Let's do this!!!
we got a challenge today!

Alright alright alright

Victory is mine!
Bronze Medal
I swear every comment above my 1st???

was below it until i refreshed the page. WTF mate? lol

i feel a cubs win comin on
Victory for the Cubs!
Cheesesteak
Come on Cubs lets finally beat this team
You nervous for the weekend night ESPN game?

Or excited?

I love first-week-get-jacked-up-for-college-football-season games!

Weather looks a little murky
Might be the crap

that went through here early this morning. Horrible lightening and thunder.

Lance-Berkman-running-for-his-life type stuff?
It sounded like it.
Who sang the anthem?

missed it..

Gary Matthews
For real?

thought he was doing TMOTTBG..

LOL....yeah, you're right
Ha..

Well, he fancies himself a singer…maybe he’s doing both.

len & bob's site says its mcmahon

doing the stretch…

Everytime I watch the Cubs

take the field on TV I wish I was there. Amazing scene.

MLB command post in NY

Big brother watching everything you do

First pitch strike

We are underway

Utley with a double down right...
woah, it looks nasty at wrigley
I don't know how it looks

But the only rain on the radar is up by Madison right now

I am feeling

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.

Theriot with another brain fart...
it's the right play

get the safe second out

Still think that?

Why not get the lead runner..

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

Brought to you by the one and only Dan: Who's all here?

Hey Dan...

Here..

the one and only

Brian in Saint Peters, MO. Go Cubs!

I'm bigger, and bolder, and rougher. In other words sucker there is no other. I'm the one and only Dominator

Oh, and I’m here.

the riot goes for the out at first

hmmmmmmmm

i think you walk howard here
Unintential Intentional walk to Howard

1st and 3rd, 2 down

damn to early to be giving up runs
Victarino with a hit, 1 in
on your toes geo victorino is quick
flyin', some would say
well, that's no good

Phils lead

common demp lets get out of this
Not the start I was hoping for

but it’s early, we’ll get’em back

And Demp doesn't implode or explode

like some pitchers

Cmon, Demp

settle down…

BB, grrrrr

bases jacked, 2 down

dempster isnt flipping his glove like he usually does
no, hes not
does he do that from the stretch?
He doesn't do that

when he’s pitching out of the stretch.

I sure didn't expect this.

Hopefully he settles down real soon.

Got em...

whewwwww

it's ok

we have 27 outs left

Got Him!!

only giving up one right there isn’t to bad.. could have been much worse.. NOW lets rock Hamels!!

I thought that was for Harden only...
nah

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
he will settle down demp is a very smart player
7 runs in the first inning of his 28 starts...

That is amazing.

pedro feliz means happy rock

doesn’t it? nice K

wtf

is up with the thread? Lots of duplicate posts…

i'm fine here

maybe a refresh?

I noticed it too

and I’ve had trouble posting sometimes.

+1

Was about to ask the same thing..

I'm getting that, too.

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.

Thanks Clutch...

Worked like a charm!

I'm getting it too in IE

Wierd

ah ha!

I wasn’t imagining things at the top of the thread!

dempo himself looked a little nervous, and Brenley didn't help
Can Dempster somehow hear Brenly on the mound?
anyone got a pitch count?

that felt like a lot for one inning..

20 or close to it.
thanks
congrats to sori
did he pose with her?

hope so

Soriano

is a daddy today! Let’s get a win for her!

Fonzie with a baby girl this morning...

…awwwwww

That is neat.
yes but i didn't catch it
the board is jumpy tonight
I'd characterize the board as "hoppy"
did he?

had to

didn't hear

Did they say a name for Fonzie’s little girl?

Guess Hack Selfish Hitter's Daughter :-)
The middle name is Alphonsia??
i hope she's a

‘hoppy’ child

Lee late on 2 straight 90 mph fastballs
DLee with the base hit
And Cole Hamels's perfect game is history P

let’s get some runs.

awww, chasie-poo got his jersey dirty
alright

we can wait this guy out.

Seeing double again...

F5 refresh worked for a bit….maybe I should just reboot…

close the browser
once the game threads

get up to 200-300 posts, it’s going to be intolerable to do that.

