you guys have a tough, tough job on many levels. My bro is a middle school music teacher. Favorite story: he hung a picture of Leonardo DiCaprio in his music room at the height of the Titanic craziness. Whenever the boys acted out or screwed up they had to come up and kiss the poster… ROFL.
IF we are not going to score enough to win this game, then score no runs in the 9th. Don’t waste ‘em. Just save ‘em for tomorrow and beat the DeadBirds tomorrow and take the series.
Either score enough to win the game or go quietly into the night.
It’s my anniversary today…23 yrs of wedded headlock, and a dinner appointment awaits. This was truly a blast, although the wrong team is winning. Nice meeting you, and see you tomorrow, all!
is that it’s only one loss, and we got all of our bad pitching and bad hitting out of our system. Tomorrow, everything (except Joe Morgan) will be a blissful Cubs celebration.
Then I realized that maybe this will really wake up the team. Not that we weren’t playing well, because we have been playing awesome, but maybe the whole team can look at this game and refocus.
The whole team should go out, get wasted, and then kick ass tomorrow.
Please get some runs!!!

spoiledcubbage - August 9, 2008
Second
in your world
Gurbal - August 9, 2008
how'd you come up with your moniker, spoiled?
Emelie - August 9, 2008
Y'know...
I tried incorporate teaching and Cubs, but failed. Miserably. This was the best alternative I had.
(hangs head in shame)
spoiledcubbage - August 9, 2008
lol!
OH… it’s cubbage… being the BCB cole slaw queen I read cabbage! Love it either way.
Emelie - August 9, 2008
Please tell me that Lou is coming out to get ejected for that K out call.
santoswoodenlegs - August 9, 2008
I think he is watching the Olympics
LAcarl519 - August 9, 2008
The Minnesota Twins have the Republican National Convetion in town
.......so they got that going for them according to Karros
Gurbal - August 9, 2008
Yes but
The twins will be out of town at that point in time and that’s really the hardest point for a team…
eye roll
Hilary Lee - August 9, 2008
our bats are deaf today
Emelie - August 9, 2008
Seriously.
Where did they go?!
slcathena - August 9, 2008
santoswoodenlegs - August 9, 2008
Despite our Cubs getting pasted,
this has been a fun first time here for me. I kinda likes it here. Just sayin’.
spoiledcubbage - August 9, 2008
It takes some of the pain away
Emelie - August 9, 2008
Misery loving company
and all that. Can’t wait to be here when we win a game (he said, crossing fingers and hoping no one thinks of him as a jinx).
spoiledcubbage - August 9, 2008
Best. Cub. Board.
On. The. Web.
CaliCub - August 9, 2008
Shortest. Six. Sentences.
Ever. Posted.
santoswoodenlegs - August 9, 2008
It makes it
easier to share the pain with others too.
sue369 - August 9, 2008
what grade do you teach?
LAcarl519 - August 9, 2008
High school math
Algebra and math-they-should-have-learned-in-junior-high-but-didn’t-and-got-socially-promoted-anyway.
spoiledcubbage - August 9, 2008
I come from a long line of teachers
you guys have a tough, tough job on many levels. My bro is a middle school music teacher. Favorite story: he hung a picture of Leonardo DiCaprio in his music room at the height of the Titanic craziness. Whenever the boys acted out or screwed up they had to come up and kiss the poster… ROFL.
Emelie - August 9, 2008
LMAO
That’ll learn ‘em!
CaliCub - August 9, 2008
very cool. math/algebra is important.
LAcarl519 - August 9, 2008
Thanks
Been doing this for 25 years. I’d quit if I wasn’t so damned good at it.
spoiledcubbage - August 9, 2008
that's so great to hear
we need to clone you
Emelie - August 9, 2008
I think that band of sunlight coming across the plate is in their eyes right now
and it is making it hard to pick up the ball.
That is my guess.
LAcarl519 - August 9, 2008
I can't remember another game like this one all year
where we seem to be just playing out the string. (Not saying we can’t come back. Just commenting on the feel of it.)
