cubsnlinux - May 4, 2009 reply

MJMars - May 4, 2009 reply

many thanks..I want to thank all those people who were with me all these years who really made this possible

cubsnlinux - May 4, 2009 reply

all the little people?

LT - May 4, 2009 reply

all the little and tiny ppl..who we don't talk about..

cubsnlinux - May 4, 2009 reply

Last!!

LT - May 4, 2009 reply

Great minds?

Clutch16 - May 4, 2009 reply

I wouldn't say that lol

LT - May 4, 2009 reply

Damn.

You beat me.

redward - May 4, 2009 reply

No like the picture

jkobus - May 4, 2009 reply

Yeah

I saw that and got a chill down my spine. There are better options that is for sure.

jajonez77 - May 4, 2009 reply

We can always count on you, Clutch. Thanks!

Emelie - May 4, 2009 reply

I think Len and Bob

just mentioned the Ankiel injury.

Couldn’t tell but that’s what it sounded like

northernsails - May 4, 2009 reply

Have not heard

What is this Ankiel injury you speak of?

jajonez77 - May 4, 2009 reply

ran head-first into the wall

chasing down a catch

northernsails - May 4, 2009 reply

He was catching a fly ball and ran head first into the wall

Couldnt get his hands up to brace

jkobus - May 4, 2009 reply

Ankiel overhustled in the outfield...

and now he might be looking at a trip to the DL. Worst of all, the Cards signed him to pitch, not chase balls in the outfield.

Jerry Mumphrey - May 4, 2009 reply

you get the hell out of here

right now

LT - May 4, 2009 reply

/sarcasm

LT - May 4, 2009 reply

Ankiel's hurt?

CaliCub - May 4, 2009 reply

faceplant into wall

carmen_fanzone - May 4, 2009 reply

yikers

CaliCub - May 4, 2009 reply

he wasnt upright either

he took it to the wall like a running back would

bheidge - May 4, 2009 reply

just like Pete Reiser

CaliCub - May 4, 2009 reply

and Bump Bailey.

santoswoodenlegs - May 4, 2009 reply

Dumb unnecessary play! Ankiel is a hitter...nothing else. He should know better than to try something like that!

santoswoodenlegs - May 4, 2009 reply

I see what you did there.

But it looks like it could be serious.

redward - May 4, 2009 reply

agreed

jkobus - May 4, 2009 reply

boy I hope not

Emelie - May 4, 2009 reply

3-0..Gregg always makes it interesting

cubsnlinux - May 4, 2009 reply

or is it 3-2

cubsnlinux - May 4, 2009 reply

Full count on Winn

carmen_fanzone - May 4, 2009 reply

Annnnnnnnnd he walks him

carmen_fanzone - May 4, 2009 reply

There's Gregg's one walk he's allowed before Lou goes ballistic

Clutch16 - May 4, 2009 reply

Walks suck

LT - May 4, 2009 reply

If you want to know what Dusty thinks....

MJMars - May 4, 2009 reply

Walk..what the heck? Walk to Winn?

cubsnlinux - May 4, 2009 reply

I thought he had Winn's #?

JCubson - May 4, 2009 reply

and StLouis is down 6-1 in the 9th...

MinnesotaFan - May 4, 2009 reply

Time for a DP

no TWSS allowed

LT - May 4, 2009 reply

I smell a DP!

JCubson - May 4, 2009 reply

For those

Not able to watch, MLB Network showing a look in right now…

DenverCub - May 4, 2009 reply

God damnit, come on Gregg

kanderber - May 4, 2009 reply

cubsnlinux - May 4, 2009 reply

Gregg has almost a walk per inning so far this year.

Not too cool.

zevkalman - May 4, 2009 reply

Full count

And we go back, Jack, and do it again.

Clutch16 - May 4, 2009 reply

Way to fight back Gregg!

kanderber - May 4, 2009 reply

MJMars - May 4, 2009 reply

Rich Aurellia, Cub killer, to PH

carmen_fanzone - May 4, 2009 reply

They boo Aurilia??

Huh?

kanderber - May 4, 2009 reply

Cub killer

Itchy - May 4, 2009 reply

doubt thats why.

im pretty sure most of the people there don’t know he’s a cub killer

aramis - May 4, 2009 reply

maybe because they wanted him here?

