Bleed Cubbie Blue

I have never heard of this

good Howry

rumors of his existence persist

despite no one seeing it in a year

haven't seem

him around these parts lately. Though, the kids always say they can see his ghost appear from time to time. He never sticks around long enough to do anything notable though so they just ignore it as an old man’s tale. The one about when Howry was a good reliever.

howry....you suck and that last pitch was ugly

aznsensation - September 15, 2008 reply

They don't draw pictures on the scorecard.

TXCub - September 15, 2008 reply

ONE!

The poll on Evil BCB is HILARIOUS

Should Ned Yost have been fired?

Yes.

(They only give one option)

hi

What a deviant thing to say.

are you?

Lou In Blue - September 15, 2008 reply

Miggy Stardust at the plate.

Kerry Wood is warming up

Just in case

Two outs to go

The Howry proof thread

appeared to be working until he hit Tejada

oops tejada hit tejada

Maybe he didn't want to be left out

after Tejada hit himself

gamedays says nothing about a HBP

says he grounded out to 3B

halfblindcubbiegirl - September 15, 2008 reply

Premptive

I hate Tejada.

halfblindcubbiegirl - September 15, 2008 reply

I hate Tejada

bastard

i believe in howry.

fajita - September 15, 2008 reply

I hate Howry with the heat of 1,000 suns

but...

a thousand suns is just redundant, why not 1 sun, and a galaxy or two full of stars?

CubFan81 - September 15, 2008 reply

Dramatic effect.

Astros announcers:

“This is adding injury to insult”

Your team was overrated to begin with

Employee22 - September 15, 2008 reply

TWO!

OMG, I leave for awhile and Bob Howry is in the game?!

JB 23 - September 15, 2008 reply

you shouldn't have left

ONE TO GO!

Carolina Cubbie - September 15, 2008 reply

Two!

By god

Howry might pull this off!

but he ain't foolin' anyone.

two well-hit balls….

zevkalman - September 15, 2008 reply

ONE TO GO!

Ok one more out

Told ya - 1,2,3

TXCub - September 15, 2008 reply

Why Lou? Why Howry?

so...

do we get to see Bill Murray?

I dont see why not

good question

the third game may not even be played

We gave up a hit?!!!

unacceptable!!

Whoever gave it up should be fired!!

It was Ned Yost

i don't believe it...

send the tape to the league office.

Ball 2

Unbelievable. 3 guys and the BALL DROPS?????

Pre-emptive part 2

i also hate lance berkman

halfblindcubbiegirl - September 15, 2008 reply

I don't like him either

but I can’t explain why, I think its him mannerisms

Pat Hughes Psych.

Howry going for no-hitter?

No way…

Way to jinx it.

jay slash kay

Reddevil - September 15, 2008 reply

lets go

howry!!

fischisgod - September 15, 2008 reply

Wow you three

GREAT JOB…. NOT

One more strike Bob

lets see it!

One of those three should

have had that. Sheesh!!!

unbelievable

Pat said

Rami called Sori off, and then didn’t go for it.

CSN stalled. Sheesh

same problem here...

Actually

Howry has pitched good strikes so far. Come one more BOBBY!

3-2 da count

For the love of Santo!

it's embarrassing getting no-hit

it’s humiliating going 15 in a row without a hit

making howry look like a big leaguer

the worst

tim815 - September 15, 2008 reply

CUBS WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

6!!!

WE WIN

THREE!!!!

SWEEP! THE MAGIC NUMBER IS 6!!!!

CUBS WIN!!! CUBS WIN!!!!! CUBS WIN!!!!!!!

Howry can't make it easy

Seriously....

….he just had an uneventful 1,2,3 through the heart of the order.

TXCub - September 15, 2008 reply

pretty much.

But he had to toss one last ball in there

Just to mess with me

Magic Number - Keith Moreland.

what was more amazing?

Z’s no hitter yesterday, or

Howry’s perfect 9th?

LAcarl519 - September 15, 2008 reply

the latter

i always though z could do the first one.

halfblindcubbiegirl - September 15, 2008 reply

MAGIC SIX!!!

WOO HOO!!!!!!!!

I LOVE THIS TEAM!!!

sbs152 - September 15, 2008 reply

random cub fan after a game

halfblindcubbiegirl - September 15, 2008 reply

Lou In Blue - September 15, 2008 reply

one of my proudest moments... :D

That was a fun day.

