Bleed Cubbie Blue

WGN should be fined

by the FCC for showing that moron in front of Wrigley screeching

+1

I am still trying to figure out what that was about

Looks like a full house in here tonight, back to normal

dtpollitt - September 2, 2008 reply

Lets get a win

To make everythng “be back to normal” :)

lets go

This Astros lineup scares me.... NOT

We should dominate these punks

C'mon Z wake up that arm...

92... I like I like

95 on that last one

from WGN’s gun.

halfblindcubbiegirl - September 2, 2008 reply

How about a win tonight?

How about an XBH?

That would be a fantastic start.

halfblindcubbiegirl - September 2, 2008 reply

Better yet

a Home Run??

but the Ass-tros are batting...

By the Cubs

tonight.

I know.

I just wanted to clarify. Let’s not throw any good wishes to the ’stros by omission.

I’m being silly!!

GO CUBS—SCORE NOW!!!

More than zero runs would be nice.

:-)

halfblindcubbiegirl - September 2, 2008 reply

Amen!

want fries with that?

And here we go!

Carols takes a knee, prays, then flips the bird into the Strohs dugout

velocity

looks good

Right away a good sign

92, 94, 95…

Lets go Z!!

z needs

a 1 2 3….poet and i don’t know it

1 down

nice catch Jimmy!

He's not washed up yet

jimmy gameday

Yikes that one scared me for a second

nice catch

for Jimmy Baseball.

Feels good to be

Back at home watching this on my TV and not be at work

we're glad you

could join us tonight.

let's go, Cubbies, let's go!

did he ask to see the ball?

go Z!

I like jimmy ballgame

and Jimmy Ballgame

likes you!

jimmy likes elaine

is Jimmy Ballgame

referring to himself as Jimmy Ballgame again?

are there any haters left?

2 down

get up crowd!

the crowd...

…didn’t get up until the 9th yesterday.

I was embarassed.

SIT DOWN!!!

2 AWAY

K for Z

I'm still uncertain about this

I feel as if it should be reserved for Rich.

dtpollitt - September 2, 2008 reply

no one else gets Ks?

cmon…. share the love… :D

He still has a crown :)

You want the "Fat Z" pic from mlb.com to go next to your K-bar?

sure!

Here ya go - scale accordingly

leave me alone i'm starving!

I love Carlos when he's on a mission

yay for it being september finally.

halfblindcubbiegirl - September 2, 2008 reply

me too!

Zeptember...

lol

halfblindcubbiegirl - September 2, 2008 reply

3 down

Three!

alright!

atta boy Z

Now that is the Carlos Zambrano that I know and love

Good start Big Z

Pinella is a genious

Not only did Z get some extra time off but so did Harden.

And while I dont often give him Credit Marquis pitched decently yesterday.

I think Harden is going to be the key to us down the stretch

And w/ the streak

Marmol & Woody got a few days off too.

Losing games sucks, but it got all the big boys in the pen some innings off.

halfblindcubbiegirl - September 2, 2008 reply

Right

and we didnt lose too much to Milwaukee either.

So all in all we’ve seen worse

Maybe we should give Lou

an honorary PhD here at BCB U?

dtpollitt - September 2, 2008 reply

We'll let MDB do the honors

How many pitches was that, 10?

13

1 2 3 mets go down in order to start the game

lets take some pitches today cubs

Let's take some

…out of the yard!

Final score tonight 20-1.

Bad air quality

halfblindcubbiegirl - September 2, 2008 reply

dero my hero…..what do ya think?

Isn't there already a guy w/ that?

Darn the sarcasm sign being broken!

halfblindcubbiegirl - September 2, 2008 reply

If by guy you mean girl, then sure.

She's a girl I believe...

My bad.

halfblindcubbiegirl - September 2, 2008 reply

I think

deromyhero would kick your ass. :D

That other one always confuses me.

chitownhawkeye - September 2, 2008 reply

This is the team we've been looking for

pour it on guys…pour it on

Well this ought to end the Hoffpauir talk...

