Does an error by a pitcher become an unearned run...
…or because it’s his error, is it still earned?
Also, if buttered toast always lands buttered-side up, and cats always land on its feet, what would happen if you strapped a piece of buttered toast, buttered-side up, to the back of a cat and threw it out a window?
Aaron Miles has absolutely no business being on a major league roster. None. Zero. Zilch. There are guys in every organization, at every minor league stop that are equal to his abysmal ability. He belongs on the waiver wire tomorrow and never should set foot on another major league field for one more day. He has done absolutely nothing to help this team and has only served to hurt them. End this misery and release him already.
that’s all he knows. Seriously, can you imagine this clown working for ANY other MLB organization? I’d bet no one has turned more into less than him…except for Brian Cashman.
Since live where I can only watch the Cubs on WGN or ESPN, I don’t catch a lot of games on TV. How long has that Gatorade dispenser that Dumpster punched been in the dugout?
This is the thread with strikes from Demp!
AND RUNS!
zm1217 - May 25, 2009
Walks two guys in.
Come on you freakign loser.
kanderber - May 25, 2009
Walked. In. A. Run
Again.
Clutch16 - May 25, 2009
It's improbable that...
the Cubs would just lose every game from here on out right? Because I’m starting to wonder…
Hilary Lee - May 25, 2009
Every team wins 60, right?
Clutch16 - May 25, 2009
21-141 would be unlikely.
zm1217 - May 25, 2009
Yeah - there's bound to be rain-out in there
Clutch16 - May 25, 2009
Hahah
Hilary Lee - May 25, 2009
this team blows
bheidge - May 25, 2009
Completely unreal
louslovechild - May 25, 2009
double play!
1-2-3!
drewishdrewid - May 25, 2009
I get here and the first thing I see are a bunch of ledgejumpers!
zm1217 - May 25, 2009
I'm not ledge jumping
Just contemplating what the possibility of going out on to the ledge might be like…
Hilary Lee - May 25, 2009
careful, im guessing its very crowded!
AzCubfan24 - May 25, 2009
2 walked in runs
will do that. :-(
chitownhawkeye - May 25, 2009
Merry Christmas from Laroche
AzCubfan24 - May 25, 2009
doubleplayyyyyyy!!!
CubFanInCanberra (9387milesfromWrigley) - May 25, 2009
Wow, needed that.
You’re an idiot, LaRoche but thanks!
kanderber - May 25, 2009
merry fucking christmas
Ryan Dempster
bheidge - May 25, 2009
Stupid move by LaRoche...he swung at ball four.
zevkalman - May 25, 2009
Whew! What a bailout...
LaRoche hit ball four into a double play
SouthernCub - May 25, 2009
we'll take it
CubFanInCanberra (9387milesfromWrigley) - May 25, 2009
Thank you
Andy LaRoche for being a crappy hitter
Hilary Lee - May 25, 2009
So lucky
but I’ll take it
chitownhawkeye - May 25, 2009
whew. and damn.
Emelie - May 25, 2009
indeed
sue369 - May 25, 2009
Now let's hope...
The offense picks up, and Dempster settles down. What a fortunate turn of events. That inning could have gotten much worse.
SouthernCub - May 25, 2009
Is it just me or has WGN gone through no less than 3 re-branding efforts in the last year?
dtpollitt - May 25, 2009
It's a sad sad day
When the fact that the other team scores a run or two scares the shit out of you
Hilary Lee - May 25, 2009
+1
or 2
Cubbie-Tim - May 25, 2009
Yeah
hurts a little.
chitownhawkeye - May 25, 2009
Tough guy dempster beats up the gatorade machine.
AzCubfan24 - May 25, 2009
Can we get a photo
Of that destroyed gatorade thing? It represents so much
Hilary Lee - May 25, 2009
YEAH! Dempster beat the shit outta the Gatorade dispenser!
THAT’S G
dtpollitt - May 25, 2009
Fonzie

drewishdrewid - May 25, 2009
Nice to see the patience at the plate tonight.
kanderber - May 25, 2009
Soriano having a good game so far...
Very patient. Seeing pitches and taking walks.
SouthernCub - May 25, 2009
Walk for Sori
zm1217 - May 25, 2009
Dempster > gatorade dispenser
owned.
Chanman25 - May 25, 2009
Word.
zm1217 - May 25, 2009
Z just sitting right next to the machine.
“Like I’d ever do anything like that…”
yajohn - May 25, 2009
At least he's owned something tonight...
hopefully he can own the Pirates the rest of the way.
