I’m sitting here watching fastball after fastball out of the maddening hand of Howry Doody, and I’m saying to the room, “One more fastball to Banyan and this game is tied up.”
well, I was only away when I would have to pause the game (via TiVo)
to play or walk my dogs. if you had two border collies you would know what I mean. these boys need lots of attention!
but anyway, there would be 15-20minute periods where I would have to catch up, so I would stay off BCB until I catch up. BTW, I think my dogs were good luck because it seems every Cub rally happened while I was watching on TiVo.
I did get a pass from the Hall Monitor, however every time I left the keyboard. :-)
Hands down most exciting, important, finger biting, game of the year. WOW. I don’t think I’ve ever witnessed a game where every at-bat was so important and the game was so close and considering WE GOT TO SABATHIA!
but it’s more that you hear of a gold glover coming to play center and you expect some spectacular plays. He hasn’t made many plays outside of the routine ones.
Hall’s fine at third, I would rather see Kaplar in center. He’s good out there and he has better contact. Brewers need more contact hitters, not power hitters.
But I think Howry did a much better job this inning. Still not great. But he had better command and really just one bad pitch. The two strikeouts were good to see.
to me, cc is going to be a HUGE (literally) disappointment in 2 years when his weight catches up with him…...whatever team signs him this offseason is going to get zito-ized
however i don’t think you can honestly say that at present time harden is better…...cc goes deeper into games, has less health concerns and (this is underrated) can swing the bat
Sabathia is defeated, has throw 120 some pitches, thank you ned yost, lee and soriano come through with great 9th inning at bats in the clutch, marmol shuts the team down, now if were able to win 1 of the next 3 we have accomplished our goal and the matchups should favor us. We are in the drivers seat now
I am the last, lol! I watched the game until I came to work. I knew I wouldnt be able to type, eat rolaids, and pay attention to the game all at once. Seems the pre all star break Cubs have returned. Great game. A hard fought win and for now, we have a 2 game cushion at the top. Sleep well those of you that get to sleep over night. I know I will sleep well when I get home in the moring.
at evil BCB they put a good mouthin on Al for no apparent reason. I don’t get the animosity. I hope it was just frustration for most and that the minority of them are total tools. I also didn’t notice that they refer to us as the bizzaro BCB. Kinda funny.
Lets go D Ward!!!
JB 23 - July 28, 2008

Intentional walk???
Scrapptastic - July 28, 2008

why can’t the cubs ever hit it where it needs to be hit! runner on 3rd less than two hit a fly ball – hit and run hit it on the ground!
CubbyBlues - July 28, 2008
Poop
GateCity, VA Cubs Fan - July 28, 2008
crap
sue369 - July 28, 2008
that sucked big time
lets go cubs
LT - July 28, 2008
Ward and Howry can both take a hike
nji232 - July 28, 2008
Who's pitching this inning?
CubsBullsBears - July 28, 2008
Gaudin
was warming up.;
drewishdrewid - July 28, 2008
heart of the order not feeling confident with anyone in the pen
Reed's Johnson - July 28, 2008
Damn - ward and howry - Cubs underachievers of the year
swimfan - July 28, 2008
True
Itchy - July 28, 2008
Soriano will have to win this game for us
nji232 - July 28, 2008
which he CAN do
CubbyBlues - July 28, 2008
He can and he WILL
nji232 - July 28, 2008
great................
allstar5449 - July 28, 2008
Faaaarrrrrggggghhhh! (*gargle, gargle*)