I think what I like best about this pic

is that everyone around him is milling around getting ready to leave. Makes me wonder if he was still standing there arms stretched up holding the sign until the janitors were sweeping and they turned out the lights. He has that kind of loving determination about him.

brilliant

i love it!

sbs152 - September 15, 2008 reply

Four game streak!!!

CUBS WINS!

CaliCub - September 15, 2008 reply

this is very smart...

what a name for a kid… six

well played.

well played

don't understand

Win.

Clever...but you could have done better...she's hotter now.

You'll get your

birthday gift then too. ;-)

I can't even begin to comprehend this picture.

It's a birthday cake for a walrus...

fish on the cake…
walrus wanting to be surprised.

yeah me neither.

Yes! I've been waiting for our magic number to get small enought to count on one hand!

whoa

halfblindcubbiegirl - September 15, 2008 reply

dood.

How's you get a pic

of Alfonseca’s hand?

beat me to it

I think my brain is going to explode from all this baseball happiness.

MikeOxbyg - September 15, 2008 reply

PTown! Rock On!

you'll never believe...

i saw 2 guys holding hands there

not that there's anything wrong with that

I used to vacation there regularly

had a great time watching the families who had no idea what Ptown was about gawking their way down main street.

i was there over summer....

i had gone to the west end of US 6 on way to Death Valley. UNFORTUNATELY, they have NO SUCH SIGN at the east end. There is NO SIGN indicating the end of us 6 or the distance to cali – no imagination!

I think they just assume since you are at ocean's edge you'd kinda figure it out for yourself ;-}

Alluring picture

LILLY GIVES UP A HIT... SLACKER!

Fake.

Okay

off to get stuff done!

great game. lets smash some beers tomorrow, shall we?

halfblindcubbiegirl - September 15, 2008 reply

Post game show

just said the magic number is 5.

Who is right?!!!

5 for a playoff spot?

6 for division? I think.

halfblindcubbiegirl - September 15, 2008 reply

They said for both

it is 5 games

Well we face the Brewers

So it doesn’t make a difference, still thursday

That doesn't sound right.

not to me either

but no one corrected him, so now I am confused

Either way, I don't agree with your sig line.

This lead feels pretty damn epic.

:D

It does

feel epic, not sure what Ronnie was talking about. Our four game lead felt like 4 inches, but these 8 games feel pretty darn good

an 8 game lead can evaporate very quickly

and that’s what happened to the 69 cubs, no?

Look at what’s happened to the Brewers. Boom, they’re done.

Or last year's Mets.

I’m feeling pretty good right now, though. Much much better than this time last week.

well,

I should hope so. THESE are the Cubs we saw all year.

And good to get that hiccup out of the way sooner

rather than later.

hell yeah!

True, it can

but as you said above, we are finally seeing the team we watched all year start to surface again. With this team and 8 games, I feel pretty good

It's all relative.

If you had a hot team behind you 10 wouldn’t feel like enough. The Brewers are not a hot team.

Word

if we had the phillies behind us I would be a little more worried

True.

Once we get in, I’ll be pulling for the Brewers or Astros to eclipse them.

Six games to go! SIX!

Ah, ah, ah!

Following the same theme...

So, do we appeal to MLB and try to get that hit changed to an error?

I mean, seriously, it’s not like Lilly meant to throw that pitch or anything…

We should have

a Best of “Cubs Win” picture contest on the Fanpost, or fanshot

carmen_fanzone - September 15, 2008 reply

Wonder Woman Time! Cubs Win!

click to enlarge…

Great game! Lilly’s the man!

Kelly Clarkson is that you?

Having fun

googling the number 6? :P

were closing in on 40 pictures in this thread since the Cubs win... thanks to the magic number and the W

Just saw a pic of Lilly on cubs.com

and he’s wearing the American hat. They hadn’t worn those since Thursday, while several other teams have worn them all weekend. Is it pitcher’s choice?

This thread was brought to you today

by the letter W and the number 6

You know it.

I dont get it

6 Pack

nevermind, sorry.

How about this

CELEBRATING 90!!!!!

Checking the score

Great start by Lilly, solid hitting, even Howry went an inning and didn’t blow it.

One step closer to the post season!

MrNFL - September 15, 2008 reply

To say they are happy at evil BCB

is an understatement! I don’t blame them.

Here is something I enjoyed-

Rotoworld is confused they think Prince Fielder fired Ned Yost.
by jihad on Sep 15, 2008 3:44 PM CDT
No, but he did eat him
by Rendezvous on Sep 15, 2008 3:45 PM CDT
Maybe it’s a typo Maybe he got hungry and fried Yost—that’s why he was so hard to find.
