salparadise23 - September 11, 2008 reply

DLee no longer has any business in the 3 hole

one out, 3 unassisted

wow....Soriano with a non-hop

Fly out to Soriano 2 out

comments about the lack of hop

Hello everyone!

Is everyone that lives outside of Chicago excited that you can now get both the home and away tv feeds?

On MLB.com, I mean

EI, too -- sometimes

Yes, I like it. Cards announcers weren’t too bad to listen to last night, though

Wish they'd do the same on XM too!

+1

I suppose so -- although I'm in SE WI so 'GN isn't a problem

These navy-ish hats are really awful on teams with royal blue uni's

I believe the money raised goes to a good cause though.

Think it has something to do with veterans.

Aw, well that's nice then.

That's cool

Rich gets to choose the jersey top. Haven't really figured out his preference yet

Does anyone keep the W-L record based on jersey top?

I'll bet blue is high bc Zambrano always wears blue

Wasn't so good in August, was it?

very very true

Yes -- they should have worn the grey uni's with those hats

havent seen the gas yet from Rich......89 is fastest Ive seen

JB 23 - September 11, 2008 reply

He only has 9 pitches :)

I know....I am really jumpy. I think the last 10 games has something to do with it...

JB 23 - September 11, 2008 reply

gameday is listing 93

Gameday says he's been hitting 93

but… yeah.
Although he often tries to keep it low early.
I never know who’s gun is correct, either.

Pujols K's inning over

nasty hook

tim815 - September 11, 2008 reply

that would be a career high for ks

168

season high in career you mean?

No hitter thru 1 ;)

cubsfaninatl - September 11, 2008 reply

shouldn't there be another term

than postpone

if

the teams are considering relocating the games

and playing them as scheduled in a new locale

tim815 - September 11, 2008 reply

"Bizarro'd"

true.....but is that the case? i heard the latest that they are going to play them in houston

sunday and monday

Seligged

houston needs to get off their asses and play the games in STL

i am in KC this weekend, and would love to drive over

Check the forecast, then see if you still think that's a good idea

i know it is raining here, but i have sat in the bleachers in worse

Doesn't matter what it's doing in KC on Thursday

Check STL Fri/Sat/Sun

The stadium in SL is

being used for something else this weekend.

No, they cancelled it

Because of the forecast

Ah, ok

bastardos....how about KC?

it is open….that would be awesome!

Bottom 5 in Phily

Runner on 3rd, 2 out — after Utley fouls out.

Still 4-1

DeRo flys out to right

C'mon LBR

Make it double-digit homers for the year…

Fontenot walks

good AB by the Font

Geo....Geo....Geo!!!!!!!!

Wellemeyer seems to be afraid to go to his slider vs. the lefties

Makes him a two-pitch pitcher in that situation. Hmm…

Good patience by the bottom of the order tonight.

The power guys need to take some pointers.

Geo flys out to center two out

i would be really excited if we could score on this bullpen

Reed Mantle singles

Time for a Harden homer

come on Rich!

Let's see if Harden can hack like Marquis

Why Reed Johnson...

…hasn’t started since Saturday is beyond me.

TXCub - September 11, 2008 reply

Pie had a good game yesterday

Lou and his righty

lefty match ups.

With the bad weather, prolly best to keep Harden off the bases

Harden flys out to LF inning over

We are gonna score on this guy

lets see

12 pitches first inning,
24 in the second…
can we hope for 36 in the third?

that would be nice

if we do, we will score 5 runs!

and he will be out

I'd be interested to hear who everyone thinks is gonna make the playoffs in the NL

East: Phillies
Central: Cubs
West: Dodgers
Wild Card: Brewers

I don't like your list.

Since Houston told me that they are going to make it. Just sayin’

Huh? Elaborate?

You ignored Houston....and they are obnoxiously insisting that they're going to

the playoffs.

If I had to explain my joke, it clearly isn’t very funny. My bad.

Mets instead of philly

but what do i know

my take...

mets
cubs
dodgers
brewers

i like it

Ludwick flys out to center one out

alright, i am still not allowed to watch porn until we have a winning streak,

and bookwormbitches is looking mighty enticing

As I indicated last night...

…that’s a little bit extreme, man…

yeah, but when we rattle off like 5 in a row,

it will be well worth the sacrifice

.com or .org?

