Time to score some more
thanks for the jump.
+1

much appreciated

I love to be jumped ::smirk::
no comment :-)
bow chicka wow wow
What are the sexiest animals on a farm?

Brown chicken Brown cow.

Thank you, thank you. Tip your bartender.

hmmm

I enjoy arguing with gravity.

Hmmm, Clutche may have a word or two about that
Em, are there like 100 men to 1 woman in Alaska?
How did the cab;e guy like his eggs?
can we trade Riot

for Tejada? Straight up.

better stipulate a birth certificate

and a case of b12 in the deal

incude Dome
dome who went 3/4, walked and

had a stolen base tonight?

Yeah, no thanks. We need our centerfielder.

ouf.... ever the provocateur
Cubs could have had him last year
yeah

watching Tejada reminds me how nice it would be to have a SS on the roster.

that was

an amazing play.

not sure why everyone is making

a bid deal about minneapolis getting an open-air stadium. Looking at the weather the next 10 days project to be nicer here than in Chicago…….

but "TARGET" field???
we also have

target center. But I agree, crappy name.

Umm...

as someone who works for Target…don’t knock the hustle and be thankful it’s not Wal-Mart Field.

+1000

Well said.

Bah.

no runs scored. CHOLLIE MARBLE in to pitch.

two innings for White Castle tonight?
maybe

or maybe Marmol and then Guzman.

That would be interesting

I guess it wouldn’t be a save situation, unless something goes wrong.

just to get the kid

some work. Marshall must be going stir-crazy.

Koyie Hill

really makes me miss Geo.

Get well soon!!!

How long is he out?

Hopefully, he comes back soon

Day-to-day
aren't we all....
great minds...
Aren't we all?
well I'm out for the night

Later!

later Chandler Bing!
Fogle?

i bet he hates superbad

Pardon me

 but do you have any Grey Poupon?

I need some for my FILTHY SLIDERS.

better get those sliders down

or lee will make him pay

I remember that guy
That was an impressive 'stache!!
Im gonna call it a night as well

take care all, thanks for the great chat during the game

Good night Tim
Goodnight, Tim
have a good one.
Time for some

Marmolade

C-Lee

flys out to D-Lee.

god i love this time of year
Excellent. I'm chanting next inning. That dude can get stuffed.
ok. have fun
Tejada

grounds out to Riot.

Seeing as that was probably

Carlos Lee’s last AB this series…

He’s been really quiet so far.

I'm ok with that.
Oh me too

but I was trying not to think it until he was done for the series.

He feasts on Cubs pitching. And he drives me crazy.

let's keep it that way for 15 more meetings this season.
6-3

No double-clutch

he was moving

to his left.

one pitch, ground-out
Pence

takes it to the wall. Stand-up double, with Fonzie’s poor throw.

maybe we should start throwing pence

inside?

like

inside his spine?

gameday says that last pitch

was off the inside corner.

I still say Hunter Pence sounds like a stage name

For a non-straight adult film star

+1

He needs a mustache

Maybe Jimmy can help him with that inbetween 'shots'

Sounds like he knows a thing or two about getting stuffed too.

dood.

drop it. Please.

What is your problem?

You want to make risque comments, fine. You don’t direct them at someone, simply because you can’t move your fingers fast enough, or use the “z” command. Who kicked you in the nads?

Wait a minute, you probably don't even know what risque means...

without going to wikipedia.

knock it off
Wow

out of line much?

so

Jimmy tells this guy to get stuffed 3 times, and he sends it back and he is out of line?

sounds like both of them

need to be a little more mature and ignore each other

no kidding...........

some can dish it but can take it

Eh I should be the bigger man.

Some times I just like poking fun at kids i guess.

I'm willing to bet you don't even have a conscious memory of the 1984 season...
both sides have been a bit much
Do you even know that Get Stuffed is the new Pound Sand?
Under Pants

= Hunter Pence

What would be

the modern day equivalent analogy to buggy whip?

um...

jumper cables?

White Castle needs some grease
He cooks that shit in vitalis...
just like that
not a ton of movement

but really really REALLY FAST.

Man this Pence kid

really “irks my ire”

One more out, Marmol!
Pudge

grounds out to Rami. Three outs! On to the ninth!

Let's get some more runs!!!
Let's get

some insurance runs.

those would be GEICO insurance runs.
I think we have 4
true

but Pat Hughes needs them to be scored late in the game to be GEICO insurance runs.

googly eye runs
That?

That’s just the division you could win with the Cubs.

I really hate those commercials.

I thought I hated the lizard ones, but man those eyes really piss me off.

