LOL.
Let’s go Mark.

Fishbone2 - August 5, 2008 reply
For a 2-Run double!
malicedoom - August 5, 2008 reply
But it’s a double and scores two, boo-ya!
a great sign…
2-2 with a walk and 2 doubles.
he lined out to the track in left and then played half and inning at second last night.
though.
mondello58 - August 5, 2008 reply
than watching daryle ward swing at roughly 90% of the pitches he saw
Ward was programmed to swing at ALL pitches last night.
C’mon Dome, let’s keep this going!!!
I’m here!
Shanghai Badger - August 5, 2008 reply
how’s Racine today?
And “working” from home. How’s Baraboo?

Even the ones he doesn’t swing at.
To end the inning. 2-0, Good Guys.
And the ladies love it.
NittanyCub - August 5, 2008 reply
But also a fighter?
digitalbenjamin - August 5, 2008 reply
so sorry if I say something with bad timing
Let’s go Rich!!
very nice
...Nice change of pace from his first few starts
in the lineup? Must still be cowering from the lightning.
even as I was hiding from the lightning myself.
When he is healthy, he is electric
at least.
...when they had Hudson, Zito, Haren and Harden…. jeez….......
did they?
Haren came in ‘05…But Huddy, Zito and Harden were awesome
He had one great year, and two “okay” years.
He sucks ass.
But damn, he sucks ass now
is pretty good….
(since he’s been with the Giants)
...I never said he has been good with the Giants. Nor did I ever even mention the Giants…
I thought you were talking about the group if they were still together.
How the hell didn’t they win a WS?
Lots of talent, just could never get out of the AL (Kings never got out of the West…)
and they all agreed Harden had the best ‘stuff’ out of all of them
and then it’s right
Forgot about him…
Keep in mind that he isn’t even using his most dominating pitch (slider) nowadays; it’s all fastballs and variations of his changeup.
Obviously, he can’t use it because it’s too much strain on his arm, but it’s pretty crazy to think about.
and he says publicly that Rich is better than any of them. And the 3 of them agree.
There goes the No-No. Base hit for Blum.
Do find some very good scenery….
I’m thinking “wet t-shirt” night…
santoswoodenlegs - August 5, 2008 reply
for us ladies?
We get the fan shots. Seems fair to me…
...show a hot chick, then show a kid.
or some lame hat shot..
always had and eye for the ladies…
There’s only so much to do in Des Moines, anyway.
From the lightning last night
Wigginton is running up the pitch count.
Good thing he had a nice fast first inning
...Pat Hughes totally psyched me out on that one.
But I’m prob one of the few who doesn’t seem to mind.
Jayo525 - August 5, 2008 reply
You’ll summon the troll!
what, are you in 7th grade or something?
he’s a troll who has been showijng up lately
The user’s name is tarbox . . . wasn’t being derogatory—at least not in the sense that you thought.
Good throw by Hank. DeRo couldn’t make the catch.
the OS has some stones…
out stealing, e 4
No Stolen Base.
That crown on his dead does it for me. That’s hilarious, I’m rec’ing this.
he had a little green crown over there
oh….I guess he’s a pretty good pitcher too
I love it
Damn it, DeRo.
Error comes back to hurt.
DeRo has got to make that play
with the Angels.
we must of all been high…
Always for a Three Amigos reference.
Global Warming
i think he’s attempt # 3 or 4 at the ‘stros finding an everyday catcher… no one that they put behind the plate has been able to hit for quit for them.
3 out. 2-1, guys in blue.
And the lead is intact… lets extend it now!
Bowling tourney!
1060addision - August 5, 2008 reply
3
oh wait, you did!
had gotten caught in a sand trap
He did get 2 runs on his hit, giving up just the one run on defense
Gurbal - August 5, 2008 reply
let’s wallop wandy
Soto will need some days off.
for Harden! SAFE!
so I will just go by the play-by-play on here and post a K as soon as you guys say it.
Thanks for the play-by-play!
Everybody’s safe. 1st and 3rd, nobody out.
What an athlete..
haha only took the 5th start to get one down!
He and Theriot suck.
COME ON!
:)
We don’t appreciate negative comments about The Riot
TheRiot02 - August 5, 2008 reply
Harden Monterroso; yeah, that sounds good.
very cool!
I don’t know about that one.
Angelina Joile.
then it would work
I would approve it.
Compelling and RICH
“home run wouldn’t be bad”
lol
Single Sori! 3-1 cubs!
3-1 Cubs!
RBI’s!!!
no, seriously.
It’s 3-1.
alabebo - August 5, 2008 reply
in here!
Mapmaker - August 5, 2008 reply
lamp.
seeing here is that Theriot bunts worse than an AL pitcher.
performance enhancing substances…and guys who helped the cubs into the 1998 playoffs…
Theriot pops out to Pitcher on a bunt attempt. Gosh!
Dunno if he’s ever stood on that bag before
GEE WHIZ!!!!!!!!
reading lips is fun during baseball season
Lou: “Theriot I appreciate your attempt at a bunt, and hopefully it turns out better next time.”
Theriot: “I accept your warm consideration, and I hope I’m able to reciprocate your good-hearted feelings into a better at-bat next time.”