I’m going to close and come back. we’ll see.

yeah.

thats what i meant….

b/c i did and it cleared up fine.

I tried it

Let’s see if the good behavior lasts.

thx hbcg..

working ok now….that was….strange.

seems to be better.
yep for me too
no problem

it was weird.

Arrrrrrghhh..

now it’s starting again….:(

oh no

that sucks.

Exact same time it started for me

Server caching problem, perhaps?

Might be...

the site techies did some retooling the other night…maybe they missed something.

Switching to Opera

Let’s see if this does any better…

c'mon demps..

strikes!

i dont know why but i hate chase utley
well...

he’s not a Cub, is he?

This board is acting really strange....
the board is acting very strange
Nice catch Dome
Nice play from Dome
LOL

I’m already getting texts from my friends who are Phillies fans telling me the Cubs are frauds.

Just texting back that there are still 8 more innings to be played

already?

geez. overreact much?

It's Philadelphia sports fans

They overreact to everything!!

well yeah...

but i never realized how early they started!

ask them how the bullpen did in the 8th on wednesday
They know about the pen

I’ll text them back after the Cubs close them out in the top of the 9th

alright..

nice catch by Dome!

what's up Cub fans

let’s get it going boys!

nice 1-2-3
Demp seems to have settled down.
Let's get some runs!!!
+1
baserunners would be nice as well...
now

to business…

To business!

clink glasses

THIS BOARD SUCKS TONIGHT

Whatever updates were made to SBN didn’t work.

Try closing out of the browser completely

And restarting it – it’s been doing all right for me since I tried it

Just tried that

so far so good

Hello to everybody!
any relation to King Ralph?
Could be

Is he from the Northside?

yay for redemption for derosa.

well done.
93-92-92

Howard now sees everything in slow motion

+1 drew, amazing, thoughtful post
Can you not

see the three blue K’s either?

My posts are getting deleted

So I think I’m gonna swear and talk politics in my next post, cuz it won’t be there 5 minutes later.

Pat the Bat

GIDP

C'mon

Let’s get some runs!!!!!!!

hey just woke up..

hows it going?

bout time :D
let's get some

loose bowels!!!!!!!!!!!!

okay

the board is not liking me tonight… i think i’m gonna log off. this is driving me a little nuts.

quitter
I hate quitters thats why I still drink!

More beer please

odd how this wasn't happening

in the pre-game thread. what’s happened?

Now tried three different browsers, all with the same result

It’s the server.

WTF?

Double posts..straight blue lines…..very weird tonight.

three cubs pitchers suspended 50 games for boldenone

http://tinyurl.com/68xsjh

hope that works.

if not, it was carlos galvez, jose tineo, and arturo florentino

I've noticed several posts get deleted and edited

not sure what’s up

I haven't noticed that

but I see a lot of double posts.

espn trying to ruin midwest support
nice at bat for Mark

drove up the pitch count.

on my browser...

Drew has a post that just has his name on it……..wierd

+1

I have a few of those now..

might not be serving pictures properly
hmm, I don't have that
I wonder if any of the other blogs

are having technical fiddiculties?

difficulties.....lol
I would think so.

But then I’m not a very technical person either. :-(

All I know for sure

is that Hamels is rolling

A Cubbie Occurance?
Maybe another game

where they make us wait til the late innings to make their run.

No worries

We’ve beaten better teams

oh for sure,

stay positive and patient, we’re fine

y aknow hopw i know this is the year?

I get deployed in early sept. Doesnt it just figure.

cuz you like Coldplay?
Jayson Werth seems to think

That you have been living two lives.

another example of

terrible baseball player facial hair

Okay, my posts are getting deleted.

WTF is going on here, SBN/AL?

Someone get the Cubs PA announcer

To announce that Al is needed at a computer now

yes, something strange is happening.

I refresh when things get wonky, and posts I’ve read disappear

I don't think

Al can fix it. Has anyone emailed Bugreport@sbn.com?

somebody text KOW

she can get Al to fix it…

Emailing them now

And askng them to subtract 7500 comments of yours, so I have more.

how did we get the two outs

in this inning?

Victorino fly out
Feliz pop up

LOL

Just refreshed and drew’s K post vanished…sorry drew.
