dfa ward!!!

What?? nevermind!!

WARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Holy Crap!

Go Ward!

I don't believe what I have just seen
NICE FREAKIN' THREAD!
holy holy holy shit
go nuts

omg go mutsssssssssssssss monster shottttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt!! cmon kerry we need ya

THAT WAS A BOMB!!!!!!
Any more complaints about DWard tonight?
Hopefully Ward's bought himself a day w/o 'em. :-P
None here!

But I’ve always been in his camp..

maybe there IS a God
YESSSSSSSSS

That could be the hit of the thus far!

I guess that would be a "Blown Save" for fancy glasses boy
I just turned the radio on!

Attaboy Darryl! Wheeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Marlins TV stunned
I give it to Marlins TV though

They have been giving the cubs props where and when called for. Good crew if you ask me.

I agree

They’ve been pretty informative, and impressively objective on things like the varying strikezone. It’s nice when the opposing TV isn’t a painful experience, and these guys definitely aren’t.

The power of...

the RALLY CAP!!.. Listening to the game on mlb radio…. grabbed the cap flipped inside out and the next thing you know HOME RUN!!!!

2 Observations:

1) Gaudin, he’s the “win” vulture

2) I hate one-run road saves — they make me REALLY nervous (per my name)

marmol

needs to get the job done. let’s get the first victory in miami since 2005!!

it's Woody

in spite of 20+ pitches yesterday. Lou wants to get him “back on the horse”

what doesn't make you nervous?
Wood in the bullpen now.
Awesome Comeback

now lets go get em Kerry!

kerry is

not available, right?

He was up

Only one I saw up

I'm only listening to the game on the internet feed

how many Cubs fans are in the stands? Sounds like a home game.

28K

was the announced attendance…. sounds like at least half that are bleeding cubbie blue

COME ON WOODY SHUT EM DOWN!!!
Inconceivable

:)

I don't think that word means what you think it means

wheeeeeeeeee!

LOL LOL LOL LOL

give me some wood, please.

i would say i am sick of the Cantu Can-Not jokes....

but i could get stung by a hive of hornets and smacked in the ballz by a baseball, and i would be happy

Preacherman - you predicted this

With your wayward rally monkey. This is a huge monkey off of Ward’s back!

28K attendance 2 night

15K last night v. St Louis

people love the cubs....are they really playing the bulls entrance music?
Pat on the radio =

“the number of Cubs fans in the stands far outnumber the Marlins fans”

you could hear the dripping sarcasm.

That homer means zero if we cant get these 3 outs

LETS GO CUBS!!

let's not think can'ts

shut ’em down!!

LOVE the music at Dolphins Stadium

Just a little cliched? LOL

what is it?
Opera music!

O Fortuna by Carl Hoff

Carl ORFF

My high school chorus did Carmina Burana – Freshman year and Senior year.

Come on WOOD!

Finish em’

a win tonight would sure get a lot of monkeys off their backs

please!!!

Let's not talk any more of monkeys =)
Is this Wood's first save opportunity

since he’s been back?

yes says pat
first save opportunity for the cubs in 12 days
i would give my left nut for a 1-2-3 inning
geez

Thats a little extreme dont you think?

1908
how bout just shaving them?
yeah but

Dont you….ehh nevermind

how do you think the '93 phillies made the WS?

john kruk

Didnt they lose that WS?
do you have three?
Somewhere in Chicago

Ron Santo’s neighbors are cleaning up the broken glass after the thunderous YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSS!!!

Santo belted out after the Ward HR

Johnson now in left; Dome in right
someone tell the other thread

we’re here?

walked him

ok. get the double play.

technically, for the record, that won't officially count as a 1-2-3 inning
argh

throw strikes!

I thought those were good pitches.