Reddevil - August 9, 2008
If they have to have one
of those type of games now is the time to have it instead of say Oct..
sue369 - August 9, 2008
Crap
This is the last day game for the next eight days.
JohnM - August 9, 2008
Including today?
santoswoodenlegs - August 9, 2008
Next day game is eight days from today
that’s what I meant to say
JohnM - August 9, 2008
This game is the last day game today.
santoswoodenlegs - August 9, 2008
I'm tired.
JohnM - August 9, 2008
oh crap
I don’t do night games (OK… I hear the collective sigh of relief!)
Emelie - August 9, 2008
They are early
times though. 6:10 pm
sue369 - August 9, 2008
The west coast games
are for the birds!
Reddevil - August 9, 2008
Wait...you're still talking about baseball right?
santoswoodenlegs - August 9, 2008
At least
They’re early… that one stretch of time where every game seemed to start at like 9:30pm killed me
Hilary Lee - August 9, 2008
me too
sue369 - August 9, 2008
What's their record in day games?
I’m too lazy to look it up
Barkman - August 9, 2008
36-soon to be 22
spoiledcubbage - August 9, 2008
Night games?
Hilary Lee - August 9, 2008
34-25
spoiledcubbage - August 9, 2008
Reflects the home/away splits
JohnM - August 9, 2008
OK, I will say it now.
IF we are not going to score enough to win this game, then score no runs in the 9th. Don’t waste ‘em. Just save ‘em for tomorrow and beat the DeadBirds tomorrow and take the series.
Either score enough to win the game or go quietly into the night.
LAcarl519 - August 9, 2008
agreed
sue369 - August 9, 2008
+1
my first

Useless news update
Angels win.
Reddevil - August 9, 2008
Useless news update
Pujols gets on base.
santoswoodenlegs - August 9, 2008
I still want...
a brat….
Hilary Lee - August 9, 2008
but does the brat want you?
Emelie - August 9, 2008
I don't know...
But I know I have a good relationship with its friends – chips and beer….
Hilary Lee - August 9, 2008
Wish....granted.

Cardinals score another run
santoswoodenlegs - August 9, 2008
Another Cards run would
just be the icing on the tombstone
/downer mode
spoiledcubbage - August 9, 2008
jeebus
sue369 - August 9, 2008
oh man...
Emelie - August 9, 2008
At least...
Gaudin didn’t give these up in a close game…
Hilary Lee - August 9, 2008
I hate it when even Izworthless scores.
zevkalman - August 9, 2008
Bags full
Not a ood inning for Gaudin
Itchy - August 9, 2008
Are you kidding me? A pinch hitter up 10-3?
LaRussa is a schmoe…
I hope they remember to run it up on the Cards tomorrow…...
NotSure - August 9, 2008
LTR must be taking a few swigs on the bottle in the dugout.
zevkalman - August 9, 2008
Tony Being Tony
Put it this way, I’d never be scuba diving buddies with the guy.

Cardinals not giving up…Glaus loads the bases with a single.
santoswoodenlegs - August 9, 2008
Hoping That Demps Pwns Them Tomorrow
7+ innings of 4 hits-or-less ball, whilst the offense pounds Carpenter.
CaliCub - August 9, 2008
Demps = Bona Fide Stopper
Reddevil - August 9, 2008
It's nice to have a Dempster and Harden waiting to stop any losing streaks :-)
zevkalman - August 9, 2008
And you'd think our "ace" wouldn't be the pitcher that would start any of those.
santoswoodenlegs - August 9, 2008
we will let them get it out of their system..... No hits or runs tomorrow
deployedcubfan - August 9, 2008
12 to censored 3 censored me
Emelie - August 9, 2008
I don't think we've had a blowout like this all season
Emelie - August 9, 2008
According to commentators
12 runs is tied for the most of a Cubs opponent at Wrigley all season
Hilary Lee - August 9, 2008
Well...