SouthernCub - May 25, 2009
Ha. Good one.
zevkalman - May 25, 2009
Z is trying
ti fix it.
sue369 - May 25, 2009
the irony seems overwhelming
Chanman25 - May 25, 2009
Come onnnn Riot.
zm1217 - May 25, 2009
LOL 'LOS
dtpollitt - May 25, 2009
Z approves
Of Gatorade destruction
Clutch16 - May 25, 2009
Carlos trying to fix the gatoraid machine
Little karma there
chitownhawkeye - May 25, 2009
lol he owes that gatorade machine
Emelie - May 25, 2009
Riot
gets another double. Sori to third.
drewishdrewid - May 25, 2009
This is why I love big Z
Hilary Lee - May 25, 2009
woot base hit there's hope
Emelie - May 25, 2009
Theriot is back!
Chanman25 - May 25, 2009
Theriot also having a good game
SouthernCub - May 25, 2009
Holy crap, when was the last time we scored 2 runs in one game?!?!?!
AzCubfan24 - May 25, 2009
LOL - yesterday
SouthernCub - May 25, 2009
oh, how soon I forget:)
AzCubfan24 - May 25, 2009
"This is not the Gatorade machine you're looking for..."
Big Z is a Jedi.
zm1217 - May 25, 2009
OK bring
these two home.
sue369 - May 25, 2009
Good call, Sue!
Chris Dobbertean - May 25, 2009
How long before the Dumpster tag gets re-attached to Ryan
$54 million for a pitcher who may never have an ERA under 4.75 again in his lifetime.
BLou - May 25, 2009
tisk tisk tisk
Chanman25 - May 25, 2009
Nice of you to show up.
zm1217 - May 25, 2009
No one cares
sue369 - May 25, 2009
$53,998,800.
$1200 for the Gatorade dispenser.
Seems like a much better contract now, hmmm, doesn’t it?
dtpollitt - May 25, 2009
Woot Riot
Ok, we need to get these guys in
chitownhawkeye - May 25, 2009
2nd and 3rd, no out.
zm1217 - May 25, 2009
that was a scrappy double
VegasCubFan - May 25, 2009
Scrappy double doo!
Hilary Lee - May 25, 2009
Nothin' scrappy about that one
Clutch16 - May 25, 2009
Yeah Milton...
the umps are out to get you. It’s their fault you just swung at a ball that hit you in the back leg…
mutleyil - May 25, 2009
You didn't see...
The umpire catch that ball and throw it in to milton’s leg? Because I did.
Hilary Lee - May 25, 2009
Is the Umps name...
Jeff Gillooly?
Holy crap…MIlton got a hit…I will now set myself on fore…
mutleyil - May 25, 2009
that's betrter than on fire ;-)
sue369 - May 25, 2009
I was hedging...
:-)
mutleyil - May 25, 2009
lol
sue369 - May 25, 2009
whered bradley foul it off?
cubswgnrocks - May 25, 2009
Bradley hurt in batters box -- but not too much.
Count is 1-2
zevkalman - May 25, 2009
hurt just enough
chitownhawkeye - May 25, 2009
Bradley, come on
I will respect you as a hitter if you can bring these guys in
Chanman25 - May 25, 2009
Keep your word
sue369 - May 25, 2009
you bet!
for the moment
Chanman25 - May 25, 2009
he's
waiting.
drewishdrewid - May 25, 2009
Read my comment below :P
Chanman25 - May 25, 2009
don't make Bobby Scales have to stare you down
VegasCubFan - May 25, 2009
i.e: The Cobra!!
VegasCubFan - May 25, 2009
Nice MB!
kanderber - May 25, 2009
Bradley doubles!
Sori scores, Riot scores. TIE GAME!
drewishdrewid - May 25, 2009
HOO HA!

VegasCubFan - May 25, 2009
Again.
I can haz leed plz?
Clutch16 - May 25, 2009
Tie game.
yajohn - May 25, 2009
Hello, Mr. Bradley!
SouthernCub - May 25, 2009
DOUBLE FOR GAMEBOARD
3-3
dtpollitt - May 25, 2009
finally!!!
Bradley earns some respect
Chanman25 - May 25, 2009
Nice!
We have more than 2 runs and its only the 3rd inning!
cubswgnrocks - May 25, 2009
Thats my MILTON!!!!!!!!!
AzCubfan24 - May 25, 2009
thank you, sir!