…for at least an inning.

not just yet

i like hoff.....all the guy does is rake

And K.

You forgot “K.”

In AAA

Blah. Blah. Blah.

hoff. hoff. hoff.

halfblindcubbiegirl - September 2, 2008 reply

DERO

Let’s do this!

VegasCubFan - September 2, 2008 reply

BALL 4!

walk...bases loaded for

jimmy ballgame wit only 1 down!

Edmonds time

Now would be a good time to break his slump

+4

its just strategy

Your bases are clogged with Cubs

its been awhile

hope we don't leave 'em there

way too long

indeed

Cub's Paperboy - September 2, 2008 reply

Jimmy Ballgame

looking for something to drive, hopefully out of the Confines…

z had only 13 pitches in the first by the way

I forgot we're still in the first...geez

Long inning.

Edmonds trying too hard on those first two pitches

C'mon Jimmy!!

halfblindcubbiegirl - September 2, 2008 reply

what's a grand slam look like?

gold

nice take

1-2 Edmonds...focus!

mets got out of a big inning

Jim-MAY... c'mon!

Lets! Go! Jimmy!

good AB so far

5 pitches

Sheffield calling

Lake Michigan is calling

:)

don't answer

he’s a jerk

Great line from Brenly.

halfblindcubbiegirl - September 2, 2008 reply

got a big guffaw from me

haha

see above post

ugh

bb is reminding me why i can’t stand him

BB is great

what are you talking about!?!?!

i do not like BB

what so ever…..i pray someone signs him this offseason

you are in a distinct minority

I love L&B

I think they’re by far the best duo in baeball.

halfblindcubbiegirl - September 2, 2008 reply

i like len a lot

BB hasn’t convinced me he’s a cub

He doesnt' have to be a cub.

halfblindcubbiegirl - September 2, 2008 reply

for ME he does

Why?

(I’m not trying to be difficult, but seriously? He needs to be a homer for you to like him?)

halfblindcubbiegirl - September 2, 2008 reply

no but he loves the dbacks

and the cubs gig is just a job for him, he’s not a true fan

I guess we'll agree to disagree on that

b/c i’ve gotten NOTHING like that from him… but whatever.

halfblindcubbiegirl - September 2, 2008 reply

+1 I don't remember him talking Dbacks at all

i hope you're kidding

no.

when we play the d bags yeah, he’ll mention them, and he lives in Arizona so he likes it out there… but really. I think you’re overreacting.

halfblindcubbiegirl - September 2, 2008 reply

you're crazy

len encourages it….but he always talks about the dbacks playoff run

always?

whatever.

halfblindcubbiegirl - September 2, 2008 reply

Use of "whatever" as a response

Usually indicates you lose the argument.

feh

No.

it was an attempt to quit talking about it b/c i don’t agree and don’t want to fight about it.

halfblindcubbiegirl - September 2, 2008 reply

don't get sassy with me!

I agree with you.

i know i'm the odd ball

i should have just not started lol

Here, I'll help deflect attention

I don’t like Ron santo as a radio announcer.

mmmmmm

ron santo

+1

Best we’ve had here in awhile..

stone and chip are my all time faves

Agree

I like those guys a lot.

Never a fan of Chip...

Too glib for my taste…

we have definitely had this convo before

Think so...

at least once..

that's the only other time

glib has EVER been used on bcb

i know

i’ve been through this before…..can’t stand his dback stories

I like Len, I like Bob

I don’t like them together.

...7 pitches

grinding...

I hope when I'm as old as Jimmay

That I have hair as good as his.

and his hair was perfect

This is a good fight

8 pitches

30 pitches in first 1/3 of inning

per Pat Hughes

...9 pitches!

