a low scoring game, maybe even a Demp shutout of the Phils? That would be beyond awesome, but difficult seeing as the Phils hit the crap out of the ball.
he gets the special picture with the crown. Anyone who strikes someone out gets the Cubbie blue K. It’s a very old BCB tradition that I just made up right now.

it's the right play
get the safe second out
PrincetonCubs - August 28, 2008
Still think that?
Why not get the lead runner..
Bump Bailey - August 28, 2008
yes
if aramis doesn’t make the tag or the throw is late, it’s 1st and 3rd with 1 out. definitely the right play, imho

does he do that from the stretch?

He doesn't do that
when he’s pitching out of the stretch.
Not Bruce Froemming - August 28, 2008
I sure didn't expect this.
Hopefully he settles down real soon.

he gets the special picture with the crown. Anyone who strikes someone out gets the Cubbie blue K. It’s a very old BCB tradition that I just made up right now.

I like old new traditions
chitownhawkeye - August 28, 2008

But attributing it to Firefox 3. I don’t think it gets along with the board software all that well. An F5 refresh clears things up momentarily, tho.