Alright Gaudin.
Hold ‘em. Gonna have Fonzie up again in the 9th.
Jimmyeatworld - July 28, 2008
Who comes in now?
Marmol? 2-3-4 for the Boob Crew.
Canadian Cubs Fan - July 28, 2008
Gaudin I think
sue369 - July 28, 2008
*sigh*
slcathena - July 28, 2008
gaudin
Reed's Johnson - July 28, 2008
add Ward
to the done list…
rather see Hoff up here as PH specialist…
Spydey - July 28, 2008
i would hope we could better than both off those options
Reed's Johnson - July 28, 2008
heard you the first time
LT - July 28, 2008
what?
can’t hear you. dws.
Spydey - July 28, 2008
that makes me slightly ill.
the idea that we’d have to pin games on a AAAA player.
drewishdrewid - July 28, 2008
Shark?
just saying Ward’s not doing it. maybe we can get a trade or someone off waivers in August.
Spydey - July 28, 2008
Shark is not an AAAA player.
Hoffpauer, on the other hand…
drewishdrewid - July 28, 2008
can we win one of these close games? i can't remember the last 1 or 2 run win we
have when they didn’t come back on us in the end to make it close
Zakh - July 28, 2008
No crystal ball required
I’m sitting here watching fastball after fastball out of the maddening hand of Howry Doody, and I’m saying to the room, “One more fastball to Banyan and this game is tied up.”
excatcher - July 28, 2008
K, Cubbies... put one on the board,
and get Marmol pumped up.
arioso - July 28, 2008
gaudin in to pitch
he can get the job done – wish howry could
CubbyBlues - July 28, 2008
Lets Go Dan!!
swimfan - July 28, 2008
I am really sorry for this post.
swimfan - July 28, 2008
No prob, my name's Dan
dtpollitt - July 28, 2008
how many other struggling players does Lou want to get into this game
DC Cubbie - July 28, 2008
Goudin is struggling?
Really?
GoCubbies34 - July 28, 2008
Because that K looked pretty damn good.
GoCubbies34 - July 28, 2008
easy buddy, I was referring to Ward and Howry.
DC Cubbie - July 28, 2008
He really struggled with that backwards K too.
GoCubbies34 - July 28, 2008
Hee hee
It’s sort of like an intervention…
“You’re in a safe place, Bob.”
arioso - July 28, 2008
hart, wuertz,pingnatello,
Reed's Johnson - July 28, 2008
Gaudin needs to get a quick 1-2-3 inning here
nji232 - July 28, 2008
I predict if we get out of this one
we score in the ninth and take this one
RightFieldSucks - July 28, 2008
I think you are right.
Jimmyeatworld - July 28, 2008

There’s one! K!
jdb-44 - July 28, 2008
NIce job Gaudin!
Jimmyeatworld - July 28, 2008
Come on Wolverine!
cowsarecool220 - July 28, 2008
thats not Wolverine!
LT - July 28, 2008
Good start, just like Alfonso needs to win this for us Braun has to do it for them
nji232 - July 28, 2008
Top of 9 I believe we have Dome, Sori, and Reed
dtpollitt - July 28, 2008
Well done!!!!
Braun needs to strike out here.
slcathena - July 28, 2008
Or get beaned
Reddevil - July 28, 2008
Sorry.
that’s not very nice.
Reddevil - July 28, 2008
I prefer the out.
slcathena - July 28, 2008
OK, that's it for me...
‘night, all. It’s been fun.
jdb-44 - July 28, 2008
YOU CAN'T LEAVE NOW!!
dtpollitt - July 28, 2008
Lou is Lou'sing this game...poor matchup decisions....I don't care what stat anyone can look up to the contrary
tapdeer - July 28, 2008
As much I think Howry sucks right now...
He was the right call.
Jimmyeatworld - July 28, 2008
The only call, really.
Bildo1805 - July 28, 2008
Wow.
This comment just looks ridiculous now.
slcathena - July 28, 2008
and you said you weren't a troll!
coulda fooled me.
Poor matchups? Gaudin just got TWO Ks.
drewishdrewid - July 28, 2008
I'm gonna have an ulcer by the time this series is over
RightFieldSucks - July 28, 2008
i already had 3
CubbyBlues - July 28, 2008

Reed's Johnson - July 28, 2008
i've had seven of those
CubbyBlues - July 28, 2008
tonight
CubbyBlues - July 28, 2008
That makes a nice round baker's dozen, Bob!
NotSure - July 28, 2008
That, and the booze I'll be consuming over the next three nights should do me in
dtpollitt - July 28, 2008
K!
drewishdrewid - July 28, 2008

GateCity, VA Cubs Fan - July 28, 2008

Reed's Johnson - July 28, 2008
Good job to leave him in here
nji232 - July 28, 2008

