When Rami and Bradley and Soto are all healthy all at the same time and we STILL can’t drive in runs, then we can worry. I’m not going to get all shook up over Miles not being able to make things happen.
Our pen pitched pretty good today. That’s what I take out of this.
You know, sometimes you just get beat. Kudos to Marquis (who wasn’t nearly as bad last season as some people around here like to think) and the Rockies.
You really don’t get anything going to third on that play. Really dumb. You could sense a feeling that that took away the momentum. Never make the first or third out at third base.
happens all the time. the rejected player gets all mentally amped up. just the other night, the mets had their house warming party ruined by duaner sanchez & heath bell.

Thank GOD.
Both for the HR and the new thread.
malicedoom - April 15, 2009
Was it bad in there, or just slow?
Shanghai Badger - April 15, 2009
We had a new
Mr. Negativity visit us today.
sue369 - April 15, 2009
The Satan guy from yesterday or newer?
Shanghai Badger - April 15, 2009
newer.
drewishdrewid - April 15, 2009
newer. sigh.
Emelie - April 15, 2009
newer
sue369 - April 15, 2009
Little bit of both
halfblindcubbiegirl - April 15, 2009
Glad I wasn't there
Shanghai Badger - April 15, 2009
I would assume slow.
It’s actually been pretty nice…aside from, you know, the game itself.
neverAcquiesce - April 15, 2009
This guy isn't good
lets get the rally on
nji232 - April 15, 2009
hope this thread has better luck in it!
halfblindcubbiegirl - April 15, 2009
we have to keep with tradition.
we don’t beat these guys till the 9th inning at least once per series.
drewishdrewid - April 15, 2009
I like this tradition
Emelie - April 15, 2009
I like this plan!
this is a good plan!
drewishdrewid - April 15, 2009
Let's get some baserunners.
daver - April 15, 2009
3-0 on Fonty
drewishdrewid - April 15, 2009
WALKED!
drewishdrewid - April 15, 2009
Walked him!
Clutch16 - April 15, 2009
How much of a leash does Street get?
BoVandy - April 15, 2009
Hopefully enough to hang himself with.
malicedoom - April 15, 2009
OT= Wakefield has a no-no through 7
Lou In Blue - April 15, 2009
Wait, the knuckleballer?
daver - April 15, 2009
Yup
Lou In Blue - April 15, 2009
Freakish.
daver - April 15, 2009
I didn't even know he was still in the league!
halfblindcubbiegirl - April 15, 2009
This guy here is *dead*.
Clutch16 - April 15, 2009
Cross him off the list, then
Shanghai Badger - April 15, 2009
This guy threw at his own son in a father son game.
drewishdrewid - April 15, 2009
When he sneezes, he looks like a giant party favor
Shanghai Badger - April 15, 2009
Tim Wakefield?

"Catching knuckleballs is easy...

carmen_fanzone - April 15, 2009
Ok we have something cooking here
But if they bring in somebody else we won’t win
nji232 - April 15, 2009
ooooooooooooh RJ.................bring it!
Emelie - April 15, 2009
TYING RUN ON DECK BABY!!!
malicedoom - April 15, 2009
Listening to the Rockies broadcast...
They are dreading the miserable production of their closer
Ross - April 15, 2009
Me too, its almost like they know whats coming
Lou In Blue - April 15, 2009
traditions
are traditions.
Street is COMING OUT.
drewishdrewid - April 15, 2009
That Street is closed until further notice.
daver - April 15, 2009
What worries me is that the shade is coming in between the pitcher and batter
which will make it hard for the batter to see the pitches.
zevkalman - April 15, 2009
1B for Cliff!
Clutch16 - April 15, 2009
SINGLE!
everyone’s safe!
drewishdrewid - April 15, 2009
SAFE!!!!!
Emelie - April 15, 2009
Base hit!
StevenABQ - April 15, 2009
Reed with a cheap hit
Fontenot makes it to second
nji232 - April 15, 2009
something doin!
Mutz - April 15, 2009
Cmon Soto, one swing, and it's a tie game
BoVandy - April 15, 2009
Just barely a single by RJ
and even closer of a play at 2nd with LBR
gwl17 - April 15, 2009
Hmm....a couple more hits and I'm going to try to take credit for this . . . .
Shanghai Badger - April 15, 2009
Woah.........
Fonty safe
carmen_fanzone - April 15, 2009
Let's go Cubs!
neverAcquiesce - April 15, 2009
Is that a Rockies cap?
StevenABQ - April 15, 2009
Uh oh.
daver - April 15, 2009
Rockies haven't been around
for that much sweat to build up.
neverAcquiesce - April 15, 2009
Good point
But some Cubs fan must of put that on after application of Grecian Formula 5 to turn the inside black.