It’s my anniversary today…23 yrs of wedded headlock, and a dinner appointment awaits. This was truly a blast, although the wrong team is winning. Nice meeting you, and see you tomorrow, all!
spoiledcubbage - August 9, 2008
Happy anniversary, man.
zevkalman - August 9, 2008
congrats!!!
Emelie - August 9, 2008
Fare
thee well
Reddevil - August 9, 2008
23 years? In a row?
santoswoodenlegs - August 9, 2008
I Bet She's Hot!
seriously, congratulations and have a nice dinner.
CaliCub - August 9, 2008
Are we just lobbing pitches up there to get to the mercy rule?
santoswoodenlegs - August 9, 2008
Who's pitching tomorrow for the Cards?
Gurbal - August 9, 2008
Carpenter
JohnM - August 9, 2008
That's weird.
season debut, right?
Reddevil - August 9, 2008
Think He Pitched Against LA This Past Week
CaliCub - August 9, 2008
3rd or 4th game
Barkman - August 9, 2008
3rd game
Gurbal - August 9, 2008
Pretty sure it'll be his third
He went 4 innings the first time, and I think 5 the second time, so he’s still probably on a pitch count.
JohnM - August 9, 2008
So they might be 12-5 since Soriano's return, instead of 13-4
I can live with that.
JohnM - August 9, 2008
Maybe the...
Nats’ll have a good game
Hilary Lee - August 9, 2008
Nats have a good game???? BWWAHHHHHH!!
NotSure - August 9, 2008
Well they have won...
44 times this year
Hilary Lee - August 9, 2008
I feel bad for the kid
his first Cub loss
Emelie - August 9, 2008
But he got to interview Lou on national TV
JohnM - August 9, 2008
wasn't that memorable?
He was so good interviewing Lou… and Lou loving every moment… AND giving him good answers… just perfect
Emelie - August 9, 2008
FOX = BSPN
Talking all about Yankees, Joba, etc.. What’s next, Brett Favre’s bathing habits? Sheeesh!
CaliCub - August 9, 2008
"You've got a hall of fame career on your hands."
—Mark Grace discussing how the Yankees should handle Joba.
Gag.
Reddevil - August 9, 2008
he says many, many stupid things.
I hope he never ends up broadcasting Cubs games.
LAcarl519 - August 9, 2008
Wake up Troy
Barkman - August 9, 2008
Daryl Ward has not been good this year
Gurbal - August 9, 2008
I call Blano walkoff...
groundout to 2nd.
santoswoodenlegs - August 9, 2008
Blanco...
santoswoodenlegs - August 9, 2008
Suckiest game of the season
Emelie - August 9, 2008
yep
get ‘em tomorrow.
sue369 - August 9, 2008
The good thing is that we've suffered through precious few of these.
The Mariners might just call it another day at the office.
DeRoMyHero - August 9, 2008
GO NATS!!!
starting soon
Gurbal - August 9, 2008
good night.
let’s get the series finally tomorrow night!!
LAcarl519 - August 9, 2008
bye Carl
Emelie - August 9, 2008
don't beat me up!
LAcarl519 - August 9, 2008
I'll be gentle
Emelie - August 9, 2008
Anyhoo...
How ‘bout those Olympians!?
Reddevil - August 9, 2008
Ugh...I'm out...get 'em tomorrow.
NotSure - August 9, 2008
The best thing about this
is that it’s only one loss, and we got all of our bad pitching and bad hitting out of our system. Tomorrow, everything (except Joe Morgan) will be a blissful Cubs celebration.
DeRoMyHero - August 9, 2008
oh, well.
I’d rather have won a game like yesterday’s and lost a game like today’s rather than the other way around.
Can’t win every game. Sometimes it just happens.
drewishdrewid - August 9, 2008
yep
sue369 - August 9, 2008
Today's game made me sick at first
Then I realized that maybe this will really wake up the team. Not that we weren’t playing well, because we have been playing awesome, but maybe the whole team can look at this game and refocus.
The whole team should go out, get wasted, and then kick ass tomorrow.
