Foist
And then there was ONE
Looks like a four-way tie.
LET GO CUBBIES!!!!!!!
Say no to SWL
traitor!
Fight the power!
You do realize that you will be forced to run against

SWL and Sue now.

SWL should be easy to take out but Sue is loved by everyone.

Good Luck

I have already stated my post in this election.

I am the embarrasing brother in law (ie Billy Carter). I have no intellect, credentials, or money and am likely to be found on my front porch drinking beer.

Say yes to Soto!

just fantastic.

probably secured my vote, right there.

Probably?!

That’s 18 kinds of awesome right there.

i'm going to leave my options open

you know, to accept bribes and whatnot…

I apologize,

you are wise beyond your years.

I'd like a list of those 18 kinds please.

STAT!

That's excellent.
Very nice. Very, very nice.
I think we now know what Sue's new Wallpaper will be

Well done sir

Nope!
That's right.

You just picked the donuts from earlier!

Johnny Van Der Meer is shaking in his boots...
Let's do this Cubs!!!!
Look for "Love the Ivy"

and Dan in the crowd today. LTI will have a sign for L & B and Dan will have his Geo jersey on.

Whats L & B?
Lettuce and Biscuits
Oddly enough, that's what I'm having for lunch.
len and bob
Ah, but of course.
Leonard & Bill
Have we done lineups yet?
I don't think so.
here they are:

Cards:
Schumaker – CF
Ludwick – LF
Pujols – 1B
Lopez – 2B
Glaus – 3B
Kennedy – RF
Miles – SS
Wainwright – P
LaRue – C

Cubs
Soriano – LF
Theriot – SS
Lee – 1B
Ramirez – 3B
Edmonds – CF
DeRosa – RF
Fontenot – 2B
Blanco – C
Some guy who threw a no-hitter – P

I smell roasting Redbirds!

Let’s get this done for Z and all the fans at the game and tuning in around the nation.

Earth to Pat Hughes.
there goes the no no
WGN missed pitches again

and missed the double.

Double by Shu
I've been pretty impressed with Shomaker

he also has big Z’s #

So much for the no-no
yeah there goes it
Oh my god, this is terrible, how can we go on!!!!

blah blah blah

I might be able to cope with a win.

…might

Let's hope we don't see...

…a drastic “regression to the mean” for Big Z here.

Single - 1st and 3rd - Nobody Out - WTF
Here we go - first inning blues.
didn't we already play this game yesterday?
DP

and give up the run, it won’t stand up with the way we’re swinging the lumber.

Death... I mean Pujols is up.
1-0 Cards

no worries.

Zambrano was probably due

to give up some hits and a run or two…

Does anyone really think this game will end 1-0?

Like Drew said; “No worries.”

Argh

Cards are hitting today

I'm warming up the Cubs bats............

looks like we’ll need em

right down Broadway!
Another hit - 1-0 Cards - NOBODY OUT
I need an Aeron couch...

all this baseball is throwing my back out

Come on Z, how about missing a few bats.
Um, we're NOT clinching today? LOL
was the last time Big Z faced the Cards that 5 or 6 homer game?
Yeah, Pat just mentioned it.
Looks like Z need a hurricane and Milwaukee to help him out again

I kid I kid, I joke I joke

From a no-no to (so far) 3 hits in the first inning
WALK - BASES LOADED - NOBODY OUT
We haven't even batted folks.

Easy…

I'm getting more worried about Z than the game right now.
Does he look bad?
Not sure - I'm listening to the audio.
I wouldn't say bad... just worrisome
Cheers.

Maybe just first inning jitters after a no-no.

We’ll see.

very worrisome
yeah, he's

a little out of sorts right now

Maybe Z should get really angry and jump around and yell at himself and try to thow the ball harder and harder.
pete's sake

it’s the first inning, people. I don’t think it should have been unlikely to anyone that Z would be a little tight today. And we have a freakin NINE GAME LEAD.

10 in the loss column
avast ye scurvy ker

kill these cards

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Is Z done ALREADY?
Yea!

26 more of those!

It's the first... we got this one.
Gameday is on crack
And my mlb.tv is stuck in Loading land :(
If I was a gatorade jug in the Cubs dugout

I’d be veeeery worried

well

it’s gonna be another big comeback game today.