StevenABQ - April 15, 2009
The inside of my dad's Cardinal hat is abhorrent.
neverAcquiesce - April 15, 2009
It's a Cardinal hat....so it the outside.
santoswoodenlegs - April 15, 2009
Too true.
On top of that it’s got the old fishnet back.
neverAcquiesce - April 15, 2009
Nice
halfblindcubbiegirl - April 15, 2009
TYING RUN AT THE PLATE!!!
YEAH!!!!!!!!!!
malicedoom - April 15, 2009
Whew!!!
Come on Cubbies!!!!
sue369 - April 15, 2009
Damn
damn damn damn taking out street
nji232 - April 15, 2009
do they have
anyone else in the pen?
drewishdrewid - April 15, 2009
Jason Grilli. He was drummed out of Detroit when they didn't have any pitching...
…so there you go…
Zeke - April 15, 2009
damn
pitching change
Mutz - April 15, 2009
Huston Street with a great Kevin Gregg imitation
Ross - April 15, 2009
Let's welcome Geo back the right way.
neverAcquiesce - April 15, 2009
Kim Bauer would like the Cubs to come back and win this baby...
malicedoom - April 15, 2009
Tim Wakefield perfect game live and free
Perfect Game?
Lou In Blue - April 15, 2009
Hmm...
Soto…three-run shot to tie it in the bottom of the 9th for a tie…
I’m getting all deja vu-ey
Clutch16 - April 15, 2009
I was at that game!!
Itchy - April 15, 2009
So Soto
can hit an HR, then Miles can get on base, and Rami can come in to PH and hit a home run and win the game!
drewishdrewid - April 15, 2009
I'd buy that for a dollar.
neverAcquiesce - April 15, 2009
C'mon, Geo.
daver - April 15, 2009
Let's fire up this Grilli
carmen_fanzone - April 15, 2009
Four more singles would be fine with me
Shanghai Badger - April 15, 2009
Somebody's gotta do pitch by pitch for me.
neverAcquiesce - April 15, 2009
Kerry Wood in for CLE to try to nail down the save...
malicedoom - April 15, 2009
Bot 9 here
don’t care!!
halfblindcubbiegirl - April 15, 2009
No I know - I'm keeping an eye on both - lol
malicedoom - April 15, 2009
FONTY!!!!!
NO!!!!!! Out at third.
drewishdrewid - April 15, 2009
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFfudge
carmen_fanzone - April 15, 2009
Stupid stupid stupid baserunning
and we have one out
nji232 - April 15, 2009
What was the point of that?
Lou In Blue - April 15, 2009
Damn
LBR out at 3rd on passed ball
gwl17 - April 15, 2009
WHY!!!!
Mutz - April 15, 2009
WTF?!?!?!?!?!
malicedoom - April 15, 2009
STUPID STUPID STUPID
Wrong move Hamster-boy
Itchy - April 15, 2009
How can we get worse? How about a series of fines for good play? Maybe a thirty-thousand dollar bonus for the guy voted least valuable player?
drewishdrewid - April 15, 2009
Fontoidiot
Archie - April 15, 2009
That was some scraptastic baserunning
Shanghai Badger - April 15, 2009
GEE WHIZ! says Ron, There's no reason for that! He waited too long to go,
Emelie - April 15, 2009
Not only that, the run means nothing
Shanghai Badger - April 15, 2009
Very good point.
zevkalman - April 15, 2009
Excellent observation.
Fontenot with a lollipop move: dum dum.
neverAcquiesce - April 15, 2009
Crap
Fonty!! what a delay.
StevenABQ - April 15, 2009
Oh man...that hurts.
daver - April 15, 2009
That's it
Sorry everyone, I can’t stay any longer, not that anyone will miss me. Take care and see you tomorrow.
chilango2 - April 15, 2009
bye chi
Emelie - April 15, 2009
see ya!!
halfblindcubbiegirl - April 15, 2009
A Geo HR would be almost anticlimactic now.
neverAcquiesce - April 15, 2009
That was very Cedeno of him.
Ross - April 15, 2009
Doggone it.
Shanghai Badger - April 15, 2009
Wow
nji232 - April 15, 2009
Game over.
Soto hits into a double play.
drewishdrewid - April 15, 2009
GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
double play ends the game
carmen_fanzone - April 15, 2009
crapola. down comes the flag.
Emelie - April 15, 2009
6-3 DP to end it
gwl17 - April 15, 2009
Game over.
malicedoom - April 15, 2009
Game over. How Sad!