Somebody's watching you
the cavemen ones were the worst IMHO
I liked the original lizard ones...

but the problem with Geico commercials are they just play the same ones over and over and over, and they get realllll annoying. The Caveman TV show was even worse than the commercials, and some of my friends actually liked it.

didn't I say something last night

about how some games we score ten and then we struggle to score two? Sigh.

I believe you did
K-Rod

in trouble in Cincinnatti

Bases loaded ... how many outs there?
Brocail

in to pitch.

Gathwright

pinch hits for Marmol.

and hits it right back to Brocail.

that stunk.

Guzman

and Gregg warming up in the pen.

Guzman

looked great last night

The bullpen

in Huston makes really cool noises. the sounds really echo in there

Would be surprised...

if Gregg saw action in all 3 games.

Soriano

pops out to Berkman. Two outs.

FOOK is rocking tonight. Good work.
Fukudome bye bye
KOSUKE!

HR!!!

Dome homers
HOMERUN!

FUKUDOME!!!! 4-5 with a walk, homerun and a steal!

Wow, career day.
Somebody call this performance

by Dome in yesterdays pre-game thread

Take your swing to work day.
Give that man the game ball

Here’s hoping this is the start of a new trend

There's a GEICO insurance run!
DOME GOES YARD!

There’s an insurance run for you!!!!

Do like Dome's

bat flip when he really gets ahold of one

ROBODOME DESTROY!!
Break out the headbands
Lee

to first on a Tejada error.

Come on Gameboard!!!!

Get a hit!!

Woah.

What has gotten into Dome!

whatever it is, i hope to god its permanent!

we could be seeing

the start of a really good season.

I'd settle for some consistantly good ABs in a row

preferably without a ballet move.

Bradley is due
DOME!!

Wow….he’s baaack!

Tejada

seems like he duffs some routine plays. That would bothers the hell outta me, I dont care much about the webgem plays, just make the routines.

He's gotten worse...

as he gets older.

Sayonara!

It appears that the time in Japan is just about four weeks behind the United States.

He must feel great.

Just to annoy the slow one...

FU-KU-DOME!!!!

No way Dome!!

Wow, never expected that!

I did.

Maybe not this exactly, but I’ve been expecting him to figure it out. Hopefully, this is long-term fixed.

That would be nice

but I would like to see it again on Friday to confirm it….

I agree

but today still has to feel good for him.

yep

I was just kidding (sort of)

...and then again on Saturday...

…and on Sunday…

who put ichiro in a fukudome jersey??
Dome

found the zo ne

and Bradley works to a full count

for at least the third time today.

Bradley does have

a really good eye at the plate

Dome must not have liked all the complaints on BCB!

Now can he do at least half this good on a day to day basis?

Me likes

Milton’s eye

Bradley is a machine
Bradley walks

again. And his OBP goes up again.

Alright, ladies and gents. I'm off to bed.

Have a good rest of the evening.

Good night Trey
Goodnight!
Bradley...

just wants to save his first CHC hit for Wrigley.

Goodness I hope he doesn't got hitless until then
He keeps taking 3 walks a game

And I won’t mind that much

true
A-Ram gonna get up again!

5-6 anyone?

he is the best

player w/o a hit this year

He has seen

ALOT of pitches tonight!

His OBP is good despite no hits
I think

its over .300 w/o a hit

Looks like K-Rod got out of that huge jam
.00 Ba

But not a bad obp for MB

Rami

pops out. Inning over.

Time to watch Life

Night everyone

go Cubs!

Night!
Too high
somebody told me that at my softball game tonight

so I asked him “What the hell does that mean?” lol…

What exactly is MB's

OBP so far?

Dome

looks like he’s extending his arms better, maybe?

Whatever it is

he needs to continue doing it.

Staying back on the ball too...

Didn’t see any flailing or whirling swings tonight.

indeed

he’s not leaning forward and reaching for the low and away crap.

Did he learn how to

guess hack??

hit better

than Sori today.

Fukudome named Player of the Game on CSN
Definitely deserves it

Four hits in five ABs

Rightfully so.
Is that a first for him?
Sampson...

got robbed.

Guzman

in to pitch

Let's go Gooz!
I wish

Lou would take MB out and just move Dome over when bringing Gathright in

Yeah I don't understand when this move
I thought

Gathwright just pinch hit?

He

replaced Dome in CF

oh.

missed that.

Double switch?
Guzman "bats" in 2 hole
Double switch with Fukudome, according to Gameday
Cards lose.

So do the Hawks in a shootout

Man weren't the Hawks winning 2-0??

That sucks… Guess they can’t clinch home ice tonight…

I saw em give up the tying goal in a mad scramble with about 3 min left

Had many good chances in OT but couldn’t finish.

Atlanta's Hawks won in regulation :P
What sport is that? :P
Its sports entertainment

wait, thats wrasslin

I just caught

that ending. Bummer.