Emelie - May 25, 2009
That's the drive we like to see!
chitownhawkeye - May 25, 2009
Morgan is REALLY far into LCF...
very strange against Bradley facing a guy who doesn’t have big velocity.
SouthernCub - May 25, 2009
GOOOOO MIIIIIIILLLLLLLLLLLTTTOOOOOOOOOOONNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mr.Cub - May 25, 2009
Quality AB right there
now drive his arse in!
AzCubfan24 - May 25, 2009
Cliff “Reed Johnson” Yahoo sacrifices Bradley to third.
drewishdrewid - May 25, 2009
A lead!
A freakin’ lead!
Clutch16 - May 25, 2009
Hello, Soto!
yajohn - May 25, 2009
SO TO!
AzCubfan24 - May 25, 2009
Soto
singles!
Here’s something we haven’t heard much.
CUBS LEAD.
drewishdrewid - May 25, 2009
it's scary sounding,....
but I like it!
VegasCubFan - May 25, 2009
GEO!!!!! 4-3
sue369 - May 25, 2009
And everyone gets in on the fun
SouthernCub - May 25, 2009
hurray!
a lead…a lead…holy hell we have a lead!
Chanman25 - May 25, 2009
Got him moved over at least.
FInally getting some good contact, not these weak grounders…
And Soto brings him in!!!
chitownhawkeye - May 25, 2009
MY MAN!
Emelie - May 25, 2009
ahem...OUR man.....:D
sue369 - May 25, 2009
plenty
of Soto to go round, ladies…
drewishdrewid - May 25, 2009
That's kinda the problem, no?
Clutch16 - May 25, 2009
I thought
the problem was that he was too juicy. o.0
drewishdrewid - May 25, 2009
ummmmm
no comment there
Cubbie-Tim - May 25, 2009
Only Mr. Blabbermouth
thinks that.
sue369 - May 25, 2009
A "lead"?
What is this strange four-letter word? Will I be banned for saying it?
Chris Dobbertean - May 25, 2009
shhhhh
chitownhawkeye - May 25, 2009
It is allowed in the rulebook, apparently.
Say it loud, say it proud
Clutch16 - May 25, 2009
ZOMG ROLFCOPTER
4 RUNS IN A SINGLE GAME
MY HEADS GONNA SPLODE
dtpollitt - May 25, 2009
heh...heh...heh...
Chanman25 - May 25, 2009
Way to bounce back after a tough inning...
crooked numbers!
SouthernCub - May 25, 2009
GEO ROCK ON!
Mr.Cub - May 25, 2009
Do you guys think I have a problem when my iphone actually corrects the spelling of my curse words?
AzCubfan24 - May 25, 2009
I remember back when I had a Razr...
and the predictive text actually predicted mine.
Chris Dobbertean - May 25, 2009
only if it corrects them correctly.
VegasCubFan - May 25, 2009
Hit the little 'x' :P
Clutch16 - May 25, 2009
lol
seeing how most curse words are pretty short, that’s not a good sign.
chitownhawkeye - May 25, 2009
Come on, Hoff!
Chris Dobbertean - May 25, 2009
Hoff
moves Soto to second. Two outs.
drewishdrewid - May 25, 2009
Where's that ledge that I was just standing on? I can't find it anymore.
zevkalman - May 25, 2009
You jumped, din'cha?
Clutch16 - May 25, 2009
amazing how one inning can make you feel a whole lot better
Chanman25 - May 25, 2009
Amazing what putting up a couple of runs in one inning can do.
chitownhawkeye - May 25, 2009
3 runs!
Don’t be denigratin’
Clutch16 - May 25, 2009
cmon freel
keep it goin
cubswgnrocks - May 25, 2009
Ahhhh, I love the Cubs.
Random Cubbie love.
zm1217 - May 25, 2009
C'mon Cubbies!!!
Jimmyeatworld - May 25, 2009
73 pitches for Maholm already. That's pretty good.
zevkalman - May 25, 2009
no cork...
in freel’s broken bat
12to23to17 - May 25, 2009
My roommate just called to congratulate me
on scoring 4 runs. He’s a White Sox fan. I felt so proud of our 4 runs.
dtpollitt - May 25, 2009
Nothing to be ashamed of.
zm1217 - May 25, 2009
It's a cute fuzzy little thing
That you must cherish and take care of… like a tribble…
Hilary Lee - May 25, 2009
let's go cubbies, let's go
When’s the last time we scored more than one run in an inning?
