Fashionably Late...

and apparently early.

lets finish these dudes
Damn!

Not yet, at least win one game before going south again!

The Shark

had no bite tonight…

D Lee’s error didn’t help much

I hope that this doesn’t mean that our 7th straight loss is going to be a major choke job.

wow.

you’re a bundle of sunshine.

Are we watching two different games?
Focus, focus...

I think they drifted a bit with that 10 run lead…

I think Cotts

can get one more out with this lead…

2 outs. Top of the order coming up for the Reds.
unbelievable

Just 10 minutes ago, the Reds needed 2 runs per out to tie the game

NOW THEY ONLY NEED 1 per

Misread Gameday...

thought the Cubs gave up a 5th run in that inning.

ok so back to 2R per O.

I guess we can just call the 8th a fluke…right?

3 outs. Cubs coming up in the 9th

Cubs 11 — Reds 5

Get Marmol some work
When was the last time Woody pitched?
Right you are

Marmol is up & throwing…

Which is better than throwing up...
LOL

that would be us for the last six games…

"Throwing up Fastballs"

Best line of the night…

…although throwing up runs was more like it.

DeRo F7. One out.
D Ward to PH
Swings at first pitch. FO9. Two out.
Ronny C. singles. Two on. Two out.
Riot walks. Loaded for D-Lee.
Lee Singles In Two!
D-Lee singles. Two runs score. Cubs 13-5
is it just me

or has the strike zone moved way outside for D Lee.

Doesn’t matter; 2R double!

Yep. About three months ago...
Hampster singles. 14-5 Cubs!
take that you red dillweeds
Scrappy Scrappington!!!
where's the hampster pic????
Gettin' some of those back...

these bats are en fuego ahora!

14 runs is a season high
14 is the high for what Cincy has given up this year.

Cory corrected Pat on that

19 runs is a Cub season high
001 113 323 ~ 14-18-1

Veddy nice…

No, it isn't.

19 runs vs. Milwaukee on April 30.

I stand corrected. Pat said it on the broadcast which Cory then corrected.

I apparently missed the correction due to a very loud cricket chirping in my garage.

I don't have a garage.
Jose Cardenal

Once said he couldn’t play because of “creekus”. As in “creekus kept me up all night chirping”.

Run Differential

Now at +181

Time for some

celebratory bratwurst! Yummy!

alright!

let’s make this quick and easy!

Too easy
TNWHS
erm....whats the "N"
'not'
phew...I thought that was going in the COMPLETE opposite direction
thats not what he said
Look like I got here

JUST IN TIME

Just like any good closer. Now finish this thing OFF!
whos pitching the bot 9?
Warm up Milton

Um…that didn’t sound right…

bump said milton was dancing around earlier

hopefully… he did’t wear himself out..

i’ve got plans for him tonight.

Ohhh

I’d like to see what possible plans you’d have for me tonight :)

"ducks away from HBCG"

might reached my snarky remark quota

He's rarin to go since you said that..:)
I'm just imagining SWL

conjuring up some NSFW images of that sentiment… :)

Wuertz

in

Wuertz for me
that...

was pretty corny.

LMAO

I am as nothing compared to my father

When it comes to bad puns, anyway.

The best puns are

only 2/3 of a pun—P.U.

What Are Wuertz For

When no one listens any more….

No Wuertz for the wear
I'll have mustard on that Wuertz?
HAMMER

YOURE THE MAN.

thats not news

you’re pretty awesome.

thanks

and as a blind girl youd love me!!!

LMAO

maybe MLB should assign security to Marty B in Cincy. Afterall there are 75% Cub fans in Cinci

come on Wuertz
Sigh

I want to cook my celebratory brat! Hurry up Wuertz!

SUE

BEST POSTER EVER

so, Hammer

how’s the beer? :D

7 7

good times.

lol....you crazy guy.

Nice to have you join us tonight. :D

i thought wuertz went down to iowa

to learn how not to suck??

I guess he's a slow learner.
So...

If it’s a contest between Wuertz, Howry, and Lieber for the last playoff spot, what in the hell do you do?

Lieber

the reds won’t be in the playoffs.

Three way steel cage match

If they can’t pitch, they can at least entertain us

Carry an extra bench player
I bet Lou picks Howry...

Not my choice but he obviously loves the guy…

Winning run on second

provided they bat around and get no outs

geez

he’s got nothing tonight.

They cant make it easy .... we got ronnie gee wiz'ing
i hope it can't get any wuertz
They just got Wuertz

the bastards

Wuertz down

Wuertz down!

Things just went from Wuertz to bats
Reds Exposed Michael, Wuertz And All
OK, that's the best one yet

and now they hit a hr, geez

Check for Lou's fingerprints on Wuertz's throat
who is slap happy?

Honestly? I was out of town for 7 days and they won EVERY DAY….Ive been home for 6 and theyve lost every one……..lets get this over with.

maybe you should leave again
agreed

….fishing in the northwoods is a great/relazxing time.

