heileman should have seen if that would have rolled foul....
Easy to say

after the fact. Hindsight is 50/50

20/20

or the thing i don’t have

that was a joke

but not so funny to you

really?

my funny is broken today apparently.

she was telling a joke on herself, silly ;-}
yea but only half the time....
That ball was pretty much dead when he touched it.

Not enough spin to let it roll foul.

Thirsty?

Virtual beers for everyone!

mmmmm, virtual belch
Here we go Neal!
Cotts in

Erstad announced, then pulled back. Cotts will face Jason Michaels.

My kingdom

For this game to be over before overflow 3

Who are ya...

Richard 2nd ala William Shakespeare?

THIRD!

RICHARD THE THIRD!!!!

Overflow 3 will be up at 8:45 CDT.

If the game’s over by then I’ll cancel it.

You should just leave it so it can become the cubs victory thread
That was my point, Al...

I want this game over before 2:45am!

And I'd like it over by 6:45 pm so I can have dinner!
That run got charged to Z?
why wouldn't it?
it was his man that he put on base duh
I'm relying on you all to tell me what's happening

Since I’m at work, with no TV or radio. I didn’t see when he got on base. Cut me some slack

+1,000,000.99

n/t

probably

he was responsible for the runner

Yep.

His final line is 6+ IP, 5H, 1R, 1ER, 3BB, 6K. 97 pitches, 59 strikes

A good outing for Z, I'd say.
His last two Opening Day starts have been very good.
In line for the win, too
Still owns a better ERA than Sabathia, Webb, Lee and many more

:D

alright Cottsy

get it done.

Throw strikes, Neal
Dammit Cotts!

Throw it over the freakin plate!

what stinks and cannot throw strikes?

Neal Cotts

It's all good, Cotts will be fine
You better be right.
Trying to reverse the bad mojo around here
Now if someone wanted to say

Cotts sucks… I could go with that. We saw him last year in Cubbie Blue.

What's he running to first for

get your eyes checked!

no, no...

that’s a STRIKE, Michaels. You have to go back and bat again.

and then he suffers the indignity of the Theriot double-clutch.
Umpires hate that.

Michaels probably lost the next close call he gets.

Thanks to Cotts for the ground ball ending the inning.

And, knowing that, he has to protect more

So he maybe chases that 3-2 pitch to ground out.

inning over!
How can you complain about that Cecil? right down the middle
six more defensive outs....
And we're out of the inning!!!!
well done by Heileman and Cotts!
Inning over

Theriot with the double-clutch…as usual

nice play theriot
Cotts makes me nervous.

hes the only guy in the pen i really don’t trust.

and lou doesn’t know how to use a loogy anyway so why do we have to have the token lefty.

actually he is pretty good at getting right handers out....
Dome, Lee, and Gameboard coming up

with a guest appearance from A-Ram

Theriot double clutches 3 times and still gets the out.
it was a close thing

tho

It's time for some (unsponsored) insurance runs...
Anyone see Verlander's line today?

UGLY! 8 runs in 3.2 ip, i think

Against the jays too

almost as bad as losing to the pirates

Good point

though Travis Snider is going to be very very good

agreed

Adam Lind already is it appears

Beautiful setup for the groundout

Not bad, Neal.

Could've been better

He needs to learn where that big pentagon right in front of the catcher is

He nailed it when it counted

That’s a lot better than last September, at any rate

Should Lou pinch hit for Dome?

I say yes!

then gathright for defensive replacement

as well as reed for bradley?

That's what I would do.

But Lou won’t.

question

who wins in a fight jack bauer or chuck norris.
to make things even jack bauer can’t use a gun and the fight doesn’t tale place om texas

Bauer, no question.
But can he beat Bourne?
Trick question

the answer is Ditka.

Does Conan O'Brien start them off by pulling a lever?
Anyone know if either postponed games are double headers tommorow?
Don't believe they are
Nope...

…Tuesdays were off days for both series.

There's always a built-in off day for non-domed stadiums

For Opening Day games.

We go to the 8th.
cmon Dome

put something on it!

Dome

fails to impress me yet again.

Weak fly ball out by Kosuke...

ugh

he made contact?

sigh. C’mon Dome. Get it together.

popped it up. 1 out

but again… at least he hit it.

How long before Dome loses the second spot?
About 24 hours.
unlikely
Is Wandy Rodriguez going tomorrow?

If so, Johnson will be in CF vs. the lefty.

sure

but that’s not Dome losing his spot.