RightFieldSucks - July 28, 2008
Good call Lou!
slcathena - July 28, 2008
Sit down Braun!
Bricks and Ivy - July 28, 2008
And go pluck your eyebrows.
santoswoodenlegs - July 28, 2008
Lou said
“You gonna be alright?”
GateCity, VA Cubs Fan - July 28, 2008
someone said Gaudin
wasn’t ‘fresh’ for the 7th?
Spydey - July 28, 2008
well then who pitches the 8th?
RightFieldSucks - July 28, 2008
we have cotts, marmol, eyre, marshall, shark, gaudin
ALL in the pen to use any old day, WHYYYYYY use howry?!
CubbyBlues - July 28, 2008
Didn't he throw 2 the other night?
dtpollitt - July 28, 2008
Just thinking the same thing...
Canadian Cubs Fan - July 28, 2008
I'm surprised he's in
actually.
drewishdrewid - July 28, 2008
i did...
3 innings over the past two games, and a good amount of pitches in each….
bobby h - July 28, 2008
leavin him in?
Zakh - July 28, 2008
its done.
Reddevil - July 28, 2008
Whoever loses this game, it is going to be tough...the winning team is going to be ecstatic
tapdeer - July 28, 2008
Good choice.
Pitching very well. Here we go, Godin!
arioso - July 28, 2008
pitch very careful
Zakh - July 28, 2008
I See
McDonalds is sponsoring Prince’s at bat on the Brewer network. That’s appropriate.
08Cubs - July 28, 2008
hee hee.
Reddevil - July 28, 2008
Think he opts for the "Super Size"?
NotSure - July 28, 2008
He looks larger today
nji232 - July 28, 2008
IBB???
swimfan - July 28, 2008
yes please
RightFieldSucks - July 28, 2008
he runs like an elephant and hits like a rhino
RightFieldSucks - July 28, 2008
Eh I don't know if I like this
nji232 - July 28, 2008
Good Decision?
GateCity, VA Cubs Fan - July 28, 2008
Not a good decision
Hart is no slouch
West Coast Diehard - July 28, 2008
We're about to find out.
I’m going to wind up dead before this season’s over.
slcathena - July 28, 2008
Yeah, I picked a bad week to quit sniffing glue...
LT - July 28, 2008
that is probably the 1 guy the said isn't gonna beat them....not sure if cotts is that good against
lefties anyways
Zakh - July 28, 2008
Brew announcers exclaiming how bad the Cubs bullpen has been...
How about your own???
mmancubfan - July 28, 2008
lets not get overly exuberant yet...
Ross - July 28, 2008
Dude has a 6' break on his fast ball
Impressive!
BrewCrew'sPrinceofDarkness - July 28, 2008

.........comon now
what kind of shit is that
xene - July 28, 2008

LT - July 28, 2008
Gaudin
is Michael Wuertz wiht a better slidr and better fastabll (pleas dont eat my words)
Hammer - July 28, 2008
Get him out please!!
sue369 - July 28, 2008
THANK YOU !!!!!

Hammer - July 28, 2008

but I’m hanging in there.
sue369 - July 28, 2008
Gaudin will get Hart.
What a stupid idea to try to bunt.
Jimmyeatworld - July 28, 2008
disagree - if he gets it down - rally time
Reed's Johnson - July 28, 2008
Bunt?....What the?
BrewCrew'sPrinceofDarkness - July 28, 2008
IMO a 2 strike slider gets Hart
Hammer - July 28, 2008
and no chance
IMO
Hammer - July 28, 2008
here's the chance
RightFieldSucks - July 28, 2008
Take a seat Hart.
Jimmyeatworld - July 28, 2008
time to get some runs!!!!
Jimmyeatworld - July 28, 2008

Don't you mean facist?

I'm going to assume so
dtpollitt - July 28, 2008
r and f are close to eachother...I get it now.
BrewCrew'sPrinceofDarkness - July 28, 2008
WHAT?
That is just wrong!
BrewCrew'sPrinceofDarkness - July 28, 2008
Somewhat poor taste...but correct...K times 3
NotSure - July 28, 2008
Gutsy call would be an inside slider here
BrewCrew'sPrinceofDarkness - July 28, 2008
what's marshall's status?

the Brewers offense lives and dies by the HR

Just like Howry.
santoswoodenlegs - July 28, 2008
WOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!! gaudin makes that trade
EVEN BETTER! wow

STRUCK OUT THE SIDE!!!!!!
Go DAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
slcathena - July 28, 2008

“And now up, the national league all-star, Corey Hart.”
Is that really necessary from the Brewers announcers? They only tout their inferiority complex.