Per Ron…
bases loaded…
for AMRAM…
Bases crammed for Rammy.
2 for 2.
Love it when I’m wrong
you never know with him
WTH?
“Lee singles on a soft pop up” – huh?
dropped into right.
BEING AT THE OFFICE SUCKS SOMETIMES!!! GO CUBS GO
SoTxCub - August 5, 2008 reply
I’m sad that that was wasted in the AL for so long
Come on, Aramis. Pick one out.
4-1!
pitching around him just like they did with Sori
If Ozzie can throw at a batter with the bases loaded Houston can certainly attempt to pitch around him…
What, we scored off it?
It’s still BAD!
JohnM - August 5, 2008 reply
Now.
SCORES! Woo!
But I kinda wish he could’ve run!
Actually no, it’s a good thing he didn’t have to slide! Too risky.
IDENTIFY YOURSELF WOMAN
(joke)
much better at bat the second time around Rammy
asking Wandy why he has such a goofy name.
why he has such a goofy birth certificate
asking if he needs some B-12.
gewurztraminer. LOL!
Two Buck Chuck I think it’s called…
are your two or three-buck chucks…
but I LOVE Trader Joes.
with a good wine section…
at least in indianapolis they do.
that should really belong to Chicago
after losing the Super Bowl.
...that i’d recommend living in not-indiana
it’s great to have a sales job…...shhhhhhh don’t tell my boss!
How did the Cubs score in the 1st?
PhillyCub - August 5, 2008 reply
that was almost yard. 5-1 cubs!
Sac fly, 5-1
been nice if it cleared the bases.
Erstad made a reed johnson catch
RUN. SUPPORT.
3Rbi today!!!
so many years of minimal run support from A’s
How close was that one?
he was in the vines when he caught it.
Blum slammed into the wall
Lee scores! 6-1!
6-1
Carousel Music
(I’ll have what they’re having)
Wonder how the brewers respond after their incident last night?
not like I’m concerned at all.
team that is mentally tough. That comes from Yost
visit their pen
Sweep the leg!!!!
YYEEAAAAAA
We do not train to be merciful in this dojo!
cubs2410 - August 5, 2008 reply
is making you sleepy?
no beer in the fridge and the dryer cleaner guy left an unopened mt dew in the fridge so popped it open and we score 4 runs in an inning
flies out to Lee on the warning track.
argh!
Mr Snrub - August 5, 2008 reply
when someone on your bench goes off…
that you were considering dropping Mark DeRosa from your fantasy league…
let’s do it again next inning.
might as well.
Dome will get his hit or run or RBI next time around.
......we’ve roped some today….
I think the rest has done good for DLee and others.
Keep the carousel going the next inning boys!
Ha-ha Wandy.
a magic Wandy!
on neck
apply pressure
What the hell?
for being a strikeout pitcher, Harden is getting a lot of non-K strikeouts…
...Thought we had it…
carlos lee was having a ton of fun with the fans in the lf bleachers before and after the play, too…
lswaidz - August 5, 2008 reply
S’all good.
Tejada: NO, I NO SWING.
Harden: IZ OKAY, I THROW DA HEATURZ DEN.
stealin ur hitz
.
For shame.
for a 3-2 count
This will not help.
GROUNDALITY!
“wow, offense today”
archimedes - August 5, 2008 reply
as humberto quintero’s bat-tossing contest he held last night.
you’d think he’d remember some pine tar…
without a K. My K key is sad.
NotSure - August 5, 2008 reply
something happen to our bullpen while I wasn’t looking?
80?
Hank White and Rich Harden go back to back right here
He might get 1 this year, I think
He will go yard
That’s what I call pounding the zone.
(wait for it)....
Well, he is from Canada.
while throwing fastballs at you?
too weird this time
twss
through three
six then one from wood, cotts, and kerosene.
lets score another couple offa this joker
...who just told me ‘Kansuki’ is having a bad game. (sigh)
flies out to deep center.
Harden
I mean, just last week I mistook Steve Nash for Zambrano.
on the radio.
I bet they both enjoy bananas.
It’s like White Castle, except without clogging the arteries
I think I’m going to get mini burgers at the Pub tonight…
made it sound TOTALLY gone. Sori flies out to Lee.
That was egregious, Pat. Egregious!!!
goodness.
Hate it when he does that.
and ask him to ask Pat to STOP it! I already did. If enough of us do, maybe he will….
there are some pitches he wishes he could un-throw… :D
I thought that ball was in Murphy’s beer garden. Sheesh!
He seems to be settling in after 7 hits and 6 runs
how was the play?
that’s not my name, nor am i a woman… but ok. the 12 pitch thing was sarcastic, hence “settling in” after 7 hits and 6 runs
If you have to explain the joke…
;)
like we need a hole in the head.
assassination humor.
I had to run spellcheck… hence the delay :)
it takes two asses to assassinate.
almost sprayed my monitor with coffee
11 o the 12 pitches were fastballs… big difference from the 1st two innings
atleast during 6th inning I wont happen to listen to someone talk about their new movie
if Todd will be with him
flies out to right.
people laugh at you
At least he’s batting with the bases empty….
and the ball would like to talk on Pat’s microphone…
4 Ks

