every thing hurts, good or bad. the team hasnt been this good in the lifetime of most people on this site, but still we live and die by the ups and downs of this team. we live for the heartache….so sometimes we look extra hard for it =)
i dont think anyone is throwing in the towel on the cubbies. at least, i hope not.
for a cubs fan to change instantly. do you know how many people are still expecting the bottom to fall out because thats what they’re used to?? we just dont know how to handle success!
“Take me out to the ball game,
Take me out with the crowd.
Buy me some peanuts and cracker jack,
I don’t care if I never get back,
Cause it’s root, root, root for the CUBBIES,
If they don’t win it’s a shame.
For it’s one, two, three strikes, you’re out,
At the old ball game.”

effective. The checkmark is in the W column. I was at this game, drove over from Columbus, oHIo…. My losing streak at PNC and the Great American (ahem!) Ballpark is finally over. I think it’s 6 straight games at either park that the Cubs had lost going into tonight’s game.
Things didn’t look too promising from the moment I got into the ballpark. Zambrano didn’t look right warming up in the ‘pen. And it carried over into the game. His fastball had no life on it for the most part. He finally starting hitting above 90 on the gun in the 4th inning, but by then he had already thrown a lot of pitches. I’m glad the guys got him off the hook, but I’m sure he’s not happy with himself. He just didn’t look right, I hope he’s not hurt and not saying anything.
But, they kept clawing back, to which I give a lot of credit. I also think this Pirates team can be something really good with a little pitching. They really rake the ball, spraying singles and extra-base hits all over the field.
OK, it’s 3:30 in the morning and I drove 6 hours and sat through a 4 hour game without a cigarette. It’s time for bed.
First, though, I’d like to introduce myself to BCB. I’m the Original Dave and I have the proof: http://blog.theoriginaldave.com . I grew up in the north suburbs of Chicago, and now reside in Columbus, OH. I’m fairly new to BCB, and just wanted to say ‘ello. This is really a great forum for Cubs fans to hang out and chat. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed reading Al’s insights, and the comments are just awesome. There’s a lot of baseball knowledge on here, for which I’m thankful I found this place.
first!
mambochicken23 - August 26, 2008
Stop it
is what soriano needs to do when it comes to that hop
Cubbinstrongsince86 - August 26, 2008
he took his eye off the ball.
the hop is meaningless.
drewishdrewid - August 26, 2008
Then He Needs To Keep His Eye On The Ball
CaliCub - August 26, 2008
I don't disagree.
but it’s not the hop.

He has the mental approach of a 6 year old
CubsBall2202 - August 26, 2008
wow.
Judgemental much?
He’s struggling. It happens to everyone.
drewishdrewid - August 26, 2008
It's not the first time its happened with him
He has ace “stuff”, he does not have an aces head
CubsBall2202 - August 26, 2008
whatever.
drewishdrewid - August 26, 2008
well,
it’s true. he’s a kid at heart. you’ve seen him goof off in front of the cameras, haven’t you?

it's not the same thing.

Or regurgitate it?

its gonna cause heartburn at least
nolacubbiegirl - August 26, 2008
good eye ARAM
nbt - August 26, 2008
Let me just remind everyone how GOOD this team is...
we are FLAT tonight, we scored 12 last night (with 17 hits), yet we are only down by one after spotting this team a snowman (8).
IT AIN’T OVER!!
LAcarl519 - August 26, 2008
I Hear Ya, Captain Carl
But it’s the Vince Lombardi in me having zero tolerance for a mistake-filled, less-than-intense effort.
CaliCub - August 26, 2008
or Larry Bowa
daily2b - August 26, 2008
Why not Marshall???
kcjones - August 26, 2008
Need to keep him in case of Extras
TheRiot Police - August 26, 2008
Stick him in instead of Cotts for 2 or 3 innings....
and that might be a moot point.
kcjones - August 26, 2008
Reed in for JEd
wnielsen - August 26, 2008
You know, this has turned out to be quite a crazy game!
And I’m enjoying it quite a bit!
I don’t understand all the angst. This is great entertainment and in my opinion, a lot of fun!
The Cubs are in 1st place and at this moment, have the best record in baseball!
cowsarecool220 - August 26, 2008
It's fun to be orny sometimes!
nbt - August 26, 2008
I don't understand it either