Adam Kennedy? WTF?
trying to boost his trade value
I thought LaRussa wasn't even going to start him anymore.
whats really amusing is the ESPN web piece

about how Kennedy wants out of STL because TLR told him he’s not starting 2B.

figures.

All the more dramatic

when they come back today, right? :)

The Angels had the same "issues"

This season right before they clinched the division

Huh....would you look at that.
ask for trade = hit grand slam
If he can settle down

and our offense can get going we’ll be ok.

Well, that's one way to take the suspense out it.
AK's 2nd homer of the year

a GS off Z? Is this the Twilight Zone or what?

so you're saying Theriot is due?
Just to show everyone...

…Z is human.

Maybe we don't got this one.
Wind's blowing out

This might be one of those 13-12 games.

We're the one with 13, right?
Adam Kennedy goes yard, i'm assuming the wind is blowing out ...
you didnt watch yesterdays game did you
it's the first inning!
Not to worry...

its probably so the fans can celebrate the division with the team. If the Cubs win today and the Brewers lose, well the players will all either be home or watching it together at Wrigley, someones house or a restaurant.

If the Cubs lose and the Brewers lose, well when the Cubs win tomorrow that’ll be that.

Um, let's get those runs back...ok?
Uh, yeah.

That was sobering.

the way Wainwright has pitched of late...

and with the wind today, it’s completely possible.

Holy poop

Poop Poop Poop…

Time to you, know, hope that the wind helps us too.

Phef. Z pitched a no no last time...

He’s averaging 2 hits per game the last two starts :)

Not to worry...Z gets to bat at least 3 times this game...we'll get the runs back.
I look at this game as a warm up.

Z will calm down and get his 5 innings inning in.

I should be fine, win or lose.

Maybe Z is STILL recovering from partying the night of his no no
I think D. Lee goes deep
TWSwasthinking.
You know what they say about big feet...
What do his pitches look like on TV?

Frustrating being out of TV land for something like this. Is his velocity down?

pitchs = could not tell they were...

…flying back at him and over him too fast.

too many way outside
based on gameday, velo is ok

location/command appear to be the problem

Looks like someone ordered

another Cubs Comeback.

Anyone else have a frozen CSN feed?

Not that I wanted to see that inning, but…just wondering if I should call my cable provider, and you know, be on hold for an hour.

THis is just a nice set up.

Brewers lose tonight… Cubs clinch on field tomorrow.

Au contraire....

I think the Cubs win today and the Brewers win tonight and the Cubs win again tomorrow on Fox to clinch

Whoo doggies

Shirt-rolling time, I guess.

Yep. Shirt rolling, ass kicking time.
All the Cubs have to do is Score two runs

Then it is a real ball game.

The can do it but if not no worries. You can’t win them all

Momentum in baseball is so magical.........isn't it? wtf?
you're totally grace under pressure...
Big Z's ERA just jumped from 3.41 to 3.63 that inning
Good start for Sori

leadoff single.

Thank you Sori! Single
Typical Cubs / Card game...

… one team gets big lead early.

Other team battles back and seems to win in later innings.

Again, this is a typical rivalry game. CALM DOWN!!!

Uh, I think we are calm.
who's getting excited?
Sorry, I will use my indoor voice now.
If Kennedy went deep

Then Theriot should do the same.

you're dunk right now right?
Let's start a RIOT!
i've never seen BCB this positive...

after 5 first-inning runs by the other team!! GO CUBS GO!!! I smell a comeback!

we expect to win.

because that’s what this team does.

Yesterday was a magical game

if they can win that game, they can win this one…..

Z's getting Lit up. Take him out!

Man, they can’t even hear me through this glass…

Ostrich? That's a bird!
Best commercial ever!
I'd be happy with 2 runs this inning.
YOU CAN DO IT!!!

You can do it aaallll niiight loooong

After yesterday, it would take an injury to get me depressed.
Did I just hear Len say that Theriot is only hitting .204 in September?
Yup, and double clutching.
he also

hops like a crow.

Only when DLee goes deep
Scrappy is as scrappy does.
think he sucks NOW?
Theriot does not suck, he is just OPS-challenged.

Also he can’t throw, and he doesn’t have a lot of range, but he is OURS!

if he's going to be a mascot

let him wear a parrot suit.

But that's a SCRAPPY .204

.204 on the scrappy scale is really .349

you gotta add in

the .47 Ecksteins, and that’s got quite a conversion rate.

Holy bleep...just got here

and they hang a 5-spot in the first?

