So I am already happy…and a win either today or tomorrow would be an icing on the cake..
“if it were up to me, Ned Yost would be unemployed come August.” I tried to console him by saying that while it isn’t up to him, Ned will almost certainly do everything he can to grant this wish eventually…
but it must be both depressing for the home team and uplifting for the road team to score in the top of the first. Giving your starter a lead before he takes the mound rocks.
had some interesting numbers. Last time Parra faced the Cubs was August 30, 2007. His line was 3 innings, 3 hits, 3 runs, 3 ER, 3 BB, 3 SO. Demp has beaten the Brewers on April 3 and April 30. The current score adds up to 3. Weird, man. Weird…
It makes you wonder about ESPN announcer new hires ..
They probably have a secret ceremony somewhere in a concrete cell lit only by a candle burning atop the bucket holding the head of Ted Williams and swear on it that they will faithfully declare every bit of Red Sox minutiae ad nauseaum ..
chat it up with the first blonde stepping out of the limo outside GABP in the third inning . ... tell her she is ravishing, stunning and that her mind is pretty good too ..
I was zapping furiously between both games on the satellite and got footage of both games in real time .. my wife probably thought I lost my mind . . I was as a child, giddy and amazed ..
Can anyone tell me why it is I cannot see the game on ESPN (they are showing ESPN news)...... when my cable feed does not also carry CSN? I don’t understand all of these blackout rules (it’s advertised all over to be on ESPN)

Goodie1969 - July 30, 2008
Excellent.
Both to that, and Fonzie’s first hit of the evening.

The "Hebrew Hammer" is Braun's nickname.
Check the wikipedia article on Ryan Braun.
zevkalman - July 30, 2008
Excellent.
Demp K’s Braun. Now one more out and strand Durham at 3rd!
Jimmyeatworld - July 30, 2008
If they leave Durham on third
they’re toast the rest of the night.
Matt Allison - July 30, 2008

unintentional intentional walk
cubsonWGN4ever - July 30, 2008
Demp's gonna get out of this unscathed...
They’ll get a ground ball and force the “vegetarian” at 2nd.
Jimmyeatworld - July 30, 2008
dempster needs to cut down his walks for this game
6 BB last game hurt our pen could only go 6 even though he was dominant
CubbyBlues - July 30, 2008
He needs to keep the ball down,
and start to get ahead in the count.
Jimmyeatworld - July 30, 2008
not THAT far down!

CubbyBlues - July 30, 2008
Too many pitches...
Still, I’ll take a lead in the first
chitownhawkeye - July 30, 2008
hopefully Demp settles in
the next inning
Let’s get some runs!!!!
sue369 - July 30, 2008
that's what usually happens
he has a rough 1st inning and then starts to cruise
CubbyBlues - July 30, 2008
Prediction:
Blanco will homer. He’s not happy about missing that pitch.
cubsonWGN4ever - July 30, 2008
was it his fault though?
CubbyBlues - July 30, 2008
not entirely
it was a rough pitch to block, but still I’d assume the competitiveness in him thinks he should’ve gotten it
cubsonWGN4ever - July 30, 2008
NO Demp totally at fault
UTCUBS - July 30, 2008
How about Dempster homers?
jbau - July 30, 2008
lol would love to see that
cubsonWGN4ever - July 30, 2008
The pitch landed a few feet before home plate as far as I could make out.
zevkalman - July 30, 2008
oh well, not deep enough

Madison Cub Fan - July 30, 2008

I listen to tunes while doing the cardio work out but saw the comment being scrolled over on the TV that had PTI – it was a captioning thing ..

they think they are still in it? AND they think scrubs randy wolf and LATROY HAWKINS are going to help them???
CubbyBlues - July 30, 2008
Agreed
I’m glad they’re in our division.

that crowd noise on the Chicago feed (WGN or CSN) is just too much to deal with. I like Len & Bob but that noise gives me a headache.
Let’s get more runs!!
LAcarl519 - July 30, 2008

CubbyBlues - July 30, 2008
you like that shrill ringing sound?
LAcarl519 - July 30, 2008

although i guess i must admit, i’m listening on the radio feed so not as loud
CubbyBlues - July 30, 2008
I don't hear it
sue369 - July 30, 2008

Galvan316 - July 30, 2008
Alright!
The Riot with a base knock. Let’s get some 2-out runs!
Jimmyeatworld - July 30, 2008
and Manny Ramirez says the Red Sox don't deserve him???
who does deserve him???
MinnesotaFan - July 30, 2008
The Marlins are pursuing him
flachimesa - July 30, 2008
Manny tackles a 67 yr old RedSox exec
in Houston for not getting him tix and they don’t deserve him? Isn’t he special. And they never suspended him for that!
LAcarl519 - July 30, 2008
Al's pregame thread
had some interesting numbers. Last time Parra faced the Cubs was August 30, 2007. His line was 3 innings, 3 hits, 3 runs, 3 ER, 3 BB, 3 SO. Demp has beaten the Brewers on April 3 and April 30. The current score adds up to 3. Weird, man. Weird…
Goodie1969 - July 30, 2008
Let's get three runs next inning.
Maybe Demp can oblige and get ‘em 1-2-3!

Employee22 - July 30, 2008
fair enough
i do think lee is starting to warm up w/a-ram as well – and it was nice to extend the inning w/two base hits even if they didn’t come in to score
CubbyBlues - July 30, 2008
Would have like to see Lee take a few pitches. Oh well.