Mr.Cub - May 25, 2009
Yesterday on Reed's 2-run homer
VegasCubFan - May 25, 2009
Whoops I mean 3 runs.
Mr.Cub - May 25, 2009
Alright.
Let’s settle down, Demp, and get a quick inning here.
drewishdrewid - May 25, 2009
demp's
getting squeezed
12to23to17 - May 25, 2009
cant really say he deserves to get the close calls right now
AzCubfan24 - May 25, 2009
eh that looked like strike three
Chanman25 - May 25, 2009
fucking ump
those last three balls were strikes, how the hell weren;’t they called that
Chanman25 - May 25, 2009
Worked that way last inning.
Blue doesn’t like the inside breaking stuff, apparently
Clutch16 - May 25, 2009
Cmon Demp!!!!!!
Mr.Cub - May 25, 2009
LAAAAAY out
reed
12to23to17 - May 25, 2009
Double is not his fault,
this guy should be on the bench now
Chanman25 - May 25, 2009
Demp thought Theriot was 5'11"
Clutch16 - May 25, 2009
E4?
Clutch16 - May 25, 2009
hometown scoring
no way
VegasCubFan - May 25, 2009
Way to go Miles, your playing for your defense
yet you still suck..
Chanman25 - May 25, 2009
That would have been a great play. Still and all, the ball did hit his glove, so he should've gotten it.
zevkalman - May 25, 2009
Miles
can’t make the catch. Tie game. Ron sounds like he’s about to strangle someone.
Preferably Miles.
drewishdrewid - May 25, 2009
I hope his lack of
concentration isn’t because of something new with his daughter.
sue369 - May 25, 2009
miles...
you ARE the weakest link!!! goodbye!
12to23to17 - May 25, 2009
C'mon Cubbies!!!
Jimmyeatworld - May 25, 2009
Does an error by a pitcher become an unearned run...
…or because it’s his error, is it still earned?
Also, if buttered toast always lands buttered-side up, and cats always land on its feet, what would happen if you strapped a piece of buttered toast, buttered-side up, to the back of a cat and threw it out a window?
dtpollitt - May 25, 2009
It's unearned.
zm1217 - May 25, 2009
If that wasn't sarcasm.
zm1217 - May 25, 2009
That is a great question!!!!! LOL!!!!
TennesseeCub - May 25, 2009
Buttered-toast + cat back == dynamo?
Clutch16 - May 25, 2009
I think we need to get myth busters on this asap
AzCubfan24 - May 25, 2009
Humane society, PETA, and everyone near the Cubs' bullpen would object.
Clutch16 - May 25, 2009
But hey...
at least Miles can bat .200 left-handed…
mutleyil - May 25, 2009
Why are you guys blaming Miles?
Are you watching the game?
kanderber - May 25, 2009
he looked dazzeled when trying to make the play
Chanman25 - May 25, 2009
frazzled*
Chanman25 - May 25, 2009
You mean the one...
where Aaron Miles just had an easy pop up glance off his glove? Yeah, that’s the game I’m watching…
mutleyil - May 25, 2009
exactly, Miles didn't allow the first batter to get all the way to third...
Jimmyeatworld - May 25, 2009
no...
but the inning should be over right now
12to23to17 - May 25, 2009
How do you figure that?
Jimmyeatworld - May 25, 2009
miles makes that catch and it's 3 outs...
actually if the ump hadn’t squeezed demp in the first AB of the inning the inning would be over w/ no damage
12to23to17 - May 25, 2009
exactly, Miles makes that catch and it's the first out of the inning...
If Demp was more consistent, and not getting squeezed is right.
Jimmyeatworld - May 25, 2009
Dempster has 78 pitches already. He won't last until the 7th at this rate.
zevkalman - May 25, 2009
Ascanio is up
Lou may not want him out of the inning..
Chanman25 - May 25, 2009
Dammit, Blue!
That was a freakin’ ball on a lefty, earlier. Consistency!
Clutch16 - May 25, 2009
I lost track.
Who is due up??
TennesseeCub - May 25, 2009
8,9,1
AzCubfan24 - May 25, 2009
Thx.
TennesseeCub - May 25, 2009
wah wah wah
waaaaaaahhhhhhhhh.
6-4 Pirates.
drewishdrewid - May 25, 2009

AzCubfan24 - May 25, 2009
How's the screen?
Clutch16 - May 25, 2009
Well The screen is doing ok
wall, eh, well…..
