Forgot to tell him to " get nice and sharp and pitch well for us " IN APRIL. So Lou fans please EXPLAIN this INSANITY. Does Howry really have something on Lou or is he just blinded by stats from LAST year. How do you keep a guy who has pitched bad ALL YEAR on your post season roster. I know because he is a “vet” and Lou " trusts" him. This is the kind of thing that TERRIFIES me re post season but if it terrifies our starters enough they will all go 7 plus and keep Lou from making a SINGLE bullpen decision as he will just go on automatic to Marmol and Wood in the 8th and 9th.
If it had kept Howry OFF the roster my 3 hours in the rain would have been well worth it but I guess he has to fall in a dumpster
and injure himself to get off the roster.
In my selfish little world. We win and the Mets lose tonight. Mets win tomorrow, Sheets isn’t 100% and we win again. Brewers are desperate, use CC for 130 pitches or so to get the complete game on Sunday, but they win. Mets collapse again to tie the WC again forcing the tie breaker. Mets win that in an epic extra innings game. Then they can come here for their beat down.
But that’s just me
never, ever, ever. But on this particular play, I’m not sure anybody else would’ve got to it faster. On the other hand, he missed the cutoff by about 4ft. But, moot point by now, I guess.
What if Marquis thanked Lou for allowing him to be on a postseason roster by pitching his ass off. And Howry seeing that gets inspired and brings out the second pitch he’s been working on all season?
you know it was a good response pointing out the absurdity of the original. by saying what you did, you’re implying that I deserve everything that I said. . .
First!

Or the internet? Do I have to pay for it
SouthsideCUBSfan - September 26, 2008
internet, and no, I don't think so
look on the main page
daily2b - September 26, 2008
i'll find a link for you if you'd like...it might be a brewers broadcast though
aznsensation - September 26, 2008
I don't know if this was mentioned in the Pre-game thread
But bob howry is on the postseason roster.
http://chicago.cubs.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20080926&content_id=3554007&vkey=news_chc&fext=.jsp&c_id=chc

cubsfaninatl - September 26, 2008
crap
daily2b - September 26, 2008
How in heaven's sake that can be? What has he done to earn that?
zevkalman - September 26, 2008
Dammit
One time where I didn’t want to be right
Shanghai Badger - September 26, 2008
Yeah, That'll Work
08Cubs - September 26, 2008
Did Lou also tell Bob to grow wings?
zevkalman - September 26, 2008
and balls?
Emelie - September 26, 2008
Holy schneikies
Em’s feisty tonight!
Shanghai Badger - September 26, 2008
When was the meeting THIS MORNING ?
Forgot to tell him to " get nice and sharp and pitch well for us " IN APRIL. So Lou fans please EXPLAIN this INSANITY.