Does this mean they can't get the 4 seed?

Or did I misunderstand earlier?

how was pitch two a ball?!?
I don't know

It looks like a strike on Gameday

Strikeout

One down, two to go

is anyone else watching on mlb.tv?

both feeds are out for me. this new mlb.tv is total shite.

geez

even his breaking balls are over 90mph

Guz has great stuff
All right guys, heading out

See you in a few!

there's only two outs left!
Come on let's end this
Agreed

I need to go to bed

I needed to

an hour ago. This has been a long game.

yeah it has
Is Milton on deck?

Milton W

FC

Lee throws to Riot to get the lead runner. Two outs!

1 more out
A little late,

but I’m here. Go, Cubs!

You didn't miss much. :P
You missed a game
Did you bring beer?
2 down

Pity I can’t whip out the bill Murray sweep pic

But Milton's ready, right?

CUBS WIN CUBS WIN CUBS WIN!

Hi Milton!!
:-)

there he is!

CUBS WIN!!!!!!
Thats it

Cubs win!!

Cubs Win!

Fukudome is back!
Life is Good!

King for a day
CUBS WIN!!!
CUBS WIN!!! FLY IT!!! CUE MILTON!!!!
yo

JIMMAY!

What's up?

Our boy Dome sure had a good game!

indeed

indeed, indeed! Now, let’s see him do it on Friday!

exactly...

I’ll bring the chant back and see if I can get under the slow one’s skin…

eh.

hardly worth it. Chant because you wanna chant. :D

Good advice oh sage one...

That’s why I do it in the first place, I just didn’t like him getting out of line…

hope he can

would be nice to see him put good performances back to back again.

<img src=“”http://sportsmaven.files.wordpress.com/2007/09/cubs-win-9-28-07.jpg">"/>

fail
already posted it.

that was weird.

CUBS WIN

I love the blue alternate jerseys.
I do too.

We are a small fan group of those.

are the OFs still doing the "bump"?

I haven’t seen a win on TV yet.

da-da

DA-DA

DAA-DAAA!

i like that one too
Sorry I didn't

notice. I’ll check after the win on Friday. :-)

cute kid Drrew
soon

I’ll have pictures of him in baseball uniform. Unfortunately, the team name is Brewers, but still…

Aww. Does he

like playing?

cute kid but................

is that a gang sign

it's

a W for WIN.

Great Game

Everyone(batting) and Theriot’s .556BA

cubs win

while issuing 5 homers and no walks

Much as I hate the 5 HR

nice to see no walks

hey

that’s right. And once again, the Pen came through with flying colors.

to quote maddux

HR happen. Walks kill you.

Giving up a Hr is just serving up one bad pitch

Serving up walks meanss your pitching sucked

HR's aren't always on bad pitches either...

sometimes the batter just makes a really good swing on a good pitch.

Nice!

Do you have a big version of that somewhere?

what did you do to my guy?
Holy crap on a stick that's cool!
are those

BCB avatars?

they're just pictures of past and present Cubs
interesting...

but to my messed up eye it looks like its just been splattered by water or something. It looks really strange.

THAT WOULD BE FREAKING AWESOME...

and stuff.

If everyone would post theirs in a fanshot...

I’d do it.

I wonder

if Al could get them all from the SBN admins.

bubble wrap effect
Gnite all

I sleep a lot better on a cubs win!

she's wearing way too many clothes.
I can't win for losing :-p
it's ok

I’m just used to her bein’ nekkid.

Cubnational protested the nekkid pic

So I thought I’d keep things family friendly tonight.

Why? she was totally covered behind the flag
i don't understand why anyone

would post pictures of themself like that and not make the flickr page private.

just seem so weird to me…

gee let's see..........

why would I flaunt such an awesome body?

1-1 in San Francisco

go giants

right

4 run innings are fun, but 3.5 hours for a game is way too long. Goodnight, evar-ee-body!

Night
I'll argue with you on that

We double digit runs every game and I’ll gladly “suffer” through 3.5 hr games :-)

I'm out too.

Great win for the Cubs!

Good night Sue
Alright, I'm out... Later ya'll...
I'm out too

Later everyone

Well, we're tied with the Pirates in the standings...

If anyone needs me, I’ll be on the ledge… :P

I hate broccili

Randy Johnson gives up 3 run dinger to

GALLARDO ? Brewers up by 3.

We definitely needed those early runs tonight

Though it seems Houston lives by the home run, at least they did in this series. As we have seen, that doesn’t always work out.

Damn that was one fine offensive game

and that bullpen looked awfully good. Fukudome looked really good too.

Ted was stressing me out tho, hopefully his April showers of homers ends after tonight.

All good tonight

No complaints from me. On to Milwaukee! I’ll be there Saturday and Sunday.