sue369 - July 28, 2008
Wish he were pitching the last inning too :-)
zevkalman - July 28, 2008
i would like to see fonty hit for reed against torres
Reed's Johnson - July 28, 2008
If KFu can get on, the brewers fans are going to bind up something severe
tapdeer - July 28, 2008
I like that nickname....KFu...that is just fun to say.
BrewCrew'sPrinceofDarkness - July 28, 2008
pass.
Bildo1805 - July 28, 2008
ok, we mowed down the heart of their order, now we have momentum!
let’s win it!
RightFieldSucks - July 28, 2008
safe for one inning at least
allstar5449 - July 28, 2008
Torres in
GateCity, VA Cubs Fan - July 28, 2008
Sori will be dialed in this inning.
tapdeer - July 28, 2008
We closed down their power and now the meat of our order is coming up
West Coast Diehard - July 28, 2008
Hammer?
Wake up. Torres is on. We need your call.
Jimmyeatworld - July 28, 2008
Man, he is using up his "A" bullpen tonight
tapdeer - July 28, 2008
guys just think about Rick Ross
he has the song “The Boss”
The Cubs are the Boss.

tapdeer - July 28, 2008
I'll feel good if Kosuke gets a hit

No question
Sosa was far and away my favorite player and he ruined his career.

Let's see that Dome patience!
arioso - July 28, 2008

GateCity, VA Cubs Fan - July 28, 2008
I absolutlely hate FUKU’s swing – I gave hom the benefit of the doubt in the begining, but it is almost imposiible to hit a ball while falling away
Reed's Johnson - July 28, 2008
This is typical
for Japanese-trained hitters. Looks weird to me too, but his technique isn’t his biggest problem.
arioso - July 28, 2008
working the outside. Teach KFu how to stay in the box
tapdeer - July 28, 2008

tapdeer - July 28, 2008
Lee
lets do this here. Do it for Tom Emansky (I mean the Cub fans)
Hammer - July 28, 2008
He's at 19 pitches
He should mess up one of the fast balls and DLEE should be able to make him pay.
BrewCrew'sPrinceofDarkness - July 28, 2008
seriously
DLee NEEDS to get a hit here
CubbyBlues - July 28, 2008

If not, a grounder to Weeks will do the job.
DeRoMyHero - July 28, 2008
that 1-0 pitch to TheRiot was so crappy
it just made him defensive after that. this ump really has been very inconsistent on both low & wide strikes.
I hope he is as generous to Marmol now )when he needs a call).
LAcarl519 - July 28, 2008

tigerhawk61 - July 28, 2008
marmol struck out the first two
then walked kendall, went 0-2 on kapler, got an almost K, then fly out to fonzie
RightFieldSucks - July 28, 2008
Kapler Flied Out To The Track
Looked like it was gone at first.
CaliCub - July 28, 2008
you really thought so?
it looked like it might be a bloop single to me
RightFieldSucks - July 28, 2008
It's The Ledge Jumper In Me
:-p
CaliCub - July 28, 2008
It looked like a swing and miss but it was a foul ball...
Bump Bailey - July 28, 2008
deep fly ball to track - fonzie got it
iluvryno - July 28, 2008
everyone thought it was k swinging
Cubs went to the mound to celebrate, then the ump called it back, said it hit the bat.
Then Kapler roped a liner, but Soriano got to the track to bunny-hop-catch it.
And then the world was right.
Bildo1805 - July 28, 2008
Strike three was actually a foul tip that hit the ground.
Kapler hit the next pitch to LF, just short of the track. Sori caught it.
DeRoMyHero - July 28, 2008

Looking forward to a great matchup between Z and Sheets.
DLee and Big Z eat up Sheets. Bat Z 8th. He’s 5 for 14 against Sheets.
Lee is 16 for 49 with 6 HR and 12 RBI.
Great win! I love this team!
flachimesa - July 28, 2008
well, I was only away when I would have to pause the game (via TiVo)
to play or walk my dogs. if you had two border collies you would know what I mean. these boys need lots of attention!
but anyway, there would be 15-20minute periods where I would have to catch up, so I would stay off BCB until I catch up. BTW, I think my dogs were good luck because it seems every Cub rally happened while I was watching on TiVo.
I did get a pass from the Hall Monitor, however every time I left the keyboard. :-)