PieFan08 - August 5, 2008

Well, it wasn't to the gap...
But it’s a double and scores two, boo-ya!
Jimmyeatworld - August 5, 2008
seems like it's someone different everyday coming through for this team
a great sign…
Bill Potter - August 5, 2008
Guys who had the night off:
2-2 with a walk and 2 doubles.
Fishbone2 - August 5, 2008
technically, DeRosa played
he lined out to the track in left and then played half and inning at second last night.
Bill Potter - August 5, 2008
Guys who didn't start last night:
2-2 with a walk and 2 doubles.
Fishbone2 - August 5, 2008
i like it!
Bill Potter - August 5, 2008
Needed them last night
though.
mondello58 - August 5, 2008
it would have been better
than watching daryle ward swing at roughly 90% of the pitches he saw
Bill Potter - August 5, 2008

To end the inning. 2-0, Good Guys.

mondello58 - August 5, 2008
nice.
digitalbenjamin - August 5, 2008
I had to laugh at him last night
even as I was hiding from the lightning myself.
gewurztraminer - August 5, 2008
Where would you guys rank Harden among MLB elite pitchers?
When he is healthy, he is electric
PieFan08 - August 5, 2008
High.
daver - August 5, 2008
great i jinxed him
PieFan08 - August 5, 2008
Top 20
at least.
mondello58 - August 5, 2008
Top 5
McRipper - August 5, 2008
I can't believe what that Oakland team had...
...when they had Hudson, Zito, Haren and Harden…. jeez….......
PurpleLineToWrigley - August 5, 2008
I don't think they had them all together,
did they?
mondello58 - August 5, 2008
I guess
Haren came in ‘05…But Huddy, Zito and Harden were awesome
PurpleLineToWrigley - August 5, 2008
Hahaha... ZITO?!?!
He had one great year, and two “okay” years.
He sucks ass.
NittanyCub - August 5, 2008
Umm..Yeah. He was sick on the A's.
PurpleLineToWrigley - August 5, 2008
Yeah he WAS.
NittanyCub - August 5, 2008
Make that "four" okay years
But damn, he sucks ass now
NittanyCub - August 5, 2008
102-63
is pretty good….
PurpleLineToWrigley - August 5, 2008
17-26 isn't.
(since he’s been with the Giants)
NittanyCub - August 5, 2008
how the hell did he get 17 wins?
sanantonecub - August 5, 2008
Agreed. Which is why I was commenting on his performance with the A's...
...I never said he has been good with the Giants. Nor did I ever even mention the Giants…
PurpleLineToWrigley - August 5, 2008
Then you're right.
I thought you were talking about the group if they were still together.
How the hell didn’t they win a WS?
NittanyCub - August 5, 2008
They were like the Sacramento Kings of the late 90's, early 2000's...
Lots of talent, just could never get out of the AL (Kings never got out of the West…)
PurpleLineToWrigley - August 5, 2008
I *think* they did have them all at once, yes, briefly
and they all agreed Harden had the best ‘stuff’ out of all of them
schmifty - August 5, 2008
actually, substitute Mulder for Haren
and then it’s right
schmifty - August 5, 2008
There you go.
Forgot about him…
PurpleLineToWrigley - August 5, 2008
When the guy is healthy, I'd honestly put him #1
Keep in mind that he isn’t even using his most dominating pitch (slider) nowadays; it’s all fastballs and variations of his changeup.
Obviously, he can’t use it because it’s too much strain on his arm, but it’s pretty crazy to think about.
NittanyCub - August 5, 2008
Mark Ellis (2B for A's) played behind all of the Big 3 (Zito, Hudson, Mulder) in their prime
and he says publicly that Rich is better than any of them. And the 3 of them agree.
schmifty - August 5, 2008
Blum singles to right
carmen_fanzone - August 5, 2008
Good pitch efficiency, i like!

