foist?
Everybody's late girl...
but eventually they catch on
Badass picture of GameBoard.
Whatchooo Talking about?!
Look up... way up
captioning the picture
yew talkin' to me? Yew talking to ME?
Speaking of Z's no hitter,

My computer hard drive totally crashed, and I paid over $150 to retrieve the data on it…mostly because part of that “data” was the video of Z’s no-no. Gotta have that.

I like your priorities, young man
Gonna frame my ticket.

Bought it on iTunes. Have it saved and protected on my DVR. Man that was an awesome experience.

$150? How'd you have it done?

Mine crashed about a month ago and my backup was a bit outdated

Just took it to a computer store.

They said the hard drive was working enough that they could transfer the files I wanted to an external HD. It was more expensive than I was hoping, but in addition to the no hitter, I also had a ton of music and pictures of my son…

wish i had one AUGH!
The one I took it to

wanted a grand to attempt to recover the files. I obviously need a better store

A grand?!

Yikes. That’s robbery.

Which is why I walked out

Pretty pissed off, I might add

What happa wit Fuku?

Did he get on-base YET again?

4 pitch walk
agin agin agin
full count on DLee with the bases loaded
Stress level...risINNNNNNGGG!!
5 run lead

would be nice to add on here but don’t lose your mind if we don’t.

Mets - Cards 4-4 in 8th
Thanks, Em!
anytime, my friend... just returning the favor
Beyonce wants D-lee to put a ring on it

Oh no... here comes Cotts.
lemme know when its safe

How many pitches till he throws a strike?
He throws a strike or Lou has a stroke
This could turn into the 21st century version of...

“How many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop?”

The world may never know…

heilman got yanked

for a ph; but as far as i can see; aaron has had put in another productive performance. perhaps some of the naysayers would be willing to retract their statements at this point. or no?

I'm okay with him thus far
some posters here

were swallowing some mets’ poison propaganda about aaron; i wish they would come clean & retract their satements…

seriously?

what difference does it make?

i think brian is heilman's mom
aaron is a cub now

and deserves our full, unbiased support. i saw pls eg: enty of post “my mets’ friend told me aaron sucked” posts

some people still

hated Edmonds at the end of the season. You aren’t going to change their minds.

TW...*sigh*

too easy

I got a good feeling about Cotts tonight!
glad somebody does
Cards up 5-4
6-4 now

heilman’s replacement (putz) bew up…

final

cards 6 ny putzes 4

Come on Neal..

3 up 3 down

Three pitches up and out of the strike zone

then 3 down and out of the strike zone?

not what

I was wanting… :-(

Ball 1
damn

Cards just scored in the bottom of the 8th.. nobody out..

baaaaaalllllll 2
you do believe in miracles
yay... a strike. 2-1
OMG, Cotts threw a strike? what's that about...
2 of them!

no one faint

even a blind squirrel can find a nut sometimes

plus its a small sample size :-)

STRIKE!

Woohoo

followed by a ball
Hahaha Lou up on the step to watch. Not happy.
All right

He threw a strike………bout time.

im late

do i get detention?

nope just a baby
You gotta say 20 Hail Ernies
does this work

The Cubs’ Prayer
Our team which plays in Wrigley,
Hallowed be thy field.
Thy Cubdom.com
Thy games be won on the road
as it is in Wrigley.
Give us this day our daily win.
And limit our losses,
as we inflict them on others.
And lead us not into errors
but deliver us from our defensive woes:
for thine is the hitting
and the pitching, and the fielding, for ever.
Amen!

You are forgiven, my son

Go and sin some no more.

Yeah nice strikeout!
K!
got the call
StLouis up on the Mets 5-4 bottom of the 8th
6-4 now. still bottom of the 8th
mets playing very bad baseball in stl.

had the go ahead run in the top of the 8th, but beltran doesn’t slide and is tagged out. ridiculous play. mets fans have to be pissed. then first pitch in the bottom of he 8th brendan ryan hits a line drive rope right at the left fielder, who promptly falls on his ass and plays it into a triple. yikes.

Now a hit
make 'em earn their way on
6-4 cards now
holy moly was that a hallucination?
yep, just a mirage

real neal appears

walking reds..
is not easy
like mixing oil and water
Dusty's pissed
That would be...........

Lou’s pissed

Bye Bye Neil

God I hope you're right

and this nonsense that Neil’s coaches will take a hit up the middle by Len is nonsense. The point of a reliever is to keep guys off base

yeah you know its bad when we're celebrating the fact hitters are feeling the need to swing
Marmol is ready. that's it for Cotts...
I'm so mad Marmol has to be used in this game.
he needs work

or he gets wild.

Our L(n)OOGY sucks.
Charlie Marble!
Great. Now we gotta use Marmol... again!

Thanks a lot Cotts… for sucking balls

He can't help it, he's just not good

it’s Hendry and Lou’s fault for actually putting him on the roster

He just had two days off

and gets wild if he doesn’t work regularly. I don’t have a problem with it.

Me either
anything not to see our LOS(g)Y

Lefty Oh Shit Guy

Now, if he pitches the ninth,

I would have a problem with that. Put in Patton or Guzman. If they get into trouble, put in Gregg.

