First!

No arguing about it, you knuckleheads.

Hey that was cheating!

For that you don’t get the year supply of maple syrup

Wow, harsh penalty
vermont will give you his clutch 'cause he's got plenty in vermont
thank GOD...

i thought someone was gonna snap an achille’s as i held BCBer’s back on the last thread

:P

I say again, Hell yes
I LOVE THE SMELL OF VICTORY IN THE AFTERNOON!
Smells a little like broccoli cheddar soup

because that’s what I’m eating :)

Stimulus Run!
Turns me on.
Do we have to pay it back?
no, that's our grandchildren's problem
Riot SB
Wait - there wasn't actual bat contact there?

Phillips murdered that play

Steal Riot...
theriot steals second.

can derrek pick him up for another run?

And Theriot nabs second base, beats the throw
Has Theriot finally figured how to steal?
he's over the break even point for steals

he’s probably helped more than hurt with the SB attempts

OH YESS...

OH BOY!

Derrek LEE GOES DEEP 8-3
YESSSS!!!!!!!
Lee 2 Run HR!!!!!!

This one’s done folks

Dr. Egon Spengler: There’s something very important I forgot to tell you.
Dr. Peter Venkman: What?
Dr. Egon Spengler: Don’t cross the streams.
Dr. Peter Venkman: Why?
Dr. Egon Spengler: It would be bad.
Dr. Peter Venkman: I’m fuzzy on the whole good/bad thing. What do you mean, “bad”?
Dr. Egon Spengler: Try to imagine all life as you know it stopping instantaneously and every molecule in your body exploding at the speed of light.
Dr Ray Stantz: Total protonic reversal.
Dr. Peter Venkman: Right. That’s bad. Okay. All right. Important safety tip. Thanks, Egon.

Dr. Ray Stanz: "Cross the streeeeeeeeams"
Yes Ray. No one would everstack books this way.
Game. Broken. Open.
DERREK!!!!!! 8-3
nobody doesn't like Derrek Lee!
BOOM...sha-lack-lack BOOM
F- an A man, F- an A
Wow...

We’re back. (I hope).

And Rami with the 2B!!

4 hits today!

and to think

i forgot to put him in my starting lineup today for fantasy baseball team….

Carmen?
that's MR. fanzone to you

btw, i LOVE fantasy sports so no knock on you carmen

:P

Maybe that's why he succeeded.

Less pressure, only having to perform for one team instead of two. I think you should leave him on the bench the rest of the season.

Also, I hope your fantasy team loses every game, or whatever it is that fantasy teams play.

YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Ram off the wall!

4 hit!

4-5!

he’s BACK! Two doubles, a single and an HR!

...and Ron is Giddy
8 runs

Sure is nice, let’s hope the offense gets going and stays hot!

One more chance to hit for the cycle, A-Ram
what a slide by a-ram
hurt watching it
Hey Hey

I picked Lee for a HR in BTS HR.

he looks back!
YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

DLee, Aramis

YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

I am incoherent with joy.

YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

I like BEATing Dusty's team
4-5 with a pair of doubles and a HR

He’s pretty good.

Don't screw this up, Milton.
screw up?

we’re winning by 5 runs.

You can't deny this one, drew.

He screwed it up.

he grounded out

at the end of a 4-run inning. That’s not screwing up. That’s playing baseball. Holy crap.

fortunately

the game is out of his reach

If hitting is contagious...

He’s immune.

must have gotten the shot
Aramis couldn't get the triple for the cycle,

what a scrub…

Milton ends inning on comebacker to burton. But Cubs get 4 insurance runs.
good to see the offense wake up.

id give gregg the day off

Bring in

THE DESTRUCTOR!

Activate goggles.

Proceed forward toward mound.

did pat say who is coming in. Shark or Gregg. on tv all we saw was shark warming up in a hurry.
guzman!!!!!!

the gozarian…or DESTRUCTOR if you fancy drew’s nickname

Gregg on.