Shanghai Badger - August 5, 2008
Where does Neifi Perez fit into this?

I saw that. I can't read lips. But I saw his expression. Priceless.
zevkalman - August 5, 2008
Lou: “Theriot I appreciate your attempt at a bunt, and hopefully it turns out better next time.”
Theriot: “I accept your warm consideration, and I hope I’m able to reciprocate your good-hearted feelings into a better at-bat next time.”
NittanyCub - August 5, 2008

BMoney79 - August 5, 2008
They're
pitching around him just like they did with Sori
Hilary Lee - August 5, 2008
pitching around him with the bases loaded?
IowaCubs- - August 5, 2008
Hey...
If Ozzie can throw at a batter with the bases loaded Houston can certainly attempt to pitch around him…
Hilary Lee - August 5, 2008
Good RBI Rami!!! Hahahaha.
carmen_fanzone - August 5, 2008
Damn that bases-clogging walk!!!
What, we scored off it?
It’s still BAD!
sanantonecub - August 5, 2008
They're so annoying

Rich Harden
SCORES! Woo!
Hilary Lee - August 5, 2008
Rich Harden: Offensive Juggernaut
NittanyCub - August 5, 2008
Haha I'm so excited for him that he got to score a run...
But I kinda wish he could’ve run!
Actually no, it’s a good thing he didn’t have to slide! Too risky.
schmifty - August 5, 2008
Are you an A's fan, or a Cubs fan?
IDENTIFY YOURSELF WOMAN

NittanyCub - August 5, 2008
Haha
Hilary Lee - August 5, 2008

Tejada on the mound
asking Wandy why he has such a goofy name.

Wandy asking Tejada
why he has such a goofy birth certificate
PurpleLineToWrigley - August 5, 2008
Awesome
malicedoom - August 5, 2008

gewurztraminer - August 5, 2008
Miggy Stardust

IowaCubs- - August 5, 2008
No
asking if he needs some B-12.
mondello58 - August 5, 2008
At least Wandy can count years correctly
NittanyCub - August 5, 2008
That from someone who's handle is...
gewurztraminer. LOL!
IowaCubs- - August 5, 2008
I like wine!
gewurztraminer - August 5, 2008
I like the one from Trader Joe's..
Two Buck Chuck I think it’s called…
Bump Bailey - August 5, 2008
the Charles Shaw wines
are your two or three-buck chucks…
Bill Potter - August 5, 2008
not a wine drinker...
but I LOVE Trader Joes.
Madison Cub Fan - August 5, 2008
What's a Trader Joe's?
gewurztraminer - August 5, 2008
grocery store...
with a good wine section…
bobby h - August 5, 2008
ah...Indiana doesn't have nice things
gewurztraminer - August 5, 2008
indiana has trader joe's...
at least in indianapolis they do.
Bill Potter - August 5, 2008
I live in the bastard part of Indiana
that should really belong to Chicago
gewurztraminer - August 5, 2008
yeah, i thought Chicago had to assume that part of Indiana
after losing the Super Bowl.
Bill Potter - August 5, 2008
one of several reasons...
...that i’d recommend living in not-indiana
bobby h - August 5, 2008
Tejada asks if he can call him "Magic Wandy"
digitalbenjamin - August 5, 2008
Just got home from work....
it’s great to have a sales job…...shhhhhhh don’t tell my boss!
How did the Cubs score in the 1st?
PhillyCub - August 5, 2008
That 'Coaching Visit To Mound' really did a lot, eh? :)
malicedoom - August 5, 2008