Yep
I do

Consider that today is the first of 20 games in 20 days — the longest such stretch of the season. Lou says practically every other day that he needs to use Marmol less, and then he uses him with a 5-run lead — totally ridiculous.

If you don’t trust anybody else in the bullpen, why do you have a bullpen?

OT for the pitching change

..i’m going to Busch for the first time this weekend, any suggestions?

don't go.

all the red will burn your retinas…

Be prepared to get yelled at by women and young children
but there is nothing better than beating the cardinals at busch, and being there to talk some.....trash
sorry to hear it's your first busch....

but good for you

::rolls eyes::
lol wow it only took 4 replies for that one to show up
Wear a crucifix
should i hiss too?
Hope Farnsworth doesn't walk in the winning run...

(Still bitter)

Jeez...

Farnsworth and Howry references along with a Cotts appearance.

I’ll be having nightmares tonight…

see if you can buy a "Morans" shirt in the gift shop...
I really had high hopes

for Cotts this year

so did

Sean Marshall

I have high hopes he'll be gone when I read the news tomorrow morning,
think we can get

David Aardvarksma back for him?

Jesus, you have a 5 run lead, just throw strikes
see, like that
Is it really possible

for Cotts to suck as bad as he does?

you could say he sucks cotts
he is a Cottsucker
lol! you scamp
ah thank you
And thats why you pitch Marmol after 2 off days

with a big lead.

I think it's a bit over-exaggerated.

I’d rather he get the day off.

He just had 2
You must not

remember last season when he had more than a few days off. He was awful.

I remember it very well.

I just don’t like using him in a 5 run game in the first game of a 20 games in 20 days stretch.

He'll be fine
and that's why Cotts still has a decent ERA

because the next guy has been getting out of jams he starts

Sweet Marmolade........
That's why we have Marmol

Sweeeeeeeeeeeet

Cotts is an Eyre rerun
without the humor
So if we let him go

he goes to the team that wins the WS?

We have to let him go... and re-sign him
I'll take my chances
that's why we should just send him to Iowa

they need a AAA Championship

He's got more than 3 years big league exp

he’d have to clear waivers to go to AAA, wouldn’t he?

I don't think there are a lot of teams clamoring for a lefty specialist

who can’t get lefties out, and walks everyone in sight. At least Eyre was a grizzly veteran

So he remains with the Cubs and we win the W.S.
Cardinals just won :)

Mets aren’t good for anything

Sorry I meant :(
I was wondering
yeah i was wondering why you were smiling
Why couldn't they both lose?
makes sense to me..
In a perfect world.
That's a classic...

“injury game.”

Or go for like 25 innings
The Cubs won

the Mets lost.

I’ll take that for a day.

that would be a tie

and give Bud more genius ideas, like the winner of the Mets Cardinals series gets home field for their division in the post season

That would be an...

earthquake game. Or a Zeppelin crashing on the field game. As long as none of the fans get hurt. Oh, wait, they’re in St. Louis…. Fans can get hurt.

Reed's wearing his 1908 hose, I see
Not very

lucky for him tonight. :-(

unfortunately
Boy Reed has looked awful at the plate tonight

Hopefully Dome isn’t out for long

RObodome is in RF I thought
CF with Bradley out
Dome isn't out
you're right, never mind

had Reed in + Dome getting hit, and figured he was out

Reed PH for Hoff against the screwball lefty
hey - I resemble that remark...
then went to CF with Robodome to RF
I'd rather see Hoff face the lefty
but its a righty
Lou pulled Hoff and PH Reed
Just looking at

those fans all bundled up makes me cold.

thank god its only 79 here now
its supposed to be 80 on Friday
Yep here too.
I'll be 80 on Thursday
it will be 80 before lunch tomorrow i am sure
Been there - bought the sweatshirt
I'd be buying

the gloves, hast scarf, etc.

it's colder there than it is in Fairbanks lol!
See ifyou're still saying that in Oct

when you have snow up to your knees. :-P

October I'll be bragging about my cold cojones
Cold but satisfying game so far....

although the Cubs with bases packed are not quite clutch yet are they…

ARAM is
He has always been....maybe he needs to train the rest of the team
It's 7-2

I think that’s clutch enough.

Just observing not complaining....very happy with a 7-2 lead
Give it time

They’ll be fine with the bases loaded, eventually.

That'll change... eventually.
5 run lead... 9th inning... THROW STRIKES
even the baby knows that
Its too cold out to have those little kids out
I don't understand that
balls=sperm=kids...

got it?

If you have to spell it out

it isn’t funny

It went over her head
Sue was replying to me anyway

not your twss

TWSS
I think she got that one
My original

reply was to HBCG not you. Your try at humor did not go over my head. It just wasn’t funny.

I know already....geeezzz
I wasn't replying to you
I was thinking breasticles = kids
No

those are “the girls”

or low hanging fruit
6-3 NoDC
Guess he threw a strike
2B

Hairston up

Why the hell are they booing Jerry Jr.?
because

they can. and they want to go home