Where’s that ledge? (j/k)

granny made her way into the game
Yeah, just read the scoring summary

Grannies do tend to made that lead bigger

Where's that confounded ledge?

Have you seen the ledge?
I wanna tell you 'bout my DeeeeeLeeeeeeeeee.....
The ledge has a nice safety net under it
wind blowing out, no way this game ends 5-0

we got this one.

This is NOT a ledge jumping comment.............

but i’ll be glad when this weekend is over. I can’t stand the Cardinals

its been an interesting week, han't it

First the whiney Astros in Miller Park, then the Brewers, followrd by the Cards. No way the schedule makers should put STL and MIL in back to back series at home in September. It’s exciting and irritating at the same time.

Big Z is my favorite player

but he is a FUCKING CHILD.

I can’t help but feel that if he could learn to control his emotions he’d be the best pitcher in the league. Instead, he insists on riling himself up at every opportunity.

He needs to calm down. Period.

Remember when you point a finger

you have three pointing back at you.

Maybe it's Cub fans who need to calm down.
I know I'm overreacting

but I can’t help but worry that in the playoffs, a guy whom you pay $16m is expected to keep his cool.

I think you're overreacting to his alleged overreacting.
Lee walks.

two on for Rami, only one out!

Here we go here we go!!!!
Ah, but he's OUR fucking child! :)

(sorry, ‘reply’ not working from here today)

I'll have the ARAM Special

a 3R dinger!

Walkage...I love me some RISP
Man, keeping this up for 8 more innings is going to kill me.
ARAm Bomb.

Do it, Rammy!

All you gotta do it hit it in the air with some OOMPH and it'll likely go out
that wasn't deep enough
too high!
Uh-oh, Rexie, I don't think this one's got the distance.
Got any naked pictures of your wife? Wanna see some?
What do you mean too high? (banging drum)
What, no TWSS?? :)
Let's just get a few at a time, basehit will do
Wainwright looks wild

… just look where he’s setting up… totally missing his targets

At least they're getting his pitch count up.
AWW! That wouldn't be a HR in a phone booth!
Just got home from work

5 runs in the top of the 1st with Z on the mound?!?!?!?

What happened?

wind blowing out and Adam Kennedy got lucky with the bases loaded
Damnit, A-Ram - A POP OUT? Shit.
A win today would be nice......

….but let’s be honest, pretty far from necessary. So let Z half-ass it and have a let down game. He’s earned it.

You know I

kind of expected that to happen.

Yeah, as long as it's just a let down game...

…and nothing else, I can live with it.

Jimmy Balgame

Time to shine and burn your former employers…

don't get ejected please.
If he does get ejected then well get

Pie!

A nice slice of Punkin' Pie!
Time for some payback, Jimmy Ballgame
dang

had a chance, didn’t make it work. Keep hitting Wainwright, and we’ll get to him.

No runs.
in the 1st

8 more innings and we can do this!

But Tony LaRussa comes through...

LaRue batting 9th? Lilly should be playing on the Cardinals.

They can't handle the force of nature that is Theodore Roosevelt Lilly
I spoke way too soon...
Double....

Bullpen up

sheesh Sori doesn't know to raise his hands with a ball in the ivy??
huh?
when the ball bounced into the ivy it was Edmonds who raised his hands for the ump

Sori just stood there staring at the wall and it was his ball

Couldn't figure out how to hop and raise his hands at the same time...
LaRue leadoff double.

Someone’s up in the bullpen.

Is this BP?

The Deadbirds are smacking it against Z today…the no-no must have taken an emotional toll.

I'm not hyperventilating here, but...

Let’s get Z out of this so he can get some rest.

Marshall is up in the pen.
Arrrrgggggg

which matey is in the pen?

Marshall is gonna come in and dominate these guys
I believe he has pitched well against them.
Theriot and that damn

double pump almost didn’t make that throw in time.

I had to break a the catcher on my son's baseball team from that habit...

and it was easy.

But it looked so SCRAPPY
nice DLee shot on the shutter cam :D
Pujols photo in Gamecast looks like he's stoned
I can't take it anymore....down by 5 runs with a men on 2nd & 3rd in the 2nd inning.

Zambrano is a head case! He is so “mercurial” (thanks, Len).

