It's now or never

for tonight boys!!!

a little 2 out magic perhaps?
there is only 1 out
may bad, I thought I typed a 1
Dear. God.

The Met’s announcers are comparing the black bat being hit with the ball with the black cat. Ridiculous.

A bit of a reach, no?
I am happy to have Pat
There's a single!
Am I the only one completely over the Hoff experiment?
No. It needs to die in the lab.
the Hoff experiment

was over in May.

But look at his Minor League #'s!
I wouldn't call it an experiment...

Called up when Fonzie was injured, hit .400
Sent back down after Fonzie back.
Called back up with expanded rosters.

Time for Hoff's first HR
And of course Blanco in Spanish means.....White

Classic Len

PR for Hank? Pie? Even Koyie Hill is faster...

….of course, so am I.

Come on Cubs!!!!
The natives are getting restless!
Man, they're sweating in Shea!
Oh, we Mets fans KNOW our bullpen is complete, complete, utter trash
we met fans?

Uh oh Schimfty! you’re gonna lose your street cred with stuff like that!

LOL, I think I've always said I'm a Mets fan?

Or maybe I only talked about the A’s part….

you've only said A's fan

I don’t know if I talk to anymore.

and you seemed so nice!! why did you have to go to the evil side?

Aww :( I'm sorry :(

My dad is from Flushing and eventually it rubbed off on me

its okay

i’ll just think of you as an A’s fan & our Harden expert and overlook the evil part.

:-P

Okay, works for me :) Sorry :(
I thought you were an A's fan?
Yeah that too! :)
Sorry for the really stupid question -

I thought I caught a glimpse of Harden in the dugout, and he had a goatee. Did anyone else see that? Or was I looking at someone else?

LOL

Schmifty with the Harden facial hair questions….

Hehe :)

I figured if anyone might know, it’d be you guys :)

(I’m just REALLY hoping I won’t have to see him in person with that stupid marmot on his face!!!)

This is exactly what we needed to do

Make them sweat

"Battling at bat"?

He took the bat off his shoulder once. Sheesh, Bob.

Koyie Hill
Jeez we really DO want the Mets to win.

A Ram etc on bench but Hill gets to pinch hit ?

I don't see anything like that on Stubhub

And the no way a potential Cubs/Mets game is at 1PM ( or so I think)

StubHub Says

Game 1 is 1:00 Wednesday afternoon. I’m sorry if this has been posted before.

WTF?

We get stuck with the day game? Guess it only makes sense. Wrigley during the day.

Meh

Even the majority of the players say they prefer night games, but whachya gonna do?

I don't think they don't assign TV slots until the matchups are set.
If that report is true

Im shocked that TBS would put the Cubs on during the day. That slot screams Rays-White Sox or Brewers-Phillies

exactly

I would think the powers that be would want Cubs in prime time if possible

I think the TV networks get a big say on the times. (If not all the say.)
Well every player I've heard

(usually interviewed on ESPN 1000) have said they respect what day baseball means to the Cubs but ultimately the would prefer more night games Rest, obviously being the motivating factor.

Does anyone know which is Koyie's better side of the plate?
Reyes still standing on third???

…just a friendly reminder.

Let’s make ’em pay!

NOOOOO

I’m jumping!

There's plenty of reasons not to

But, what the hell – enjoy yourself

Psych

It was one of the jumps over the cliff onto an extending rock just below.

can't win them all
We'll get 'em tomorrow.
They lost because you guys don't pray enough.
And because you touch yourself at night
KENT!

STOP TOUCHING YOURSELF, KENT!

Your parents are divorcing solely because of you.
They lost because I didn't make any predictions tonight...
speaking of

anyone seen preacher?

Not in a long time. He couldn't have lost faith in the NL's best team, could he?
im not able to join any game threads...

i have started school, i never miss a game though…just no access to my computer

you're missed

do well in school and take care!

QUICK QUESTION

So I’m looking at the Cubs schedule and noticed there was a picture of Darth Vader on Sept. 16. Anyone know what that was for??

I think it's just a stupid ad

every team has it

Video game

THANKS

I appreciate it. It was a mind-boggling experience amongst my friends.

He went to end the Brewers chance of winning the Central
these aren't the droids you're looking for.

you can go about your business.

move along.

Boston wins.

Yanks are eliminated.
Twins up 7-1 bottom 5.

What a strange feeling

I’m not even worried we lost.

Its strange

Tomorrow is important tho. Big Z needs to be good.

yeah
He can't be any

worse then his last outing can he? I think he’ll be fine tomorrow.

So do I

Just need to see it. If we have ace Big Z, we have a real fun October coming.

I'm not really worried about Z

he’s had a week to get his head and heart back together. That’ll help.

Don't get used to it. Next week we will all feel totally different.
a week from tomorrow
yeah

i’m not ready

well you better be by then
yeah

we’ll see

cubs post season baseball waits for no man (or woman)
oh i'll be watching

but my emotions are not ready.

thankfully i live in a small town, otherwise i may go all “ledgey”…

yeah I figure I wont be able to do game threads prolly
nothing to worry about.

We have home field advantage clinched. All that’s left is to play with our food and decide which is going to be the salad dish or the main course. The dessert, of course, is always a suprise.

Boston Cream Pie?
I love boston cream pie!
or maybe Angel Food cake.

And everyone loves Twins. :P

But definitely no nassssty sox. We hates them, yes we do, my precious…

it took me way too long to catch on to this thread

lol

I will be here tomorrow in spirit only. See you guys on Thursday!
see ya!

I hope to actually be able to make it through a game without a distraction! I haven’t truly just bummed around the game thread in WAY too long. :(

welp I am out, even though I was only here for probably 2 minutes

till tomorrow

I will add on

Met announcers, as mentioned above, of Gary Cohen of the Mets announcing team, must have stated the “black bat” and Black cat reference 3 times in the ninth and then in closing when the game was over.
 Want nothing more for “Z” and Harden shut them down. Jeez guys find something else to say. How about Marshall walking Castillo then having to face Wright, that was the play of the game.

Jon Kruk lashed out at Sean Marshall on Baseball Tonight.

His argument was that Marshall quit after Johan Santana hit the fluke single. I disagree because Marshall struck out the next batter. The fact that Marshall raised his arm in disbelief after Santana’s broken bat hit the ball in play doesn’t mean Marshall quit, whined or felt sorry for himself, but Kruk interpreted it that way.

Anyone agrees with Kruk?

wasn't he the one who said in 05 Randy Johnson would win 30 games?

so if I agree with Kruk: ah, no..
