Thanks for the jump, Sue.
Thanks for the Jump Sue
You are both welcome!
Thanks for the jump Susie Q.
any time Jimmy :D
marmol thread!!!!
Marmol in to pitch

Fuld stays in Center, Fonty playing third.

LaRoche at the plate, Moss on deck., LaRoche in the hole.

0-2 on LaRoche.

Sam Fuld in the outfield. Good.
Bounced to riot

one out.

len sounded so surprised when he said 0-2

Let’s see if Fuld comes up in a crucial spot later……..

Let's see if his defense helps us out a bit here...
Moss to the plate.
Fly ball to deep left

Soriano BACKPEDALS TOWARDS THE WALL, and makes the catch. Two outs.

moss flies out to fonzie

Sori caught it without diving
[What a lackluster effort]

( [ ] = the braces of sarcasm)

So what... did Freel actually start in CF today?
You are correct, sir
yes

Freel started in CF. Fuld pinch ran for Fox and then double switched out, with Fonty coming in to play 3rd.

sorry...

misread freel for fuld…my bad

Not to be picky...

But both Freel and Farney started in CF today.

So Fonty

and Fuld replaced Freel, Farny and Fox?

that's a lot of effin center fielders...
Good alliteration there....or should I say "Freakin' good alliteration.
So RJ is still day to day with the back?

And a LH started for Pitt I take it.

he's on the DL.

Duke pitched, and Dome has not been handling that well.

Marmol

may be dealing here. Another strike on the other LaRoche.

Nice inning for Marmol
Marmol throwing strikes..
quick inning..yesssss
Fly ball to right

Bradley at the track, makes the catch. that was what, five pitches? Six?

THREE OUTS! NO WALKS! ON TO THE 9TH!

woooooo gj marmolade

Is Bradley hopping now too?

Please tell me I didn’t see that right

Hey

3 up 3 down for White Kastle

That's odd - White Castles usually go down first, then up... ;-)
Brewers seem to someone on base in every inning.
I call "under" on marmol .. too late?
go back and look at my post

ill take credit for marmols eight inning lol

Good call.. I hope that holds up for a few weeks at least
Whew...

that’s what we’ve been missing from Marmol.

Is Marmol doing something different?

He usually either strikes people out, or walks them.

This time, they all hit the ball. Weird…

who is watching

how did his delivery look? Is he falling off to the left still?

only 1 ball

just hope he stays consistent like that

It'd be nice if the fly balls were just a tad shorter, but otherwise I'd take it
We need Marmol to be his old self to have any chance at this division..that was nice to see
How about letting marmol close the game.
Nope

I’m letting Gregg finish it

i wouldnt push it

Chavez in to pitch for Pittsburgh

94 MPH strike on Bradley. Gregg up in the pen.

Bradley

line drive, bounces off of LaRoche’s glove, to Sanchez, who makes the throw to Chavez. 3-4-1 put out. Bradley got robbed. He TURNED on that fastball.

Hoffpauir to the plate. One out.

Hi everybody.

Been vaguely around last two weeks; marathon & wedding. Glad to be back in the game threads. Puh-lease beat the Pirates.

Welcome - pass be a beer
Drinking a Mich Gold Light right now...
Ohh... I'll get back to you on that.

I was hoping for something with more calories

Hey dan!

Hope the marathon went well

I PRed! It was great.
My high school coach always preached PR's

PR’s were all he ever wanted from everyone, its really a good way to go.

My goal: FINISH
so how long does a marathon wedding last?
Danny boy! Hungry yet?
Cheating on you, Jimbo.

Eating Chipolte now.

Well now, my boss isn't going to be happy...
I too

have learned to love the Chipotle.

It's wonderful. I agree.
but we still

get JJ at least once a month, man.

Good. My shop will go on...
Bradley hitting today..
2-4

and he got robbed on that last one.

buster bradley broing it up with dlee

And...Casey McGeehee

just hit a grand slam for the Brewers.

Well ain't that a kick in the ass
It was a very ANGRY GS.

He made a big error in the top of the inning @ 3B. He dropped a lazy pop-up, and hit the CRAP outta that ball, deep to center.

I'll have to catch it in highlights

Congrats on the PR – great feeling, huh?

when you miss catching a popup youre not supposed to get the runs back

guess he missed that memo

atoned for his error?
he gave

the Mets two runs when he missed a catch.

Hoff

Ks. Clutche weeps.

and Erin has moved on to McGeehee...
fickle

b@tch.

slap that @ss for TheHoff....
ex cub mcghee

just attoned for his E5 last inning…GS HR brewers 7 mets 2

Blanco fouling them away. 0-2.

Blanco Ks

three outs. Gregg in to pitch the bottom of the 9th!