I’m going to ledge jump off the Chicago Spire. Goodbye cruel world!

careful, don't fall in the hole.
poop
I see your poop and raise you a

crap

It stinks doesn't it?
I fear

for the Gatorade coolers.

I fear

for his pitching hand if he breaks something.

Z must've left his good pitches

back at Miller Park

Soto would have blocked that.
using nothing but Charisma.
and a dazzling smile
He also would have saved the world from

ugly people

wow.

7-0. Lou to Larry: “You can go get him now…”

No, keep him in. Let's see how he reacts.
walked Glaus.

now he’s out.

"Well, at least it was a strike"
Geeze..is Z going to take one for the team? Get him out.
Agreed. He's not the guy to try that with.
no harm in letting him get his ~80 pitches in
He's too mentally fragile to do that.
Sounds like a catharsis game...let out all the ugly at once
Wow. Nice word. Let's also talk about Iambic Pentameter, shall we?
I thought I would up the

sesquipedalian content of the board a little for kicks

Lou will let him hit once this game
I wouldn't let him hit...
Crap that pitch was awful.
Yeah, lets put some more Cardinals on base

for Adam “slugger” Kennedy….

Why do we have expanded rosters again?
This is really putting a damper on my plans

to watch the no-hitter replay tonight.

All I can say is...

better now than in the playoffs. Let’s get this all out of Z’s system today.

It all makes sense now. The boo crew will

lose tonight to Dusty’s boys. That will allow us to celebrate on the field with the team tomorrow. It’s perfect.

anybody make out what Z said to the crowd??
They weren't booing him

were they???

Did anyone else just drastically lose volume...

…on their Gameday Audio?

yes
Man, nothing is going right this game.
click the listen icon, then WGN

seemed to “reboot” it

It sounds like mine came back...

…but I’ll try that if it happens again. Thanks.

I couldn't hear anything over all my

screaming

Love Z...

…but that outing was fugly

Did anyone see Z "untuck" himself there as he left the mound?
Quoth Ron:

“I just fear for what he’s going to do in the dugout. Hopefully he doesn’t hurt himself.”

Z reminds me of...

The 12-inch softball pitcher on the team I played against last night. We hit the inning-max in runs (7) one inning without a hit. She couldn’t throw a strike to save her life. I took four walks in that game and am not that good.

You suck for walking in softball.
Agreed

Walking in softball means you care WAY to much

You'd rather

I swing at pitches over my head, or ones that bounce to the plate? Like that makes any sense!

If Chewbacca is a wookie

you must acquit! It makes no sense!

Why would Chewbacca

hang out on a planet with Ewoks?

You are def

That Softball Guy

Well...

I’m actually female… so I’m thinking your characterization is wrong

OK...so in all four of you AB...there wasn't a SINGLE hittable pitch?
Well

Several of them would have hit me had I not moved out of the way, and those were the ones that actually made it in the vicinity of the strike mat.

strike mat?

I don’t understand softball at all.

That's where they put a mat behind the plate and if the ball hits it it's a strike.
even if it bounces in front of the plate?
Yeah like cricket. Of course not!
It's 12 inch

Co-ed rec league. There is a plate, as well as a foot and a halfish long mat behind it. That makes the entire thing like a long rectangle.

As long as the pitch meets a certain height requirement and hits a piece of the plate OR the mat it is considered a strike. Thus, when a pitch is not a strike it is really, really bad.

it's like an ump that can't make mistakes?
Basically

But there’s an ump there too to judge height and whether or not the ball actually hits the mat.

where does this ump stand?
Behind

And to the opposite side of whereever the batter is

now

I really don’t understand.

What don't you get?
just trying to picture it.

so the mat is right behind the plate, in line with the pitcher.

The ump switches sides depending on what side the batter bats from?

yes...so he can see the plate and mat.
you got it.
okay...

I guess… if the ump is there, why do you need the mat?

The only thing

that the ump has discretion over is the height of the pitch… other than that it’s pretty obvious if it is a strike or not.

You need to be there. It makes sense when you see it.
never done softball...
+1

I pitch in softball and get so pissed when people just stand there and take a walk. Swing the freakin’ bats!!!

I pitch too, in softball.

The ones who sit there and take pitches are the ones I throw two juicy strikes down the middle of the plate and get ahead 0-2. Then when they figure they have to swing, I throw crap inside and they stirke out swinging or pop up to the thirdbaseman

Could you talk to Big Z?
Did she 'readjust' herself after every pitch, too?
Got any pictures of the "readjusting" ?
Not to pile on....

but this is why Z won’t ever win a CY Young…he can’t minimize damage when the shit hits the fan.