CubsMan - April 15, 2009
...and we're done
Archie - April 15, 2009
Weak Sauce
Lou In Blue - April 15, 2009
GAME OVER
Crappy baserunning is our cornerstone!
Itchy - April 15, 2009
Baserunning means something.
santoswoodenlegs - April 15, 2009
Well poop.
Start a new series tomorrow.
sue369 - April 15, 2009
we haven't lost one yet!
santoswoodenlegs - April 15, 2009
I know.
We need to keep that going.
sue369 - April 15, 2009
Seriously, the Cubs inability to hit with RISP is concerning
BoVandy - April 15, 2009
Not really. It happens. And it's still the second week of April.
daver - April 15, 2009
with
two of our biggest OBP guys on the bench?
When Rami and Bradley and Soto are all healthy all at the same time and we STILL can’t drive in runs, then we can worry. I’m not going to get all shook up over Miles not being able to make things happen.
Our pen pitched pretty good today. That’s what I take out of this.
drewishdrewid - April 15, 2009
Yep - big outing for Patton especially.
daver - April 15, 2009
Indeed
You know, sometimes you just get beat. Kudos to Marquis (who wasn’t nearly as bad last season as some people around here like to think) and the Rockies.
Get ’em tomorrow.
Not Bruce Froemming - April 15, 2009
Although
that was a dumb play by Fontenot in the ninth.
Not Bruce Froemming - April 15, 2009
Very dumb
NEVER make the first out at 3rd.
Esp when your run doesn’t matter.
halfblindcubbiegirl - April 15, 2009
Damnit. I was in the other thread talking to myself.
dtpollitt - April 15, 2009
We knew there'd be one
Made it just in time to say good-bye.
Clutch16 - April 15, 2009
What a shit tastic game that was.
halfblindcubbiegirl - April 15, 2009
bah.
drewishdrewid - April 15, 2009
Oh well
We’ll get ’em next time.
Now it is time to see a perfect game.
bclark89 - April 15, 2009
Bad Baseball by Fontenot
You really don’t get anything going to third on that play. Really dumb. You could sense a feeling that that took away the momentum. Never make the first or third out at third base.
cubfred - April 15, 2009
Damn.
daver - April 15, 2009
Tough game, but we got 4 with the Cards
Hopefully we come out playing better in warmer weather. It was fun hanging out in the treads with all of u this afternoon.
gwl17 - April 15, 2009
See you tomorrow.
sue369 - April 15, 2009
Damn what a quick and sad end to what seemed like it could have been a great inning!
malicedoom - April 15, 2009
OT: just to make you all feel better
Blago gets tapped for a reailty show.
santoswoodenlegs - April 15, 2009
Like they tapped his phone.
Ba-doom, chhh!
neverAcquiesce - April 15, 2009
I wonder if the court will let him do it.
daver - April 15, 2009
I'm a Governor! Get me outta here!
Live from the joint?
Clutch16 - April 15, 2009
ugh. just. ugh.
Emelie - April 15, 2009
Kerry Wood got the save for CLE - good for him.
malicedoom - April 15, 2009
Is that his first one?
It must be…they were like 1-6 or something.
daver - April 15, 2009
That sucks.
But it’s one game and tomorrow…
tomorrow…
WE KICK THE CARDINALS’ ASSES!
neverAcquiesce - April 15, 2009
right. I'm out.
see y’awlz tomorrow!
drewishdrewid - April 15, 2009
bye Drew
sue369 - April 15, 2009
Okay
I guess I’ll go be productive for a bit.
Hope tomorrow’s game is better!
halfblindcubbiegirl - April 15, 2009
Nice to see D-Lee swinging a better bat
Lou In Blue - April 15, 2009
Bits and pieces at a time.
neverAcquiesce - April 15, 2009
yes it is.
Hope it continues.
sue369 - April 15, 2009
He's driven a few to RF this year, too
And just missed 2 HR’s in Houston. I think he’s looking better than he did at the end of last year.
Shanghai Badger - April 15, 2009
Until tomorrow.....
Lou In Blue - April 15, 2009
STL will be rollin in with a head full of steam
Led by their boozy manager in his skintight baseball pants and their ace, Cy Wainwright. We better get our clutch hitting in order.
Itchy - April 15, 2009
I guess I'll head back to BCB proper.
Oh, and to work, too, of course.
daver - April 15, 2009
I think you mean BCB Actual.
neverAcquiesce - April 15, 2009
Oh, right.
Put the old man on the phone.
daver - April 15, 2009
Bring our birds (Rami, Gameboard) home.
neverAcquiesce - April 15, 2009
Damn reply key.
