C'mon Sammy!!

Seal the deal in keeping you in the lineup!!

Just a small liltte single through the hole!

Please!!!!!

Walkoff thread!
Man, some days you just can't BUY a break!
But...but...but...

he should be playing for Soriano!

He hit it hard

And why can’t Theriot or Fontenot play fundamental baseball? That’s as easy of a double play as you’ll see

They're human...
Not Fonty's fault

Anyone would be leaning like that. It was a helluva play by Hardy & Counsell.

Make the line drive go thru is what we're all taught

It does happen, but it’s not like it’s isolated with him.

Anyway, a double from Lee here can make it moot.

Hold em here

Let Sori hit a walkoff bomb to ballhawk!!

I don't like this....

Gregg for a 2nd inning leaves me really nervous

Prince K's
Nice one, Gregg
Nice Job Gregg
Busy, busy day.

I hope I didn’t miss much.

Buncha stuff

Not much of it good…

Is it bad that I don’t post a Jump in the last thread?

Are they still posting in there?
Yup

I wanna let them continue

You may not

want to visit the last couple of game threads. Pretty ugly.

I can imagine.

Hence the hiatus’ (hiatuses? how the hell do you pluralize that word?) I sometimes take.

Hiatii?

Or is that a country? Hell, I don’t know…

lol, I knew what you meant
c'mon 1 more Gregg

This game is gonna end our way I can feel it!

WHo is up for the Cubs in the b-10?
3 outsssssssssssssss

Come on Soriano, I wanna walk off shot to ballhawk!

Didn't Fuld replace him in the 9th?
Nope

Fuld came in for Dome

no he was on deck
Let's go

get a win!!

Sori, Theriot and Lee
Nice work

today, Kevin Gregg!!

Wow!

Look at Gregg deal!

It won't get past Sori

He’s about to hit one 435 feet to Ballhawk!!

I would love to see that.
Please, please, please score now.
I know I know I know

were about to hit a walk off shot!!

Excellent outing by Gregg....

Let’s win this thing already!

I really really

want the Brewers not to see Sori.

Why, is he hiding?
DiFelice pitching for the Brewers
boo birds giving it to him
0-5 today

He kinds earned it

Oh Fonzie.....

….didn’t hit the ball with authority all day.

Take one for the team already
Basehit Theriot.....................

c’mon Lee please come through again!!

Juuust a bit inside...
Riot! WAy to GO!
All right Riot.....

nice at bat

MAN-U-FACTURE one here
If Riot runs, then D-Lee gets a free pass to first...
Exactly

Keep him there until a 3-1 count

It's up to you D-Lee!
Riot singles to RF

Counsell almost got it, but those 39 year old legs weren’t quite good enough

Pat just reminded me. Z has our only rbi today. Reference my tag line...
DLee on the day: 0-3 and a HBP

He’s due

8 or 9 rbi over two days is good...
Is Lee still on his hitting streak?

I’ve been out of town so I haven’t been able to follow it.

No, he lost it a few games back
Nope - was broken a week or so ago
yep

hit two homers last night one being a GS.

sorry I misunderstood.
Here comes the flood
Wild pitch!

Riot to second!

Ron: OH, YEAH!
Wild Pitch...here we go
Any hit would be nice

But I’d kind of like to see Bradley win it.

There's no time to get picky...

I’ll take any kind of win we can get lol

Agreed.

And he won’t get a chance, anyway. IBB

me too but

not looking like it.

Nice

thank you Milwaukee

Fly ball to right

Riot tags and goes to third. Two outs, Milton Bradley to the plate!

Another WP would be nice...
A 2-1 win would be fantastic...

BH for lee wins this.

Wild pitch!

Just win, baby!

base hit from Bradley wins it

lets go

here we go.

a great spot.

Come on Milton...

Do this.

winning run at 3rd

MB redeem thyself

a hit would be very nice buster bradley

Come on Milton!!!!!
shit.
Flagged, reported, emailed Al...

trying to press charges as we speak

MB's time to show he is more than a RF backboard!
This game sure as hell gives plenty of redemption opportunities!
C'mon Game, just a base hit is all we need...
Booooooooooooooooooo
Bradley

IBB. Soto is going to pinch hit.

Wow, are they retarded?!

Walking Bradley to get to Soto?!

Any old kind of hit wins this

MB IBB

A dying quail baby .. just a dying quail over 1st!
IBB Milton, Geo to PH
Soto coming up...
The Brewers fear the power of Milton
probably figure the law of averages is IN his favor
Here is the chance for Soto

that everyone wanted earlier…. Good luck all

Soto!!!
He didn't do anything yet.. I'm just excited.
Soto better teach them a lesson here
Just a bloooper or anything please
Ok fine, then Han Soto will win it with a base knock for us...
How's about another wild pitch
C'mon Geo show us what you got
LIGHT 'em up, geo

:P

makem RUE the day Geo
RUE the day...?

who talks like that???