Blanco in at second.

Gregg in for a non-save situation.

my girlfreind.

Who is that? some random girl or actually someone.

NSFW

at all.

where the hell do you work?
Where ever it is, it makes me sad.
too much of a good thing?
AM/PM's new 6th inning promo on WGN
I think I'd need to be "saved" from those.
Andy White in to play 2B

Baker was only used for his bat

Not a bad idea, as it turns out.
Gomes pops one up to the pitchers mound. derrek takes it. one away.
Yahoo lists our new 2B as "undefined"

Learn to web, Yahoo sports.

Andy White gets no respect.
It also shows K. Gregg is LF...
Hey...

That’s Marshall’s spot!

He was playing in the sandbox as a boy

And the cat buried him

One quick out. Keep hacking, Reds
Looking for that 5 run HR
Gregg for non-save

Samardijadsfhklahf was up. Wasting Gregg here.

wtih 2 outs gregg was already warmed up. and shark did not have enough time to warm up. since inning ended so quick.
nothing new but Brewers won't get Halladay
hanigan singles.
gonzalez pops out to dome on first pich. 2 outs.

Jerry Hairston JR to hit for burton.

hoping

Here’s hoping the latest Card trade turns out as good as the Mulder trade was.

Who sits for Holliday

Ankiel, Rasmus or Ludwick?

Probably Ankiel, he becomes the 4th OF
seems sorta lateral to me
Ankiel's not hitting very well this year.
nor Holliday
His line is still way better than Ankiel's

and that was in one of the worst hitter’s parks in the league. And he’s actually been heating up quite a bit lately, and Busch is a much friendlier stadium for hitters. This does not bode well, but I still think we’re winning this division.

Fair 'nuff.

In conjunction with the Duncan-Lugo deal this really means they maintain depth and add some upside in their outfield. So they hopefully add some outfield hitting plus whatever they think they’ll get out of Lugo, and give up whoever that hitting prospect was that they traded for Holliday.

the Saint Louis Papers

are saying Ankiel

how about Pujols

they’d be nice

And he'd still manage to get 3 RBI's a game
i hope Ludwick

though we know that won’t happen

Under the radar, maybe saw something in earlier thread

but no Berkman next week is huge

Still gotta face Lee, Bourn and Underpants...

All hit the Cubs pretty well… including a certain pinch hitter who will remain nameless.

Ex-Cub Jerry Hairston Jr. in to pinch hit.

Expect some LONG foul balls.

Or a double to LF
I need to close it, pronto.
One pitch

2 bases

Are we flying it or what guys?
Hairston doubles on first pitch. first n third two outs.
crap, shouldn't have said anything
second n third. two outs. got that was dumb
So if we win this 8-3 do we get to hear about the "Cubbie Swagger" again...?
yes
But if the Reds push a run across

IT’S STILL DEAD.

Yeah..

WE NEED TO MAKES A TRADE FOR REALZ

No one one the corner got

swagga like us, swagga like us, swagga swagga like us
swagga like us, swagga like us, swagga swagga like us
swagga like us, swagga like us, swagga swagga like us
swagga like us, swagga like us, swagga swagga like us
swagga like us, swagga like us, swagga swagga like us
swagga like us, swagga like us, swagga swagga like us

I'm guessing some will claim that just like the Nats, wins vs the Reds don't count right now.
Howdy folks!
Just in time
Stupid work

Not letting me be here all the time!

ball 4 bases loaded.
Ughhh...

Ball 4.

Never easy.

There's Gregg's walk.
there's the walk

bases LOADED!

Len Kasper

just called Big Z the “voice of reason” in the Cubs dugout

Len must have fallen down and hit his head
Ugh, wish I had that on TV here...

What was the context?

They showed Demp and Z

standing next to each other in the dugout. Len said Demp would not be jumping the fence and then said Z wouldn’t let him and that Z would be the voice of reason in that situation.

