as a Cub in Cincy and he hit what would have later this season been one of those instant replay boundary calls. they called it a foul ball but it hit the foul pole. He could still probably hit better than DOME.
And where are my lemon bars, Sue?? It’s 7pm and I’m starting to get hungry but don’t know what to make for dinner, so I need a treat to distract my hunger :)
if you remember our discussion a while back. “Score score score, kill kill kill, smash ’em and destroy ’em!” Been reading my Street and Smith’s NFL Preview a little too much, I guess.
Let's do this!!!!
sue369 - August 23, 2008
Big runs today
ChicagoRalph - August 23, 2008
It's great day for a ballgame
Let’s score some runs.
Weeghman Park - August 23, 2008
wow call me stupid, but
i didnt realize that demp was going for win #15 today…he could get 20 wins this year!!
preachermancubsfan - August 23, 2008
I hope he does.
I’ve always liked Demp.
sue369 - August 23, 2008
me too...
imagine his contract #’s if he does thogh
preachermancubsfan - August 23, 2008
I hope they
try and keep him.
sue369 - August 23, 2008
i think both sides will
try to stay…he loves us, we love him.
preachermancubsfan - August 23, 2008
one big group hug
I hope he stays too. Hope we don’t have to sing Kumbaya, though
Emelie - August 23, 2008
Ryan deserves it.
I can’t think of a better teammate. He has done everything the Cubs have asked during his time in Chicago.
cowsarecool220 - August 23, 2008
yep
sue369 - August 23, 2008
great teammate
the guy IS team chemistry!
LAcarl519 - August 23, 2008
Kosuke
in the 8 hole.
kentmeister - August 23, 2008
Dempster has his back
LAcarl519 - August 23, 2008
FIFTH! haha
SouthsideCUBSfan - August 23, 2008
crap... sorry
Didnt mean for that to be so big
SouthsideCUBSfan - August 23, 2008
for a fifth
i’d’ve guessed bourbon
tim815 - August 23, 2008
that would have been more creative now wouldnt it have
SouthsideCUBSfan - August 23, 2008
What a specimen!
Emelie - August 23, 2008
you were sixth too, lol
preachermancubsfan - August 23, 2008
thanks for the reminder
need to head to the liquor store! :-)
kentmeister - August 23, 2008
GO CUBS
Emelie - August 23, 2008

LAcarl519 - August 23, 2008
hooray!
Emelie - August 23, 2008
GOOD!!!!
sue369 - August 23, 2008
I think today is going to be a BIG game for the Cubs... my predictions.....
Dempster 8 1/3 innings 6 K’s, 4 hits, 2 walks
Ramirez 1 HR, 3 RBI’s
Kosuke 3-4 as a wake up call with a double and an RBI
Cubs win 6-0
SouthsideCUBSfan - August 23, 2008
that leadoff guy needs a
pun for his name
tim815 - August 23, 2008
I love his name
what was it? Emilio Bonafacio or something? For some reason I immediately thought of Donny Bonnaduci or however you spell it
Emelie - August 23, 2008
or benadryl
tim815 - August 23, 2008
lol
Emelie - August 23, 2008
Will Farrell saw his once
and was seen calling, “Emilio! Emilio!!!!”
kentmeister - August 23, 2008
"him"
kentmeister - August 23, 2008
Here's Willie
Weeghman Park - August 23, 2008

sue369 - August 23, 2008
demp fearing harris' power
tim815 - August 23, 2008
Was that an UIBB?
Weeghman Park - August 23, 2008
Goodness gracious!
Has Willie Harris morphed into Babe Ruth?
cowsarecool220 - August 23, 2008
lets go GB!!!
preachermancubsfan - August 23, 2008

preachermancubsfan - August 23, 2008

Let's get a bunch of runs!!!!!
sue369 - August 23, 2008
Whew DP
anyone else have muffled sound from CSN?
Emelie - August 23, 2008
Maybe there's invisible fog at Wrigley?
cowsarecool220 - August 23, 2008
heehee
Emelie - August 23, 2008
we beat him last series
tim815 - August 23, 2008
their sound has been so miserable,
i leave off the volume
tim815 - August 23, 2008
Mine doesn't
seem too bad.
sue369 - August 23, 2008
hmm...
I’ve got volume cranked but it’s hell when commercials come on…have to quickly get it back down… then up for the game… sigh
Emelie - August 23, 2008
Hmmm,
that is strange.
sue369 - August 23, 2008
maybe it's my set
the pictures dark now too
Emelie - August 23, 2008
Have you had problems
like this before?
sue369 - August 23, 2008
other channels OK
it’s craptastic CSN…thank goodness (in a way) cuz I can’t afford any more technology melt down/losses.
Emelie - August 23, 2008
Ah, ok.
sue369 - August 23, 2008
I am listening to Pat Hughes and Eeyore
Ryno72 - August 23, 2008
single to left
2 on 1 out
ledges getting crowded
til scrappyness starts a twin-gnat-killing
tim815 - August 23, 2008
their left fielder doesn't hop
on routine flyballs.
someone should show fonzie that
tim815 - August 23, 2008
Sigh...
I hope Fonzie hops 20 times today…means a good game for the Cubs.
Curtain Jerker - August 23, 2008
As long as it doesn't make him
miss the fly balls, why do you care?

