Rami

fouls another one off.

ty for linky
Fulchino looks like a complete goober in

his gameday picture.

Good AB for Rami
OT: IRS says I owe an additional 1300. Need Cubs to cheer me up
Couldn't you just hide from them?

Move to Alaska or something…

you live in Alaska now

home of the Wealth Spread.

you can just walk to russia from alaska
can you shoot a moose

and offer them the meat as an offset?

BOOOOOO

As someone who had to pay (A LOT) for the first time ever this year, I feel your pain.

Yep. I gave them a boatload on 4/15 oh well
get a job at the white house
Don't pay...you can get a cabinet post maybe!
i just finished paying $2300

i know the pain

thank goodness those tax breaks for the middle class will kick in next year.
[self deleted due to overt political statement}
let me guess - "Santo For The Hall Of Fame!"
nope, Al wouldn't like me anymore

BTW agree 100%

then it must've been "Trade For Brian Roberts!"

lol

Thanks guys. I knew you'd cheer me up :-D
The IRS sent us

a check for $101.50 and on the same day sent us a statement saying we owed them $101.58. The 8 cents was the interest on the 101.50 we owed.

ROFL! Oh Dear.
That sucks Em.
that sucks

maybe you can just give it to me? I just discovered I can get all mine back thanks to the Midwestern Disaster thing..

if it goes to you I won't feel so bad
I'm a poor grad student

So at least something is going my way. Tho I have a feeling I will not see the money for a LONG time.

ANOTHER foul ball

for Rami.

Nice battle here.
who will have pitched

the 9th for us? heilman?

Scales
One can dream?
Retire. His. Number.
Is there an honor higher? Cause thats what he deserves
Gregg

I would hope. It’s a save situation, and I have a bet, you see…

the closer... in a save opp?

Shirley, you’re kidding!

no, I'm not

and don’t call me Shirley!

Be glad I didn't call you Shirely

I can’t type tonight.

she can call you what ever she wants

and you can’t stop her LOL

Rami

grounds out to shot. Three outs. On to the bottom of the ninth!

Kevin Gregg time
Gregg coming in?
this will technically be a save situation

so lou will not bring in aaron, i suppose

Rami's gotta be out of gas now.

Hope Lou doesn’t bench him tomorrow…..

Good battle from Rami there

11 pitch AB.

Rami

NICE PLAY! One out!

Nice pick ARam!
Rami showing some leather
Rami is obviously not out of gas.
of course not

there are a lot of Mexican eateries in Houston

Hope he doesn't take in any cockfights tonight!
twss
OK, THAT was funny
Yep. Looks great
Jason Michael

pinch hitting for the Strohs. Gathright in center for the cubs, Johnson to right. I presume Sori is still in left, or maybe the Cubs have pulled the goalie.

Strike one.

Yep, Sori's still in left.
Haha

Micahaels always makes me laugh cause when I google Jason Michaels (a genious comedy writer who interned at College Humor) he pops up and I have never known who he was
jason michaels college humor

He battles the pitcher, and makes a NICE play!

Way to go ARam!

best player on the team
Cable in to play CF
i hope that catches on

it makes me laugh.

why do we call him that again?
What does one use to jump a car?
What do you use to jump a car?

Cables.

And thy aren’t good for anything else.

oh, right.

I’ll make a note of it. :P

Someone should put it in the dictionary.

Someone other than me. I’m lazy

I woulda

“COMMENTS FOR THIS POST ARE CLOSED”

someone light the AL beacon!
Damn

Someone wake Al up!

LOL

what jumps cars
/me bows

Thank ye, m’good lady

Gregg seems to be

dealing tonight. That’s good.

K! Two outs!

Gregg K's Michaels.
Does Gregg have a 1-2-3 inning yet this season?
Pretty sure not

He likes giving up that 1 walk.

Two outs, bottom nine, one to go!
Strike one

1-1 on Matsui

2-2

on Matsui. Wrigley is hopping!

Win!

That’s hilarious!

I love it!
Milton, the Renaissance Man!
You mean Vitruvian Man
you've been busy

in the offseason. I’m telling you—- coffee table book.

grounder to short

CUBS WIN! CUBS WIN! CUBS WIN!!!

CUBS WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!
Cubs Win!

Fly it

yeah baby, way to start the trip
love it when we win...
Great game everybody

Until tomorrow…have a great night

winnnnnnerrrrrrr
Gregg does well when he throws stirkes.

:-)

Yay! Back just in time to sing!

And with the rain as a backdrop...

I bid you all good night.

Is tomorrow's game on WGN?

Asks those of us out in Colorado country?

I can't believe how spoiled I was in Chicago... this sparse tv coverage just hurts
can you not get

extra innings or something?

I think my only option is to subscribe to MLB.TV.
not yet. Cable guy said they were going to carry some "baseball sort of channel" this summer
I don't think so

At least. Its not listed on Dish yet.

CSN+ it looks like
A great way to cheer up my night! Go Cubs!
flying the W

good game, see you all next time

Harden has

i wish i'd gotten to see him!

stupid comcast & night games.

Turn up the speakers, and click the flag!!!!!

This is not an exact duplication of Northsider's old flag, but it's as close as I could come
like I said before, Monty, a fine tribute!
We must thank Sanantonecub

He got me the wavy "W’ flag.

I like it

Well done!

Thanks

I’ll try to post it after every Cubs win, just like Northsider used to do.

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

FLY IT!!!

The Original

buy that man a White Castle!
I love that guy
I like Sarah Kustok
you must be desperado
Nah. I don't come from the Texas
we are getting into

a nice little rhythm

Night all.

Great game, see you tomorrow night.

night sue!
Good night gracy
'Night, sue!
alright everyone!

Good night, and we’ll see you tomorrow! GO CUBS GO!

night Drew
night drew
Another nice victory

Harden looked shaky early but dominant late. Offense in the first inning was all the Cubs needed. And they took advantage of some gifts.

Here’s hoping Lilly doesn’t get smacked around like he did last time in Houston and they get the sweep.

Pretty solid night

Quality start leads to a win for Harden
Cubs scored all the runs they needed in the first
bullpen actually held the lead
Gregg looks a bit better

I like winning

And I love when Kevin Gregg throws strikes.

1-2-3 is not a bad way to get your 5th save
Was this his first 1-2-3 inning?
Not sure

Seemed that way, though. It was kind of a shock to not see that lead-off walk.

Sure seems like it but actually

He pitched two awesome innings in a Cards game saving Marmol’s ass.

True.

Had forgotten about that. Had to put out Marmol’s fire and then shut ’em down in the 9th, as well.

He really was great in that outing

I hope we see more of that guy.

in 12.2 IP, he has had four 1-2-3 innings
Nope

I’ll take that

I still hate seeing all those guys LOB

but at least we’re getting them there, and pushed enough over. Nice game by Harden.

I think we clogged the bases too much tonight
You're right

Dusty :-P

Theriot - interesting note

He’s only the second player in the past 70 years to end a home run drought of at least 600 at-bats by homering in consecutive games, joining former Cub Gene Clines more than 30 years ago.
