Bleed Cubbie Blue

sweet

can you get them with the second button not in the weird place?

this would not be difficult

I’m a graphic design major. Just starting a guy and his store up on ebay who is selling designer handbags

I would love to be designing for something i enjoy looking at

when the time comes we will have to talk more

my email is timothy.coyle76 gmail

there are

76 other Timothy Coyles?

i know of one other

but i was born in 76

sounds like a plan

i would accept being paid in jersey-jerseys :-P

TWSS

No shit? Should I just order all my jerseys from you?

It’s SUCH a pain finding good jersey deals on Cubs’ jerseys in Kansas…

you are welcome to, and if i dont have it in stock, i can check on it and let you know

Hmph.

I buy one official jersey a year. I haven’t decided on this year’s jersey besides that it will be the blue aways, but I would definitely prefer to deal with you Tim than anyone else. Good to know for a month or so from now when I’m gonna buy one!

spelled in various configurations?

LMAO

I want one that says

“Shark”

that would be sweet

I'd buy that

I would too.

so would I...

…seriously!

Look - this discussion just netted you at least 5 Shark jerseys...

(can I have a discount?) LOL

if i can get em, sure.

i will ask my supplier (no b.s.)

I'd like a blue away also

No.

I wanted to see him pitch in person tomorrow night. :(

znohitter - April 22, 2009 reply

I am. :-)

Not really

I’d rather he keeps working on his pitches, unless he were replacing Cotts

chitownhawkeye - April 22, 2009 reply

apparently

If you just now

saw it then yes you missed it.

yeah i was gone all night

It was announced

afternoon.

excellent

like me some shark

me too :D

is it alot to ask

for Milton to hit

MB double to the gap, PH gathright

Rami cleans up the mess

kodypuckett23 - April 22, 2009 reply

hahah i hope so

apparently, yes

Nice snag by Rami

Cubsfanatic - April 22, 2009 reply

OLE!!!

didnt someone once try to make a case

for that being a racist remark?

perhaps

but it was dismissed for being frivolous

Then SWL posted a parody thread.

znohitter - April 22, 2009 reply

that's serious?

i thought it was just a funny comment.

Oh well, it’s still frivolous.

fml :)

hehee

Today, I got a phone call, and the person on the other line started speaking French. I assumed it was my friend since we usually speak French with each other, so I said in French “What do you want, asshole?”. It wasn’t my friend. It was a representative for the exchange program I’m applying for. FML

hahah

LMAO

You've heard of The Butterfly Effect...

Witness the Hoffpair effect. Games he starts Cubs average 6.5 runs per game, games he doesn’t start Cubs average 4.5 runs per game.

Yes, but what does the other team average?

implying what?

that his defensive skills are lacking?

prove it

it's really not debatable, he's sub par defensively

again, give me some proof

since when do we imply that?

we outright SAY it!

back it up with facts

how about the fact

that he’s been in the minors forever? If he could competently field a position, that bat would have been in the majors before now.

bad assumption

no

it’s not.

dude.......dude

you need to let it go. EVERYONE knows it

Seriously?

Again?
Go back to this argument in the first thread. All of you.

chitownhawkeye - April 22, 2009 reply

never go back

WE'VE GOTTA GO BACK KATE! WE GOTTA GO BACKKKKKKKKK

are you for real?

I am not going to comb through every play hoff has botched. I remember watching games where he was up last year and groaning when he got an error. That is enough for me.

We should trade him to the AL for a middle reliever. End of story.

I guess Lou and Jim don't agree with you

Again, i'm often busy and mainly just lurk here...

… but having to lurk past this every game is annoying. Can we all agree that we know Clutche loves Hoff and move on?

If he tries to goad everyone in to a debate that he’ll try to have again in 10 minutes no matter, why become part of it?

AndrewJStone - April 22, 2009 reply

That's what I can't figure out either

oh, please

maybe if you didn’t harp about it every five seconds.

Fair enough

this is my first clutche encounter, and I’m beyond annoyed by it.

Welcome! Have you enjoyed your encounter?

Let's just say

i’m praying for an ignore function.

me too

halfblindcubbiegirl - April 22, 2009 reply

need a button for that?........just don't respond

I have this silly compulsion

to respond when people are wrong. I can’t explain it.

lol

Relax.........

sit back and have a cool one

Is lurking somewhat like stalking?