Damn, nice drive by Reed, even better catch...
Sac fly, 5-1
carmen_fanzone - August 5, 2008
Would have
been nice if it cleared the bases.
mondello58 - August 5, 2008
I liked the comment by Len
Erstad made a reed johnson catch
Gurbal - August 5, 2008
YEAH!!! Another run!
malicedoom - August 5, 2008
I call DeRo 2 rbi double again.
santoswoodenlegs - August 5, 2008
almost!
gewurztraminer - August 5, 2008
Two words:
RUN. SUPPORT.
malicedoom - August 5, 2008
DeRo!
3Rbi today!!!
Fishbone2 - August 5, 2008
Cubbies have really been hitting for Harden, he must love it
so many years of minimal run support from A’s
schmifty - August 5, 2008
Again gameday makes it look like a homer
How close was that one?
nji232 - August 5, 2008
very.
he was in the vines when he caught it.
drewishdrewid - August 5, 2008
2 steps on the warning track
carmen_fanzone - August 5, 2008
pretty close
Blum slammed into the wall
gewurztraminer - August 5, 2008
Would have hit the wall in the air.
Mapmaker - August 5, 2008
DeRosa singles!
Lee scores! 6-1!
drewishdrewid - August 5, 2008
Pile it on!!!
daver - August 5, 2008

Wonder how the brewers respond after their incident last night?
PhillyCub - August 5, 2008
against volquez
tim815 - August 5, 2008
That's gonna hurt
not like I’m concerned at all.
mondello58 - August 5, 2008
They're not a
team that is mentally tough. That comes from Yost
PhillyCub - August 5, 2008
let's
visit their pen
tim815 - August 5, 2008
No mercy!
Sweep the leg!!!!

Dome only one who isn't in on the fun
nji232 - August 5, 2008
Calling Mr. Harden, your run support is waiting in the lobby.
zevkalman - August 5, 2008
I need to drink more mt. dew
cubs2410 - August 5, 2008
because the game
is making you sleepy?
drewishdrewid - August 5, 2008
havent drank mt dew in years
no beer in the fridge and the dryer cleaner guy left an unopened mt dew in the fridge so popped it open and we score 4 runs in an inning
cubs2410 - August 5, 2008
Dome
flies out to Lee on the warning track.
drewishdrewid - August 5, 2008
Almost dropped DeRosa in my fantasy league today - whew!
malicedoom - August 5, 2008
Blasphemy!
IowaCubs- - August 5, 2008
i put him on the bench today.
argh!
Mr Snrub - August 5, 2008
In my league we call that a "SONOFABENCH"
when someone on your bench goes off…
IowaCubs- - August 5, 2008
santoswoodenlegs - August 5, 2008
i love this one
xene - August 5, 2008
I'm sorry, I could have sworn you said
that you were considering dropping Mark DeRosa from your fantasy league…
drewishdrewid - August 5, 2008
Dome just missed that one....GREAT INNING
carmen_fanzone - August 5, 2008
GO, WANDY!
malicedoom - August 5, 2008
That was fun,
let’s do it again next inning.
Blue W - August 5, 2008
well, since you asked...
might as well.
Bill Potter - August 5, 2008
Great inning
Dome will get his hit or run or RBI next time around.
nji232 - August 5, 2008
I don't think we're done...
......we’ve roped some today….
carmen_fanzone - August 5, 2008
Despite the loss last night
I think the rest has done good for DLee and others.
mondello58 - August 5, 2008
Keep the carousel going the next inning boys!
santoswoodenlegs - August 5, 2008
Nice!
gewurztraminer - August 5, 2008
well played.
Bill Potter - August 5, 2008
Pat's calls on flyball outs get me every time
flachimesa - August 5, 2008
46 pitches in 2 innings
Ha-ha Wandy.
NittanyCub - August 5, 2008
Definitely not
a magic Wandy!
mondello58 - August 5, 2008
place foot
on neck
apply pressure
tim815 - August 5, 2008
Wandy bats...we get at least one more inning of meatballs
carmen_fanzone - August 5, 2008
Barry Zito's pitching?
What the hell?
NittanyCub - August 5, 2008
Oooh I like these quick AB's
schmifty - August 5, 2008
you know
for being a strikeout pitcher, Harden is getting a lot of non-K strikeouts…
drewishdrewid - August 5, 2008
It's rare, and I don't understand it, but I really like it!
schmifty - August 5, 2008
makes your job easier!
IowaCubs- - August 5, 2008
hehe, and keeps him in there longer :)