Wood did get him to swing on one of those, then the second one he laid off for the walk. Still I thought it was smart pitching.

good pitching, Kerry!
Hermida foul tip - still 0-2
Gotta catch that Soto!
Cardinals win 5-3
Just strike out already!
Nice try there Biggio...
Thats funny

I thought that exact same thing when he whipped around.

actually

replay shows it caught his sleeve… but I don’t think those should count at all.

how long has this thread been up?
come on pat! that is like the 4th time this year you have given out a premature k
you can take a pill for that
Preparation K?
couple of fouls - still 1-2
Nervous, if this is brutal Think about how you'd feel minus one "nut" as you said before

Then mentioned a World Series team that lost in 1993

foul ball - still 2-2
Fuckkkkkkkkkkk comon am supposed to leave work at 9
just took 3rd Xanax
Another foul tip miscalled by pat

Damnit

Nothing I see that Wood is doing wrong,

just some really good at bats for the Marlins here. Another foul tip. Catch that, Geo!

damn...

smoke em!

STRIKEOUT!!!!!!!

2 OUTS

Finally!

2 down.

at least 10 pitches!
Yep, it was 10
KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

We're into Tapani Territory!!!

The Magic Number is now 36 after 9 straight road wins!

GO CUBS GO!! GO CUBS GO!! Hey Chicago what’d’ya say… The Cubs just went out and won today!

(Or Sean Gallagher territory… or Koyie Hill territory… or probably more popular, SARGE!!!! (Gary Matthews Sr.) terriroty, as all wore #36, of course.)

Shaky outing for Woody but a win is a win, and now we root for the Dodgers to knock around Manny Parra. Lets go Chad Billingsly!!! (There should be a game thread for that one, if I do say so myself, as the Dodgers are red hot and the Brewers are as well… I know i’ll be following it closely.)

manny be(at)ing manny
CUBS WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
CUBS WIN!!!!

CUBS WIN!!!!CUBS WIN!!!!CUBS WIN!!!!CUBS WIN!!!!CUBS WIN!!!!CUBS WIN!!!!CUBS WIN!!!!

Let''s Hang the Goat Out to Dry!

Let's Hang the Goat Out to Dry!

This is one of those games

You see highlights of in Championship DVD sets

Attaboy Kerry! Wheeeeeeeeeeeee
BIG W!!!!!!!!

Remaining Living Cast Members

Sid Caesar
Jonathan Winters
Mickey Rooney
Dorothy Provine
Edie Adams

Sid Caesar is still alive?

Isn’t he a thousand years old by now.

The fact that only five of the cast are still with us is a little depressing, especially when you consider that the cast contained every single actor and actress in the history of film.

Sorry, I Meant Just The Main Players

who were in the “Big W” scene and the fire escape scene. And at that, I forgot that Peter Falk is still with us. D’oh!

Ill take all the credit

I busted out my rally bat, a foam bat, and sure enough, DWard went deep… feels good, and I’ll take all the credit

Credit is given...

WHAT A GAME!

WHAT A TEAM! WHAT A YEAR!!

That's the best

(except for De-ro as superman)

Santos...that is awesome!

Get that Marlin!

Holy shit!

Its the Sistine chapel of Cubdom!

He's UNSTOPPABLE!!!
nice catch!

let’s hope you get another one tomorrow!!

That was

one hell of win. My heart is still racing.

God damn I love this team.

I like how he's wearing an Iowa Cubs Jersey...

We don’t want him down here.

30 pitches by wood.... 3 games in a row..we'll see marmol tomorrow
I'm hoping we win by 10

and saves are not an issue.

Billingsley on the mound tonight for the Dodgers...

Hopefuly, it’s “Chad” not “Barbara”

Dodgers also dodge both Sabithia & Sheets this weekend
Mrs. Beaver?
Errrr...I mean Cleaver?
CUBS WIN!!!!! CUBS WIN!!!! CUBS WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Daryle Ward

Is awesome…

I really like everything he had to say in his post-game interview…

PHelps just won another gold
With another WR to go along with it?
Yabut

Remember when D-Ward hit that homer?!

That was awesome.

didn't say it wasn't
Do you remember when

That was a great

SNL skit! I miss Farley!