just for fun
preachermancubsfan - August 23, 2008
He's not going
to change the way he plays. It’s not hurting anything.
sue369 - August 23, 2008
scrappy hit!
preachermancubsfan - August 23, 2008
the riot almost
wipes out the benadryl at second
tim815 - August 23, 2008
Lee tries to give them a DP ball
but they only got the riot @ 2nd.
Ryno72 - August 23, 2008
yep im sure he tried
preachermancubsfan - August 23, 2008
i was just being silly.
Ryno72 - August 23, 2008
Washigton Nationals Defense...
Feel the excitment!
Curtain Jerker - August 23, 2008
making the routine exciting
for about 4 years now
tim815 - August 23, 2008
You know, they kind of remind me of the 2006 Cubs.
cowsarecool220 - August 23, 2008
That's probably a low blow...
…to the Nats. That 2006 Cubs team was a fistful of terrible.
Curtain Jerker - August 23, 2008
Out of my 21-hour coma, ready for action!
DLee woulda had that throw…
O, irony.

Close towns:
Kettering, Peterborough, Alconbury, Huntingdon, Wellingborough, Northampton…. :)
sanantonecub - August 23, 2008
now I know why New England is called New England
just kidding… but half those towns are also in Massachusetts and NH, lol!
Emelie - August 23, 2008
There's also a town called York an hour away by train
I think there’s a “new” one of those on that side of the pond ;)
sanantonecub - August 23, 2008
I cycled through Fulking today,
They have to be careful with the road signs. There us a ricver Uck nearby and the sign is cut so there is no space at all to the left of the U.

tim815 - August 23, 2008
Anybody else think it's funny,
that the Nats got the Met’s catcher of the future (Flores) in the rule 5 draft and then traded the Nats for their catcher Brian Schneider.
cowsarecool220 - August 23, 2008
i'm wondering if the cubs will make any
rule 5 waves in december
tim815 - August 23, 2008
GEO with a base hit

CaliCub - August 23, 2008
Does the walk count?

Hey Len's giving Sanantone a shoutout!
Emelie - August 23, 2008
I heard that too.
sue369 - August 23, 2008
Heard it
Didnt put two & two together
Stan Cox - August 23, 2008
Damnit, I wasn't paying attention!!!!!
sanantonecub - August 23, 2008
He thanked you for your service
Emelie - August 23, 2008
Does that thanks come with free tickets?
sanantonecub - August 23, 2008
no harm in asking ;-)
Emelie - August 23, 2008
Will I be too picky if I ask specifically for all playoff tix?
sanantonecub - August 23, 2008
it's the least we can do for our country's heros, doncha think?
Emelie - August 23, 2008
Well, *I* think so!!!!!
I’m not biased or anything though.
BTW, I’m not the hero – the heroes are the ones that are downrange right now.
sanantonecub - August 23, 2008
did he really?
that’s too cool!
Bump Bailey - August 23, 2008
The personal shoutout would of come in the form of...
Pointing out the fact that the game is being aired around the world for troops stationed overseas on AFN… yada yada.
Not by personal name for me :(
sanantonecub - August 23, 2008
ok...
still nice tho…
Bump Bailey - August 23, 2008
might as well
bunt
tim815 - August 23, 2008

They must learn fear
Clutch16 - August 23, 2008
walking Sori
sue369 - August 23, 2008
his defense yesterday was his best all season
Emelie - August 23, 2008
And Al didn't talk about it all that much in his recap
It’s a conspiracy!

HAHA!