Chanman25 - May 25, 2009
Dempster is getting ripped apart out there
Mr.Cub - May 25, 2009
crisis of confidence
Emelie - May 25, 2009
GET HIM OUT OF THERE LOU!!!!!!!
TennesseeCub - May 25, 2009
Can't stand prosperity.
Chris Dobbertean - May 25, 2009
How many ways can Dempster lose this game for us????
FXDregs - May 25, 2009
Demp gives up 6 runs in less than 4 innings tonight.
zevkalman - May 25, 2009
Miles
Aaron Miles has absolutely no business being on a major league roster. None. Zero. Zilch. There are guys in every organization, at every minor league stop that are equal to his abysmal ability. He belongs on the waiver wire tomorrow and never should set foot on another major league field for one more day. He has done absolutely nothing to help this team and has only served to hurt them. End this misery and release him already.
krummy12 - May 25, 2009
ump is YELLING at demp
12to23to17 - May 25, 2009
Where's that ledge I was going to jump off of an hour ago?
zevkalman - May 25, 2009
This ump can shut his piehole
He’s been terrible. Miles, Freel, neither of these guys belong in a starting lineup.
BeltwayCubsFan - May 25, 2009
That was number 3 on McLouth!
Mr.Cub - May 25, 2009
Dempster = Shower…..NOW!!!!!
FXDregs - May 25, 2009
Another great Hendry signing
Fifty million dollars for THIS guy?
bluekoolaide - May 25, 2009
Hendry buys high.
zevkalman - May 25, 2009
And will definitely sell LOW...
that’s all he knows. Seriously, can you imagine this clown working for ANY other MLB organization? I’d bet no one has turned more into less than him…except for Brian Cashman.
mutleyil - May 25, 2009
I gotta get some work done..
will check back later.. hopefully to find a better scoreline…
CubFanInCanberra (9387milesfromWrigley) - May 25, 2009
C-ya
sue369 - May 25, 2009
Hey ump, why don't you call a fucking strike for a change?
Chanman25 - May 25, 2009
Fuck this ump.
That ball was definitely low, but he seriously takes his mask off in that situation? F him.
kanderber - May 25, 2009
drewishdrewid - May 25, 2009
QUICK
Hide any gatorade machines!
Hilary Lee - May 25, 2009
Round 2 with the gatorade machine?
AzCubfan24 - May 25, 2009
Than god
that’s over. Now get that run back.
sue369 - May 25, 2009
I'd rather have Demp with middling stuff stay in the game
than anyone in our bullpen. Figured that when offense finally “busted out” our SP would turn in a crap performance.
BeltwayCubsFan - May 25, 2009
I'm off to dinner with friends ... hope there's no more adventures in driving along the way
this learning to drive business is tricky!
Go Cubs…. please?
Emelie - May 25, 2009
Have fun!
AzCubfan24 - May 25, 2009
Have fun Em.
sue369 - May 25, 2009
Let's get some back boys!
Mr.Cub - May 25, 2009
let demp bat this inning and
ANYTHING close called a strike, demp has permission to swing AT HP ump
12to23to17 - May 25, 2009
Unbelievable
We finally score some runs and the pitching falls apart on us.
Somehow I’m starting to get the feeling that this isn’t the year.
bluekoolaide - May 25, 2009
Dempster was was shit tonight before those calls...
and he was shit after. 75% of Umps blow chunks today…he needs to deal with it…
mutleyil - May 25, 2009
did you make that up?
or is that a legit stat
Chanman25 - May 25, 2009
You're right...
I should have said “A LOT.”
Now some stats geek will ask me to statistically prove that 75% suck…
mutleyil - May 25, 2009
Miles
the only way he can get to first is when strike three is a passed ball.
drewishdrewid - May 25, 2009
Yeah, kinda pathetic, huh?
zevkalman - May 25, 2009
haha well if thats how you can get on Miles, sure
Chanman25 - May 25, 2009
did anyone else yell " RUN F&*CKER!" ?
AzCubfan24 - May 25, 2009
Alright, Miles reaches on an error, good start.
Jimmyeatworld - May 25, 2009
We'll take 4 outs
Clutch16 - May 25, 2009
Nice swing Miles, somehow a base outa that crap?
FXDregs - May 25, 2009
flu is no match
for bobby
12to23to17 - May 25, 2009
Please release him
Someone knock some sense into Hendry and release that midge. He’s just plain awful.
krummy12 - May 25, 2009
hey hey, us shorties are offended by such a term!
I am going to call the NAALP on this!