Wacke Backe...now!

jimmy is sweating

Fantasy Baseball Playoffs

I’m playing against Z.

And I have Parra and Wainwright going for my team tonight. Ugh, how the F did that happen?

Cub's Paperboy - September 2, 2008 reply

Way to hang in there for a big

mistake at 30 pitches in the 1st

Nice to see the crowd up and into it

it was quiet yesterday.

halfblindcubbiegirl - September 2, 2008 reply

wow

not good

Jimmy, no

Of all the lucky F'ing things that could of happened

Damn

that sure was anticlimactic

TWSS

Harshing the mellow

:(

well heck

that’s about the worst possible result.

Oh, well. 30+ pitches. We’ll get to him again.

at this rate, the guy will go 3-4 innings

mets got a lil rally going

1-1

I hate that team from New York except when they are playing that team from Milwaukee

good first inning

none the less

Mets tie the brewers 1-1

4 for his last 37 now...

Kansas25 - September 2, 2008 reply

1-1 tatis double ties it..2nd and 3rd no outs

too many LOB recently...

…really is bothersome

Yeah but still a victory

Lots of pitches thrown. High stress inning. A run.

Hopefully get to the bullpen early and wear them out.

You would rather they go down in order?

1 down groundout for berkman

Got a quick question

why is fontenot referred to as LBR on here?

Little Babe Ruth

Hits like a little babe Ruth!

little babe ruth

believe Santo came up with it

little babe ruth

AndHart120 - September 2, 2008 reply

Ron Santo calls him Little Babe Ruth.

I call him the Wonder Hamster, myself.

little brown rabbit

Santo calls him Little Babe Ruth

For all your “Why are these guys weird?” questions.

Nice!

MEts take the 2-1 lead

DAMN CUBS!

Im missing 90210 like OMG! WTF! OMG! OMG! OMG!

Dude, just DVR it

he doesn't have his sarcasm sign blinking

YEAH

where is that thing…

broken.

halfblindcubbiegirl - September 2, 2008 reply

Not as flashy, but...

Go buy the Dvds

No no no.

The NEW 90210, on the CW!

that swingin' station

I gave up on them when they cancelled Veronica Mars.

I gave up

When smallville took a huge nosedive Season 3

My point still stands

The original is probably better. But neither are any good.

I have a friend who is planning on watching that tonight..........

I mocked her severely

We talking Golden Girls at the breakfast table bad...

…or the locker room scene in Carrie bad?

Golden Girls att breakfast table bad......

Had to compromise with the fiance on that one...

have to dvr it, cancel The First 48. But I get the Cubs on the good TV

walk

hi my name is hunter pence

i like _ _ _ _

to eat my insect prey

to eat my own boogers?

boys?

bingo!

but for the sake of being unoffensive we will go with corn. the answer is corn

quiche

okay z

don’t let this get to you, you’re EFFING fine

Wow, the breaks are all against us so far today

we're

winning, 1-0, they’re not.

ugh

he looks like he’s losing it

z....you.....are....FINE

It was a ground ball that took an unfortunate bounce.

That ball keeps going straight, Fontenot gets it and the inning’s probably over now with no damage.

i know

i’m talking about z’s mentality……he looked like the inning was getting to him for no reason

No we're not

relax people

There'snothingunrelaxedaboutthispost!

alliwassayingisthatdrew’spointwasn’ttrueanymorec’mon,doilookunrelaxed?!

it's ...

the second inning

We are 0-2 in the "luck" department

crowd quiet again

Did that hit Z?

yep.

One more out Z.

C’mon buddy.

halfblindcubbiegirl - September 2, 2008 reply

There we go.

halfblindcubbiegirl - September 2, 2008 reply

Let's get a

shitload of runs!!!

Is that more than an assload?

Damned metric system

I prefer the term "metric f---load."

lol

chitownhawkeye - September 2, 2008 reply

Something like

3 hogsheads to a f—-load, if I remember my old english units correctly

I was told there would be

no math?

