blacked out here in central IL, but not tonight. I am lucky though because usually Dish will carry it on one of the sports alt channels, just have to go through all the sports alts to find it.
That was one of the worst innings I’ve seen him have. Every pitch was up and down the fat part of the plate. If he keeps pitching like that we will need some runs, hopefully he can start locating better.
but is there a reason that Daryle Ward is still playing on this team right now? I know that he is a veteran pinch hitting specialist, but I don’t think that he has much left anymore (no…I am not an expert). Also, why in the world would he bat third indeed? I think that Lou doesn’t want to mess up the mojo others have at the spot in the order, but to drop Ward at three is a tremendous disadvantage in the biggest (arguably) spot in the order.
How many times must this team comeback and win games...
win series, and generally kick ass before people stop sniveling like 2nd grade girls that didn’t get invited to the slumber party when we don’t have a lead IN THE 3rd FARKING INNING!!!???
Severe Weather is heading towards the Western Chicago Suburbs currently and should impact the Downtown Chicago region around 8 to 845ish.
This is a “bow echo” which basically means that the winds coming out of this storm are very strong and could produce striaght line wind damage it your under them
im sure gonna remember it all when we put those rings on our fingers…from what we were to what we are, to what we will become. i will be absolutely proud of our team for overcoming all the BS that the media throws out there, and what other fans put over our heads
I don’t have to listen to ESPN, whenever the Cubs are at home you can use your XM radio to sync use the broacast and listen to Pat and Ron, way better.
Cubs Bay-bee!!!

well, it did cost . . .
Shanghai Badger - August 4, 2008
Ouch
JohnM - August 4, 2008
Wow . .. that throw was Jacque-esque
Shanghai Badger - August 4, 2008
Jacque
It would have 50 hopped into the stands then.

Once in a while, he'd launch one like that

That is odd.

I will be sending a complaint ESPN’s way.

Bildo1805 - August 4, 2008
Nope. Not a chance
Shanghai Badger - August 4, 2008
Hopefully not
but with the way Moehler pitches the Cubs, it could be!
Canadian Cubs Fan - August 4, 2008
They need to hit him
the way the rest of the league does.
Canadian Cubs Fan - August 4, 2008
Dempster is REALLY not locating
That was one of the worst innings I’ve seen him have. Every pitch was up and down the fat part of the plate. If he keeps pitching like that we will need some runs, hopefully he can start locating better.
BeltwayCubsFan - August 4, 2008
He usually settles down
after a few innings.
sue369 - August 4, 2008
So here's a question regarding Berkman/Switch-hitting...
Berkman is strongest from the left side.
Cotts, a lefty, is better vs. righties than lefties.
So, Cotts would be a good guy to face Berkman, no?
Bildo1805 - August 4, 2008
There are some nasty looking storms
headed towards Chicago. Will be a couple hours before they get there, hopefully.

Bildo1805 - August 4, 2008
interesting
that Ward is batting 3rd, considering his mediocre season and lack of recent ABs
thinskull - August 4, 2008
agreed,
VegasCubFan - August 4, 2008
Just thought that too, especially since Jim Edmonds has the best historical #s vs. Moehler.
But, I’m thinking he wanted Edmonds to protect Ramirez, the best hitter we have in the lineup tonight.
Bildo1805 - August 4, 2008
that would make sense
I missed the lineup, and am too lazy to look it up right now
thinskull - August 4, 2008
Then he is due for
a big hit tonight.
sue369 - August 4, 2008
A strikeout on high fastball?
Itchy - August 4, 2008

Bildo1805 - August 4, 2008

sue369 - August 4, 2008

Itchy - August 4, 2008
maybe
it will boost his confidence and get him going
cubsluver22 - August 4, 2008
I am not focussed on all of the numbers....
but is there a reason that Daryle Ward is still playing on this team right now? I know that he is a veteran pinch hitting specialist, but I don’t think that he has much left anymore (no…I am not an expert). Also, why in the world would he bat third indeed? I think that Lou doesn’t want to mess up the mojo others have at the spot in the order, but to drop Ward at three is a tremendous disadvantage in the biggest (arguably) spot in the order.
tapdeer - August 4, 2008
Lee needs a day off and Ward need some PAs
Why not choose to do it in a game versus a pitcher that Ward has hit very well? Putting him third? Lou does stuff like that sometimes.
JohnM - August 4, 2008
Lee needs the blow, but if Ward does nothing tonight, then when/if should Lou use him again?
tapdeer - August 4, 2008
Someone call the Ford clinic!
Bildo1805 - August 4, 2008