Chanman25 - May 25, 2009
Well
If it results in Miles’ release within the next six hours, I’m all for it.
krummy12 - May 25, 2009
National Association for the Advancement of Little People, that is
We respect the likes of James Madison et al.
Chanman25 - May 25, 2009
when he said "midge" I think he meant the flies that attacked Joba
AzCubfan24 - May 25, 2009
Dude, you and your chorus of negative nabobs are gettin old.
EVERY time there is a play that Miles comes close to you sound like drunks at a bar trying to one up each other on the yuk-yuks… It’s tiresome.
Jimmyeatworld - May 25, 2009
Agreed
sue369 - May 25, 2009
Look at that
Miles can’t even strike out like a major leaguer
Hilary Lee - May 25, 2009
Miles looked shocked as hell to be at first.
TennesseeCub - May 25, 2009
he SHOULD looked shocked as hell
to be wearing #7
12to23to17 - May 25, 2009
It was a new experience for him.
zevkalman - May 25, 2009
Sori could tie this up
Chanman25 - May 25, 2009
Yes he *could*
Clutch16 - May 25, 2009
82 pitches for Maholm. Just sayin.
zevkalman - May 25, 2009
I hate freddy sanchez
And he’s on the fantasy team i’m up against this week. Fuck you Freddy!
Hilary Lee - May 25, 2009
can we trade miles for him? let's throw in aaron heilman too.
zevkalman - May 25, 2009
Sanchez is a beast tonight!
TennesseeCub - May 25, 2009
Riot is a beast tonight too.
zevkalman - May 25, 2009
riot
switch the HR power back on
12to23to17 - May 25, 2009
Riot
another double. 6-5 now.
drewishdrewid - May 25, 2009
RIOT!!!!
sue369 - May 25, 2009
Theriot hits THREE Doubles tonight
holy barnacles!
Chanman25 - May 25, 2009
Helluva game for The Riot!
kanderber - May 25, 2009
warning track power that is
12to23to17 - May 25, 2009
How long will it take for them to plant the LF on the line?
AzCubfan24 - May 25, 2009
Theriot!!!!!!!
FXDregs - May 25, 2009
3-3 with 3 doubles!
Riot’s working the wood!
Clutch16 - May 25, 2009
Cubs lead!
yajohn - May 25, 2009
BRADLEY
HUGE TWO RUN HOME RUN!!!!!
7-6!
drewishdrewid - May 25, 2009
Fantasy
If fantasy included stats geared towards failure, Miles would be Pujols.
krummy12 - May 25, 2009
Here's a suggestion
why don’t you cheer for the team who just took the lead instead of coming in here bitching all the god damn time.
sue369 - May 25, 2009
YES!!!!!!!!!
FXDregs - May 25, 2009
MILTON!!!!!!! 7-6
sue369 - May 25, 2009
MMMMIIIIIIILLLLLTTTTTOOOOONNNNNNN
AzCubfan24 - May 25, 2009
GAMEBOARD!!!!!
WOOOT!!!!
Chris Dobbertean - May 25, 2009
BRADLEY
I LOVE YOU MAN, YOUR MY MAN, YOU’VE EARNED MY FUCKING RESPECT BABY!
Chanman25 - May 25, 2009
Holy S#!T
GateCity, VA Cubs Fan - May 25, 2009
will 7 runs
win this game???
12to23to17 - May 25, 2009
Now that Demp is gone
Maybe
Hilary Lee - May 25, 2009
Not in the fourth inning.
TennesseeCub - May 25, 2009
It's good to be home!!!!!!!
TennesseeCub - May 25, 2009
Amen
cabulen - May 25, 2009
Amen and hallelujah.
zevkalman - May 25, 2009
Who wants to bag on Game now?
Jimmyeatworld - May 25, 2009
This game
is making my head hurt.
Villeslgr - May 25, 2009
Wow that ball was MASHED!
kanderber - May 25, 2009
Braaaaaaddddddddllllleeeeeeeeeyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mr.Cub - May 25, 2009
Oh it feels so good
to cheer again!!!
ambrosiadreams - May 25, 2009
makes me giddy even :D
sue369 - May 25, 2009
Another lead!
I kinda like this top of the order.
Clutch16 - May 25, 2009
I like this versus lefties.
zm1217 - May 25, 2009
We like facing Pirates pitching
:-D
Allie - May 25, 2009
YYYYYYYYES!
MILTON!
zm1217 - May 25, 2009
I walked in just as Riot hit a double.
and Milton goes to Sheffield. Awesome!
