i hereby say that i will no longer argue with sackings108 about theriot. we both believe we are right…we both have opinions. neither my opinion nor his is a fact.
sackings108, im sorry i piss you off, and im sorry you piss me off…
not gonna argue about theriot anymore…though i am not admitting wrongness, lol
is good. not good to be the starter next year…we need better defense. i think that theriot should be nothing more than a bench player. he isnt the greatest, but he doesa get on base alot before our big guns. so i think we should let him finish the year. ( i just dont think cedeno is a better option) (Opinion)
bring in a better SS to let him lose a competition to next year
but I can just flip past if you want to use it in the future. I didnt mean to hurt your feelings, I have said it in the past to others that have ones that mess a bit w/ me
Cubs have 11 home games left, and currently stand at 51-19 at home. That’s a .729 winning percentage people.
In other words, if we go 9-2 down the stretch at home (only one game above the 8 wins our current home winning percentage would predict), we would win 60 games.
At home.
We currently have two more wins at home than the Nationals have wins – period. One more win at home than the Mariners have – period. As many wins at home as the Padres have wins – period.
DWard hit into a fielders choice that scored the first run..
the second run scored on a walk. Phillies pitchers walked the bases loaded and then walked in the tying run. Scott Eyre walked the last two of the sequence to give us the lead
going to the VT game tomorrow. Game starts at noon, so I should be able to get to a bar for the Cubs game at 3:55 (provided the FOX wizards decide to show it for me).
In addition to instituting replay review, MLB announces that it is suspending playoffis and that the two teams with the best records in their respective leagues will be going directly to the World Series.

That's a pretty good marketing idea, actually.
Get Carlos to be the spokesperson.

for every Marmol strikeout that day,
you can buy a slider for $.49. Just a thought, for the White Castle execs on the board

I won’t argue it, I just want to know. Do you think he’s very good, good, decent, etc.
sackings108 - August 29, 2008
ok, he...
is good. not good to be the starter next year…we need better defense. i think that theriot should be nothing more than a bench player. he isnt the greatest, but he doesa get on base alot before our big guns. so i think we should let him finish the year. ( i just dont think cedeno is a better option) (Opinion)

A reconciliation from a man of the cloth.

Quoth Ron Santo:
“What is this a football game?”
daver - August 29, 2008
I'd prefer we add a touchdown to our runs...
…..but I’m not picky.
Chadnudj - August 29, 2008
Pat answer was genuis tho
Ron you seem a lil upset about this
Madison Cub Fan - August 29, 2008
what is ron so upset about?
geez…bad plays have happened, but geez
preachermancubsfan - August 29, 2008
GEEZ!!!
daver - August 29, 2008
He was talking about the continuous huddling on the mound
by the Cheesesteakheads…
BigJohnAZ - August 29, 2008
how do you think
the brewers feel just watching us win and win and win
cubbiepride - August 29, 2008

as long as the lose
let them think about that!
VegasCubFan - August 29, 2008
I don't know how they feel,
but I can tell you that I’m pretty okay with it.
Blue W - August 29, 2008
DeRo bunts runners to 2nd and 3rd. Cedeno up. Phils again have a conference.
zevkalman - August 29, 2008
DeRosa was only out by a little less than Howard in the top of this inning!
santoswoodenlegs - August 29, 2008
You guys are so far ahead of MLB tv
It’s very tension relieving. I’m watching DeRosa just come up to the plate and there’s posts about the bunt.
mlern - August 29, 2008
It's part of why I come here
My ctrl-R is almost worn out
spoiledcubbage - August 29, 2008
Y'know, that at-bat tells me something
DeRo has been one of the hottest guys the last week and here he is, sacrificing himself for the team.
That’s the kind of stuff that shows character and builds winners.
Gibbon Jockey - August 29, 2008
and the bunt was textbook
tim815 - August 29, 2008
Great Job, DeRo.
Now for Onedec.
Blue W - August 29, 2008
should dero have bunted?
He’s been hot lately and he bunted for cedano?
jds2 - August 29, 2008
It's the situation, not that Cedeno is more suited to drive the runs in...
Jimmyeatworld - August 29, 2008
you have to do
what you have to do to win no matter who it is
bizzle4 - August 29, 2008
I'm not a fan
of bunting before Cedeno and Blanco. Hopefully I’m proven wrong.