In favor of whom? LBR?
I imagine it'll take more than zero full games
Wont be there tomorrow
I still hold out hope... but Lou won't give him long
its the first game

against Oswalt, settle down

That AB wasn't vs. Oswalt
no it wasnt

but the other 3 were.

lee almost goes yard
for the second time this game.
and then he Ks

0-4.

well, almost only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades, you know...
and curling
the Juice Box is soooo small for righites
nice catch

jerk.

Sounds like Derrek's making solid contact

at least. And in the air even.

cute play by Matzui
Was Marmol warming up?
crap..I hope he's ok
you gotta be kidding me.....
Matsui

robs bradley. Dammit. Bradley slips off the bag. Limping.

Oh boy, Gameboard turns his ankle at first
shit
Crap.

This is what I worried about. Hope he’s OK.

Great

Nomar all over again…

not fair

i’m sure bradley’s a much more successfull athlete than his wife

it didnt look that serious.......but then again..
jeeze I totally missed that

yikes

that didnt take long

game 1

Guess Fukudome's job is safe now

damnit

SIGH

PLz god plz

Anybody that had 4 at bats before Bradley gets hurt

wins a year’s supply of rice-a-roni!

Looked like a turned ankle.

Probably sit him for Johnson and move Fuku over.

gathright in CF Reed in RF vs righties?
that's the better solution...

but thankfully unnecessary currently.

or not

still in the game

whew…..

Hopefully he just tweaked it

he’ll be fine.

what the

he’s probably fine.

Bradley remains in
He's still in...no worries...
wait hold the ledge!

hes in !

Just stopping in to say don't panic

Looked like a minor nuisance at worst. I’m surprised he’s not out of the game, though.

Good Jebus thank you

I thought that was it, since I’m only relying on what’s posted here.

Yeah, at first I thought "oh, boy"

But when I saw the replay, he just stumbled.

looking good... feeling good

its gonna be chutes and ladders all season with this guy huh?

MARMOL in to pitch

Bradley is fine.

MARMOL FTW
no

it better not be.

marmol for the HOLD

See

and everyone lost it for no reason.

Last time i trust YOU guys to be my eyes.

in slow motion

it looked pretty nasty. Not Jason Kendall nasty, but still, ankles aren’t built to do that stuff.

I just said he turned it....lol...which he did
I didn't say anything

Of course, I wasn’t watching at that moment, so I probably wouldn’t do any good, either ;)

Wow ... freaking out already

Clock it at 2 hours, 10 minutes after the season began

I think we just broke our own record.

The ledge got pretty crowded for a while.
lol indeed
I mean, everybody had Marmol and Gameboard on the 60-day DL
Anyone else

not able to get the game on ESPN2? I’m in Bloomington, IN. It shows that it should be on, but it hasn’t been all night. Is this some new bad MLB blackout?

It appears to be, yes.

Idiot blackout rules.

+1000

If MLB just figured out that I would gladly pay $100 a year to watch all of the games online, no matter where they are, they would have $100 a year more in revenue. I don’t really have the time to drive up to wrigley for a game with 4 kids 7 and under. Too expensive and I can’t really pick one to take…

REALLY MADDENING!

Man I actually prayed about baseball already this year...
god h8s cubs :(
holly mustache batman
WHITE CASTLE!

I want some FILTHY SLIDERS!

Riot

didn’t even double clutch this time.

he did

for the second out…

anyone see the stach on that guy on espn's intro?
that was a professional stach to be sure
I think he needs to be tested for PED
come ON, Carlos!
worst part of a potential bradley injury

is it keeps Dome in the lineup. I can’t wait for Dome to hit the bench for good. It isn’t just the stats – Reed Johnson is pure energy, Dome is sleepwalking out there. It will change whole dynamic of lineup.

Or, worse...

…. Hoffpauir plays RF.

Clutche sighting in 10...9....
His soul patch is pure energy
ffs

we haven’t even played a whole game… and we’re talking “dynamic of the lineup”

ugh.

Still feisty, eh?
you know me

but seriously. maybe Dome isn’t very good at baseball.. but the lineup with him in it desrvs more than 8 innings before we talk about its dynamic.

Don't you know?

Players never improve. Once they have a bad few games, they’re bad and must be executed.

Actually, I can't wait for Dome to play good baseball

That may not happen, but I hope it does.

four more outs....
Don't do that!

Remember what happens when you count outs!

where'd Sue and Emelie and HBCG go?

were be the women at???

i'm here
what am I, chopped liver? I'm here :D
I said Emelie!

Just didn’t see you post lately…

I know... just pulling yer leg
TWTCGS!
?

n/t

That's

what
the
Cable
guy
said

That's What The Cable Guy Said
thats what the cable guy said
that's what the cable girl said?
That would have been better
Cable guy showed?
He did! I'm all wired and ready to go

the super duper extra extreme zooming internet/tv package

Cool!