Ramirez
It’s only a matter of time. He’s been hitting that ball hard, just not falling for him. Go Ramirez!

mondello58 - August 4, 2008
It fell in the bleachers for him yesterday
JohnM - August 4, 2008
Ya him and lee have been having an awful lot of those weak popouts to right and the infield this year
They both could use some heating up in terms of power
CubsBall2202 - August 4, 2008
Actually, Lee has been hitting more
weak grounders to the left side
Shanghai Badger - August 4, 2008
Ya that too
CubsBall2202 - August 4, 2008
Lee needs to watch some video of him striking out on low outside pitches. Talk about aggravating to watch.
VegasCubFan - August 4, 2008
I don't know why he doesn't look to right more
He can drive the ball that way, too.
Shanghai Badger - August 4, 2008
I love that little hop on his back foot with his front foot pointing up when he does that!
santoswoodenlegs - August 4, 2008

Hah? Did we swing at every single pitch that inning?

Moehler is a joke
can’t believe they struggle with this guy.
I’m sure Lee needed a day off, but isn’t he one of the few guys that hits Moehler? I could be wrong on that one.
Canadian Cubs Fan - August 4, 2008
as I posted earlier
Journeyman Moehler shuts us down. HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE? He is not that good!
VegasCubFan - August 4, 2008
I'm as frustrated too but i will give it about 3 more innings before i get worried

Give it till the 6th
then our bats will be unleashed!
Goodie1969 - August 4, 2008

That way, they’ll have seen his stuff and get a better read.

cubswynn - August 4, 2008
And the usual suspects chime in
with their proclamations of doom, and we’re only in the second inning.
Are you watching the game? I guess it’s better to just stand there and watch the ball go over the heart of the plate.
Whatever. If you work yourselves into enough of a lather, maybe you’ll pass out from exhaustion before the Cubs win.

mondello58 - August 4, 2008
How many times must this team comeback and win games...
win series, and generally kick ass before people stop sniveling like 2nd grade girls that didn’t get invited to the slumber party when we don’t have a lead IN THE 3rd FARKING INNING!!!???
santoswoodenlegs - August 4, 2008
ummm
every time? :-P
chitownhawkeye - August 4, 2008
It's Moehler

There's Ronnie w/ a single
I guess his circadian rhythm is doing just fine.
jbau - August 4, 2008
at least cedeno...
...is making him work.
bunt it, demp
tim815 - August 4, 2008
Hey Stoney
He really battled that one! Cedeno spelled backwards is Onedec.
VegasCubFan - August 4, 2008
Onedec
with the hit
mondello58 - August 4, 2008
How's that
for a fighting at bat!
chitownhawkeye - August 4, 2008
Execution is a beeee-autiful thing.
Good one Demp.

Nice bunt Demp.
Come on Sori and LBR. Do work, son.
Bildo1805 - August 4, 2008

my vote is aramis
cubswynn - August 4, 2008
LBR
Bildo1805 - August 4, 2008
soriano...
sez me
santoswoodenlegs - August 4, 2008
Onedec
Bump Bailey - August 4, 2008
I'm gonna say
Sori and LBRand hopefully Geo
sue369 - August 4, 2008
whoa whoa whoa sue
that’s cheating….step it up and choose ONE
cubswynn - August 4, 2008
well, she did say "and", not "or"
Shanghai Badger - August 4, 2008
so all three have to come up big or NO credit is given
haha
cubswynn - August 4, 2008
fine..hmph....Sori ;-)
sue369 - August 4, 2008
Knowing the Cubs
probably D. Ward or Theriot off the bench…
Goodie1969 - August 4, 2008
now there's an answer
finally someone with some…..guts
cubswynn - August 4, 2008
I like to play the long shots.
The payout is so sweet…
Goodie1969 - August 4, 2008
Soriano
no doubt
Galvan316 - August 4, 2008
I've got a fever
I need more Favre updates
VegasCubFan - August 4, 2008
I heard he just pooted gold
LT - August 4, 2008
I heard Brett Farve has been retired for 100 years.

mondello58 - August 4, 2008
Hey.
I put my pants on one leg at a time like the rest of you. But once they’re on, I make gold records.
Bildo1805 - August 4, 2008
The Bruce Dickenson!
mondello58 - August 4, 2008
I put my pants on...
the hard way.
santoswoodenlegs - August 4, 2008
Too much time...
on you hands, buddy
mondello58 - August 4, 2008
That's STYX....don't change the subject.