Milwaukee Keeps Winning
If they weren’t as close as they are to the Cubs, then I’d be less worried.
CaliCub - August 26, 2008

every thing hurts, good or bad. the team hasnt been this good in the lifetime of most people on this site, but still we live and die by the ups and downs of this team. we live for the heartache….so sometimes we look extra hard for it =)

I'm Assuming Because The Bunt Was Bad?
CaliCub - August 26, 2008
It was a great Bunt
If he was trying to bunt Reed to Second….but he was trying to bunt Aramis to Third
TheRiot Police - August 26, 2008
Should have bunted to left side...
Bump Bailey - August 26, 2008
Yes - he bunted to first
Easy play for the 1B to throw to 3RD
Gotta make the 3B field the bunt

that is a move out of the Cedeno 2007 play book right?
…on a walk and Cedeno thought he was stealing second. remember that gem?

The Riot's been paying attention!

Not just luck,
Theriot was smart to keep the tag on just in case he overslid the bag.
cowsarecool220 - August 26, 2008
I think it was hugely lucky
Most umps don’t make that call. If he came off the plate it was by a centimeter.

lucky break

the grounder hits the lip of the grass, but Fonty adjusts, and gets the out.

that would be silly.
if they could sweep Milwaukee, they’d be in the Wild-Card slot, or very close to it.

The Cards losing helps the Cubs in the “other” magic number

tim815 - August 26, 2008
after the Cubs have scored 26 in two days
you know Marquis is worried about how much offense is left for him tomorrow.
But let’s worry about tomorrow, tomorrow.
Let’s focus on finishing this one tonight.

chitownhawkeye - August 26, 2008
Not to mention the 12-inning game with Milwaukee...
on Sunday… and the Cubs chasing Karstens early yesterday. The Pirates pen has to be a mess right now.

The Original Dave - August 27, 2008
what's going on?
I’m a typical cubs fan who doesn’t watch the games..
Chanman25 - August 26, 2008

nathew - August 26, 2008
Ugly, but...
effective. The checkmark is in the W column. I was at this game, drove over from Columbus, oHIo…. My losing streak at PNC and the Great American (ahem!) Ballpark is finally over. I think it’s 6 straight games at either park that the Cubs had lost going into tonight’s game.
Things didn’t look too promising from the moment I got into the ballpark. Zambrano didn’t look right warming up in the ‘pen. And it carried over into the game. His fastball had no life on it for the most part. He finally starting hitting above 90 on the gun in the 4th inning, but by then he had already thrown a lot of pitches. I’m glad the guys got him off the hook, but I’m sure he’s not happy with himself. He just didn’t look right, I hope he’s not hurt and not saying anything.
But, they kept clawing back, to which I give a lot of credit. I also think this Pirates team can be something really good with a little pitching. They really rake the ball, spraying singles and extra-base hits all over the field.
OK, it’s 3:30 in the morning and I drove 6 hours and sat through a 4 hour game without a cigarette. It’s time for bed.
First, though, I’d like to introduce myself to BCB. I’m the Original Dave and I have the proof: http://blog.theoriginaldave.com . I grew up in the north suburbs of Chicago, and now reside in Columbus, OH. I’m fairly new to BCB, and just wanted to say ‘ello. This is really a great forum for Cubs fans to hang out and chat. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed reading Al’s insights, and the comments are just awesome. There’s a lot of baseball knowledge on here, for which I’m thankful I found this place.
Thanks for reading, and Go Cubs Go!