Tonight, on channel 888 — The Iceberg Channel . . . .

lol!
Not that I have much room to comment in SE WI
it's warmer here today than it is there
It's over 88 degrees in Alaska?

Because that’s what temperature it was “here” today.

really????

The paper had it at 36 or so

It's 88 in Scottsdale, Arizona, where I am until Thursday.
it wouldn't be hard to be

we cracked 36 today.. but still had 30 mph gusts off the lake.

I'm not surprised

It was downright blustery — although apparently Al is either still in AZ, or there is quite a temperature gradient over 65 miles.

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh forgot he's still in paradise
Till Thursday.

Absolutely beautiful here today.

right here...
THROW STRIKES
Eh ... maybe not so advisable right now

At least not easy strikes …

berkmans fat
Please, not Carlos Lee!
Please

be careful. But also throw strikes.

Something about Marmol's delivery is off...

anyone seeing it?

not

on those last two pitches…

yes....it looks less fluid if that makes sense...
Looks fine to me.
That was full on White Castle nastiness there.

Just need one more.

Nice catch A-Ram!
YES!

three more outs please hurry this game up

we can hold down the fort for you

you can go crash. you’ll be forgiven.

great catch by Ramirez
GOT HIM!!!!!

Broken bat foul ball!

this game is flying by... or is it just me?

cant believe its already the bottom of the 8th

thank goodness

says the guy in england

Thank goodness...

… say all of us. I like quickly paced games like this. (Especially when the Cubs are winning!)

me too

means the wife is happier, and that means I can watch more games.

Yes! Out of the Inning!
Way to hang with it

Aram

Nice inning for Charlie Marbles.
Mmmmm....White Castle.......
Marmol appears to be in non-midseason form
Marmol always worries me but I'm in the minority
It was actually a positive comment

Remember Marmol’s midseason last year?

yep... good point. thanks for the happy reminder
All right!

Now we get to see if Gregg is the real deal!

Tejada, Blum, Pence

due up in the 9th.

Where's the Houston Bartman?

Esteban Bartmando?

out of it.

griffey jr up to bat

I dont thnk he stands much of a chance against Liriano

cancel that

HR

wanna try that with cubbies batters next time?
i thought he was too old to handle the hard throwing lefty

guess not

Not to complain but....

2,3,4 hitters are 0’fer tonight…..that best not be a trend……

bradley had a walk and some good ABs
uh

Rami hit a home run.

oh, he's batting 5

 my bad.

yeah, but he's the 5-hole hitter now.
And Lee just missed a HR in two different AB's

Derrek’s had some good swings tonight. It’s encouraging.

oh my god

i hasn’t even been a whole GAME.

ugh

gotta love the game threads...lol
Hee hee I knew I could get a rise outta some of you
First 8 1/3 innings

—Dome still sucks
—Marmol’s delivery is screwed up
—Gameboard is done for the season
—Marmol’s hurt

Yep, we’re in midseason form ;)

you, sir, are in need of anti-ledge meds
I wasn't agreeing with any of them

Just saying those were all out there at one point

I really dislike Tejada.
you have to wonder what he did with that HGH he admitted buying but never used....hmmmmmm.
Are you sure that's his name?
Greetings - checking in

Any excitement tonight?

dunno

how big is your ledge?

Drew - I don't go on the ledge

until July

fair-weather

jumper!

bob referred to fukudome as "her"

everyone freaked out when MB tweaked his ankle

theriot still double clutching

he only double clutches when he doesnt triple clutch....
Maybe C.C. will pitch someday for a team on which I can root for him
Yankees, btw, win 84 games and are home in October
NC 8 MSU 3 17 minutes left
In the GAME?

Let’s see, that’s two FG and a safety to a FG. Tight defensive battle.

FG and 2-PT conversion

Was a bad snap on the PAT…

Poor Al

::whispers:: I think he’s serious.

LOL

No, I wasn’t.

wewt!

Lee and Tejada watch the ball drop between them. LBR is 3-4.

LBR gets a drop
"i got it... no you got it!" *PLOP*
wild pitch!

Fonty moves up to 2nd.

LBR!

Scrappiness, that’s a scrappy hit. The Astros were stunned by pure scrappy baseball.

our peurto rican catcher is better than their peurto rican catcher
I like Pudge but clearly his best years are behind him.
Little Babe Ruth is crazy good.......
we heart our little guy
i'd like some more runs please
run run run run run run run run
i dont think soto stands much of a chance here
didnt work
Theriot has no extra base power
What?