Health Tip: If you have a fever, the only prescription is more cowbell
VegasCubFan - August 4, 2008
lol
sue369 - August 4, 2008
and once they’re on, gold records are made
VegasCubFan - August 4, 2008
Breaking News!
Favre signs with NFL Europe as payback for having to hear about Beckham so much last year.
santoswoodenlegs - August 4, 2008
Don't know why
anyone throws Soriano strikes. You don’t have to!
Canadian Cubs Fan - August 4, 2008
yeah he sucks
LT - August 4, 2008
Not saying that
just that he’s predictable.
Canadian Cubs Fan - August 4, 2008
crap
sue369 - August 4, 2008
Let's go
LBR. Bring ‘em in!!!!!!
mondello58 - August 4, 2008
Soooo
3 innings and Cedano has seen 1/4 of the pitches Moehler has thrown.
That’s not right
chitownhawkeye - August 4, 2008
yikes
next thing you’re gonna tell me it’s been a couple weeks since the last hawkeye run in with the law
cubswynn - August 4, 2008
that's just crazy talk!
chitownhawkeye - August 4, 2008
ugh if there was every a year to get back to the winning ways...
our schedule says this is it…...no osu, michigan, easy road games and tough teams at home
cubswynn - August 4, 2008
Yep
Just hope there is some offense
chitownhawkeye - August 4, 2008
i like jake
hope having a healthy receiving core (and a great new coach) will pay off big
cubswynn - August 4, 2008
I think they will be
better. The senior members of the team will be keeping an eye on the younger guys.
sue369 - August 4, 2008
Any Cyclone fans here?
Bump Bailey - August 4, 2008
cyclone fans? i'm confused
cubswynn - August 4, 2008
You know...
It’s where they go in Iowa to get an actual education?...:)
Bump Bailey - August 4, 2008
pfffffft
sue369 - August 4, 2008
Haha..
I keed..
Bump Bailey - August 4, 2008
:D
sue369 - August 4, 2008
learn how to milk cows maybe
cubswynn - August 4, 2008
no shame
in losing to a STUD like brian moehler for the second time this season
horace tarbox - August 4, 2008
Yawn.
santoswoodenlegs - August 4, 2008
It only took 55 minutes for this
Monkey-Milker to show up
Galvan316 - August 4, 2008
And we all know
what tarbox means!
mondello58 - August 4, 2008
Okay
who had 6:55 in the troll pool? Anyone?
Goodie1969 - August 4, 2008
ME, ME...I did!!!
what do I win??
sue369 - August 4, 2008
No one wins.
Bildo1805 - August 4, 2008
Beat me to it...
Goodie1969 - August 4, 2008
eh, true
sue369 - August 4, 2008

mondello58 - August 4, 2008

sue369 - August 4, 2008
That's the usual reaction
mondello58 - August 4, 2008
A date with Horace!!!!!!!!!
BlueSox - August 4, 2008
2nd place is 2 dates with whore-ass
LT - August 4, 2008

sue369 - August 4, 2008
I'll be good. :}

sue369 - August 4, 2008
there's whore-ass
LT - August 4, 2008
In Cincy
0-0 mid 3
Shanghai Badger - August 4, 2008