His fly is PERFECT

I don’t know how he stays so shallow on his finish. Especially towards the end of the 200. He’s fantastic.

obviosly... TWSS
It was very close. WOW!!!

what a race.

Geeked for the relay tomorrow.

:-)

Is he a bullpen catcher for the Marlins?

But I thought we won?

only things missing from today's classic

were a

“watch it”

and a few

“whew boy” s

holy crap

did anyone just see phelps??? it was the most amazing thing ive ever saw!!! came from a half body link down with 25 meters, and won b y .001 of a second

The most amazing thing I ever saw

Happened about 30 minutes ago

CUBS WIN!

this was a good win for the cubs...

but it doesnt even hold a candle to what just happened in beijing

im so excited...

im literally crying…

AMAZING!!!

He is just awesome.

For the Suds, who had to be scoreboard watching

while warming up in LA, this had to be a deflating start to their night. Hooray!!

This could not be a better finish. Go Dodgers (and I can’t stand the Dodgers!!)

disheartening, i'd say
And It's Moyer v Maddux

tonight @ Petco. Maddux’s first appearence in the show was in relief of Moyer.

Combined, they are one-hundred-thirty-six years old.

You here, Jessica?

I didn't know that about Maddux

that is very cool.

Is that a record for combined ages of pitchers?

if not, it’s gotta be right up there.

Those numbers seem off

That means they’d each be over 65 years old. Moyer is 45 and Maddux is 42 (I think).

Jamie Moyer is having himself a very nice year, especially considering what park he calls home.

mentioned this earlier

had my wife pick up some fish, fried it up when we got down… and look what happened!!!!! CUBS WIN! CUBS WIN!!!

thanks for taking one for the team!
you are soooo welcome!!!

and the fish was awesome!!!

so

who called it earlier? When we got out of the inning without the Marlins scoring?

They called it. Cubswynn, right?

Prolly. Cubswynn was on a roll all night.

:-)

It was.

Nice call.

Holy God

that was a ridiculous swimming race. Jesus.

That combined with the Cubs’ win and I’m out of breath right now.

I totally thought he was a gonner there...

what a comeback!

OT : Phelps take gold #7

just flipped on tv

d'oh I didnt realize that was talked about above
is that an amazing shot on the TV or what?

From behind Ward towards the Cubs dugout on the left-field side… he swings…

and 2/3 of the fans ERUPT in joy, because they’re CUBS FANS.

Pat said he saw a camera view from down the 1B line into the dugout

the boys knew it the second it left the bat. he was all giggly.

I saw that

AWESOME!

gOOD NIGHT EVERYONE

I woke up my children with all of my screaming after the Ward homer…

What a team… see you tomorrow

It's been a long road back to .500 away from Wrigley

Now let’s get over .500 this weekend and stay there the rest of the way

28 games over .500

nine wins in a row on the road. We’re .500 on the road, now, right?

Yep.

30-30 I think.

yep 30-30

I love changing the number on my white board :)

we need pictures

of the whiteboard.

Pix

Or it didn’t happen. :P

ok I will take a picture of it.

when my sister scans the pics for me I’ll have that be one. :)

dude

get a digital camera

Gail's On The Post Game!

My night is complete.

+1

Hmmmm…Gail!

I think the neighbors in my apartment building really hate me

Always screaming always yelling….

AND THERE ALL WHITE SOX FANS HAHAHA!

you need to move
One of the best wins of the year

against the Marlins that all seem to be mean, big, home run hitters, while the Cubs seem to never get any breaks agains them….. until now!

who got the W?
gaudin, o ye of little faith!
little faith??

wha? im strong like bull!! lol

just kidding :-)
i would say a 'vulture' win,

but he deserved it

gaudin
mAGIC NUMBER 36

Yup… I just said it.