BradB311 - September 11, 2008 reply

i think they changed it to naughtybookworms.com

The rain concerns me.

The last thing we need is a rain out or a suspended game.

it never got that strong tonight

they can play in it if they want

That's good to hear.

What city are you in?

Columbia, Mo

Just talked to my gf

she’s on her way through Columbia now…from Rolla to Lawrence!

i cant believe people willingly enter kansas

just kidding, kind of

Lawrence is ok.

The rest of the state? Brr…

Don't try to argue crappy state vs crappy state with me

Missouri can’t even own their own city – they have to share their biggest cities with two other states.

of course they do

I won’t argue the merits of Missouri, bc I dont think there are any.

Well I told you I have a friend in Columbia now...

…and when my girlfriend and I go visit her, I’ll let you know!

alright

Radar looks OK for while....

Hopefully we can get the lead and make it official.

Here is the radar: LINK

Lopez flys out to center field Two out

Kennedy foul out to ARam

Inning over

does anyone think a minor league ballpark is an option for the series this weekend?

no

too few seats, not same quality field, and plenty of MLB parks available

good point but no one showed up to series for cleveland in miller park last year

As I recall, they drew rather well for a series that was put together, literally, at the last minute.

they actually outdrew some 2006 Brewer games

usually poor lights too.

even like a triple-a ballpark?

I guess even if you think it is (it isn't)

with all the available ML parks, why do it?

im very bias

i think when this happens they should put it in city’s who could get a major league team to prove themselves such like oklahoma city during katrina for basketball

that wouldn't be a fair test

if you have the team, you’ve got time to plan to attend the games

your right im just pushing the issue

I bet there's one close to you too, right?

you would be correct like i said im bias

Lighting isn't major league quality too.

Let's get some runs!!!!!!!!!!!

another nice inning by Harden...

Pitcher-beating bully HR's

4-3 Phillies in the 6th

kodypuckett23 - September 11, 2008 reply

4-3 philly

prince homers

20 pitches 2 innings

20 pitches through 2IP

Mama like

I Love Harden

Very Efficient and doesn’t give up a lot of hits

Sounds like a keeper to me!

Hee... sorry, this is probably really really old news to you guys

But I don’t live near Chicago so I only saw it a few days ago…
This Harden t-shirt cracks me up:

And a very smart girl showed me the exact photo it came from

Oswalt

40 through 4

He's been awsome of late.

Nono thru 2 for harden ;)

cubsfaninatl - September 11, 2008 reply

Rich Harden being injured or injury prone has only been mentioned 1000000000 times by the Cardinal announcers

He's out there pitching hurt, y'know...

Tossers.

I'm not surprised

In 2003 or something I was listening and they kept saying how the cubs should get a newspaper and preserve it so that they can commemorate being in first place.

Soriano K's

Riot grounds out to SS Two out

what is wrong with you?

sorry the screen jumped when

I was trying to post.

ron santo is so gay

And you’re a douche

calling the Riot a good, good looking fella

carmen_fanzone - September 11, 2008 reply

homophobic...

…much?

Yeah, seriously. Don't think there's much of anything in this world

to complain about Ron Santo. The guy’s an icon, legend, treasure, etc. in this organization.

+100000

And just now Ron attempts to say something...

“what am I talking about”? …silence, then, “it’ll come to me”….lol….that’s why I love him. warts and all.

Not me

He’s been stumbling around with his words all night. Previously trying to explain how nobody wants the hurricane to be serious.
It bugs me that the Cubs have had two announcers in a row whose main claim to fame is that they couldn’t pronounce players’ names.

Woo Smokies!

Where are the college football fans?

Biggest games of the weekend:

Friday night primetime:

Kansas @ #19 USF

Saturday:

Ohio State @ #1 USC
Wisconsin @ #21 Fresno State

And for shits-n-giggles:
Craptastic Michigan @ Craptastic Notre Dame

Who ya got?

I got Kansas in a blowout, a Beanie Wells-less OSU getting destroyed, a Badger team eking one out, and Notre Dame winning the Craptastic Bowl 2008.

Dan

That Badger game concerns me . . . .

It doesn't concern me.

Fresno isnt’ as good this year as they were last year. And Allen estabilished himself last game, and we have another plethora of RBs that can beat the hell outta anyone’s D-Line. And Beckum and Castillas are back – two of the VERY BEST in the country.