Allie - May 25, 2009
+100
sue369 - May 25, 2009
Milton officially over the Mendoza line!!!!
AzCubfan24 - May 25, 2009
This is the first time...
I support Milton Bradley getting angry. He keeps giving us the lead, and our pittchers keep f’ing it up. THREATEN TO KILL THEM MILTON!!!
mutleyil - May 25, 2009
Maybe he can
Pull an Elijah Dukes
Hilary Lee - May 25, 2009
have six illigitimate kids?
Chanman25 - May 25, 2009
I, for one night, can eat crow concerning Bradley
Chanman25 - May 25, 2009
good to see
some smiles in the dugout…but they were smiling last inning too…
come on bullpen
12to23to17 - May 25, 2009
Man, it makes me so happy to see our boys actually smiling in the dugout.
AzCubfan24 - May 25, 2009
THE BATS ARE ALIVE!!!!!!!!
TennesseeCub - May 25, 2009
WEE CAN SCOR RUUUNS?
dtpollitt - May 25, 2009
Shocking, I say.
Clutch16 - May 25, 2009
hah, you seem ecstatic
Chanman25 - May 25, 2009
Man, what a great game.
Mr.Cub - May 25, 2009
As long as I don't see Heilman or Cotts for the entire game :-)
zevkalman - May 25, 2009
Sort of off topic...
Since live where I can only watch the Cubs on WGN or ESPN, I don’t catch a lot of games on TV. How long has that Gatorade dispenser that Dumpster punched been in the dugout?
ryan89 - May 25, 2009
Just this year I believe.
AzCubfan24 - May 25, 2009
new this season
12to23to17 - May 25, 2009
they put it in this last offseason
they talked about it on opening day
Allie - May 25, 2009
It has been there for a while....
You need Direct TV. I have missed one game because of blackout all season so far.
TennesseeCub - May 25, 2009
same here
sue369 - May 25, 2009
that was the STL/cubs game last week right?
12to23to17 - May 25, 2009
That's the one.
TennesseeCub - May 25, 2009
live in memphis and was wondering why that one was blacked out
SURELY it sold out, right???
i don’t see why memphis locale should be blocked from a STL game…
12to23to17 - May 25, 2009
don't use logic on blackout rules
nothing makes sense.
Allie - May 25, 2009
prolly will need a new one after demp tatooed it
12to23to17 - May 25, 2009
Thanks!
So are they going to drop the whole machine on Lou at the October?
ryan89 - May 25, 2009
who is Dumpster?
Chanman25 - May 25, 2009
Chad Gaudin
Allie - May 25, 2009
hahahah
Chanman25 - May 25, 2009
Dear Pen, have a great game, OK????
FXDregs - May 25, 2009
yes please
sue369 - May 25, 2009
you know, this could easily be turned into one of those famed jokes on this board
but, I’ll keep it classy..
Chanman25 - May 25, 2009
Ascanio, you can get a freebie win here if you can just get at least one out!
Chanman25 - May 25, 2009
would be nice to see ascanio
post a good outing. I like the user icon Sue. Are you from Iowa?
SotoRiot - May 25, 2009
Yes I am.

sue369 - May 25, 2009

SotoRiot - May 25, 2009

Jimmyeatworld - May 25, 2009

sue369 - May 25, 2009

Jimmyeatworld - May 25, 2009
Obligatory "Iowa Sucks, Go Badgers" comment.
dtpollitt - May 25, 2009
Obligatory
Agreement with you, with a qualified add of “Go Wildcats, except when playing the Badgers”
Hilary Lee - May 25, 2009
BOOOOO!!
sue369 - May 25, 2009
Sorry, had to do it.
Then again, the Badgers football and men’s basketball teams are going to be VERY bad next year. Soak it up.
dtpollitt - May 25, 2009
It's a Tiger Hawk, courtesy of Hayden Fry...
Jimmyeatworld - May 25, 2009
Yep
I am, born and raised. I long for the days of Hayden Fry again…
SotoRiot - May 25, 2009
Where in Iowa?
sue369 - May 25, 2009
Ascanio, please no HBP!
Allie - May 25, 2009
Hey! I just realized that I am almost at my 10K post on this board
exciting stuff!