Memo to the Bullpen

We would like to snap our 6 game losing streak and we already have our starters on board; so would you be so kind as to not blow it for us at the end of the game?

Thanks,
Lou

Where is the strike zone with this umpire?

Seems to be the size of a saucer.

not for the Red pitchers

frakkin outside corner…

This is not your father's blowout!
no my fathers blow out ... .won't have the other team score 9
now

it’s not really a blow-out at all.

Nope. Now it's 14-9.

Ron: “This is REDICULOUS”

i agree

gee whiz

ok, let's start this inning over
are you f'ing KIDDING ME?

grand slam home run on the FIRST PITCH.

holy shit I don't believe it
I just threw up in my mouth a little.

Nice job, bullpen. Real nice.

I actually threw up on the floor. The heck with just a little mouth barf. Go big or go home.
i've never sworn that loud in my entire life

F!

I've swore quite a few times tonight
Take a deep breath...

It’ll be ok…I promise!

I think I heard you!

You’re right, that was loud!

what the fuck?

Jolbert…what kind of name is that!?!?!?

the kind that makes little bears cry.
that word doesnt come out of my mouth often but it has tonight
and still no frikkin' outs
I'm more pissed at Wuertz than Marmol
W = W

close it out Carlos

Who's pitching now?

I don’t have my contacts in so all i see is a blue shirt on a big guy.
Whoa they got an out.

marmol
I'm glad you can see him
pat told me

:-)

Thanks, I'm stuck with the FSN Ohio feed .

and I can’t stand the Reds announcers so the sound is off too and on XM radio you get the home town radio feed so I’m watching something with no audio and I can’t really tell what’s going on at all unless the ball leaves the park in a dramatic fashion. But now it’s over. Go Cubs.

This is why Wertz was in the minors
Marmol in - 1 away
Well It cant get any wuertz!
groan

which is about what we’ve been doing the last two innings.

yeah, this is getting rediculous
Patterson = Weak

Taking second, like that’s gonna matter…

Still not a save situation, correct?
It won't be a save situation in any event
It could be, but let's hope it isn't.

(Not for Marmol, anyway.)

Lets hope it doesn't come to that.
Right. I meant for Marmol
Wertz should never see the mound again in the MLB after this season
the dictionary illustration of "nibbler"
Patterson with a rare single
Look at it this way

our regular closers have given up a total of just 1 run.

CUBS WIN! CUBS WIN!!

Time for a lovely malt beverage and a cigar…if I actually HAD a cigar.

Oh well.

Badgers scored 51 unanswered points today

And the Jayhawks shut out Louisiana Tech, 29-0.

Yep, I was at Camp Randall

i hope we got all that unpleasentness OUT of our systems. i’m too old for it.

they better freakin

win tomorrow. That’s all I gotta say. :D

Wow. That may be the shortest afterglow I've ever seen
TEAM AMERICA

………F#$K YEAH

Oh snap

But what does it really say about the team? Bullpen looked weak. Lee—God bless him—looks shaky at defense.
I’m just happy the streak has been snapped.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOO

shaky…..ahhh no. An inbetween hopper.

we just snapped a season long losing streak

and you want to talk about negetives?

jeez. can’t please anyone!

Sorry I offended
not offended, just irritated

the final out was just recorded. and you’re ALREADY talking about dlee being shaky.

just damn.

curious...

besides that one error was he shaky on defense?

not that i heard

and that E was a ball that took a hop.

but this post completely killed my buzz.

amen. a win is a win. let's enjoy it
Didnt Lee have one error?

Did he have multiple bad plays?

cmon

it was one play on Lee.

Dunno about the bullpen; three of those runs are on Wuertz…

This is all my fault.

I waited til today to switch my Believe bracelet to the left wrist. I knew that was the mojo shift we needed. Now we roll.

Colorado is 2 losses/2 Cubs wins from being

the next to be X’ed

Make that 1...they just lost to Houston
CUBS WIN CUBS WIN CUBS WIN CUBS WIN CUBS WIN CUBS WIN CUBS WIN CUBS WIN CUBS WIN

football season?

IMO—-that means b-ball season is ending. Tear Tear

but we can enjoy hopefully about 2 months of both
id give you a LSA

but I am tired……but agreed!

Couldnt sleep the other night

September works pretty good w/ Cubs, Packers and Badgers. As long as I dont plan anything else all weekend LOL

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We now return to our regularly scheduled season of winning

THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATIENCE

you know what

….youre welcome.

meh

I like the Flag but meh

She's No HBCG, I'll Give You That
yeah

HBCG is actually nice to look at, that….. kinda makes me wanna throw up a little

really?

i think she’s pretty.

really

not my type i guess

I don't see

that she’s so special either.

not gorgeous

but she’s not a troll either.

+1

Not drop dead gorgeous, but pretty in her own way.

Woah. Just woah.
Nice pair of

windows…

where do you find these pics; is this someone you know?
It's a Flickr set

A pretty bazaar Flickr set
Is that the pregnant girl in some of the other like pictures?
yeah

the whole thing is kinda weird.

yeah

HBCG Ill shoot the pictures, you should to your rendition of those pics

Um.