Well, Ronny worked a deep AB. I'll give him some credit for that.
daver - August 29, 2008

I still would of like to seed DeRo try to drive in the runs though
jds2 - August 29, 2008
it was far better overall at-bat
than his bunt two nights ago, i’ll give him that

Shocking, another slider in the dirt
the first one didn’t tell you anything, Ronny.

Bad day for Blanco

halfblindcubbiegirl - August 29, 2008
ALF!
preachermancubsfan - August 29, 2008
UGLY.
santoswoodenlegs - August 29, 2008
what did i do to you?
preachermancubsfan - August 29, 2008
haven't we told you that flashing .gifs are evil?
halfblindcubbiegirl - August 29, 2008
I am in total agreement w/ cubbiegirl.
but some flashes are worse than others for some of us.
Madison Cub Fan - August 29, 2008
its not flashing
preachermancubsfan - August 29, 2008
it just changes color
preachermancubsfan - August 29, 2008
It's a little...um...busy.
daver - August 29, 2008
I like it.
sue369 - August 29, 2008
thanks sue...
preachermancubsfan - August 29, 2008
certain types of flashes mess with me sometimes.
but I can just flip past if you want to use it in the future. I didnt mean to hurt your feelings, I have said it in the past to others that have ones that mess a bit w/ me
Madison Cub Fan - August 29, 2008
btw people....
if you are using firefox, you can block images from websites.
tootle - August 29, 2008
its cool, no biggie...
i just didnt realize it was that bad…i mean i see advertisments all the time that can be worse…
ill make sure they dont blink or change color or flash in the future
preachermancubsfan - August 29, 2008
I didn't mean to fuss either
Unless one has a problem where flashing can be a prob, one doesnt notice it.
Madison Cub Fan - August 29, 2008
its cool
i will make sure they dont flash anymore
preachermancubsfan - August 29, 2008
Head...spinning...blacking out...can no longer go on...describing symptoms...

All credit goes to hokie316...

daver - August 29, 2008
LOL
BrewCrew'sPrinceofDarkness - August 30, 2008
the shark got the W
bizzle4 - August 29, 2008
Yep, first of his career.
daver - August 29, 2008
awesome
any one else slightly frightened that Harden’s “not having his best stuff” outing is 2 runs? Thats obscene.
halfblindcubbiegirl - August 29, 2008
and only one if howard isn't the size of montana
tim815 - August 29, 2008
A BLAST AS USUAL, EVERYONE! Thanks! CUBS WIN!!!
malicedoom - August 29, 2008
7.5 games up in the standings would feel very nice.
Go Pittsburgh!
Lou In Blue - August 29, 2008
ARRRRRRGGGGG
JCD - August 29, 2008
Hoist the Jolly Roger!!!