I can’t believe Brandon Phillips is batting 6th in this shithole lineup. You’re such an idiot, Dusty.

he's hitting .156

Unlike Lou, Dusty actually takes non-producers out of run producing spots

It's too late to have this dicsussion. And South Park is very funny tonight.

guzman is awful

he’s getting pounded again

AARRRRRR

Today, I walked home from a guy’s dorm early in the morning, still wearing my dress and heels from the night before. I walked by a mother and her little daughter, who said “Mommy, why is she so dressed up so early in the morning?” and the mom replied “Because honey, she makes bad decisions.” FML

TWMS

Why do you have

your whole comment in bold letters?

all subject line. It's edgy.

It's annoying too.

i know, right?

right

yep

alright, we're all agreed.

sure?

does anyone dissent?

all against, say Aye!

positive

positive?

guzman

fml

Our bullpen strikes again

down two

that might have been the nail in the coffin on night like this. On the other hand, we have owned COCO

guzman is one pitch short of being competent

sadly, with vizcaino and cotts on the roster he wouldn’t even make the bottom two

nah

he’s better than Viz.

Who goes first?

Cotts or Guzman?

Cotts I hope

Cotts is staying, just accept it

Cotts.

Come on now....its only 2 stinking runs and Dusty is managing the other team...

surely we can do this…..

On the Other Hand

Hawks 1 – Flames 0

Goal

1-1

Because of a dumb penalty on Toews

no doubt

that sucked

In Dusty, we trusty!

LAcarl519 - April 22, 2009 reply

1-1 hawks

who's winning?

Da Bears

perfect

Mini Ditka

Soriano

infield hit. Time for Dome to be a hero.

Both our second basemen are under the mendoza line

thank god we got rid of Derosa

DeRosa is down there somewhere too

derosa has a zillion RBIs though

nm

Dome will tie it.

Villeslgr - April 22, 2009 reply

forget that

just get a hit and let’s start a big inning here

MB better be pinch hitted for

why in hell would you PH for a switch hitting cleanup hitter?

halfblindcubbiegirl - April 22, 2009 reply

because he's been struggling

offensively i think he’s a bit rattled….defensively he seems very awkward running down the fly balls. He’s just a liability right now.

guzman has better stuff than vizcaino

and vizcaino has better stuff than that scottish woman from Britain’s got talent, so, carry the 2, multiple by four and well it is pretty clear they all suck

making weathers look like he has a greg maddux fastball

sweet

Dome

called third strike.

that was just a very good third strike pitch

Good old "Pieface" Weathers

When we had him, he sucked terribly, since then we can’t touch his garbage!

Itchy - April 22, 2009 reply

Doesn't that happen with most of the relievers we trade away?

I need to stay aaway from game threads when we're losing

halfblindcubbiegirl - April 22, 2009 reply

fair weather threader

The worst kind!

come on d lee i want milton to come up

he needs to do something good right now

Lee

pops out.

Harsh.

Mr. WTP

Who said he's looking better lately?

ugh

I am glad I missed most of this one.

Sleepy bats tonight.....ZZZZZZZZZ

but Bulldog Lilly was good……

We were going against Cueto

did anyone expect 7 runs again?

halfblindcubbiegirl - April 22, 2009 reply

40 degrees and breazy

advantage – the hurlers

It would be nice

to get a guy in scoring position

Could still be pitching

If he could field his position. Two errors and failure to cover first probably cost him an extra 20 pitches.

indeed.

we just need a jolt!

I still think that our starting pitching is so good

zambrano will have highest ERA of the 5 starters

No.

whose will be higher?

exactly.

one of life's mysteries is Lee hitting 3rd...

Like the fact he has half our hits tonight?

halfblindcubbiegirl - April 22, 2009 reply

I am not saying that he shouldn't be in the lineup..He just doesn't belong to that #3 spot

he's 2-4 tonight.

let's put theriot in #3 then..

um

no, thank you.

;-)..I thought so

Game ovah

Gregg

gives up the HR. 3-0 Reds.

Ugghh..

blah

That'll help the Gregg's fanbase.

fastball right down the middle

not sure why hendry was so gaga for this guy

same with Heilman

hes had a boner for that guy for over 4 years

FML

Indeed.

He thought he was the Wild Thing?

Darn...i'm turning on Blackhawks hockey now

How about

Gregg, Cotts and Guzman for a bag of balls?

Nobody is going to give you anything for Cotts.