Dammit, Riot ripped that one!
At least he was right on that one. I see good things coming…..
Itchy - August 23, 2008
5 LOB after 2 innings...
my guess is we will put a crooked number on this guy soon.
timely hits with RISP have not been happening much lately. we are WAY overdue.
LAcarl519 - August 23, 2008
frustratingly so
Emelie - August 23, 2008
Just got in
and it appears we’re having some (temporary) issues scoring on Odalis Perez, eh?
DWChaney - August 23, 2008
Hopefully, only semi-temporary
Vermont Cubs Fan - August 23, 2008
I think we're going to light up Perez by the 5th.
Just a hunch.
Seeing as how MLB has decided I cannot watch this game on TV, I’m left with Gaecast. Sigh.
DWChaney - August 23, 2008
Yahoo gamecast?
I’ve got the same problem … MLB Gameday doesn’t work for me on this computer here
Vermont Cubs Fan - August 23, 2008
ESPN Gamecast
DWChaney - August 23, 2008
eww
chitownhawkeye - August 23, 2008
Ehh. it works for me in my office at work, and i'm stuck at work today nd tomorrow :( during boith Cubs games
DWChaney - August 23, 2008
i understand, I work 2nd shift, so I'm stuck with the computer for most games
I just prefer mlb gameday
chitownhawkeye - August 23, 2008
You probably still have it better than me
No DirecTV, so no WGN Cubs games.
Vermont Cubs Fan - August 23, 2008
How many guys have we left on
in the last week? We have to start bringing them home
chitownhawkeye - August 23, 2008

Would DevinHester be your new gnome's name?
Vermont Cubs Fan - August 23, 2008
Not sure. I'm
a fan of Robbie Gould so maybe some variation on that.
sue369 - August 23, 2008
anyone surprised sue would name her latest
after geo?
not me
tim815 - August 23, 2008
Cool..
Gonna get a Bulls gnome too?
Bump Bailey - August 23, 2008
Probably not.
sue369 - August 23, 2008
so football's your favorite sport?
Emelie - August 23, 2008
I like them
all but football a little more than the others.
sue369 - August 23, 2008

Hey Sue...

Someone's been sneaking Viagra to your cat!
cowsarecool220 - August 23, 2008
you betcha
fortunately he was just crawling over me to get to a comfy napping spot on the couch (whew)
Emelie - August 23, 2008
He's been.."fixed"?
Bump Bailey - August 23, 2008
yep. if he's like this now, can you imagine?
I shudder to think.
Emelie - August 23, 2008
Nice graB Riot!
Charlie Hustle in left wanted no part of that one!
Itchy - August 23, 2008
Actually it looks like
Sori was close enough to have made the catch, if Riot hadn’t been there and called him off.
ChipSet - August 23, 2008
Agreed but he was tippy-toeing his way over there.
He just never looks that confident out there.
Itchy - August 23, 2008
Take THAT Willie Harris
Having a bit more trouble creaming the ball off Ryan Dempster, eh?
DWChaney - August 23, 2008
Demp is not the bullpen
VegasCubFan - August 23, 2008
Hopefully,
neither is Howry :)
leothelip - August 23, 2008
I cringe at the mention
Emelie - August 23, 2008
Hopefully he pitches the 8th as mop-up
leothelip - August 23, 2008
nooooooooooooooo
Emelie - August 23, 2008
…with a 12 run lead?
leothelip - August 23, 2008
noooooooooooooooooo
he is creative in the ways he can blow a lead, any lead, pick a lead
Emelie - August 23, 2008
Only if we're up by more than six.