Doggie Stalker - September 26, 2008
Gotta agree with you on this one
Shanghai Badger - September 26, 2008
Plus this makes yesterday's loss meaningless
If it had kept Howry OFF the roster my 3 hours in the rain would have been well worth it but I guess he has to fall in a dumpster
and injure himself to get off the roster.
Doggie Stalker - September 26, 2008
I'm going to get my buddies Kramer and Newman
We’ll kidnap Howry and release him out into the country.
There he’ll be dancing and prancing……
salparadise23 - September 26, 2008
heart attack city
Emelie - September 26, 2008
Mets trail 2-0 after 3
They’ve gotten 7 baserunners already
Shanghai Badger - September 26, 2008
What I'd like
In my selfish little world. We win and the Mets lose tonight. Mets win tomorrow, Sheets isn’t 100% and we win again. Brewers are desperate, use CC for 130 pitches or so to get the complete game on Sunday, but they win. Mets collapse again to tie the WC again forcing the tie breaker. Mets win that in an epic extra innings game. Then they can come here for their beat down.
But that’s just me
chitownhawkeye - September 26, 2008
of the 3 mil...
how many were Cub fans?
daily2b - September 26, 2008
Glad to be home after over 5 hrs on the runway at JFK...
Go Cubs…kick some butt!!
LAcarl519 - September 26, 2008
But it is a NICE runway.
Doggie Stalker - September 26, 2008
it is never a nice runway when you spend 5+ hours on it
LAcarl519 - September 26, 2008
Which runway was it?
Shanghai Badger - September 26, 2008
Welcome to Wrigley North!
zevkalman - September 26, 2008
sounds like lots of Cub fans there again!
LAcarl519 - September 26, 2008
and plenty of Brewer fans booing the Cubs just because they're Cubs
Shanghai Badger - September 26, 2008
...and what else is new?
zevkalman - September 26, 2008
then they wonder why
Al refers to them as little brothers
Shanghai Badger - September 26, 2008
it is their town.
where else are they (Brewer fans) going to park the RVs?
LAcarl519 - September 26, 2008
Mequon?
Shanghai Badger - September 26, 2008
thanks
mind if I just look around a bit?
daily2b - September 26, 2008
Sure, think of it as your home away from home :-)
zevkalman - September 26, 2008
it's growng on me already
daily2b - September 26, 2008
is there a prison in Mequon?
LAcarl519 - September 26, 2008
The big one is in Waupaun
I doubt there is one in Mequon. One not too far from me in Racine.
Shanghai Badger - September 26, 2008
wow
braun sux
daily2b - September 26, 2008
Suppan not fooling anyone
MikeOxbyg - September 26, 2008
Does he ever?
SgtClueLs - September 26, 2008
Good
We could use some batting practice
chitownhawkeye - September 26, 2008
Meaningless stat #1
Braun hasn’t made an error yet this year.
Also Blanco hasn’t been caught stealing
JPetey - September 26, 2008
not quiiite the same, but
I get your point
Shanghai Badger - September 26, 2008
Steve Phillips was making that point about Braun
he sure knows his baseball…
JPetey - September 26, 2008
you know...
he was once a GM
daily2b - September 26, 2008
::Shivers::
JPetey - September 26, 2008
It's ok, now
reason rules the land, once again
daily2b - September 26, 2008
Last thurs bottom of 9th should have been an E
MikeOxbyg - September 26, 2008
Sh*t, Hoff scalded that one.
zevkalman - September 26, 2008
If they keep hitting them like that
They’ll score plenty
Shanghai Badger - September 26, 2008
LightTowerHoffPower
daily2b - September 26, 2008
Just fried my brand new laptop
spilled a glass of water on it. Now… no go. Crap. And what’s with that fabulous Brewers catch?
Emelie - September 26, 2008
I blame your cat
Shanghai Badger - September 26, 2008
I blame Bud Selig.
zevkalman - September 26, 2008
easy. LaTroy
daily2b - September 26, 2008
lol! wish I could
he would have chewed it to death if that were the case
Emelie - September 26, 2008
He could knock over a glass
Shanghai Badger - September 26, 2008
K
MikeOxbyg - September 26, 2008
GO TRIBE
The Original Dave - September 26, 2008
Derek - Ole!
MOCubsfan - September 26, 2008
Is anyone else getting the Brewers feed on MLB.TV's "away feed"?
DeRoMyHero - September 26, 2008
I'm watching them on TV
No choice in Racine
Shanghai Badger - September 26, 2008
didn't it give you the option to choose?
MOCubsfan - September 26, 2008
oh... I see
you did choose away
MOCubsfan - September 26, 2008
ah
and now I understand the question
Shanghai Badger - September 26, 2008
HAHAHAHA
Brewer telecast just ran October commercial, featuring:
THE CHICAGO CUBS!
Shanghai Badger - September 26, 2008
thats funny
Madison Cub Fan - September 26, 2008
Hiya chickie
Shanghai Badger - September 26, 2008
hiya :)
thought you were going to the game
Madison Cub Fan - September 26, 2008
My buddy was bidding on ebay
When they went to face value, we said the hell with it
Shanghai Badger - September 26, 2008
Len and Bob!!!!!!!
It only took them one inning to figure out the meaning of “away”!!!!!!!
I can’t work for MLB Advanced Media, because I’m too educated…
DeRoMyHero - September 26, 2008
ok
now I am against the maple bats
daily2b - September 26, 2008
2b play feed?
daily2b - September 26, 2008
was ok
ball was hit too slowly to turn 2
Shanghai Badger - September 26, 2008
iwas referring to the fact there was
2 outs when Phillips made that comment
daily2b - September 26, 2008
ah. ESPN blacked out here
Shanghai Badger - September 26, 2008
i noticed that too
this guy is just amazing.
JPetey - September 26, 2008
I don't like this AB by Fielder
cubsfaninatl - September 26, 2008
Fatso goes quietly
LAcarl519 - September 26, 2008
no need to start the name calling
he is a good ball player
JPetey - September 26, 2008
he does make
a great dartboard target…
daily2b - September 26, 2008
he is a slob and he is the enemy
However, I will refrain from the term about weight if that offends you.
But, he will have a short career carrying that much weight long-term.
LAcarl519 - September 26, 2008
very true
i cant disagree with the slob or weight issues comments
JPetey - September 26, 2008
Am I the only one
who selfishly wants to really win this game. By a lot?
Villeslgr - September 26, 2008
no
daily2b - September 26, 2008
thank you i was starting to really hate myself
Villeslgr - September 26, 2008
no
I have friends that are Brewer fans and I want the Cubs to win
Shanghai Badger - September 26, 2008
AGREED
MikeOxbyg - September 26, 2008
Nasty choice: Brewers TV announcers or Steve Phillips...
DeRoMyHero - September 26, 2008
Is death an option?
cubsfaninatl - September 26, 2008
They aren't the worst ever
They can be objective. Schroeder whines a bit and Anderson thinks every fly ball is a HR, though
Shanghai Badger - September 26, 2008
I like Steve Phillips on BBTN.
He gives viewers an idea of what GMs have to do to make a trade, etc. Game analyst, not so much…
DeRoMyHero - September 26, 2008
Ding!
Go Edmonds!
znohitter - September 26, 2008
EDMONDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Galvan316 - September 26, 2008
Jimmy Ballgame!
Shanghai Badger - September 26, 2008
J-ed hr !!!!
cubsfaninatl - September 26, 2008
