...hell of an inning by gaudin
great AB

way to go fontenot

not gonna say it...

but if lee grounds into a DP, i might break my computer screen

hold everything now
You can't run Lee is a strikeout guy
D lee yes!!
nice piece of hitting
why wasn't lbr sent home???
Marmol

We need some more runs!!!!

BASES LOADED - ONE OUT

Soto up, I believe.

really need to get more than 1 here
yes!! 6-4 go D-row!
BIG insurance run
who said we'd win 6-4?
Still here - I wanna leave - I'm scared
tightest strike zone i have ever seen
Hey chicago what do you say!!!
The Cubs have already won today. :)
jesus i thought i just jinxed this game
wow - that was great! Let's win tommorow!
Can't believe I made it - GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE - WE WIN!!!

WE FRIGGIN’ WIN!!! CUBS WIN!!! CUBS WIN!!!

BIG BLUE TRAIN