I think Lee, Soriano, and Marmol are all BACK
dtpollitt - July 28, 2008
I think you're right
And despite the HR by Howry he looked better tonight.
ak123 - July 28, 2008
ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Cubs Win.
BrewCrew'sPrinceofDarkness - July 28, 2008
I think so too.....Marmol and Sori were electric tonight
JB 23 - July 28, 2008
Agreed.
slcathena - July 28, 2008
Prediction: Maddux is pitching his last game as a Padre..
Chanman25 - July 28, 2008
Best game of the year?
Hands down most exciting, important, finger biting, game of the year. WOW. I don’t think I’ve ever witnessed a game where every at-bat was so important and the game was so close and considering WE GOT TO SABATHIA!
ak123 - July 28, 2008
For excitement alone the Rockies game was better
For the mental health of Cub fans this was the best game.
nji232 - July 28, 2008
I knew Rockies was going to be posted
But once we got the lead it wasn’t as crazy. This one started and ended with craziness.
ak123 - July 28, 2008
Actually that Harden debut was pretty exciting for good and bad reasons
Wrigley going nuts for 8.5 innings. Epic collapse, then walk off win
nji232 - July 28, 2008
It was the best.
The walkoff vs. the Sox was more intense but this means more.
Itchy - July 28, 2008
Never thought
We’d have so many games to choose from! Too bad other teams can’t be this thankful.
ak123 - July 28, 2008
Wow
What a great game. My team lost but it sure was a fun one to watch.
If that last series of the year means something and the games are anything like this one, I don’t think Ill be able to handle it.
Good win for the Cubbies, now all the brewers need to do is get rid of Weeks.
brewfan2 - July 28, 2008
+1
so fun to have a great rivalry like this
ar_hawkins - July 28, 2008
I agree
I had to walk away for a bit in the late innings.
Charlemagne - July 28, 2008
Thanks for the classy post.
What a great ballgame.
jbau - July 28, 2008
Classy post
Tell Yost to start Durham, there is a reason you guys traded for him. This is going to be an amazing two months of baseball
nji232 - July 28, 2008
If I had the power to talk to yost, I would have already cut his head off.
brewfan2 - July 28, 2008
If Weeks didn't make that error, this was a different ballgame
dtpollitt - July 28, 2008
Thought it was a questionable move to bring in Torres in a tie game...
...looked to me like Yost was trying to win the division in one game…
NotSure - July 28, 2008
I didn't mind that call
That’s the right call when your tied at home in the ninth. I’m more sick of seeing Cameron on the field.
brewfan2 - July 28, 2008
Why are you telling him that?
Weeks is the Cubs’ best player.
DeRoMyHero - July 28, 2008
Cameron is pretty good too
brewfan2 - July 28, 2008
He's good defensively. Has he been that disappointing offensively?
To me, the other disappointing guy from the Brewers’ perspective is Bill Hall. What happened to him?
DeRoMyHero - July 28, 2008
Hall gets really hot and really cold
Cameron just swings threw too many good pitches and his defense hasn’t been that stellar.
brewfan2 - July 28, 2008
Cameron is pretty near to his career OPS, but I'm surprised to hear about his defense.
Age, perhaps?
Do you think Hall would be better suited doing what DeRo does and floating all around the field? Or couldn’t he handle that mentally?
DeRoMyHero - July 28, 2008
It's not that Cameron has been horrible
but it’s more that you hear of a gold glover coming to play center and you expect some spectacular plays. He hasn’t made many plays outside of the routine ones.
Hall’s fine at third, I would rather see Kaplar in center. He’s good out there and he has better contact. Brewers need more contact hitters, not power hitters.
brewfan2 - July 28, 2008
Shhhhhhhhhhhh....
Bump Bailey - July 28, 2008
+1 to you, sir
dtpollitt - July 28, 2008
Great win!
This was the scariest matchup, IMO—CC vs. Lilly. I like us to take 2 of the next 3.
DeRoMyHero - July 28, 2008
For sure.
Lilly was great until that last inning…didn’t think we’d do so well against CC.
Hopefully Z can keep it reigned in tomorrow.
Bildo1805 - July 28, 2008
Even with the HR's
We’re playing a HR crazy team so we narrowed the damage with them. Even Howry looked better minus that one pitch.
ak123 - July 28, 2008
Just don't walk guys
Make them hit Solo bombs and we can beat them. Just like we did tonight
nji232 - July 28, 2008
which is why im going to be flamed on here
But I think Howry did a much better job this inning. Still not great. But he had better command and really just one bad pitch. The two strikeouts were good to see.
ak123 - July 28, 2008
You are right Howry wasn't the worst today
He does need some innings in less stressful situations though.
nji232 - July 28, 2008
I agree.
DeRoMyHero - July 28, 2008
good night from memphis