I think by now you should have realized that's a lie.

Wow. Never heard Sue use that word before.... :-)

We might want to put some of the all Chicago world series talk on ice for right now

Our “friends” to the South are down 4-0 while the Twins are up 5-1

I think I smell a certain somebody coming to post soon

Bring it

Im only telling the truth.

If he cant handle it well…… I guess it sucks for him

LOL The man is on a mission to prove something that nobody really cares about

Gotta love it

Go Twinkies!

+1

Theres another Twins

fan in here besides me?

I've adopted them as my AL team

Since I’ve lived in MN for a few years.

All my friends are Twins fans so I get to hear about it.

where you livin?

I am in Plymouth, about 15 minutes from the big inflatable toilet

I'm in Eden Prairie

Just moved here from Eagan

i'm always a fan of whoever plays the chisox

No, but I'm generally for anyone that pisses Dr. Crawdad off.

hee!

lol

in that case

anyone = just about everyone.

In that case

We should be really good friends heh

let's get a big crooked #.

show that the first inning was not a fluke.

GO CUBS.

OT: It always amazes me that as soon as it turns September 1

the day goes dark at like 6:45 pm… seems like two days ago it was 7:45

thats crazy, isn't it?

halfblindcubbiegirl - September 2, 2008 reply

crown noise - we need crowd noise

32 pitches for z through 2

36 pitches already for Backe

Geo!

I heared he drives one also

He won't be next year

Two maybe

At the same time?

The Geo Metro is straight pimpin', I don't care what anyone says.

Patience, Riot

Let’s get a couple on in front of the big hitter

wow

Tejada

nice play.

halfblindcubbiegirl - September 2, 2008 reply

that was a good Stro play dangit

miggi

is quickly becoming a cub killa

6, 4, 3

wow

that was slick. and lucky.

Tejada makes me a little ill....but at least we have Theriot :-)

Freaking Tejada

This luck is gonna even out as the game goes on

Is Tejada considered scrappy?

A pin cushion, maybe

Can we get him?

voodoo!

That you do

So well!

Yes

Makes me want to shoop!

No, Bob, the Astros do NOT have the best defense in the majors.

No, no, no.

They've made the least errors

I know thats NOT how you should measure defense, but that doesn’t stop people from doing it.

halfblindcubbiegirl - September 2, 2008 reply

The funny part is how that's generally a sign of a mediocre team defense...

…because it means they don’t make all that many plays to begin with.

You know that. I know that

but the “experts” still like to use E’s as a measuring stick…

Brewer fans are still touting Braun for the Gold Glove.

halfblindcubbiegirl - September 2, 2008 reply

Luck?

That my friend was skill. He can flat out play.

Jayo525 - September 2, 2008 reply

Tejada's best years are behind him.

He’s probably better suited to playing third at this point.

I thought he'd be at 3rd by now...

but still has the chops for SS evidently..

I doubt that the Cubs players

made it up to New Trier today :)

i can't get the image of fat elvis

running off the field like a girl (sorry girls) during the lightening storm

I don't mind it being used......

most of the time when a guy uses it, he tends to run like one himself. so I figure it all evens out.

good inning.

1-2-3!

Ok another solid inning from Z

Time to score. Don’t hit the ball to Tejada just to be safe

That was almost a scrapy trip over second base

Show us what you got Cubs!!

43 through 3

I hate it

when I have to root for the Mets (but enjoying the Mets announcers saying how the Breswers are a bad a defensive team.

Beltran just hit a 3-run dinger. 5-1 Mets!

sweetswinger - September 2, 2008 reply

nice

Mets are now leading 5-1

Go that team from New York

ok guys

let’s hit it somewhere else.

MOCubsfan - September 2, 2008 reply

I hear that Panske kid knows how to drop baseballs

How ’bout there?

Windex that Harry Carry sign much?