Closer in a non save spot

Never ends well.

halfblindcubbiegirl - April 22, 2009 reply

It's just

been a strange night.

it has.

Missed most of it

Ate dinner and watched Castle on the DV-R.

halfblindcubbiegirl - April 22, 2009 reply

I do like

thta show.

I love it

Huge crush on Nathan Fillion.

halfblindcubbiegirl - April 22, 2009 reply

Captain

Tightpants!

I use to watch

him on One Life To Live. He’s a cutie for sure.

So you spent hours blogging up until game time...

…then ate dinner and watched Castle? Maybe I should have done the same…

I don't have CSN

So Castle beats out Gameday.

Every time.

halfblindcubbiegirl - April 22, 2009 reply

good show...first one I've missed.

DAMN – I didn’t set the DVR

especially if it's Gregg

how did they score

i missed it watching the Hawks

HR

off of Gregg

92 MPH

Fastball down the middle of the plate.

Cotts couldnt do that

is that a plus or minus to Gregg?

are we really using cotts as the measuring stick??

measuring Cotts

TWSS for sure!

i don't understand how he generates any torque

with that windup

How much torque can you get from a headlock?

cause that’s what he deserves…

TWSCS

Thats What Stone Cold Said

another fastball right down the middle

garbage

94 mph garbage, tho

Phillips

lines one to left. Still no outs, runner on first.

i can't even fathom handing this guy the ball

in a critical late season or playoff game

I still miss Kerry.

zevkalman - April 22, 2009 reply

for god sakes

Gahhh....not meant to be tonight I guess....

but we did start 3 batters with an under .150 average so we couldn’t expect tons of runs could we?

Bullpen looking crap-tacular tonight…we could use a closer maybe….oh yeah we have one in Marmol…..

and have Gregg

come on to pitch with two on, no outs, up by one in the 8th?

No just have Gregg go away perhaps....

so who is the fireman, then?

Guzman? Vizcaino? Cmon.

one step forward, two steps back Drew

people never seem to understand this....i've tried

He looked really good the other day

halfblindcubbiegirl - April 22, 2009 reply

good point, but.......

They started 5 or 6 under .200

Nope. We'll have

to take the series tomorrow. It’s a day game so maybe that will give them some energy.

Pop up to Bradley

one out.

Does Florida

have some pictures of Hendry? He just has a blind spot when it comes to the Marlins. Look at how much we have given up for Pierre and now Gregg. They do to us what we do to the Pirates.

Lee for Hee Sop Choi didn't work out so bad

fyi

+ a lot.

You have a point.

the Cub offense hit some balls hard in the first 4-5 innings

some bad breaks early, then the offense just kind of slumbered

I really want to watch DWade in the playoffs

but they keep putting Dick Stockton on as pxp.

halfblindcubbiegirl - April 22, 2009 reply

I think

maybe Gregg can come around.

I've seen

Kerry Wood pitch. Kevin Gregg, you are no Kerry Wood!

Tekboy - April 22, 2009 reply

He can't spell "potatoe" either.

We're getting shut out? By the Reds? Wut?

by Cueto

Yeah, tell me about it.

liner to Riot

two outs.

3 outs.

We need some runs, NOW!

sniff sniff....

you guys smell that smell? It’s smells familiar…..I smelled it just a couple days ago.

I did have

chinese food today.

Ribs?

halfblindcubbiegirl - April 22, 2009 reply

nope

General Tso’s

I was trying to be dyslexic

halfblindcubbiegirl - April 22, 2009 reply

whut?

What does SWL smell?

It looks like ribs…

halfblindcubbiegirl - April 22, 2009 reply

he who smelt it dealt it

Big Bats coming up

Let’s go!

heart of the line up coming up

time to see some HITS

Still time for the Cubbies!!!

Lets go boys!

Baserunners would be nice

halfblindcubbiegirl - April 22, 2009 reply

Well we've seen

last inning wins before. Will there be one tonight?

Any way we can get them.

I love your optimism

Milton Bradley needs to get on....let's see that amazing patience.....

We've seen that amazing patience

that’s all that we’ve seen so far

DTJchris - April 22, 2009 reply

Red Birds won

Red Birds win.

yay!

the mets lost!

halfblindcubbiegirl - April 22, 2009 reply

You do realize that the Cardinals are in our division

and so far our only competition.

DTJchris - April 22, 2009 reply

Yes

but I hate the Mets.