BoVandy - May 4, 2009 reply

Gregg = Drama

cubsnlinux - May 4, 2009 reply

Last gasp for SF is Rich Aurelia

Clutch16 - May 4, 2009 reply

Winn takes 2nd, defense indifference

carmen_fanzone - May 4, 2009 reply

I think the infield should have to actually shrug

For it to be tallied as such.

redward - May 4, 2009 reply

LOL

good one

CaliCub - May 4, 2009 reply

2B just looks at the ump and says, "Meh."

Clutch16 - May 4, 2009 reply

Gregg = Alfred hitchcock

cubsnlinux - May 4, 2009 reply

With a touch of Brian DePalma

CaliCub - May 4, 2009 reply

Just saw Ankiel faceplant the wall

on BBTN. Very nasty looking! He was moving though

northernsails - May 4, 2009 reply

northernsails, SWL. SWL, northernsails

At least he puts titles on them so you can collapse them.

Clutch16 - May 4, 2009 reply

I'm familiar with the man

I still couldn’t stop laughing

northernsails - May 4, 2009 reply

Why do you want the winning streak to stop?

santoswoodenlegs - May 4, 2009 reply

Good lord

Is that Demp’s head?

redward - May 4, 2009 reply

ROFL!!

I love the elephant thingie

Emelie - May 4, 2009 reply

upstaged by SWL again

but if you’re going to get upstaged, then get upstaged by the best. I always say.

CaliCub - May 4, 2009 reply

CaliCub - May 4, 2009 reply

dtpollitt - May 4, 2009 reply

This pic should be reserved for walkoffs.

santoswoodenlegs - May 4, 2009 reply

Hooray 4 inna row!

Emelie - May 4, 2009 reply

Month of May

is good for the Cubs so far.

sue369 - May 4, 2009 reply

Another nice victory

The Cubs took what they were given, and Dempster pitched a great game.

Nice to have this one in the pocket before they face LIncecum tomorrow.

Not Bruce Froemming - May 4, 2009 reply

Agreed. Now let's hope they slap Timmay around like a PS3 game tomorrow!

santoswoodenlegs - May 4, 2009 reply

Did they face him last season?

I remember when they rallied in the ninth to beat him in SF in 2007.

Not Bruce Froemming - May 4, 2009 reply

yep, I think they beat him last season

cubsnlinux - May 4, 2009 reply

Nope, he was 2-0 with a 2.57 ERA against us last year

Struck out 17 and walked only in 14 IP.

We’ve got our work cut out for us

BoVandy - May 4, 2009 reply

walked only 2 is what I meant

BoVandy - May 4, 2009 reply

so we faced him only twice last season?

cubsnlinux - May 4, 2009 reply

That's right

I remember the game against him in SF last season.

Not Bruce Froemming - May 4, 2009 reply

I kind of don't want to give Riot a day off....

carmen_fanzone - May 4, 2009 reply

I like Marshall's chances tomorrow

goodstuff96 - May 4, 2009 reply

Oh, you know

I just LOVE how the cameramen ALWAYS seem to find that 1908 flag flapping in the breeze after practically EVERY single game.

northernsails - May 4, 2009 reply

2.5 back of the Cards now...

carmen_fanzone - May 4, 2009 reply

I wish the Pirates could have hung on.

They’ve lost 17 straight against the Brewers now. Oh the ineptitude

BoVandy - May 4, 2009 reply

wow..TheRiot is carrying us right now with his power..who would have thought? looks like the Kentucky Derby last weekend

cubsnlinux - May 4, 2009 reply

I got here late but....

its quiet in here. Must not be anything to complain about tonight.

goodstuff96 - May 4, 2009 reply

nobody commented on my Spock picture! WAAH

CaliCub - May 4, 2009 reply

I thought it was an ad for the new movie

Seriously I like it though

goodstuff96 - May 4, 2009 reply

aww, t'warnt nuthin....

CaliCub - May 4, 2009 reply

no there is. The pirates failed to hang on and lost 17 straight against the crew

cubsnlinux - May 4, 2009 reply

I just saw the articles on ESPN

I see that Z is going on the DL….I’ve tweaked a hammy myself, and it’s no fun. I do hope Ankiel is ok though. I don’t like seeing anybody get hurt and have to leave the game like that
