Bleed Cubbie Blue

Just getting here myself,...

Can i get an update please? How has Harden looked tonight?

Basman - August 13, 2008 reply

Only went 5

2 hitter shutout. Some people concerned cuz his velocity wasn’t as fast, but I think he looked fine. I’m sure it will be addressed post-game.

dtpollitt - August 13, 2008 reply

he pitched well...

as stated in the previous thread

Hey preach

sorry bout the “best athlete” thing. I wasn’t trying to argue with you at all, just discuss. I didn’t see that you said “in swimming” until sue pointed it out. No hard feelings.

dtpollitt - August 13, 2008 reply

Have the Braves threatened?

Since that bases-loaded situation in the third, that is…

Not really

Maybe a first and second two out situation

my IQ just went down 1/2 point by seeing that hehehe

dang. I just cut it it half. sorry about that.

;-)

you think your funny huh??????

yeah. even if no one else does,

at least I am use myself

amuse

gah!

TMI

TWSS!

I'd credit you with it

but you should have twss’ed the am use post

true but it was a TMI also

none of our business ” giggle”

won't it be TWHS????

yeah, that might work better..

Kid K sends McCann packin'

thanks for the linky link sue!!

you're welcome

Braves announcers talking about 2003 playoffs.

That’s the one team I don’t mind that from.

jbau - August 13, 2008 reply

+1

Infante pops out to Ramirez. 2 down.

1-2-3!

nice workout, Kerry!

Great Job by Wood

I would assume Marmol will come and finish this thing

Probably

Using the whole pen today—hope Lilly can go 7!

Johnson bats for Woody

gets a single!

Fish threatening Cards in 8th

5-2 Cards, but fish have two on, one out.

what about the Suds?

20 minutes from now

west coast game for them

on the coast...

9:00 start..

no matter what happens

LOVE me some Cardinals bullpen

on to the 9th....

Johnson grounds out. 3 down

10 pitches, 8 strikes, 2 balls for Woody

just go out and throw strikes,

and let your defense play behind you

What a strange set up

motion the pitcher has.

Same concept as Dempster's motion

It gets him in rhythm.

oh I know

it just looks funny.

Reed Mantle! basehit!

Reed Johnson, singles to center

he’s our very own billy goat!!

they are pitching tight to

sori

I really think they are still pissed about the 3 homer game last year

Idk why

i think it may have been what fueled it all

in the first game

you don't think it was the stylin' on the single?

I think it was the posing on the non-homer-single

so do I

i think that what happened

last year came into all their remembrance, because they were mad at his “posing” after his third HR last year

Where else would you pitch him?

I would prefer a over the plate a little inside about thigh high

not so close to his body

or head, lol

5-4 Cardinals

Marlins have second and third one out

excellent

Sori

not getting anything to hit.

is the volume on teh TV

going in and out for anyone else?

yes

cubs ftw - August 13, 2008 reply

gah

makes me feel like…

I can’t think of a simile.

not for me

I’m watching on CSN+ on RCN.

I have RCN I couldn't find the game...what channel?

El Borto - August 13, 2008 reply

You know, if he had hit Soriano (and he came awful close),

all heck would have broke loose!

Soriano walks, 2 on, no outs

now bases loaded, nobody out

where's Santos?

we need the picture

bases are loaded with Cubs...

How about a grand slam?

Scrappy walks, bases JACKED. 0 outs.

The Deputy Mayor of Rush Street - August 13, 2008 reply

Let's go Cubbies!

clap clap clapclapclap

don't argue now, Bobby...

you wouldn’t want to get tossed twice in one day!

Can't blame him,

the Braves have been playing some bad baseball this year.

He's already got the record

Now he just wants to put it out of reach

RBI WALK!

we'll take em how we get em... a run is a run...

DLee walks, 1 run scores, bases still full of Cubs, no outs

up comes Mr. Clutch

Pitching change

Bases loaded in Miami

5-4, 1 out, bottom 8

Scoreboard on TV says 7-0??

That ain’t right…

jdb-44 - August 13, 2008 reply

Nope -- it's 6

But that's what I saw, too

what do you think the over under is

on walking Rami?

NOW it's 7-0!

had they not changed pitchers, would have been likely

wow. it's so quiet there.

sounds like Florida.

yes it is....now

LT - August 13, 2008 reply

Bases loaded for the Marlins

One out

Fla announcer just said, "Bags filled with fish"

Sounds smelly.

Yes it does

but right now I like it

oh, that cardinals bullpen

nifty 5-3 DP to end the 8th in Miami

5-4 still

Gonzales out, Tavares in

Gonzales, 15 pitches, 2 strikes, 13 balls

holy @#%# I didnt realize it was that bad

In honor of Skip Caray

“Bases are drunk…”

come on ARam... let's get some of those Cubs home....

how about all?

NOW

it’s 7-0

Cubs will be only 2 games below .500 on the road after today

'but they're a horrible road team'

funny what a winstreak does

...and 26 above .500 overall

I didnt think I'd ever see that :)

nothing to do

but go for 27.