slcathena - August 23, 2008
Yeah it was.
But those games happen once in a while.
sue369 - August 23, 2008
welcome back, slcathena! it's been a while
Emelie - August 23, 2008
I know, I had to move across the country.
Anyone else in Boston? I seem to remember at least one other person in the area but I’m blanking on who…
slcathena - August 23, 2008
what part of Boston? My old stomping ground
Emelie - August 23, 2008
I'm working in Lexington
but live in Wakefield. :)
slcathena - August 23, 2008
pretty towns both
Emelie - August 23, 2008
So gorgeous.
I fell in love with both pretty much immediately.
And dude, that lake in the center of Wakefield with the old style main street and the great churches?! Crazy awesome.
slcathena - August 23, 2008
wait till the fall with the trees every color ... gorgeous
New England rocks
Emelie - August 23, 2008
Awesome.
Where did you live? Where are you now?
slcathena - August 23, 2008
I'm in Chicago now. Lived here for 14 years and counting
love it.
Emelie - August 23, 2008
DeRo!
Base hit!
chitownhawkeye - August 23, 2008
YAY!!!!
slcathena - August 23, 2008
BTW, the mlb.com feed
is about 8-10 seconds behind when you are seeing things on CSN. very slow.
LAcarl519 - August 23, 2008
nice rope dero
tim815 - August 23, 2008
Bases clogged and one out
Bring them home!!!!!
sue369 - August 23, 2008
Johnson on second, right?
Just checking, b/c Yahoo is showing me two on…with Lee on second and DeRo on first.
Go figure!
Vermont Cubs Fan - August 23, 2008
Bags clogged with Cubs!
Time for a big hit!!
Itchy - August 23, 2008
we keep getting RISP...
time to produce!!!
LAcarl519 - August 23, 2008
Things are not going well today
Itchy - August 23, 2008
oooh Mad Geo
Emelie - August 23, 2008
em
speak
grunt
words
tim815 - August 23, 2008
lol
Emelie - August 23, 2008
santo has to be having a canniption fit
tim815 - August 23, 2008
so was Geo
LAcarl519 - August 23, 2008
Do not want to see 8 LOB
after 3 innings unless we score a buncha runs first.
ChipSet - August 23, 2008
ugh
hey all….can we get some runs already?
cubswynn - August 23, 2008
Geo's pissed off!
sue369 - August 23, 2008
Poor my Geo. :(
slcathena - August 23, 2008
and when Geo’s pissed off, so is Sue :)
leothelip - August 23, 2008
No just
makes me want to comfort him.
sue369 - August 23, 2008
c'mon Dome
Take another walk
chitownhawkeye - August 23, 2008
dammit!
chitownhawkeye - August 23, 2008
How many are we going to leave on
Hits with RISP have been overdue for us for a while.
Vermont Cubs Fan - August 23, 2008
Really?
Seems like they’ve been doing a pretty good job of driving them in. They did score five runs yesterday.
Not Bruce Froemming - August 23, 2008
I count 7 today with 2 outs
leothelip - August 23, 2008
Sorry
Missed most of the game yesterday … I was working.
Vermont Cubs Fan - August 23, 2008
Turns out I didn't miss that much
I was unable to track it online after the Cubs led 4-0.
Vermont Cubs Fan - August 23, 2008
count yourself lucky. worst game of the season in every way
Emelie - August 23, 2008
Great minds think alike?
Not Bruce Froemming - August 23, 2008
In this case, yes
I should make it to more games, though … my lifetime Cubs record in attendance is 5-0.
Vermont Cubs Fan - August 23, 2008
As it turns out
you didn’t miss much.
Not Bruce Froemming - August 23, 2008
God, Dome is becoming a joke at the plate
Itchy - August 23, 2008
ohhhhh gawd.... RISP RISP RISP
Emelie - August 23, 2008
I'm looking for....
situation hitting, the Cubs seem to have misplaced it.
VegasCubFan - August 23, 2008
Weren’t a unch of them going to a concert last night?
leothelip - August 23, 2008
yep Vedder's
Emelie - August 23, 2008
Some did.
sue369 - August 23, 2008
LOB = blizzard
LAcarl519 - August 23, 2008
Odalis Perez
Cy Young to his opponents.
VegasCubFan - August 23, 2008
Here we go
Not Bruce Froemming - August 23, 2008
i've got to take off
Please talk them into getting some runs
chitownhawkeye - August 23, 2008
will do
Emelie - August 23, 2008
jinx
sue369 - August 23, 2008
hee
Emelie - August 23, 2008
Will do
sue369 - August 23, 2008
Jinx?
Not Bruce Froemming - August 23, 2008
yep :)
sue369 - August 23, 2008
Pinch Poke
You owe me a Coke
CaliCub - August 23, 2008
I Hate Waste
RISP, uneaten food, hose water when the neighbors go back in the house….I HATE IT
CaliCub - August 23, 2008
Me too.
Mega pet peeve. :(
slcathena - August 23, 2008
Where Have You Gone Joe Pepitone?
Weeghman Park - August 23, 2008
Japan?
CaliCub - August 23, 2008
one of my favorites ever
Emelie - August 23, 2008
His sideburns
had their own area code, I think.
Not Bruce Froemming - August 23, 2008
To Atlanta for Andre Thornton, I believe :)
leothelip - August 23, 2008
Unrealized Potential