slcathena - July 28, 2008
Great ABs tonight, seems like we are finally out of that offensive funk
DC Cubbie - July 28, 2008
Soriano looked real good today, save that one strikeout
If he stays locked in the rest of the series, look out
nji232 - July 28, 2008
Pitching match up of the year tomorrow?
Z vs the Brewers and Sheets vs the Cubs?
Let the good times roll!
BrewCrew'sPrinceofDarkness - July 28, 2008
3rd time?
Will this be the 3rd time we’re getting this matchup?
I think teams have gotten to Sheets a little more the last few games. It’s just nice to start the series on a highnote.
ak123 - July 28, 2008
Kerry Sayers Doing The Post Game Show!
An excellent 1st day at the new job and a hard fought Cub victory…it do not get no better.
CaliCub - July 28, 2008
No Gail Fischer tonight?
sigh…
Bump Bailey - July 28, 2008
also I would like to say that we actually won on the ROAD
and beat the Brewers at their place!
Chanman25 - July 28, 2008
in a close game, too.
drewishdrewid - July 28, 2008
No we didn't. We won at Wrigley North, our second home field.
DeRoMyHero - July 28, 2008
lol true
Chanman25 - July 28, 2008
I’m too excited to notice, it’ll sink in later. Woo, three more nights of this.

Of course he said that...he is part lemming (sp)
He is judging the Cubs performance since the ASB instead of throughout the whole season… Typical Ledge Jumper MO

I just thought it was an interesting question
Give the media credit for reeling me in I guess.
nji232 - July 28, 2008
Barry Bonds hates the media.
dtpollitt - July 28, 2008
Just cause he hasn’t gotten the run support yet doesn’t mean CC is better, but I’d take either of them.
SplintChesthair - July 28, 2008
-1..Harden all the way..
cubsnlinux - July 28, 2008
tough call
to me, cc is going to be a HUGE (literally) disappointment in 2 years when his weight catches up with him…...whatever team signs him this offseason is going to get zito-ized
however i don’t think you can honestly say that at present time harden is better…...cc goes deeper into games, has less health concerns and (this is underrated) can swing the bat
but the homer in me says harden! haha
cubswynn - July 29, 2008
what happened with len? saying cubs win twice?
what exactly happened there with him? i didn’t have audio in the 9th. btw, GO CUBS GO!!!
jackieboy - July 28, 2008
the last batter
thought it was a K, but he fouled it off the dirt. Then he hit a warning-track ball to Sori on the next pitch.
drewishdrewid - July 28, 2008
2nd to last pitch was a "foul", so we tried 'er 'gain, and got the win, twice
dtpollitt - July 28, 2008
haha, love it.

Huge key win
Sabathia is defeated, has throw 120 some pitches, thank you ned yost, lee and soriano come through with great 9th inning at bats in the clutch, marmol shuts the team down, now if were able to win 1 of the next 3 we have accomplished our goal and the matchups should favor us. We are in the drivers seat now

i know it's still early
but i don’t think you can over-stress how big this win was…..
marmol is officially BACK, sori, dlee, aramis are heating up at the right time
Z is gonna be jacked tomorrow and is gonna come through, i can feel it
cubswynn - July 28, 2008
That would be straight money.
slcathena - July 28, 2008
z pays with
straight cash homie!
cubswynn - July 28, 2008
Fonzie is back
Derrek’s hitting the ball in the air again. Rami’s made solid contact. Dome worked a great AB against a tough lefty.
Seriously. I can’t remember the last time a win felt this GOOD to me.
Jacked about Z going tomorrow.
halfblindcubbiegirl - July 28, 2008

santoswoodenlegs - July 29, 2008
Nope
I am the last, lol!
I watched the game until I came to work. I knew I wouldnt be able to type, eat rolaids, and pay attention to the game all at once. Seems the pre all star break Cubs have returned. Great game. A hard fought win and for now, we have a 2 game cushion at the top. Sleep well those of you that get to sleep over night. I know I will sleep well when I get home in the moring.

at evil BCB they put a good mouthin on Al for no apparent reason. I don’t get the animosity. I hope it was just frustration for most and that the minority of them are total tools. I also didn’t notice that they refer to us as the bizzaro BCB. Kinda funny.

Two very over looked guys this game
Ted Lilly: another quality start. How this guy keeps doing this is unreal. He is amazing and I’m hoping we get him 15 wins this year.
Reed Johnson: He saved DLee’s bacon, got us (at the time) the go head run, and is becoming quickly the third leg of the “Scrappy Pyramid of Victory.”
(I would also like to give a shout out to the Blue Jays, “Thank you.”)

Next time
someone wonders why you’re so passionate about the Cubs and baseball, just tell them about this game.
There isn’t anything else on the planet that rivals what we saw tonight.

This is going to be one heck of a game today.
Z vs. Sheets. Rematch from opening day. 3 game lead vs. 1 game lead. I can’t wait.
