I understand that Atlanta really needs the rain but dang it!! I am having Cubs withdrawals. What about me?

Soriano up to lead off the game...

be patient with this guy Alfonso!

home run! awesome!

i’m just being a smart aleck. don’t want anyone to read that , somehow skip over the rain postponement (sp?) info above, and curse me.

WHOOOO! Boy!

1-0 CUBS!

nothing like getting that early lead on the first batter!

now i’ve done it.

Keep the no-out rally going Theriot!
Is it seriously postponed til tomorrow?
Theirot K's swinging...Lee bounces to 2nd....
Ramirez double to left! and they'll be a runner on for Jedmonds!
Hi everyone.

Gotta run for a bit, but I’ve posted a rainout thread on the front page. You can use this thread or that one for tonight. Have a great evening!

Jimmy works the count full and draws a walk!

2 men on for Dome!

Dome looks silly swinging at a breaking ball....1 ball 2 strikes.

the way he just spun around i am surprised he didn’t fall over.

Fukudome 3 Run HR!!!!

Cubs lead 4-0 in the first!

I would join this

But after that disaster of a “game” last night ill pass :(

Disaster? WE WON THAT GAME!
Me and about 2 people read that thread
untrue

I read every word. Dood, you got 350 comments.

325 of them where of me

LOL… its okay I seriously doubt im going to do that again though

Seriously Galvan.....

I sat and read the whole thing from start to finish…..

I’m just a lurker…..I’ve been coming here since the all star break, and have only posted like 5 or 6 times…..
It was something (on the off day), that I looked forward to, with no game to watch anyway…..

I figured maybe

people prefer a distraction at work over taking something out of their “free time”?

Well

I couldn’t do the game while I was at work, so i figured id take some of my free time to let people unwind a little, No biggie thought.

Sucks that tonights game was rained out though

plus last night there was Olympics on and a preseaon football game on

so there were things to watch

Soto flies out the warning track in center to end the inning.

mid of the 1st

Cubs 4
Braves 0

I like where this ones going!
Harden fires fastballs and gets ahead 0-2
Will TBS

be airing either?

I can’t get WGN here.

TBS does not carry the Braves anymore.
Sorry, uh...

Peachtree, is it?

I can’t tell the difference.

They have at least two cable networks

Peachtree and Fox Sports South. There may be another one as well—I can’t tell the networks without a scorecard.

Harden K's Grissom with a nasty 3-2 slider! 1 out.
Blauser gets on with a bloop single over 2nd base...
Ah...

I see what you did there

Howry gets up in the pen

could be Lou wants to save on Harden’s pitch count tonight..

Chipper Jones bounces in the inning ending 6-4-3 DP!
Is he back off the DL then?

last i read he was disabled…

DeRosa leads off the 2nd with a single pasta-diving McGriff!
Isn't the crime dog like

50 now?

Harden bunts the ball foul with 2 strikes and that's 1 out.

too bad.

Soriano up with DeRo on 1st.....

the pitcher looks nervous…

Line shot to Lemke! and they double DeRosa off first! End of the inning!
McGriff coming up to bat in the bottom of the 1st.
The Crime Dog grounds out 6-3. 1 out.
Justice takes fastballs for strike one and two...

and K’s swinging at another at the letters. 2 out.

Klesko gets ahead 2-0 and hits a GR2B down the left-field line.
O'Brien also works the count...3-1...and Harden walks him.
Lemke taps back harmlessly to Harden and the Cubs get out of the inning.

End of the 2nd

Cubs 4
Braves 0

Harden 29 pitches.

Ted Turner is sitting in the Braves dugout tonight....and he looks drunk.
Yes...he's just thrown up all over Mark Wohlers' cleats...
maybe there should be a rule

that owners MUST wear a uniform. No number, but still. And high-socks ONLY.

There seems to be a delay in getting the 3rd inning underway...
It's hard to explain what I'm seeing here folks...
Bobby Cox is at the top of the dugout conferring with the home plate umpire...

there is a lot of commotion in the Braves dugout.

Cox has doubled over...and...

yes..he too is vomiting. The Umpires are covered in what looks like tobacco and guacamole dip from the pre-game spread.

Maybe you should work on the TV side then?

j/k

Braves players are stumbling out of the dugout with a look of horror and disgust.
they are rolling out the tarp...

in the dugout…

We're getting word that Pedro Borbon and Rafael Belliard are being hosed off in the shower.
The Braves entire team seems to have been stricken with food poisioning from some bad Avacados.
There's a terrible chorus of wretching coming from the dugout and tunnel leading to the clubhouse.

The umpires are meeting with Lou.

The game is being called a forfeit! Cubs win! Cubs win!

Strangest ending all year!

you need counseling.

very entertaining though!

Wow
what a game, eh?

I think Harden will be ok to go in tomorrow’s late game.