Chanman25 - May 25, 2009
wo0t
sue369 - May 25, 2009
I mean I'm pretty excited
Chanman25 - May 25, 2009
You should be.
sue369 - May 25, 2009
mmhmm
Chanman25 - May 25, 2009
i think you can tell I'm trying to reach it before night's end :P
Chanman25 - May 25, 2009
I have no
doubt you will make it.
sue369 - May 25, 2009
10K...
how many miles is 10K
:)
12to23to17 - May 25, 2009
haha, 6.2
I actually ran one last weekend, and lets just say, it was pretty ugly, considering I had NO prep for it
Chanman25 - May 25, 2009
The bats came alive...
but we need 5 innings from the Pen. Talk about karma…
mutleyil - May 25, 2009
It's a bitch.
TennesseeCub - May 25, 2009
As a wise bumper sticker once said...
My dogma ran over my karma…
mutleyil - May 25, 2009
When did Ascanio start wearing Gregg's goggles?
Is this new? Or am I confused?
Allie - May 25, 2009
well shit, our offense finally starts to do well
but now our pitching sucks?
Chanman25 - May 25, 2009
Cotts is warming
Just so’s you feel better.
Clutch16 - May 25, 2009
meh..
Chanman25 - May 25, 2009
Could Marshall come in?
Chanman25 - May 25, 2009
OUCH!!!!!! Base Loaded
FXDregs - May 25, 2009
Crap...
Cotts is up…
ryan89 - May 25, 2009
NO! NOT COTTS!
Hilary Lee - May 25, 2009
Cotts is up in the pen
God I hope Ascanio gets out of it!
Allie - May 25, 2009
The words of death...
“Neal Cotts is up!”
mutleyil - May 25, 2009
Assuming fetal position...NOW
Chris Dobbertean - May 25, 2009
I was wrong...
“Neal Cotts is in the game” are the words of death. Thankfully, we didn’t need him…yet…
mutleyil - May 25, 2009
YES
POP UP!
SotoRiot - May 25, 2009
Popped him up!!
1 more. Please.
Allie - May 25, 2009
Craig "I hope the fans don't realize I am a former Cub and don't boo me" Monroe up
Chanman25 - May 25, 2009
When the hell was Craig Monroe (Craig Monroe?!) on our team??
dtpollitt - May 25, 2009
2007
acquired from the TIgers
Allie - May 25, 2009
really??
what’d we give to get him?
Chanman25 - May 25, 2009
claimed off waivers
AFAIK… i don’t think we gave up anything memorable.
Allie - May 25, 2009
Man I don't remember that at all.
I mustva been drunk.
dtpollitt - May 25, 2009
I only remember
cuz he hit a HR against the Marlins… in one of those horrible series in SFla that year.
Allie - May 25, 2009
I want to say 06...
Chanman25 - May 25, 2009
2007 - late acquisition
yajohn - May 25, 2009
We are not
getting that corner tonight
SotoRiot - May 25, 2009
That was a strike
Hilary Lee - May 25, 2009
Where did THAT miss?
Allie - May 25, 2009
That looked like a strike.
sue369 - May 25, 2009
replace "looked like" with "was"
Chanman25 - May 25, 2009
This ump sucks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TennesseeCub - May 25, 2009
They got out of it! WOW!
drewishdrewid - May 25, 2009
Wow is right...
Jimmyeatworld - May 25, 2009
Oh dear lord
Nearly had a heart attack
Hilary Lee - May 25, 2009
thank goodness.
zevkalman - May 25, 2009
Woot!
yajohn - May 25, 2009
whew!!!!
More runs please
sue369 - May 25, 2009
thank god
that was close. Another bad call, and Dempster would have treated the ump’s head like the gatorade machine
SotoRiot - May 25, 2009
Out of it!
No damage. Whew!
Clutch16 - May 25, 2009
I've never been so happy to see Cliff!!
Allie - May 25, 2009
Thank God!!!
Cotts didn’t get into the game…(yet)
TennesseeCub - May 25, 2009

cabulen - May 25, 2009

12to23to17 - May 25, 2009
Secretary of the Treasury, Salmon P. Chase
Chanman25 - May 25, 2009
Now!

Allie - May 25, 2009
I hate when
our neighbors do that. It’s annoying as hell.
sue369 - May 25, 2009
Lilly and Rothschild tossed?
sue369 - May 25, 2009
sounds like it
good to see some fire from the bench!
Allie - May 25, 2009
rothschild back in the dugout
cabulen - May 25, 2009
wait what?
Lilly got tossed?
CubFanInCanberra (9387milesfromWrigley) - May 25, 2009
Len said Lilly
and Rothschild were out on the field yelling at the ump and Len thought they had been tossed but doesn’t sound like it now.
sue369 - May 25, 2009