Understandable
Shanghai Badger - August 4, 2008

No HBCG here so far tonight :(

Brett Taylor - August 4, 2008
Sorry I'm late, guys...
I was in meetings all afternoon. Will you forgive me for being late?
DeRoMyHero - August 4, 2008
yep......... welcome
LT - August 4, 2008
You are forgiven my son
mondello58 - August 4, 2008
I think that would be daughter
sue369 - August 4, 2008
Oops
mondello58 - August 4, 2008
sometimes you can tell who the regulars are
but we like the newbies too
LT - August 4, 2008
Ddi not know...
though never asked before
mondello58 - August 4, 2008
Did
mondello58 - August 4, 2008
no problem...
hard to tell from just the user name
LT - August 4, 2008
Oh, I'm a newbie?!???
When do I get my first stripe?
DeRoMyHero - August 4, 2008
oopsy...
daughter
preachermancubsfan - August 4, 2008
Thanks, Sue
I tend not to worry about electronic sex-changes, though. The real ones are an entirely different story!
DeRoMyHero - August 4, 2008
Don't change for you, don't change a thing
for me!!!!!!
mondello58 - August 4, 2008
You must first chop down the larget tree in the forest...
with a herring!
santoswoodenlegs - August 4, 2008
SWL,
I think you missed yesterday’s thread. I’m waiting for a picture of DeRo wearing a Superman’s cape, and holding a baseball, a football, and a bat.
You’re the Photoshop expert!
DeRoMyHero - August 4, 2008
What fabric should the superman cape be?
Baseball—NL or AL? How high should the seams be? Scuffed or not?
j/k ;)
jbau - August 4, 2008
Am not.
santoswoodenlegs - August 4, 2008
go....and sin no more!!!
preachermancubsfan - August 4, 2008
Preacher,
Did you make a prediction?
DeRoMyHero - August 4, 2008
nah...
preachermancubsfan - August 4, 2008
It'll be so sweet
when Dempster gets outta this. Let’s watch…
Goodie1969 - August 4, 2008
Big K
there!
mondello58 - August 4, 2008
here comes the big mo
cubswynn - August 4, 2008
Big out!
Itchy - August 4, 2008
GET HIM OUT!!!!
preachermancubsfan - August 4, 2008
i liked to see the crowd get into it here
cubswynn - August 4, 2008
3-0!! Don't walk him
Itchy - August 4, 2008
3-0... Demp throw some strikes....
MinnesotaFan - August 4, 2008
My god its quintero, were just gonna hand them a run
CubsBall2202 - August 4, 2008
Relax, please
The pitcher is due up next.
Not Bruce Froemming - August 4, 2008
Ya and that was the backup catcher at bat, i doubt he can hit either
CubsBall2202 - August 4, 2008
yup
the one ML player who can’t hit.
Bildo1805 - August 4, 2008
Just shut off the TV
if you can’t handle it. 2-0 certainly isn’t insurmountable.
Not Bruce Froemming - August 4, 2008
Certainly you can not stand any comments that are being realistic
Nowhere in those comments did i say the game was over or were gonna lose, simply making an observation, save your energy for elsewhere
CubsBall2202 - August 4, 2008
It's accurate in that he walked in a run
Aside from that, no realism evident.
Not Bruce Froemming - August 4, 2008
Yep
Just dumb
Itchy - August 4, 2008
Embarrassing.
Canadian Cubs Fan - August 4, 2008
Walked him in!!!!!!
mondello58 - August 4, 2008
That's not great
but it beats the heck out of a base hit…
Goodie1969 - August 4, 2008
Wait, I just saw ESPN's bottom line...
Farve got reinstated?
Bildo1805 - August 4, 2008
And in other news...
gas prices are at an all-time high
mondello58 - August 4, 2008
That's because
it’s 70’s night! :-)
Goodie1969 - August 4, 2008
+1
mondello58 - August 4, 2008
who cares..... lol....oh yea thats right, just ESPN
archimedes - August 4, 2008
Apparently so. I guess there has been some question about his status with the Pack. I don’t know all the facts, it has not been covered too much.
VegasCubFan - August 4, 2008
stand up crowd
we need this!
cubswynn - August 4, 2008
Ok damage done, get some runs now
CubsBall2202 - August 4, 2008
Out of it!!!!
mondello58 - August 4, 2008
im sure that
you will not be around when we are winning in a couple innings
preachermancubsfan - August 4, 2008
whew. glad we got out of that with just one run
MinnesotaFan - August 4, 2008
Amen
Itchy - August 4, 2008
Time for softball . . . I hope.
Go Cubs—two runs will NOT win this game!
Shanghai Badger - August 4, 2008
have fun
sue369 - August 4, 2008
Good luck
my Badger brotha!
mondello58 - August 4, 2008
----channeling tarbox-----
You all must really be happy with Dempter sucking and the Astros winning and stuff.
Ha Ha! LOLXOR!
santoswoodenlegs - August 4, 2008
i think we should give him the egg yolk treatment
except use the word “SWEEP” to remind him of his team getting crushed last week at Wrigley North…
LT - August 4, 2008
Oh, is he a Brewers fan?
Bildo1805 - August 4, 2008
yes
sue369 - August 4, 2008
I like this.
Bildo1805 - August 4, 2008
me too
sue369 - August 4, 2008
I can't recall
did Ryan walk in a run in his last start?
MOCubsfan - August 4, 2008
pence is such a dork
cubswynn - August 4, 2008
Hall of Famer Moehler
Hey, that rhymes!
VegasCubFan - August 4, 2008
sortof
VegasCubFan - August 4, 2008
come on Ward.....
MinnesotaFan - August 4, 2008
He swinging at EVERY pitch!!
Itchy - August 4, 2008
Moehler is in the top 10 in the NL
in first-pitch strikes.
Maybe that’s why they’re swinging? Think about it.
Not Bruce Froemming - August 4, 2008
thats what the espn commentators said....makes sense
cubswynn - August 4, 2008
that could be chicken and egg
considering that we’re swinging at everything no matter where it is
chitownhawkeye - August 4, 2008
It's not working.
Canadian Cubs Fan - August 4, 2008
So, better to strike out
looking than swinging. Got it.
Not Bruce Froemming - August 4, 2008
Swinging at the first pitch isn't working...
follow along…
Canadian Cubs Fan - August 4, 2008
So, watching the first pitch go by
in the strike zone is a much better option.
OK. Right.
Not Bruce Froemming - August 4, 2008
ugh....time to try hoffpaiur?
cubswynn - August 4, 2008
Aramis K