When did this happen?

speaking

truth to power today? :P

In that park...

… he could hit a popup off the scoreboard in LF and get a double.

Shhh....I'm trying bheidge's method
worked for griffey
well time to feed baby

go cubs

sparty not off to good start

17-7

I thought you were Purdue

Just a Big 10 thing?

boiler up
Wow. That was cold

“More memories for Mariners fans, who may not have many this summer.”

Yeesh. Give them a hopeful day, at least.

come on walk

let see what Hoff can do

Bring out Erin Andrews
he walkes

and Hoffpauir comes out.

WE NEED EA PICS!

Nice

Not only EA, but the ugly Brewers fan in contrast

The left or the right?
Hoff pinch-hitting
SO much scrappy clogging the bases
Drake McClain with a radar gun behind homeplate
Hoff-power please
Work your magic, Erin!

My fave of the two
Hoff working on some Reed Johnson chin action?
Sutcliffe loves him his HoffPOWER.
Sutcliff is a.........

smart man and knows talent when he see it

Ummmm....that makes me tingle
TMI
I just haven't eaten supper yet....the sandwich looks tasty!
Hope you didn't

share that little tidbit with your girlfriend.

Erin is such a distraction
...and it kind of worked.
felt that swing

all the way up here.

BASE HIT! FONTY SCORES!

Credit to the Hoff

that was clutch.

I propose that when Hoff gets a clutch hit

We call it a “Clutche hitte”

I just

said the same thing farther down!

yeah, took me a bit to catch up

catche up?

Hoff base hit

4-1!!!!

wow

nice slide

RBI single for Hoffpauir!

Erin’s magic works again!

Wooooo

Soriano gets another AB!

can we have a designated EA picture guy

so that my brower stops getting killed by 10 pics at once. Goodness.

Meh. I'd like a hundred pics of EA in various stages of clothing....
Keep the EA pics a-coming
HOFF!!!!

ERIN!!

YES.................

Micah

And there is a CLUTCH BASE HIT BY HOFF!!!!
maybe we should call it

Clutche.

LBR!!!

Hoff!!!

EA FTW hahaha
how about a 3-run tater?
Yeah Hoff clutchy!!!!
If Hoffpauir can pinch hit like that for a while

I’ll be happy to eat crow about him.

So will I.

That was a very good at-bat. Keep up the good work.

Not too shabby...........

for a 28 yr old rookie

Next overflow posts in ten minutes.
HOFF-POWER

Great piece of hitting.

Um, Pudge?

Generally that works better when your man is on third

he's getting senile
Playin catch with the bullpen
lol

nice try

Sori pops out
Sori flies out

end of the inning.

Let’s go PERGO!

The Gregg era starts now
im glad marmol

took care of berkman and lee

Pergo?

What’s up with that?

he's not Wood

but he’s a replacement for him.

I'll give ya that
I meant...

Where did that moniker come from?

it's a long-standing Cubs tradition

that I just made up about 30 minutes ago.

It's a substitute

for Wood. It’s a floor cover like wood is a floor covering too. Get it?

Hey, everyone...

… let’s see if we can end this game in this thread… I’m going to push the third overflow back to 9:00 CDT, maybe we won’t need it.

saving electrons?
Or bandwidth.
I know

But once the silliness starts . . .

wouldn't have figured

the NCAA championship game would be a rout before the Cubs game even ended

Well......KGregg let's see what you got.....
It's Lima time!

Wait…

3 outs without giving up 3 runs

c’mon k-g. you can do this.

Joey G!

who’d they pull?

Bradley
I think
Dome

double switch.

so sayth gameday

Bradley

Im guessing

Bradley is playing RF.
Tejada singles
gregg has bizarre motion from stretch

almost open faced to the plate

Good start...

not.

Gregg

gives up a single.

my first Cubs ARRRRRRRRGH of the year

ARGGGGGGGGGGGGGH

Well, that was unfortunate
C'mon Gregg.

Please don’t suck.

Gahh....eeeep.....duohhh
Never been a Miguel fan.
uuuuuuuuugh
This is getting scary
Another single
Why isn't Reed Johnson in the game?
excellent question

Reed might have had that MB drop…

+1

C’mon Lou!

Because Lou doesn't pull out "stars"

Remember May 1?

DAMN!

RUNNERS ON CORNERS, NO OUT

What the hell was that from Gameboard

belly slapped it

naw

bounced off the heel of his glove. just couldn’t make the play.

uh oh

not good

who blew that?????
SHOOT

Bradley can’t make the catch! 1st and 3rd, no outs.

Well, Gathright didn't replace Bradley

FWIW

I ask again:

Why isn’t Reed Johnson in this game?