Shoulda hit 400+ HRs and multi Gold Gloves but he was too busy partying and fooling around.
CaliCub - August 23, 2008
very true and he never really grew out of it
Emelie - August 23, 2008
Poor him *lol
leothelip - August 23, 2008
and to think
he broke in with mantle
tim815 - August 23, 2008
Not To Nitpick But
Pepitone broke in back in 63, and Mantle broke in back in 51.
CaliCub - August 23, 2008
I saw his first at bat
as a Cub in Cincy and he hit what would have later this season been one of those instant replay boundary calls. they called it a foul ball but it hit the foul pole. He could still probably hit better than DOME.
Weeghman Park - August 23, 2008
GENTLE!
VegasCubFan - August 23, 2008
lol!
Emelie - August 23, 2008
Starting pitcher
Do you think it drives Dempster and the other starters crazy when no runs get scored against a low-end team like the Nats?
VegasCubFan - August 23, 2008
He’s having to battle every inning himself — a huge energy spend on a humid day
leothelip - August 23, 2008
No
They realize it’s all part of the game. Something fans don’t get a lot of times.
Not Bruce Froemming - August 23, 2008
Snarling Geo
Emelie - August 23, 2008
Hidden Riot?
Clutch16 - August 23, 2008
Yeah, he's not
a happy camper today.
sue369 - August 23, 2008
So Emelie...
Where are my brownies??
And where are my lemon bars, Sue?? It’s 7pm and I’m starting to get hungry but don’t know what to make for dinner, so I need a treat to distract my hunger :)
sanantonecub - August 23, 2008
Dude if
I had a way to zap them to you I would. Sorry!
sue369 - August 23, 2008
We'll have to work
on inventing that technology :)
sanantonecub - August 23, 2008
I got the apron on but the cat distracted me
I’ll get right on it, soldier.
Emelie - August 23, 2008
Airman!
Not soldier!
sanantonecub - August 23, 2008
yikes! bad mistake :D
Emelie - August 23, 2008
While you're at it...
make me up a batch of slaw, will ya?
Bump Bailey - August 23, 2008
Not until my brownies are done!
sanantonecub - August 23, 2008
LOL..
but she’s and excellent multi-tasker..
Bump Bailey - August 23, 2008
Right
But that doesn’t mean she’s able to still make your slaw ;)
sanantonecub - August 23, 2008
TWHS
CaliCub - August 23, 2008
calm down, guys... I whip up the slaw while the brownies are baking
anything special you want in the brownies, sanantone?
Emelie - August 23, 2008
Where do you live, Sanantone?
leothelip - August 23, 2008
England
sanantonecub - August 23, 2008
I taught in London for a few years…
leothelip - August 23, 2008
Fun stuff.
sanantonecub - August 23, 2008
Well, Dempster is doing his part.
Let’s get the man some runs so he can get his 15th win!
cowsarecool220 - August 23, 2008
Agreed.
I’m always so sad when our pitching is there and we can’t bring the runs in. :(
Nothing more frustrating than out-hitting a team and losing with a quality start. GRRR!
slcathena - August 23, 2008
ledges getting crowded
tim815 - August 23, 2008
No ledges necessary here.
I’m by no means throwing in the towel, or even pessimistic at the moment—just pointing out something that is (obviously) very frustrating. ;)
slcathena - August 23, 2008
Worried The Offense Will Start To Press
Which will prolong the struggles to score runs.
CaliCub - August 23, 2008
You know, they did score five yesterday
and that’s usually been enough to win.
One game, not even fully complete, does not constitute a struggle.
Not Bruce Froemming - August 23, 2008
I'm Talking "Relative To Today"
CaliCub - August 23, 2008
You get a lot of guys on base
you leave a lot of guys on base. Think this is bad? You should watch a Cardinals game sometime. Seems like every game they leave a ton on base.
Anyway, things are looking up.
Not Bruce Froemming - August 23, 2008
I'm In Football Mentality Mode
if you remember our discussion a while back. “Score score score, kill kill kill, smash ’em and destroy ’em!” Been reading my Street and Smith’s NFL Preview a little too much, I guess.
CaliCub - August 23, 2008
I'm all for going for the jugular
but a 3-2 win is as good as a 10-0 one. Football can wait. :)
Not Bruce Froemming - August 23, 2008

sue369 - August 23, 2008
sutton doing radio for the gnats
shouldn’t he deserve a pro gig?
tim815 - August 23, 2008
Like with the Braves?
Clutch16 - August 23, 2008
Always Liked Sutton
Good dependable pitcher, worked the plate, very consistent.
CaliCub - August 23, 2008
1-0!
CaliCub - August 23, 2008
4-0!
CaliCub - August 23, 2008
I like your posts
every time you post, we have more runs!
BigJohnAZ - August 23, 2008
See I Told You All They Wouldn't Struggle!
/ducks for cover
CaliCub - August 23, 2008
I can hear NBF now
“ye of little faith” LOL
BigJohnAZ - August 23, 2008
Ye of little faith
Sorry, BigJohn, had to hit that hanging curve. :)