We saw the Beast

WGN shows the Beauty later tonight

Carlos??

How does a guy go from being so good to being so bad? He’s been on again and off again for awhile now.

A tale of 2 Z's
I was thinking more 'twosie' than 2 Z's
It was the best of games, it was the worst of games....
The Lord givith...The Lord taketh away.
No...it was the worst of games.
Z needs to ice his arm and see his shrink so he can unload that nightmare of a start
Hey, Lou said he might go out last night and have a 'bad night'

maybe the team took him up on that.

8-0
hey, a touchdown and a two-point conversion and we're back in this!
But more importantly

are the Gatorade coolers intact?

I'm thinking about a story of a guy who sells his soul

to the devil to pitch a no-hitter. I don’t know why that image just popped into my head but I just felt a chill run down my back.

That was the ghost of the goat!
That's The Goat That Shall Not Be Names

TGTSNBN

Lol this game has me laughing now
Sometimes, you gotta
When Adam Kennedy hits a grand slam

I will laugh. Give these punks a thought that they might still be something. Better when Lilly breaks their hearts tomorrow

I think I'm gonna chill in here and mock the Cardinal announcers and players for a while

If you guys don’t mind

To Kill a Mockingbird!
Similar to a Friday afternoon game in May

against the Rockies?

Too bad that was the Rockies (less Holiday, Tulowitzki, Hawpe, etc). Not forseeing the same result today, however. Would be awesome if it was.

I'm just hoping Z is having a let down

game after his no-no and it’s not anything with his arm/shoulder.

INNING OVER

The Cards are toast

I think it's time to hit somebody. Let's add a fight to this mess.
Can Marshall throw a curve ball into the Cardinals dugout...

…and hit LaRussa?

Just what we need....

suspensions going into the playoffs.

Let's get some runs!
Just got here - Was Z trying to pitch left handed today?
He thought it was slow-pitch
pitched underhanded and outside
Suck it Aaron Miles

Sean Marshall is gonna dominate these clowns now

It's always darkest before the dawn.

Sun’s coming up, bitches.

Dark Knight reference

nice

Was it?

It was unintentional then.

That kicks ass, though.

Well

I have to go to work now, lets just say im sad im gonna be missing the big comeback. Make sure you guys come up with big overviews when I get back!

IMHO we have them where we want them

Think how crushed the deadbirds will be when Theriot hits a walk-off in the 9th with 2 outs.

Hey just got back from lunch

what did I miss…….. OH…. Shit…

The Cards definitely came in here and don't want the Cubbies to clinch the Division

while they’re in town. Hope the Brew Crew gets trounced and we comeback to win this one!

Z only pitched like this today to mess with the Astros
Ted Lilly told him

“You had yours. Tomorrow, they’re mine.”

Hmm

5 in the 1st, 3 in the 2nd…

They’ll be into negative numbers in 2 innings. We’ll win on technical balks alone!

Can we have a "do over" today?
No mulligans in baseball
Damn, there should be

we should get one do over per season in baseball.

I think we would have already used it

during Rich Hill’s start in St Louis.

Motion to move the rest of the game to Milwaukee?
Load up the buses!
So my dad just calls me freaking out

“SO Z I HURT? IS HE HURT?”

I wouldn't be opposed to shutting down Z until the playoffs

He obviously benefits from the extra rest. Pitch him a few innings next Saturday

I'll be at that game. :D
Naturally the Cardinals announcers are attracted to a player like Mike Fontenot

Nothing against Fontenot because I love the guy, but their love of scrappy bench players is a little over the top

they must be all over Theriot then... scraptastic
They love them some Theriot

If you are a mediocre middle infielder who hits lots of foul balls. They love you. If you are Alfonso Soriano, you have offended them somehow and must be mocked every chance possible.

Z will be fine and win his 15th next time out and then roll through the Series.

He was just overwhelmed with his no-no and dreaming of Johnny Vandameer. Now it’s time to come back to reality. Go Cubs, Go!

I know we can come back and win this game...

but I sure wish to hell we’d do it BEFORE the 9th inning today.

LOL

I think we’ve been spoiled

Sure SWL,8 runs is reachable for us. We've got the scrap twins in our lineup.
Another theory: Z likes the Miller Park mound and clubhouse

When he got back to Wrigley Field, his fragile psychology couldn’t handle it.