Let's end it here. Cub killer on deck.
CLOSERS IN NON SAVE SITUATIONS!!!!!!!!!!

caps were needed, warranted, and I am not ashamed

Exactly

I’m sure he was already warmed up and everything, but it happens SO often.

Base hit.

8-5

broken bat base hit. 8-5 and tying run with joey votto up
Put him on
and bring winning run to the plate?
Yeah...

Let’s not.

holy crap...come on
Why am I pacing in my cubicle...

Damn it!

because

this is nerve-wracking

ahahahahahahahahahhahahaa...
only the Cubs

put their fans through this stuff.

Even if he hits it out...

It only ties it.

This is all Milton's fault.

He stopped the rally last inning.

It's *always* Milton's fault.
I would agree with that.
o.0
I have no idea what that means.
Eyes.

Questioning ones. o.0

it means

that the cubs had a five run lead, and Gregg’s job is to hold them. The amount of blame being heaped on Bradley is absolutely ridiculous.

LARGE SARCASM / JOKE BUTTON

when it comes to milton

it’s hard to tell with you.

Ugh

tying run at the plate………..

NOW it's a save situation

Wait, that’s not how it works…

1 more strike

and we done here

CUBS WIN!!!

Fly the damn flag!!

CUBS WIN CUBS WIN CUBS WIN
WHERE IS YOUR VOTTO NOW?!?!?!?!!!!!!!!!
CUBS WIN CUBS WIN CUBS WIN
closers in non closing situations
CUBS WIN CUBS WIN CUBS WIN
CUBS WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YEAHHHHHHHHH

CUBS WIN CUBS WIN CUBS WIN

sitcherassdown!!!!
Gregg just wanted to practice pitching out of a jam, no problem
He strikes out Votto!

I’m going to get blotto!

Aramis Ramirez has

Yes. Yes he does.
All right!!!!!!!!! Way to go!!!!!!!

It’s find the W time…

middle

I vote for the one in the middle.

I vote for all the one's in the middle
That's a trick question...

There are no W’s, or at least I can’t focus enough to find them :)

Duetchland uber alles!!!
It's "Deutschland über alles" as in....

Deutschland, Deutschland über alles,
Über alles in der Welt,
Wenn es stets zu Schutz und Trutze
Brüderlich zusammenhält.

BTW: This used to be part of the German national anthem’s first verse.

I'm pretty sure there are a couple C's and D's...

But no W’s, unfortunately.

Look further up the thread

Those may be Ws

Zing.

Well done, sir.

This is the best puzzle ever!!
Even if you lose, you still win
They form a W!!!!!
Visual aids are always good...

puzzles can be so much fun

Thank god was having flashbacks of houston game. esp. with wells being starter who was in line for Win. just like he was in houston game and when gregg came on in non save spot.

wow

WIN

I'm going to lapse into gibbering insanity now

Let me know if you see any difference…

Gregg almost blew a 5 run lead
But he didn't.

It’s not always pretty, but he got it done.

We almost won the WS the last two years.
I think

that’s overstating it. He gave up some runs.

No better way to start a series.
except if gregg went 1-2-3 but well take it.
Yeah, once our heart rates go down...all will be good.
CUUUUUBBBBSSSS WWWIIIIIINNN!!!!
Great start to a weekend - see y'all later!
bye, I'm

out too.

8 runs too!!

Looks like we’re getting our real Cubs back

Now

Now if we could get rid of the fake Cubs like MB & Sori we’re on out way!

fake cubs?

seriously?

Wish we could get

rid of fake posters too.

Oh damn, get 'em sue!
And Rami is picked to be the player of the game (obviously)
How many times has Milton been picked this year?
Fewer times than Miles
Damn you beat me to it
Couldn't even hit a triple to get the cycle

Bum!

chose not to

didn’t want to show up Red’s