edmonds!
MikeOxbyg - September 26, 2008
Jimmy BAllgame!
MOCubsfan - September 26, 2008
Edmonds...yes!
LAcarl519 - September 26, 2008
Six 20 HR guys!!!!
DeRoMyHero - September 26, 2008
Hey CC
Step away from the snacks.
Edmonds!
08Cubs - September 26, 2008
who's house?
OUR HOUSE!!!
drewishdrewid - September 26, 2008
James Effin' Edmonds!!!
I wish Len and Bob would call home runs like that.
The Original Dave - September 26, 2008
Edmonds, Nice tuneup for the playoffs
vonde6 - September 26, 2008
Need him to step it up
break out of his slump
JPetey - September 26, 2008
Wow that was a really good attempt at a sell.
cubsfaninatl - September 26, 2008
so when did Cub broadcasts finally get into the
modern era and start using a K-zone? I like.
LAcarl519 - September 26, 2008
Suppan getting hit hard
music to my ears
MOCubsfan - September 26, 2008
we have similar
tastes in music
daily2b - September 26, 2008
19 sac bunts by demp
nice
JPetey - September 26, 2008
site slow
foe anybody else?
daily2b - September 26, 2008
for
daily2b - September 26, 2008
No, just seems like no one is here
MikeOxbyg - September 26, 2008
yeah, I'm only checking sporadically.
Seems quiet. Of course, it is Friday and the Cubs seeding is locked.
Shanghai Badger - September 26, 2008
you do have that debate starting soon too
LAcarl519 - September 26, 2008
true. I might DVR that, actually
good reminder
Shanghai Badger - September 26, 2008
debate?
McCain’s gonna show?
MOCubsfan - September 26, 2008
his body is going to be there anway
JPetey - September 26, 2008
did mccain decide to show up?
aznsensation - September 26, 2008
yes
JPetey - September 26, 2008
Yes
Villeslgr - September 26, 2008
Yeah he is. He was just playing politcs all along.
Villeslgr - September 26, 2008
that douche fag....
aznsensation - September 26, 2008
not a good idea
on more than one level
Shanghai Badger - September 26, 2008
you beat me to it
Madison Cub Fan - September 26, 2008
TWSS
Shanghai Badger - September 26, 2008
how is that twss?
btw your email got bounced back telling me bad email addy
Madison Cub Fan - September 26, 2008
You can't figure that one out?
Not sure what’s up w/the e-mail. Try resending
Shanghai Badger - September 26, 2008
no... why would she say that? n/m
the question was answered on bcb today so the email not a big deal
Madison Cub Fan - September 26, 2008
"you beat me to it"
I would think EVERY woman would say that that was indeed what she said. Think about it . . .
Re: e-mail — just curious if you can get an email thru
Shanghai Badger - September 26, 2008
K i'll try and send another one
Madison Cub Fan - September 26, 2008
sorry...i hate politics...it's all about who's gonna get the most votes by manipulating the people best
aznsensation - September 26, 2008
understandable
but the namecalling doesn’t go over well here, and this isn’t the place for the politics
no harm, no foul — but let’s not go down that road
Shanghai Badger - September 26, 2008
your have a right to an opinion.... vulgur or not
but this is a baseball board.
Madison Cub Fan - September 26, 2008
I mean i was just thinking he was a politician, but i won’t deny you your right to your opinion.
Villeslgr - September 26, 2008
i was respons to az
Madison Cub Fan - September 26, 2008
No prob so was I
Villeslgr - September 26, 2008
it is a little laggy....but it's friday night and this game is of no consequence
aznsensation - September 26, 2008
lotta pitches for Soup's-On?
LAcarl519 - September 26, 2008
34 -- not terrible
Shanghai Badger - September 26, 2008
manny has been pretty nasty in LA
Villeslgr - September 26, 2008
back to the game...
2 outs, Kendall up
LAcarl519 - September 26, 2008
Wow
Kendall with the rbi 2b, 1-1
cubsfaninatl - September 26, 2008
tie game on a double to left field
aznsensation - September 26, 2008
With a little help from Soriano on both hits
Shanghai Badger - September 26, 2008
+1
daily2b - September 26, 2008
He wouldn't had caught the Kendall hit
but I agree on the first one.
chilango2 - September 26, 2008
He wouldn't have caught it
But he took a long time to get to it and throw it
Shanghai Badger - September 26, 2008
I will NEVER defend Soriano
never, ever, ever. But on this particular play, I’m not sure anybody else would’ve got to it faster. On the other hand, he missed the cutoff by about 4ft. But, moot point by now, I guess.
chilango2 - September 26, 2008
Maybe I'm piling on with the second one
Shanghai Badger - September 26, 2008
anybody else psyched
about having Z or Harden go 3rd? who else can match up w/ us there?
daily2b - September 26, 2008
Kendall? Dangit
Villeslgr - September 26, 2008
Harden is 3rd
Villeslgr - September 26, 2008
yes and lilly will be our 4....and yes i'm psyched
aznsensation - September 26, 2008
that's a win
Brewers, Dodgers, Phils, Mets…doesn’t matter!
daily2b - September 26, 2008
What if Marquis thanked Lou for allowing him to be on a postseason roster by pitching his ass off. And Howry seeing that gets inspired and brings out the second pitch he’s been working on all season?
Villeslgr - September 26, 2008
what if
we all had jet-packs?!!
daily2b - September 26, 2008
What if my grandma had wheels?
She’d be a bike.
chilango2 - September 26, 2008
that would rock!!
daily2b - September 26, 2008
and fly across the english channel
MikeOxbyg - September 26, 2008
heard that Chunnel
is pretty backed-up
daily2b - September 26, 2008
That’d be awesome!! As long as you could avoid the evil pinching clouds.
Villeslgr - September 26, 2008
What if I won Powerball
And a 25-year old blonde rocket scientist with a perfect body fell madly in love with me?
Shanghai Badger - September 26, 2008
you'd have a new
BFF
daily2b - September 26, 2008
there so many things wrong w/ that post. where do i even began to mock it?
Madison Cub Fan - September 26, 2008
oh, please
you know it was a good response pointing out the absurdity of the original. by saying what you did, you’re implying that I deserve everything that I said. . .
Shanghai Badger - September 26, 2008
unless that's what you meant
In that case, Thanks!
Shanghai Badger - September 26, 2008
No good post, just the mere chance you could get ANY of them.... so much for me to mock
Madison Cub Fan - September 26, 2008
you failed
Shanghai Badger - September 26, 2008
You’d be me!! Just not with all that stuff you said.
Villeslgr - September 26, 2008
good luck...I'm cheering for you!
LAcarl519 - September 26, 2008
thanks!
I’ll host a WS rooftop party for everyone in this thread if that happens!!
Shanghai Badger - September 26, 2008
OT: I’m not excited my Cards haven’t scored on UConn.
Villeslgr - September 26, 2008
Time for a Suppon beat down
LAcarl519 - September 26, 2008
hey look!
Schotz Brewery….doing it the Cubs way!
MOCubsfan - September 26, 2008
Playoff Roster
Is the full playoff roster out, or are we just going to build the team around Howry.
sweetswinger - September 26, 2008
We all ready built the team around Howry. Everyone else is just now comfortable with their roles.
Villeslgr - September 26, 2008
another Scrappy single