:P

everyone on theri feet

at wrigley and I have chills

Double to the ivy, Geo
Geo! Geo! Geo! C'mon Geo!
Wow, odd choice

Guess some teams still respect his hitting ability even though he hasn’t really shown it consistently since last year.

Soto

takes ball one. Bradley takes second.

Defensive "Eh, whatever"
throw it to the wall.
I hear Harey in my head

screaming their’s a drive

waaaaay back...it could be it might be.....it is!!!
defensive indifference

bradley moves up

Lets go Soto!!!
get em GEO

haha thats so sweet
looks more like fox.
I hear Kasper's oh baby
Soto may not get a pitch now

with first open

ball three

way outside.

Hey Geo...sweep the leg.
they're gonna pitch around Geo here as well

may as well just load ’em up

geogeogeogeogeogeogeo

they’re walking HIM too??

please Geo Please
Gonna walk Soto

to go after Fox…

Geo semi intentional BB coming up

come on foxy baby

I'll take a HBP
Its up to

Jake

Soto walks

Fox to the plate. Let’s go, BAM BAM!

Grand Slam Walk Off
I'd love a bloop single
Or HBP.

Or WP.

I’m not really that picky.

Let's go Jake!
this is crazy
Fox Time

Bam Bam

Lets go Fox! ! !
Loaded up.
You called down the thunder, DiFelice!
fox is your huckleberry
It's time!
Take a pitch

?

Bam Bam Bam Bam

or Ball Ball Ball Ball would be ok too

I'll take a walk here...
C'mon Bam Bam... just a base knock is all we need...
Intentional walks, back-to-back

Just win, baby!

Hey Jake

Make them pay. It’ll be embarrassing to them, and awesome for you. And us. And the CUBS.

C'mon on Fox

Put another score in our box

TWS - nevermind...

i say they IBB fox

Good call

they’re better off facing LBR :p

That . . . .looked like it would have been ball 1
It would have been, it was outside.
Wait for YOUR pitch....not ANY pitch!
Stick your head over the plate Fox

whatever it takes…

Ball two

outside.

yes. walk him.
Anyone else nervous??
naw (lying)
thats 3 bad pitches
Ball three

3-1 on Fox

Jake Fox is a dangerous hitter.

I think they should intentionally walk him to get to the next guy.

any win we can scratch outa this
they've got their pitcher in walk mode lol!
take one for the team
they should just IBB Fox too.
All your base are clogged with Cubs
Nice.
Somebody set us up the bomb!
LEAVE THE BAT ON YOUR SHOULDER!!
one pitch jake.
tiny hitting zone here Fox, cmon......
why didn't he take?

3-2

nows the time for a WILD PITCH
No place to put him
and UNCLOG the bases!
C'mon JAKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes. Please walk him!
Stayin' alive...
Fouled away

again.

Lets go CUbS!
This is why I like baseball
aint nothing likit
And why I have no fingernails.

doing a nice job.

make a mistake in the dirt please.

Nice AB by Fox

although I wish he would have took the first pitch

Ron: Good at bat!
fouled away

AGAIN.

HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
that looked like a strike?

Cubs win hahahahahaha

thats what I thought

we’ll take it

CUBS WIN!! CUBS WIN!! CUBS WIN!! FLY IT!!
ANNNNNNNNNNNNY old kind of win!!!!
Sweet justice!
HORRRRRRRRIIIIIIIBBBBBBLLLLLLLE Call.....and I'll take it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Walk Cubs Walk
It's Happening!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
Fly it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ha. what a joke.
BOOM goes the dynomite
favorite quote of all time
Walked. In. The. Walk-off. Run.
Isn't this game crazy?

Crazy like a FOX!!!

Back to Back to Back Walks. gotta love itl.
The ever-exciting

Walk-off Walk!

but wasn't it a thrilling play at the plate?
Theriot took down the catcher just as a warning
Check again.

That was Ted Lilly in a number 2 jersey.

Indeed

Great game overall!

YEEEEEHAWWWWWWWWW
Walk-off walk!
A walk off walk
Warning

Bizarro BCB on meltdown mode….

for good reason

that last call was………..well…………good for the cubs?

that was pretty bad.

Maybe if they weren't in a bases loaded situation

it wouldn’t have mattered. You reap what you sow.

It was pretty close

I think it helped that Fox ducked down on the pitch

That sneaky Fox.
CUBS WIN!!!!!!!

Bam Bam with the BB – works for me…

haha wow terrible call but we'll take it!!!

cbssports has it as a ball

Gamecast has it as a strike EASILY
I love this

2 different electronic strike zones, supposedly using the same technology, totally differ on the actual call.