Thanks for the Mortal Combat music stuck in my head now....ha.

For shame.
neverAcquiesce - August 5, 2008
that sound byte plays at South Bend Silver Hawks games
for a 3-2 count
gewurztraminer - August 5, 2008
This will not help.
santoswoodenlegs - August 5, 2008
YES.
PurpleLineToWrigley - August 5, 2008
Rich Harden wins! flawless victory
GROUNDALITY!
xene - August 5, 2008
lol Awesome
gewurztraminer - August 5, 2008
Love this email I just got from the husband
“wow, offense today”
gewurztraminer - August 5, 2008
these broken bats are crazy
archimedes - August 5, 2008
they're almost as dangerous
as humberto quintero’s bat-tossing contest he held last night.
Bill Potter - August 5, 2008
at least the fan didn't get hurt
archimedes - August 5, 2008
he tossed bats over the cubs dugout twice last night
you’d think he’d remember some pine tar…
Bill Potter - August 5, 2008
Come on Rich, finish this douche
malicedoom - August 5, 2008
TWS.....
santoswoodenlegs - August 5, 2008
1-2-3 inning
without a K. My K key is sad.
drewishdrewid - August 5, 2008
J and L are there to comfort him.
neverAcquiesce - August 5, 2008
I'm glad...strikeouts cause his pitch count to go up....need him to go longer today...
NotSure - August 5, 2008
we do?
something happen to our bullpen while I wasn’t looking?
drewishdrewid - August 5, 2008
I want as many innings of Rich as we can get....
NotSure - August 5, 2008
They bring a knife, Harden's got a gun, it's the Chicago way
alabebo - August 5, 2008
harden also voted 15 times before the game
lswaidz - August 5, 2008
All for a dead guy
John Q Freejazz - August 5, 2008
Easy inning.....Let's get some more runs!!!!
carmen_fanzone - August 5, 2008
OK, 3 outs - I think 41 pitches for Harden
malicedoom - August 5, 2008
40
nji232 - August 5, 2008
40
malicedoom - August 5, 2008
=
80?
NittanyCub - August 5, 2008
Rich HARDEN - not Rich HILL
malicedoom - August 5, 2008
Ba-dum tss
NittanyCub - August 5, 2008
Ok back on the offense
Hank White and Rich Harden go back to back right here
nji232 - August 5, 2008
I betcha Harden could crank one
He might get 1 this year, I think
schmifty - August 5, 2008
I think if he closes his eyes and gets one down the middle
He will go yard
nji232 - August 5, 2008
33 Strikes... 7 Balls... Zoiks.
That’s what I call pounding the zone.
(wait for it)....
Slim1256 - August 5, 2008
TWSS
NotSure - August 5, 2008
Pounding the strike zone with 7 balls?
Well, he is from Canada.
NittanyCub - August 5, 2008
Is that the metric system?
alabebo - August 5, 2008
So he's very polite
while throwing fastballs at you?
gewurztraminer - August 5, 2008
I guess my joke was a little
too weird this time
NittanyCub - August 5, 2008
twss
santoswoodenlegs - August 5, 2008
40 pitches
through three
six then one from wood, cotts, and kerosene.
lets score another couple offa this joker
tim815 - August 5, 2008
You're expecting kerosene to pitch today?
zevkalman - August 5, 2008
Go, Go Gadget Bats!
Blue W - August 5, 2008
TV gun also showing b/w 94 and 97 on the fastball?
lswaidz - August 5, 2008
yes, I'd say so
schmifty - August 5, 2008
Just spoke with my Dad who is at the game...
...who just told me ‘Kansuki’ is having a bad game. (sigh)
malicedoom - August 5, 2008
give him points for trying
gewurztraminer - August 5, 2008
Does he think will be able to hold the lead and beat the Colt 45's today?
santoswoodenlegs - August 5, 2008
I thought the Colt 45's are playing the Washington Senators today?