If i ever took nekkid pics, they would be NO WHERE near the internet…

who said id share them?

especially with ahem these people?!?!?!

Perhaps this discussion should be taken elsewhere . . . .
where you a hall monitor in school?
Do you want to see more of it?
I don't have feelings one way or another
well,

they would also be no where near the hands of some dude i met online.

lol

aww

HE GONE!

Cubs ballgame is OVA
I take offense to

“Some Dude”

Im not “some dude” that wasn’t very nice.

“some dude” psst. At least say “some guy, or some Cub fan or someone”

but “some dude” sheesh

At least she's wearing *something* in the W flag pics

Her other stuff is NSFW

the whole thing was creepy I thought, especially the rear shot where she is straddling the water wand which is gushing water

WTFIUWT?

So what are you saying?
looked like a pregnant androgynous person taking a leak with 24 in penis. wasn't the type of art I would pay money for.
that's very

descriptive of you. :D

wanna hear how i really felt about it?
That blue "W" is pissing me off..
Very much a team effort tonight

itttza nice.

but that guy in the corner needs a jersey

LOL

He’s everywhere!

I would have missed him had you not commented on it
There's a flickr album with a bunch of Milton pics...

I’ll have to add this one..

omg i didn't see him!
I had to go back and look
yay for baseball & football tomorrow

and yay for getting absolutely nothing done all day!

i won couple hundo playing cards in Indiana today

…..speak for yourself.

i meant nothing tomorrow.

i know i’m getting nothing done.

Those of us who are college football fans...

…already got absolutely nothing done today, anyway.

love college football

but i can’t get into it yet.

its still cupcake games… give me conference play.

True enough

Although seeing my alma mater win 42-10 is always fun, even if it did come at the expense of a nobody.

I'm gonna go get a drink

Anybody care to join me?

Im on Kenmore ave.

….JOIN ME

Kahlua & Cream 4 Me
7 7

and scene….

Helluva commute for me.

Meet you halfway? I think that’s Louisville

meet you at Wrigley.....

…….im walking :)

Where in Louisville?
sure... but it'll be bottle water for me
i'm still sipping on the flat diet coke

from earlier today. lol

Had enough already in Madison
really?

do tell

Just a few beers

Nothing crazy, but enough where I don’t feel like having a drink

well I'm out

nite yall

Me too. As Red Skelton used to say:

“Good night and may God bless.”

Over and out.

Wow, they tried to lose

I last checked, and it was 10-1. 14-9? Looking at the stats, Samardjila and Wuertz each did their best Howry impression. At least the bats were finally working. Good to see a win, it’s been too long.

Time for a brat!
Plesac, Where's The Conductor Hat?
big blue train!

all aboard.

what a loon.

Is Gail on?
calicub down below

is talking about her shirt… or something.

his wife

…..said shed divorce him if he kept embarrasing him…

Gail Is Starting To Show

Wearing a loose fitting baby top.

not a baby

…..she drinks a lot of dark beer,

So she is or isn't?
good lordy

the sox/angels game has gone to the 15!

With a 105 start tomorrow too

oops

I'm Outta Here, Like Vladimir

Evening all…..

Outta here...hope to be with you on time tomorrow morning

Thanks for letting me revel in the W with you folks!

i'm off everyone

dunno if i’ll be around tomorrow during the game.

Night cali, spoiled, hbcg...

sweet cubbie dreams!

God Night Sweet HBCG, may flocks of angels sing thee to thy rest.
I'm out like 80's retro...

see y’all tomorrow for W #87!

Anyone interested

IM me, Im not doing anything

AIM: ChicagoCubs316
Yahoo: Galvan316

ill be here for a little while

nah...

…..my but finally a great game. Nite to ALL……Go Cubs go

Hey……….well just refer to my first line in my sig. love ya and miss ya Harry.

not pretty

Wasn’t the prettiest win of the season but man was it a big one to get off of that skid. Lets win tomorrow and get out of town.

I'm out too.

Great win for the Cubs and us. See ya tomorrow.

night, everyone.

may the ship be righted once more.

Lou on the postgame...

A-Ram has some tightness in his quad…should be ok.

They are all good wins, no matter how we get them. This one meant more than just how it will affect the standing.

It gets the ship turning in the right direction and starts some momentum forward. Don’t look back now, just look to October and focus on winning the last game we play this year, after the end of the regular season.

We'll never lose another game this year!
She's sexy and 17

my little rock and roll queen!!

Song by the Stray Cats and the Cubs magic number is 17!

I'll take it...

but I’m not really happy about giving up 8 runs in the 8th and 9th. But, a win is a win, and we dropped the Magic Number on our own for the first time in a week.

BTW, the game against the Astros Wednesday sucked. At least we didn’t get rained on.

A win is a win

and this one still felt good no matter the bullpen suckage. How about that Soriano guy? It felt good to put my W flag out again!