Yeah, maybe he was sending a subtle message...

…to the new Cubs owners that he wants a new stadium.

I was thinking the same thing. Miller is like a reverse kryptonite thing for Z. If

he gets to far from it, his power is drained.

Our demise is being predicted by the Cardinal announcers right now

Lou should be worried, we should be freaking out. According to them.

I mean this in the nicest way possible:

Fuck them.

I will continue to type every bs thing they say all day

So be prepared

Your fingers are bound to get tired.

Though, in fairness, they’re not the worst home team announcers I’ve ever heard. The lead guy, I mean. Hrabowsky (sp?) annoys me to no end.

The play by play guy does a lot of Mizzou games

He is good when you are on his side. Hrabowsky is just the worst

Agree on both points.
In Hrabowsky's defense

his nickname is/was “The Mad Hungarian” which is pretty cool. But that’s about the only thing he has going for him…

He's a real horse's ass. I am ashamed to admit it, but I lived in St. louis

for 10 years. (I know, I know). I met him on a couple of occasions and he acted like he was god’s gift and everyone else was shit. Not a nice individual.

Which one?
Hrabowsky. A real nasty guy. People were coming up to him him at a Hooter's asking for his autograph

and he was just ignoring them. I mean, he wasn’t exactly a superstar but he acted like a real primadonna.

I totally get that vibe.

Good riddance.

I guess the big - fish little - pond theory really applies there.
clearly they didn't watch yesterday's game
They are idiots
Just WALKED THE PITCHER
'Just' feels left out for not being in CAPS
Walking the pitcher is not a way to keep the other team from scoring...Baseball tip #7
Baseball is such a fickle game.
Please stop walking guys
Sometimes you get picled and sometimes the pickle gets you!
and sometimes you get just plain pickled!
I'm in...just say where
How was that not a strike?
Umpire is blind.
Another BB
That's on Blue, not Marshall.
This strike zone is interesting, to say the least

Z was pretty wild, but I do think he got hosed on a couple of calls.

Angel Guzman starts to warm
isn't this Howry time?
With an 8 run lead

Why wouldn’t this idiot be calling everything a strike?

Wind is still blowing out, right?

We are still in this.

of course, the Cards would get to hit in the same wind....
Gameday shows dead Center at 8 mph
I bet Marshall throws Pujols at least 2 strikes...
Man, this is a trainwreck.

Maybe Lou should bring in Randy Wells again to settle things down.

well… they didn’t score this inning. That’s a step forward.

ehh these games happen, maybe its a positive that z didnt go 6-7 innings, 100 pitches

let him rest, let some of the regulars rest for the game, maybe get dome some at bats

Sounds good to me.

Know how to get hold of Lou?

They do happen...

…but I guarantee the conspiracy theorists will be screaming.

ya normally id be that conspiracy theorist

but sometimes horrible blowouts happen, just come back tomorrow and take it to them, in the meantime Go Reds!

Yeah!

No runs given up this inning…it’s a start!

See we took care of Pujols no problem

They didn’t score for once.

Is it our turn to get runs yet?
Yes. lots of them too.
This is why it's a 162 game season.

It’s just one game and it’s not even over yet.

And just a week ago

we lost the first game of the series with the Cardinals.

+1,000,000

But man, has Carlos forgotten he used to own the Cards? Or if not outright own, he at least leased them with an option to own.

the housing bubble has popped.

significantly dropped value. He just doesn’t want to be AIG.

OK, comeback time. Seriously. LET'S GET SOME RUNS!!!
i'd be happy with 2-4 runs right now
Sure, a couple of runs in a couple of innings, and we're back in this

Someone’s going to go yard. I’m thinking JEdmonds, Fonzie and Rammy.

Time 2 put up a snowman (8)!
Tech guy is here

working on our satelitte and I just lost my picture. I’ll live through your comments for a short while.

He should have done that in the first inning
we'll take care of you, sue ;D
Reminds me of "The 'Burbs"

“This is Walter! AHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

GREAT MOVIE!

Whoa, jump a little higher Spud Webb

Sori

gets on first. e-6.

New thread

JUMP

May the next thread bring us runs.
I wanted to stick around and mock the Cardinals some more

But Im gonna start drinking some more and not stop until tomorrow night.