Post-Victory Drinking Thread
I’m gonna crack open a Sam Adam’s Oktoberfest!
sanantonecub - August 29, 2008
Do they have those in the UK?
zevkalman - August 29, 2008
aaaah
to hear brickhouse say “watch it” when marmol has a hitter 1-2
tim815 - August 29, 2008
Ha ha...I remember that.
daver - August 29, 2008
Enjoy your Fridays ladies and gents
off to watch my second ballgame of the evening.
Bill Potter - August 29, 2008
Cubs Win on ALF's 8th inning blast!
ELcachorros - August 29, 2008
guess hitting
hack poser
CyberCyclist - August 29, 2008
Selfish stat-padding guess hack hitter
zevkalman - August 29, 2008
yeah
how dare he hit a go ahead homerun when no ones even on base? how selfish of him!
halfblindcubbiegirl - August 29, 2008
He just did it
for the glory. He doesn’t care about this team.
CyberCyclist - August 29, 2008
of love?
santoswoodenlegs - August 29, 2008
Ya know..
at this point all of Lou’s press conferences sound the same “Yeah. that was a good ball game. A good win”.
hehe
halfblindcubbiegirl - August 29, 2008
as long as they keep coming :)
CyberCyclist - August 29, 2008
wait for it.
santoswoodenlegs - August 29, 2008
oh i wasn't complaining
just pointing it out. :-)
halfblindcubbiegirl - August 29, 2008
I know
I like how he just recaps the game.
Marmol threw well, we got the home run from Soriano, and we won the ball game
CyberCyclist - August 29, 2008
i personally love the ones when
he forgets how we scored. those are fun.
halfblindcubbiegirl - August 29, 2008
"Look, ah, we won a ballgame today."
daver - August 29, 2008
"Look, he threw the ball well."
daver - August 29, 2008
"I don't believe in destiny..."
I believe in good hitting, good pitching, good catching…"
Emelie - August 29, 2008
i thought it said DENTISTRY, lol
preachermancubsfan - August 29, 2008
I liked that.
sue369 - August 29, 2008
lol so true
Emelie - August 29, 2008
someone could get him a thesaurus to
learn new words to describe good, lol
preachermancubsfan - August 29, 2008
How was that airmail throw from Rollins on Ward's grounder
not an error?
halfblindcubbiegirl - August 29, 2008
I think it's because
you cannot assume the dp
tootle - August 29, 2008
i guess
just… kinda crazy.
halfblindcubbiegirl - August 29, 2008
if Dward would have gotten to 2nd it would have been..
but you can never assume the double play..
mkcubs21 - August 29, 2008
Scarily impressive stat...
Cubs have 11 home games left, and currently stand at 51-19 at home. That’s a .729 winning percentage people.
In other words, if we go 9-2 down the stretch at home (only one game above the 8 wins our current home winning percentage would predict), we would win 60 games.
At home.
We currently have two more wins at home than the Nationals have wins – period. One more win at home than the Mariners have – period. As many wins at home as the Padres have wins – period.
Crazy, crazy season.
Chadnudj - August 29, 2008
now that a good stat
this team is awesome.
halfblindcubbiegirl - August 29, 2008
anyone else think 100 wins isn't out of the question anymore?
santoswoodenlegs - August 29, 2008
its definitely a possiblity
much more than i thought it would be a few weeks ago even.
halfblindcubbiegirl - August 29, 2008
i think we will get there
preachermancubsfan - August 29, 2008
my prediction a few weeks ago was
92, I definitely underestimated this team
tootle - August 29, 2008
If they can maintain this momentum...
…I think it’s within reach.
daver - August 29, 2008
going 15-12 the rest of the season won't require too much momentum.
santoswoodenlegs - August 29, 2008
Damn.
They could slow down and still hit that. Crazy.
daver - August 29, 2008
15-12
will get them there. that’s a .556 percentage, which is certainly doable.
CyberCyclist - August 29, 2008
how did the 1st 2 runs score?
daily2b - August 29, 2008
DWard hit into a fielders choice that scored the first run..
the second run scored on a walk. Phillies pitchers walked the bases loaded and then walked in the tying run. Scott Eyre walked the last two of the sequence to give us the lead
mkcubs21 - August 29, 2008
sorry give us the tie
mkcubs21 - August 29, 2008
85-50
whoa. that… is crazy.
halfblindcubbiegirl - August 29, 2008
This team definitely by now
has as much affection from me as the 98 and 03 teams combined. And I was born in 1983, so that’s a lot of affection.
Gator Cub - August 29, 2008
and STILL a run behind our expected W-L column
santoswoodenlegs - August 29, 2008
really?
halfblindcubbiegirl - August 29, 2008
What's everyone up to now?
It’s almost 11pm here and I’m throwing in my school of rock DVD while drinking sam adams oktoberfest
sanantonecub - August 29, 2008
I'm eating chocolate cake at my desk.
santoswoodenlegs - August 29, 2008
This Bud is for Scott Eyre who didn't have his heart in denying his friends a win.
To Scottie Eyre — THIS BUD’S FOR YOU!
zevkalman - August 29, 2008
Here's to you "MR. LOOGY who walks in the tying run" guy.
We salute you.
santoswoodenlegs - August 29, 2008
i wonder if that got him out of Lou's doghouse...
halfblindcubbiegirl - August 29, 2008
couldn't have hurt
mkcubs21 - August 29, 2008
just finished installing a radiator in my truck, kickin' it w/ a Pacifico!!!

