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 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.)
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
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.

sue369 - August 15, 2008
With another WR to go along with it?
Clutch16 - August 15, 2008
yes
sue369 - August 15, 2008
Sweet!
Clutch16 - August 15, 2008
Yabut
Remember when D-Ward hit that homer?!
That was awesome.
Reddevil - August 15, 2008
didn't say it wasn't
sue369 - August 15, 2008
Do you remember when
VillanuevaExperience - August 15, 2008
That was a great
SNL skit! I miss Farley!
love the ivy - August 16, 2008
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.
halfblindcubbiegirl - August 15, 2008
obviosly... TWSS
Reddevil - August 15, 2008
It was very close. WOW!!!
what a race.
sue369 - August 15, 2008
Geeked for the relay tomorrow.
:-)
halfblindcubbiegirl - August 15, 2008
Is he a bullpen catcher for the Marlins?
But I thought we won?
IowaCubs- - August 15, 2008
only things missing from today's classic
were a
“watch it”
and a few
“whew boy” s
tim815 - August 15, 2008
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
preachermancubsfan - August 15, 2008
The most amazing thing I ever saw
Happened about 30 minutes ago
CUBS WIN!
Galvan316 - August 15, 2008
this was a good win for the cubs...
but it doesnt even hold a candle to what just happened in beijing
preachermancubsfan - August 15, 2008
+1000
Bump Bailey - August 15, 2008
im so excited...
im literally crying…
preachermancubsfan - August 15, 2008
AMAZING!!!
He is just awesome.
sue369 - August 15, 2008
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!!)
LAcarl519 - August 15, 2008
disheartening, i'd say
tim815 - August 15, 2008
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?
San Diego Smooth Jazz Man - August 15, 2008
I didn't know that about Maddux
that is very cool.
halfblindcubbiegirl - August 15, 2008
Is that a record for combined ages of pitchers?
if not, it’s gotta be right up there.
Bump Bailey - August 15, 2008
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.
Curtain Jerker - August 15, 2008
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!!!
daily2b - August 15, 2008
thanks for taking one for the team!
IowaCubs- - August 15, 2008
you are soooo welcome!!!
and the fish was awesome!!!
daily2b - August 15, 2008
so
who called it earlier? When we got out of the inning without the Marlins scoring?
They called it. Cubswynn, right?
drewishdrewid - August 15, 2008
Prolly. Cubswynn was on a roll all night.
:-)
halfblindcubbiegirl - August 15, 2008
It was.
Nice call.
Clutch16 - August 15, 2008
Holy God
that was a ridiculous swimming race. Jesus.
That combined with the Cubs’ win and I’m out of breath right now.
Gator Cub - August 15, 2008
I totally thought he was a gonner there...
what a comeback!
IowaCubs- - August 15, 2008
OT : Phelps take gold #7
just flipped on tv
Madison Cub Fan - August 15, 2008
d'oh I didnt realize that was talked about above
Madison Cub Fan - August 15, 2008
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.
drewishdrewid - August 15, 2008
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.
halfblindcubbiegirl - August 15, 2008
I saw that
AWESOME!
wnielsen - August 15, 2008
gOOD NIGHT EVERYONE
I woke up my children with all of my screaming after the Ward homer…
What a team… see you tomorrow
IowaCubs- - August 15, 2008
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
Basman - August 15, 2008
28 games over .500
nine wins in a row on the road. We’re .500 on the road, now, right?
drewishdrewid - August 15, 2008
Yep.
30-30 I think.
halfblindcubbiegirl - August 15, 2008
Yes finally
Basman - August 15, 2008
yep 30-30
I love changing the number on my white board :)
Madison Cub Fan - August 15, 2008
we need pictures
of the whiteboard.
drewishdrewid - August 15, 2008
Pix
Or it didn’t happen. :P
Clutch16 - August 15, 2008
ok I will take a picture of it.
when my sister scans the pics for me I’ll have that be one. :)
Madison Cub Fan - August 15, 2008
dude
get a digital camera
joeschmitt - August 16, 2008