what a fuckin’ joke they are against this loser.
Canadian Cubs Fan - August 4, 2008
uh oh, swearing police are gonna come
cubswynn - August 4, 2008
what the fuck are you talking about, that pitch wasnt even close
xene - August 4, 2008
Where is the rain, please wash out this mess
VegasCubFan - August 4, 2008
Gotta do it quickly...
Bildo1805 - August 4, 2008
I guess they decided to add an extra inch to the plate before todays game
CubsBall2202 - August 4, 2008
That strike call
was absolutely unreal! Five inches off the plate…thanks for the help, ump.
Goodie1969 - August 4, 2008
Abandon ship, rational, thinking fans
The Negative Nabobs are taking over again.
Not Bruce Froemming - August 4, 2008
amen.....believe or leave
cubswynn - August 4, 2008
+1
sue369 - August 4, 2008
i just get so irritated
when people freak out by one strike out, thinking that is the end of the game, in like the 4th inning….stupid
preachermancubsfan - August 4, 2008
yes it is stupid
we all see it on tv we don’t need to see it again in here
sue369 - August 4, 2008
Mmm. Kabobs. Hungry...
jbau - August 4, 2008
sorry, 4th... not even 5th.. we've got time to catch up and beat em....
MinnesotaFan - August 4, 2008
Pence = I ain't got it
VegasCubFan - August 4, 2008
Error or Double?
BlueSox - August 4, 2008
Scored a double?
Crazy, it was in his glove.
Itchy - August 4, 2008
He dove...usually when you dive...
Bildo1805 - August 4, 2008
I hope a 2B...
Fantasy add this week…
Bildo1805 - August 4, 2008
it's only the 5th.... only 2 down... and edmonds just got a double... we're good.
MinnesotaFan - August 4, 2008
4th
CubsBall2202 - August 4, 2008
4th. actually
jbau - August 4, 2008
Bah-ha-ha!
Nice defense! Sorry to poke fun, but…hahahahaha!
Goodie1969 - August 4, 2008
Steve Phillips:
“Hunter Pence is a ‘trier’”
Bildo1805 - August 4, 2008
Me: Steve Phillips is an idiot
CubsBall2202 - August 4, 2008
I don't mind him when he's done show prep and is scripted.
Off the cuff, during a game? No thanks.
Bildo1805 - August 4, 2008
Some of act like we've never come back from an 2 run deficit.
santoswoodenlegs - August 4, 2008
or 8 run...
for that matter
preachermancubsfan - August 4, 2008
Latest Weather Update:
Severe Weather is heading towards the Western Chicago Suburbs currently and should impact the Downtown Chicago region around 8 to 845ish.
This is a “bow echo” which basically means that the winds coming out of this storm are very strong and could produce striaght line wind damage it your under them
Galvan316 - August 4, 2008
It's still early
archimedes - August 4, 2008
but we may not have time for a full 9 tonight.
Time to get it in geat gents
chitownhawkeye - August 4, 2008
True...
we may lose. And we’ll still be the best in the NL.
BlueSox - August 4, 2008
Strike 2:
Not a strike.
Bildo1805 - August 4, 2008
Just give those to Demp as well, ump
BlueSox - August 4, 2008
way off
archimedes - August 4, 2008
That was a ball!!
Itchy - August 4, 2008
Surprised pink hat guy isn't lighting into this clown
CubsBall2202 - August 4, 2008
This big strike zone is a boon to Moehler.
He stays on the corners well, has a sweeping slider. Pitches very horizontally.
Dempster’s much more vertical…
Bildo1805 - August 4, 2008
Who is the plate umpire tonight?
santoswoodenlegs - August 4, 2008
I'll break your arm if you say 1st base.
santoswoodenlegs - August 4, 2008
1st base
jbau - August 4, 2008
Hiiiiiiiii--Ya!
santoswoodenlegs - August 4, 2008
diaz
archimedes - August 4, 2008
Laz Diaz was in the Marines
in ‘03 he was the first base ump when the Ligues rushed the field at Comiskey. He handled them easily. So at least he gets some cool points for that…
Goodie1969 - August 4, 2008
Diaz I think they said.
Bildo1805 - August 4, 2008
someone in need of an eye exam...
MinnesotaFan - August 4, 2008
love this commercial, well done state farm
cubswynn - August 4, 2008
i DO love
that espn commercial with ronny and pat though….
preachermancubsfan - August 4, 2008
oops, state farm
preachermancubsfan - August 4, 2008
state farm
cubswynn - August 4, 2008
WTF IS THIS COMMERCIAL
Bildo1805 - August 4, 2008
File this under things I thought I'd never say:
BRING BACK DANE COOK
Bildo1805 - August 4, 2008
awesome is what it is!!!
preachermancubsfan - August 4, 2008
No, the MLBlogs.com commercial after it.
Bildo1805 - August 4, 2008
oh...didnt se it
preachermancubsfan - August 4, 2008
i liked it, a lot.....
no curses, no jinx
cubswynn - August 4, 2008
How could you like it?
Please, replay every killer piece of video from the past 50 years or so. Please, show me more Bartman. I want to see the black cat again.
Bildo1805 - August 4, 2008
it was putting the stuff down...
did you listen to it?
preachermancubsfan - August 4, 2008
I did listen.
I still don’t want to remember.
Bildo1805 - August 4, 2008
it was saying, eff the past, the cubs CAN and WILL do it
stare down the black cats?!? great great great line
cubswynn - August 4, 2008
Again, heard what it said.
Has little to do with the 2008 Cubs.
Bildo1805 - August 4, 2008
haha okay i don't know how two people can see something so differently
i’m trying to find it online now to see what you were talking about
cubswynn - August 4, 2008
i got dvr and recorded it...its an awesome commercial
preachermancubsfan - August 4, 2008
i got dvr and recorded it...its an awesome commercial
preachermancubsfan - August 4, 2008
that was the point....
the PAST is PAST, the future is BRIGHT and AHEAD of us…
preachermancubsfan - August 4, 2008
well...
im sure gonna remember it all when we put those rings on our fingers…from what we were to what we are, to what we will become. i will be absolutely proud of our team for overcoming all the BS that the media throws out there, and what other fans put over our heads
preachermancubsfan - August 4, 2008
preach!
cubswynn - August 4, 2008
I'm just sick of hearing about all the curses.