C'mon Stinky Ben!!
Could we actually get a win scoring <4 tonight?
DO NOT JINX IT!
Did I say that? It must have been someone else..
Gregg on the mound

Jaramillo not batting. Delwyn Young pinch hitting. Swing and a miss, 0-1.

C'mon Gregg

make this quick.. I gotta leave for work real soon!!

just outside and high

1-2

SWING AND A MISS!

Young Ks! One out! Wilson to the plate.

strike one

fastball. 0-1.

Blanco hitting right around .250, .280 more recently

If he holds steady at .250, does he stay in the loop up here?

I'd keep him

ill take subpar o for superior d

Hell yes. Need his glove up the middle
lined towards right down the line

foul by a foot. cmon, Gregg. DOMINATE!

Nice gesture by that big kid to throw the ball to the little kid.
resounding "yes" from me
reply fail

that was to DisCUB’s question..

Caught it.. I'd like to see him around .270 with some bunts and SB's

but his glove is worth 30-50 BA points, IMO

agreed

he’s been very very solid defensively though.. which our infield has really needed

Blance is looking like a real asset

If he can hit .250, which is looking doable, btw the great glove and the rare ability to bunt, he could really help us.

curveball

low and away. 1-2.

low and away

2-2

just inside

full count. Argh.

Fly ball

to the right side. Blanco makes the catch. Two outs.

Hey all!

How goes the game?

hopefully..

you are just in time to fly your flag…

Just barely got back here.

I thought I might not make the end of the game.

Not bad...

Harden pitched out of some jams, Bradley looked good at the plate. And drama free!

How did we score?

Theriot HR, but how else?

Bradley doubled in a run
My mind went blank on...

Who plated the first inning run.

Bradley

pushed in the first run, Blanco the second, I think.

I thought it was the other way around
I can't remember
Blanco singled to score Fox in the 1st...

Theriot homered in the 3rd, Bradley doubled in Soto in the 4th.

it wasn't the first

because I was already paying attention, and I missed the whole first inning.

You're right...

The Blanco RBI was the 2nd.

Eric Hinske

pinch hits.

Almost....there!!!
stay on target

stay on target!

Cmon stinky gregg
Cardinals still down 4-0?

Seems like they sent the cubs their hitting karma.

Dero

is putting the hex on them

I like that..

That “Great Derosa Curse”.

I don't want to damper the mood but

Bradley got an RBI!!!!!! He’s back!!!!!

ehh i wouldnt say hes back until he does it consistently. same goes for marmol

0-1 on Hinksy

SWING and a miss. TWO STRIKES!

ok, one more.....just one more out
low and inside

2-2

the pitch...

fouled away. still 2-2

Gregg, Hinske, Soto... there's some serious poundage going on there.
ball three

just outside.

FULL COUNT.

Cubs win!

YES!!!!!!!

Cubs win!!!!

That’s more like it…… Go Cubs go…….

FULD MAKES THE CATCH! CUBS WIN! CUBS WIN! CUBS WIN!!!!!

Gonna pick-up...

….a game today!

Go Cubs, Go!
Go Cubs, Go!!!

Just what this team needed

A businesslike, drama-free win. Good starting pitching and 6-up, 6-down from Marmol and Gregg. The bats shut down after the fourth, but Duke is pretty damn good.

CUBS WIN!!

We needed that so bad

nice road win...

now let’s keep the momentum going tomorrow

Rich was so efficient today!!!!!
THAT FEELS GOOD!!! NICE JOB TONIGHT CUBBIES

STARTER DID WELL, BP SHOWED UP!!

vintage harden ohh yeah

And the Giants are leading in St. Louis, 4-0, top 6.

This is still anyone’s division!

c'mon lincecum

and mets closing in on milw…let’s pick up a game on ’em

maybe DeRo can hit the Cardinals to 10 games below .500

…his talent didn’t stop the swoon in Cleveland.

Meanwhile, elsewhere on BCB, the NUMB abides...

oh, and he responds too. Crack me up…

it's already deleted

I could have sworn I saw a post that said that the Cubs had been given first shot at DeRosa, but now it’s gone.

yeah, I saw that earlier too.

Good. Nice to see some gentle policing going on…

Wow...

Thank God for the Pirates

ummmm...

only game one. let’s keep these type of comments to a minimum until the Cubs are heading out of town.

we need to be absorbing good Karma, not sending it away.

Like this?
maybe DeRo can hit the Cardinals to 10 games below .500

Shut up. And when you’re done, shut up some more.

Worf is back! Telling people to shut it, and everything...
Chris Perez is great

just gave up a 4 run inning to the sox

meh... you could have predicted that was going to happen.

the next appearance will be interesting, to see how he responds.

night all, its a good'un

some decent baseball was played tonight

Hey everyone!

Quick game means quick recap.

Recap posted already.

Goodnight! Nice win!