I doubt it . Gathright is in center probably
Gathright in CF, Johnson in RF.
lou is probably starting him tomorrow

or something?

we are seeing the irrelevance of spring training

Gregg unhittable in Spring, rocked in first two AB of meaning

That wasn't hit that hard

Neither one was, really

He better not blow his first...
Just settle down, get a double play
don't blow this...

you EEEDIOT

Yeeeesh.......gahhhhh.....ack
Greggggggg

Damnit.

just bad luck on the second one.
Pence = .000745 % bodyfat
Joker

wihtout the makeup

Hunter Pence, no like-y

IIRC he had had a walkoff last year against the Cubs.

LET’S GO GREGG! STRIKEOUT! DOUBLE PLAY!

Why is Bradley still in

Fuke is a GREAT right fielder

if Gregg blows it

and we go to extras, you want Bradley’s bat in the lineup.

yes Dome certainly is
yahoo's gamechannel

has gregg pitching AND playing centerfield, but that is no excuse for abck to back singles

It's not easy to pitch standing in CF
that was flat out ugly
?What?

What happened?

that flubbed play but I still don't know who flubbed
some good news to take out of this

Bradley appears to be running well.

throw him

something inside and hard

1-2, come on, K
bradley rolls ankle and is still in

boggles the mind

only makes sense if reed starts in center tomorrow

but i still woulda moved ’dome to right, even with Joey in center.

SAC FLY - 1 OUT

Man on 1st

FB to center

1 out 4-2

flyout

to center. Tejada scores. 4-2, one out.

1 OUT, run scores

4-2

One out.

Get a ground ball and the game’s over.

concerned that Gregg is giving up a lot of stuff in the air

keep it down.

wow

Pence looks like a douche

Com’on Houston. You suck. Quit trying.

There goes the scoreless streak
FLY OUT - 2 OUTS
one more plz
Let's not pull an opening day, kerry Wood now!

NO Hit batters

Borne

flys out to center. Two outs.

Two out!

FB to Gathright.

wood

didnt kerry blow the first game last year? his year turned out good.

no

couldnt hold the 3-3 tie

Wasn't a Save

sitch, if I remember correctly.

Flags at the ready?
Mine has been waving since the 7th

and I haven’t been banned for life

FO8

Bourned dropped to the ground and did 10 pushups

Good pitch, 2 down
can haz one more?
keep throwing that pitch

disappears in the dirt

KG looks kinda like Horace Grant

just sayin’

CUBS WIN!!!
YES!

Thank you all for keeping me company. I’ll talk to you tomorrow.

CUBS WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
fly it - FIRST OF THE

You got 99 more of those waiting?
here's a few to come .. We take them any way we can get them

FIRST CUBS WIN
WHEW!! WE WIN!!!
CUBS WIN, CUBS WIN!
CUBS WIN!

what a day!

UNDEFEATED

attaboy

lots of good stuff tonight, especially Z and Marmol looking sharp

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

that was fun!

THAT'S IT!

CUBS WIN! CUBS WIN! CUBS WIN!!!!

1-0, baby! 161 to go!

I just love your kid
I love him too.

most of the time.

Love this picture
Cubs still tied for first....
awesome!

I hope all of Gregg’s 40 saves aren’t that interesting!!!

I'll post a recap later on.

Off to dinner. Have a great evening everyone.

The first of what will hopefully be many!

GO CUBS GO!

YEAH BABY!

1.000 RECORD!

Nice to see

this one again too.

W!

Happy Opening Day indeed!

Where;s Milton?
Still recovering his dignity from that stumble in RF

Oooh. You mean that Milton …

I want

to see him too. I’ve missed him.

Michigan State

is on pace to get beat about 120-50

Bedtime here in England

Worth staying up! Goodnight, all…

night buddy!
don't let the bed bugs bite
Night ... sweet dreams
Magic Number: 162
That run in the top of 9 was huge
hopefully we'll see a lot of that out of him this year!
Tied for first with....

the Pirates?

Good way to start the year.
YAY!!!

FYI .. Detroit just pulled all of its players off the field in Toronto

Seems the Eh Team up there in Jaysworld likes throwing stuff on the field.

Play is still suspended ..

night everybody!
how/when is the decision

to launch “overflow” threads made and based on what criteria? is there anyway to predict precisely when an “overflow” thread will be born? wouldn’t it be easier and more predictable to number the posts in the thread and say post # 501 (eg) will automatically spawn an “overflow” thread?? or no??

Al is the one

who picks the times that new game threads will be posted. When he is at the games he has them automatically post at certain times. Since he has been doing this I don’t really see a problem.