And if they both can’t lose, than at least one of them does.

halfblindcubbiegirl - April 22, 2009 reply

1-1 still in the Hawks game

Mini Ditka still in the lead

Oh it's a mini Ditka

I change my prediction then….

Thanks for the update.

Our win probability is a mighty 4%

thats the same as MB's BA

Yeah, .045? Really?

it just dropped a little bit more

Should we just let him get over this groin injury?

he need to be full rested and fully healed...

he’s not helping the team playing the way he is right now.

at least 2 games worth

+1

MB doesn’t look 100%.

ChipSet - April 22, 2009 reply

he wasn't hitting before he got hurt

i

so did his OBP

might be higher than his BA now

Bradley to the plate

UMP!

that is NOT a strike!

If he watches strike 3 again

He’s getting a headlock!

well

he didn’t watch it.

Milton is soooooooooo patient

A lot of deserved boos for Bradley

Rami

knocks Cordero over with his hit into center!

its the Charlie Brown comeback to the mound

Yeah, a hit

Milton Bradley

2009 version of 2008 Andruw Jones

oh lord

he didnt gain 50 lbs

that's a little harsh

and ridiculous

Bradley hasn’t even had 25 ABs yet!

halfblindcubbiegirl - April 22, 2009 reply

true Jones had a higher BA after 13 games

Stop it.

It’s good to see our off-season acquisitions are paying off. Miles, Bradley, Gregg. We’re a shade under 10% of the season…and these three mostly suck.

ARam! Ignite it!

1-1 End of First Period

did you guys get the bhawks audio and the Rangers video for a while there?

versus.

Oh just take 2nd Rami

Hendry must really be loving life so far this season

Gregg – awful
Bradley – awful
DeRosa – badly missed
Weurtz – would be like our 2nd best reliever :)

I think Bradley will get it going soon enough…

DeRosa was the worst loss

Unbelievable

marquis

that would let Marshall be the loogy and Cotts could be long gone

Soto

pops out to center. two outs.

where the hell is our offense?

and you know what, I’d almost rather see Guzman gone than Vizcaino

Chanman25 - April 22, 2009 reply

on the bench

Cordero isn't awful you know

And Cueto is very good.

Great pitching beats good hitting… nearly all of the time.

halfblindcubbiegirl - April 22, 2009 reply

Cueto

issues NO WALKS. That’s pretty impressive.

Yep

Cueto is really really good.

I hope his arm survives Dusty’s reign.

halfblindcubbiegirl - April 22, 2009 reply

true, just frustrating to see Lilly's outing turn out to be nothing

Chanman25 - April 22, 2009 reply

Not good that Bradley is getting booed already....with his temper.....next step...

he says something negative about fans and then BOOM Hendry’s trade blows up in his face…..

or, you know

maybe not.

expect it

trade?

oh, come ON.

temper

he said Hendry's trade blows up

Bradley was a FA

No reason to boo Bradley

His offense will come around. Guaranteed.

Neifi Puppy - April 22, 2009 reply

.048 reasons

Soto and Bradley's average

adds up to .100.

Rami found himself in suck sandwich tonight

Riot

flies out to center. Game over.

Well. At least I get to change my shirt!

TMI!

Chanman25 - April 22, 2009 reply

no, really

foresight of harry's glasses - April 22, 2009 reply

brutal

game to sit through

Win probability down to 0%.

FML.

we just got overpowered by the Duster, that's all.

Good game

We almost got somebody to 3rd

Night all.

Going to watch the Hawks.

Cue the Song!

go get’em tomorrow

Booooooo

just kidding of course. Win the series tomorrow……..

Absolutely horrible game. Boring and lacking emotion or any sort of caring attitude.

I guess the Cubs just don't care.

I agree because it's to late to debate

Wow, Milton Bradley sucks major dick

honeymunchkin666 - April 22, 2009 reply

you saying he is a Cottssucker?

LOL +5

honeymunchkin666 - April 22, 2009 reply

lololol nice tim that was really funny

Do you kiss your mother with that tounge?

tongue??

Wow santos my mom has passed

honeymunchkin666 - April 22, 2009 reply

regrets

My condolences....and I wonder what she would say about the language you use on public internet blogs.

easy she's emotional

sorry to hear that

mine did as well, so I know the feeling of seeing a comment like that. you know it was not meant to be hateful, but it doesnt sit well at the same time.