I love updating my white board with wins

even more so on the road :)

you have a whiteboard?

Cardinals get a DP to end the inning

5-4 going into the 9th. But they still have to get three more outs

THAT will be an adventure!

way to go ARam

That TV must have had ESPN

Let's go LBR!

any new books bump?

Just started It’s Good to be Alive by Roy Campanella

Still reading 3 Nights In August...

Not as good as I heard it was…too much love for TLR if you ask me. You’re reading all the catching books, huh?

well the catching books led me to this book

This book was written (well dictated) his a couple months after accident so it deals with a lot more than him being a catcher.

sounds interesting..

I’ll put it on my list..

ARam sac fly, run scores, men on 1st & 3rd, one out

8-0

Fonty safe. 2 outs

hamster hustles for an rbi

snakes down 3 early

LBR replaces Jimmy Baseball and quickly grounds into fielders choice

Theriot scores, Lee out at 2nd, 1 on, 2 out

For old time's sake, Lou ought to go over to the Braves dugout

and tell “Omen” that he can bounce a few up there for us in the 9th…even this lead might be safe for him.

ohmen is having a good season

and probably is due a lil credit…

surprised they didn't trade him...

doubt his value will ever be much higher..

that's a pretty good point

I am not sure most of us are happy with the way things ended with him

I could care less about how he does as a Brave. I don’t wish anything bad for him. I just don’t care.

lol

point taken…

:-)

let’s get the last 3 outs and go for the sweep tomorrow!

I believe it will be for the SEASON sweep!

boo-yah!

DeRosa makes the pain last

Fonty to third.

drop lob down the rf line this time

The Deputy Mayor of Rush Street - August 13, 2008 reply

Nice wedge DeRo!

twss

Hope they save

some runs for tomorrow.

and for the fish!!!

especially them

whats the first pitch time?

looks like 6:10 again

DeRo single. LBR to 3rd. 2 out...

Husky kid DeRo singles down the line

1st and 3rd, 2 outs

DeRo is 3-3 lifetime off of Tavarez.

who's warming?

i think howry can hold an 8-0 lead

C'mon Dome, the hitting is contagious

who does atlanta jettison

to bring back glavine?

Probably Charlie Morton.

He’s been rushed this year, and isn’t really ready.

that would make sense

bottom of 9th... cubbies 8... 3 outs to go...

Dome flies out, 3 down.

8-0 CUBS

I want me

some WHITE CASTLE!

but instead, I'll take

and order of Marshall, with a side of Tall.

Gameday says Sean Marshall.

You will settle for Sean Marshall

and be happy about it lol

i think...

spellchecks whitecastle is just about as slippery

Marshall pitching for the Cubbies..

Marshall is going to close it out.

6-4 birdies

1 out, runner on 2nd, top 9

thank god

lets save Marmol-ade for the fish

+100

nothing comes easy in So FLA

One out!

That's one!

Who has been here since 12:00 noon?

Reddevil - August 13, 2008 reply

well

in and out.

Reddevil - August 13, 2008 reply

here

in and out actually

I thought you had a meeting . . .

it was at my desk...

I think I missed the first three innings of tonight

But that is it

and who's been here from outside the US??

Me

On and Off

Aussie Cub - August 13, 2008 reply

MOCubsfan - August 13, 2008 reply

got here late..

Now I'm here

Not me...

Do I get a gold star??? :-)

ME

dtpollitt - August 13, 2008 reply

lurking around all day

except when driving home from work and an hour at the gym

Marshall dispatches Prado quickly

one out

Two out!

TWO!

Just got in, nice job tonight!!

Harden was shaky with all the walks but he looked fine otherwise.

Ummmmm.....

who pitches Sunday? Marshall again?

Gibbon Jockey - August 13, 2008 reply

maybe Jeff Spellcheck

and Sean Tallshall will split it, 4.5 innings each.

Hey Braves announcers

No blue L flag tonight!!! LOL

Guess we can still wave the W flags double!!!!!!!!!!1

PhillyCub - August 13, 2008 reply

2 down...

Cubbies 2nd of the day...

Marshall K's Sammons

Marshall, 10 pitches, 8 strikes, 2 balls

efficient

It was a good day

Reddevil - August 13, 2008 reply

someone have a link to the song?

sure!

don't know if that worked.

this should

thanks.

gah

or so I thought

Impressive day..

2-0 and outscored the Braves 18-2

mkcubs21 - August 13, 2008 reply

back to 4 games up

on the Sud-duds?

pending their game, yes

make mine a double...

and good luck to the Friars!!

tracy homers, snakes trim the deficit to 3-1

Not that anyone cares

but Peavy was scratched and Josh Banks is pitching for the Friars against CC.

Don’t see Brewers losing tonite.

CUBS WIN!!

Gibbon Jockey - August 13, 2008 reply

Fontenot was chatting it up with the fans

Don’t know if he already knew them or not

hehe

that one

really is quite odd.

but its a 150 ft Jesus

holding a cubs win sign…whats not to like about it? lol