Bump Bailey - August 4, 2008
me too....but you totally missed the point of that commercial
preachermancubsfan - August 4, 2008
No, I got the point.
I still don’t like it.
Bildo1805 - August 4, 2008
bc that's the way we think
did you listen to what the commercial said?
cubswynn - August 4, 2008
i meant the way we NEED to think
cubswynn - August 4, 2008
WGN + ESPN
I don’t have to listen to ESPN, whenever the Cubs are at home you can use your XM radio to sync use the broacast and listen to Pat and Ron, way better.
archimedes - August 4, 2008
Can't wait
for the XM / Sirius merger to finallize
chitownhawkeye - August 4, 2008
you can sync XM?
didn’t know that….I was going to get one of those SportsSync radios.
Bump Bailey - August 4, 2008
Happy B-Day Howry....
Let the boos commence…
Bump Bailey - August 4, 2008
Hopefully he celebrates the birthday by getting the day off
CubsBall2202 - August 4, 2008
enough about Manny.... i'm tired of Manny

Tired of his hair...
I don’t care how good a hitter he is, he looks like an idiot.

Too bad
about that bases loaded BB.
Canadian Cubs Fan - August 4, 2008
Wait, there was a bases loaded BB?
Bildo1805 - August 4, 2008
Yes..
and we had to petition the commissioner to let us continue playing the game…since any base loaded BB results in an automatic forfeit.

LOL
Little known rules of the game.

Good thing Bud still decides these things by coin flip.
And I make my own luck…