"GO DODGERS!" (just like it was screamed in my face at dodger stadium)
Dodger Stadium = Jerkapalooza

The Dodger fans that go have no knowledge of the game or the other teams. Nor do they have an appreciation for good players on the opposition. They’re like “We don’t care who’s on the other team, and besides if they’re not on the Dodgers then they suck”.

And what was said about the stadium experience is very true – they just want you to cheer obnoxiously whenever LA does something good and boo whatever the other team does.

28 games above .500
Yep...

fun innit?

Fun?

Is there a stronger word? B/c its kind of mind boggling.

Remarkable?...Astounding?
Inconceivable!

Said with a Wallace Shawn lisp.

All of the above?
Just heard the replay of Pat's call on Ward's HR...

One of his best, “swung on, this ball’s got a chaaaannnce, GONE!”.

Did anyone notice

that Ward did the same thing that everyone was on Soriano for, he admired his home run and then did the trot around the base rag.

His ball cleared the fence, though
No guarantee that it would
everyone at field level knew it

hell, most people in the stadium and watching on tv knew it.

Aside from all the excitement about finally winning in Florida

I love that we showed we can hit their closer. That always feels like such a huge edge for the series.

Ward's homer was efffing huge...

but DeRo’s was big too…got us right back in the game when it looked bleak.

DeRo was great.

3 walks. That was great to see.

going into the 9th I hadnt given up

that is what I love

when LBR's shot

was caught, I edged towards despondent.

When Wood hit

whoever the RMG was… I was a little jumpy.

although I did miss Phelps race
I didn't.

I said “I think Woody can do it… but I can’t watch” and flipped back to ch 5. :-P.

+1

It did get tense right then..

I wish Phelps would have races like 5 minutes later

then I would have caught it.

I Called Wes Helms An A-Hole

so loudly that the dogs ran and hid.

true

hadnt totally given up maybe a better wording. past years I totally had

I was heading that way too..
10 minutes

Until the first pitch of the game between the Alcoholic Beverage Manufacturers of Milwaukee and the Paparazzi Dodgers of El Pueblo de Nuestra Senora la Reina de los Angeles de Poriuncula.

If you like speed

you’ll LOVE the 50m free.

so is the medal #8 going to be a tough one for Phelps?
The Americans are favored in the relay

but relay exchanges can be tricky…. as long as they’re clean they should win.

what about the one he just did

btw your right… I like the 50.

He just swam the 100 fly

his fly is incredible. if you were going to teach someone the picture perfect mechanics for fly you’d show them film of him.

Someone else

needs to do the Suds/Shifties game thread tonight.

I’m utterly drained.

I'll take it

If anyone will stick around for it, that is…

I will for awhile

I have TOTALLY screwed up my sleep schedule this week anyways

we're with ya
I'm not gonna follow it.

I’m kinda baseballed out for the night.

actually Im going be watching the Olympics

but I could follow along some on a thread. but I dont plan on listening to Brewers game.

shut 'em dowm, Chad!
f**k the brewers just scored 2 in the first
f the brewers, period!
f'it! we're going to the game!!!

report back 2morrow…

Protest filed over Phelps race?...

didn’t catch the whole thing…

where did you hear that?
Yeah.

They protested the timers. But it was denied b/c the overhead cameras confirmed the touch.

.001 of a second. WHAT a race!

thanks..

I thought it was denied….otherwise, NBC would have been all over it.

phelps = greatest swimmer of all time
+1

might give a sailfish a good race..:)

Wow~~

Im at work and last checked scores we were 4 down…what a pleasant surprise to log back in and see the final!!
Time to get the weekend cranked up and have a few beers.

Chill time starts now

Haveagoodweekend everyone

LA 4 MLK 3 top 8

Prince Feilder now sitting out in the all you can eat right field pavillion…………..belch

Sorry

Bottom of 7

I have been lurking for a while...

Man o man. What a win. I was able to see the 9th and 10th wins of the streak earlier this year. I was also privy to the 1st game of the braves double header. But HOLY COW tonights game was it. Whoever had the "Jesus is a cubs fan " picture is the man.

Go cubs go