Obviously he isn’t one of the 5 on the board right now
Villeslgr - September 26, 2008
lol
Shanghai Badger - September 26, 2008
just sent email
Madison Cub Fan - September 26, 2008

Shanghai Badger - September 26, 2008

Madison Cub Fan - September 26, 2008
Strange. All i got was “How the heck did Howry make the roster? He better not be in my room.”
Villeslgr - September 26, 2008

I keed…hi maddy and badger!

Jason is telling Lee how he tricked Lou into putting him on the roster.
Villeslgr - September 26, 2008
crud!
is this piece of meat settling in?
daily2b - September 26, 2008
Lee and Rami's expanded zones didn't help
Neither did Sori’s in the 2nd
Shanghai Badger - September 26, 2008
C'mon, Hoff!
ScottieG33 - September 26, 2008

Ok, but next time, say it with conviction!

It was my first time…………
Villeslgr - September 26, 2008
TWSS!!!
daily2b - September 26, 2008

That’s how it’s done
Shanghai Badger - September 26, 2008
I'd like to thank the Acadamy...
daily2b - September 26, 2008
you'll notice, though
that I set another one up
Shanghai Badger - September 26, 2008
TWSS overuse fou!
MikeOxbyg - September 26, 2008
No. Not so much.
ScottieG33 - September 26, 2008

Ryan Braun: “I think I can, I think I can.”
Villeslgr - September 26, 2008
I'm getting awfully tired
of Cubs pitchers walking people. I think Lou would be too, by now.
MOCubsfan - September 26, 2008
Never like the lead-off walk (unless it is FOR the Cubs)
LAcarl519 - September 26, 2008
Nice DP!