zevkalman - August 5, 2008
LOL
carmen_fanzone - August 5, 2008
kawasaki looks a little off today too, it's ok
lswaidz - August 5, 2008
Blanco
flies out to deep center.
drewishdrewid - August 5, 2008
I mean
Harden
drewishdrewid - August 5, 2008
Yeah, it's hard confusing a Venenzuelan with a Canadian.
I mean, just last week I mistook Steve Nash for Zambrano.
NittanyCub - August 5, 2008
they all look alike
on the radio.
drewishdrewid - August 5, 2008
I have the perfect body type, and face, for radio.
NittanyCub - August 5, 2008
was he giving someone a piggy back ride?
santoswoodenlegs - August 5, 2008
It could happen.
I bet they both enjoy bananas.
gewurztraminer - August 5, 2008
Well, who doesn't enjoy the potassium-rich fruit?
It’s like White Castle, except without clogging the arteries
NittanyCub - August 5, 2008
Oooo
I think I’m going to get mini burgers at the Pub tonight…
Hilary Lee - August 5, 2008
Do the Venezuelan's pound the strike zone with 7 balls, too?
Shanghai Badger - August 5, 2008
You'd better believe it's a hitters day! - Santo
archimedes - August 5, 2008
argh, Pat!
made it sound TOTALLY gone. Sori flies out to Lee.
drewishdrewid - August 5, 2008
Totally.
That was egregious, Pat. Egregious!!!
daver - August 5, 2008
i assumed that would be onto waveland the way he reacted
goodness.
Bill Potter - August 5, 2008
Pat can be a drama Queen
alabebo - August 5, 2008
He really got excited on that one!
Hate it when he does that.
Fishbone2 - August 5, 2008
Send Dave Eanet an e-mail
and ask him to ask Pat to STOP it! I already did. If enough of us do, maybe he will….
Shanghai Badger - August 5, 2008
He has been especially bad at foul balls and fly balls this past week or two
nji232 - August 5, 2008
Lowering Wandy's pitch count
malicedoom - August 5, 2008
Pretty sure that's not possible.
Slim1256 - August 5, 2008
LOL - only 12 that inning...
malicedoom - August 5, 2008
Though I suppose
there are some pitches he wishes he could un-throw… :D
Slim1256 - August 5, 2008
For crying out loud, Pat!
I thought that ball was in Murphy’s beer garden. Sheesh!
BMoney79 - August 5, 2008
12 pitch inning for Wand-Rod...
He seems to be settling in after 7 hits and 6 runs
lswaidz - August 5, 2008
other than that, Mrs. Lincoln
how was the play?
drewishdrewid - August 5, 2008
huh?
lswaidz - August 5, 2008
Other than watching your husband, the President, get shot and murdered...
how was the play?
neverAcquiesce - August 5, 2008
i'm confused...
that’s not my name, nor am i a woman… but ok. the 12 pitch thing was sarcastic, hence “settling in” after 7 hits and 6 runs
lswaidz - August 5, 2008
Nevermind.
If you have to explain the joke…
;)
neverAcquiesce - August 5, 2008
Guess they don't teach history in school anymore...
NotSure - August 5, 2008
We need to lose this game
like we need a hole in the head.
neverAcquiesce - August 5, 2008
ouch.
assassination humor.
Bill Potter - August 5, 2008
hehe. looks like you knew how to spell assassination.
I had to run spellcheck… hence the delay :)
jbau - August 5, 2008
Always remember:
it takes two asses to assassinate.
neverAcquiesce - August 5, 2008
Great. Assassination humor. ...
jbau - August 5, 2008
Wand-Rod...is that redundant?
daver - August 5, 2008

gewurztraminer - August 5, 2008
Hilar!
John Q Freejazz - August 5, 2008
interstingly enough...
11 o the 12 pitches were fastballs… big difference from the 1st two innings
lswaidz - August 5, 2008