Hmmmm…Gail!
Bump Bailey - August 15, 2008
I think the neighbors in my apartment building really hate me
Always screaming always yelling….
AND THERE ALL WHITE SOX FANS HAHAHA!
Galvan316 - August 15, 2008
you need to move
joeschmitt - August 16, 2008
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!
epcub - August 15, 2008
who got the W?
preachermancubsfan - August 15, 2008
gaudin, o ye of little faith!
zevkalman - August 15, 2008
little faith??
wha? im strong like bull!! lol
preachermancubsfan - August 15, 2008
just kidding :-)
zevkalman - August 15, 2008
i would say a 'vulture' win,
but he deserved it
tim815 - August 15, 2008
gaudin
halfblindcubbiegirl - August 15, 2008
mAGIC NUMBER 36
Yup… I just said it.
IowaCubs- - August 15, 2008
"GO DODGERS!" (just like it was screamed in my face at dodger stadium)
tedinSoCal - August 15, 2008
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.
CaliCub - August 15, 2008
28 games above .500
Madison Cub Fan - August 15, 2008
Yep...
fun innit?
Bump Bailey - August 15, 2008
Fun?
Is there a stronger word? B/c its kind of mind boggling.
halfblindcubbiegirl - August 15, 2008
Remarkable?...Astounding?
Bump Bailey - August 15, 2008
Inconceivable!
Said with a Wallace Shawn lisp.
CaliCub - August 15, 2008
All of the above?
halfblindcubbiegirl - August 15, 2008
yep :)
Madison Cub Fan - August 15, 2008
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!”.
Bump Bailey - August 15, 2008
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.
bubbamike the one and only - August 15, 2008
His ball cleared the fence, though
Clutch16 - August 15, 2008
touche
cubsonWGN4ever - August 15, 2008
No guarantee that it would
bubbamike the one and only - August 15, 2008
everyone at field level knew it
hell, most people in the stadium and watching on tv knew it.
joeschmitt - August 16, 2008
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.
halfblindcubbiegirl - August 15, 2008
Ward's homer was efffing huge...
but DeRo’s was big too…got us right back in the game when it looked bleak.
Bump Bailey - August 15, 2008
true dat
drewishdrewid - August 15, 2008
DeRo was great.
3 walks. That was great to see.
halfblindcubbiegirl - August 15, 2008
going into the 9th I hadnt given up
that is what I love
Madison Cub Fan - August 15, 2008
when LBR's shot
was caught, I edged towards despondent.
drewishdrewid - August 15, 2008
When Wood hit
whoever the RMG was… I was a little jumpy.
halfblindcubbiegirl - August 15, 2008
although I did miss Phelps race
Madison Cub Fan - August 15, 2008
I didn't.
I said “I think Woody can do it… but I can’t watch” and flipped back to ch 5. :-P.
halfblindcubbiegirl - August 15, 2008
+1
It did get tense right then..
Bump Bailey - August 15, 2008
I wish Phelps would have races like 5 minutes later
then I would have caught it.
Madison Cub Fan - August 15, 2008
I Called Wes Helms An A-Hole
so loudly that the dogs ran and hid.
CaliCub - August 15, 2008
true
hadnt totally given up maybe a better wording. past years I totally had
Madison Cub Fan - August 15, 2008
I was heading that way too..
Bump Bailey - August 15, 2008
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.
Clutch16 - August 15, 2008
If you like speed
you’ll LOVE the 50m free.
halfblindcubbiegirl - August 15, 2008
so is the medal #8 going to be a tough one for Phelps?
Madison Cub Fan - August 15, 2008
The Americans are favored in the relay
but relay exchanges can be tricky…. as long as they’re clean they should win.
halfblindcubbiegirl - August 15, 2008
what about the one he just did
btw your right… I like the 50.
Madison Cub Fan - August 15, 2008
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.
halfblindcubbiegirl - August 15, 2008
Someone else
needs to do the Suds/Shifties game thread tonight.
I’m utterly drained.
drewishdrewid - August 15, 2008
I'll take it
If anyone will stick around for it, that is…
Clutch16 - August 15, 2008
I will for awhile
I have TOTALLY screwed up my sleep schedule this week anyways
Madison Cub Fan - August 15, 2008
we're with ya
daily2b - August 15, 2008
I'm not gonna follow it.
I’m kinda baseballed out for the night.
halfblindcubbiegirl - August 15, 2008
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.
Madison Cub Fan - August 15, 2008
It's alive!

daily2b - August 15, 2008
Protest filed over Phelps race?...
didn’t catch the whole thing…
Bump Bailey - August 15, 2008
where did you hear that?
lexmarklover - August 15, 2008
Yeah.
They protested the timers. But it was denied b/c the overhead cameras confirmed the touch.
.001 of a second. WHAT a race!
halfblindcubbiegirl - August 15, 2008
thanks..
I thought it was denied….otherwise, NBC would have been all over it.
Bump Bailey - August 15, 2008
phelps = greatest swimmer of all time
lexmarklover - August 15, 2008

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.