Stan Cox - August 29, 2008
I'm a good 60 miles from Mildenhall...
sanantonecub - August 29, 2008

daily2b - August 29, 2008
sanantonecub - August 29, 2008
I bought a car there once
it was a thing of beauty. had to sell it when I lost my job(many years ago)
Stan Cox - August 29, 2008
But then again
I am British :)
Stan Cox - August 29, 2008
What we're you between the 2 times you were British?
santoswoodenlegs - August 29, 2008
That would be telling
I did say I had been drinking :)
Stan Cox - August 29, 2008
That's okay,
Noone is perfect ;)
sanantonecub - August 29, 2008

this reads like a BCB twitter feed
tweet tweet
Emelie - August 30, 2008
Just got to Charlotte...
going to the VT game tomorrow. Game starts at noon, so I should be able to get to a bar for the Cubs game at 3:55 (provided the FOX wizards decide to show it for me).
hokie316 - August 29, 2008
Cubs leading off Sportscenter!
yay
halfblindcubbiegirl - August 29, 2008
And I'm at work and have to miss it...rats
I think we see Halley’s Comet with more frequency than that.
spoiledcubbage - August 29, 2008
happens all the time
especially on the 5pm when we play day games.
halfblindcubbiegirl - August 29, 2008
it's 3 pm here, unfortunately
Damn you, gainful employment! (shaking fist)
spoiledcubbage - August 29, 2008
yeah. its on the one not everyoen gets to catch
but the idea that the cubs NEVER lead off sportscenter is wrong.
halfblindcubbiegirl - August 29, 2008
It's times like this, I wonder, what would Jimmy Buffet do?
sanantonecub - August 29, 2008
Must...sing...
…’It’s…Five…O’ clock…Somewhere’…can’t resist…urge…
spoiledcubbage - August 29, 2008
Funny you should ask that
I’d Say…
Pour me something tall and strong
Make it a hurricane before I go insane
It’s only half past 12 but I don’t care
It’s 5:00 somewhere!!!
sanantonecub - August 29, 2008
Back from the pub
Boy were they screaming about that Howard bang-bang play at 1st. Had a great time with my Phillies fans friends.
Cubs win. That’s all that counts!!!!
Go Pirates!!!

daily2b - August 29, 2008
My only wish
In addition to instituting replay review, MLB announces that it is suspending playoffis and that the two teams with the best records in their respective leagues will be going directly to the World Series.
sweetswinger - August 29, 2008
The '81 Reds would prolly agree with you on that
spoiledcubbage - August 29, 2008
dude!
just said that to a friend!!!
daily2b - August 29, 2008
This was my last official day of summer vacation...
despite the fact I had to work on one of my vehicles, couldn’t have asked for more!!!
daily2b - August 29, 2008
Paging captain obvious:
LOL. I love Philly.
halfblindcubbiegirl - August 29, 2008
Can someone help me?
I saw on here posted a few days ago the Cubs record since Lou’s outburst last year. Anyone remember or know what it is?
Blaze22 - August 29, 2008
use the search feature...
it exists just for this purpose.
santoswoodenlegs - August 29, 2008
wow...
you seem like a really nice person.
CubbieintheSouth - August 29, 2008
I hate all of you.
santoswoodenlegs - August 29, 2008
except for the fact that SBN seems to be dealing with database
corruption
tootle - August 29, 2008
well then,
it’s just like the government.
CubbieintheSouth - August 29, 2008