I don't know about easily

its close to the corner… but could go either way.

That call

Makes up for the two bad ones earlier

how does one call that a ball?

was it supposed to be high?

According to MLB Gameday, it was actually a strike.

But hey, the Cubs win!!!!

so what
Exactly.

I’m not complaining, the Cubs win!

Carlos Zambrano, Aaron Heilman and Kevin Gregg have

:-)

that’s my guy!!

Milton, we've missed you come back again tomorrow too!
home teams always get those calls

…we have had that call go against often on the road.

Go Cubs Go

Hey Chicago whaddya say, The Cubs Are gonna win today!!!

looked like strike to me
haha yeah what a gift
The ump had called at least

3 strikes as balls for Milwaukee hitters in the top of the inning.

AT LEAST!

Way to hang in there believers!

Tomorrow we go for 3 in a row vs. Mil. See you then! Signing off!

Love those...

walk off walks!

I think it was my prediction

that we would go another inning…. Go Cubs Go!!

Damn, Jake Fox just has good at bat after good at bat....gotta keep that guy in the lineup somehow when

ARam gets back

Wow. Brewers announcers are throwing a fit.

Which reminds me… I really hate the Brewers announcers. Suck that Bill Schroeder.

it was their density

Uecker cursed them

I don't mind the Brewers radio.

Kinda like Uecker. But it doesn’t matter who it is… Sutton or this schmuck they have now, with Bill Schroeder makes me want to take a letter opener to my ear drum. I hate when they play the Brewers, EI blackout.

Thats what they get for screwing up the 7th inning stretch
Sam Fuld

told the ump it was a ball

ted lilly used the jedi mind trick
IT IS OFFICIAL

If only

Pretty flag up top in the middle there….

Actually, it was a ball.....incredible take
what keeps changing your mind?
I <3 Bam bam!!

yay!

looking at the replay

it probably was a ball. But in that situation I’ve no idea how Fox didn’t swing at it.

yeah i was hoping he was going to do a safety swing when he threw but who cares now

I think it helped

that Fox ducked as the pitch came in…. All I know is Cubs win!!

LOL, who's this idiot interviewing Theriot?

You’d think he would be aware that the game ended in extra innings!

on second look it was actually above the belt

he was calling high strikes all day but the pitch was still borderline

And there's this!

What a beautiful sight!
Sweet sight!
hehe

Hope for more of these.. preferably on my computer and not on my floor!!

love this
Dont cry over it

Milwaukee fans!

That pitch was definitely a ball...

Really tough pitch to take in that situation though!

Nice job, Fox!!

Yep the replay clearly shows that
A certain blogger's happy!

HAHAHAHA!!!!!

Nice!

lookin' forward to the recap, AL
Single Black glove

This is for what??

Michael Jackson homage
Michael Jackson homage?
please delete this

internet busted up when I posted the first one.

Gregg did a fantastic job today

Here’s hoping he’s on top of it for the next 3 months

I second that1
Anybody got

the upside down Brewers logo handy?

This one?

No, see below.

The one that looks like a W.

Yup I see it now...

That’s a new one, haven’t seen it before but very cool!

Nice job by Z today, too
Let's get the series win tomorrow!!!!! Happy 4th of July everyone! Have fun, but BE SAFE!
More Vodka Please!!
Love that we're starting to win these

low scoring 1 run games.. finally.

woohoo!!

+1..literally.....PLUS ONE
The Happy Happy

joy joy thread has arrived…. Nothing like a win to make everything right

Better than the

“don’t whiz on the electric fence” thread of anger.

and the next cubnational's generation's loyalty to the Cubs is reinforced!

are the Cubs on Fox tommorrow?
No WGN at 12:05
No, they are not the national game.
crap ! it's not on the Superstation???
Why wouldn't it be?
MLB blackout rules give FOX exclusive rights to out of market Saturday afternoon games.

It’s listed as being on here in WGN’s national feed here in St. Louis, but I’ll be surprised if it is.

It is.

Not the FOX national game.

sometimes for some dang reason

WGN Cub games don’t make it to the Superstation airing. I don’t know WHY .. but with FOX’s satanic monopoly on Saturday baseball, I just wondered how much of a cocked hat that this would be hit by

No, they are.

At least WGN America here in St Louis is showing it. If it’s on WGN locally it’s on WGN nationally.

Usually not always

Z’s no hitter was on local WGN not national.

exactly my anxious, Cub starved point
That's only because it was a makeup.

I assum they couldn’t clear it for national broadcast. They did show it a week later, though.

No it's not. They're only allowed to air a certian number of games on the national feed anymore.
It should be.
WGN.

They are on TBS Sunday though.

Cool

Hadn’t looked that far ahead.

The MLB Network guys last night

had a graphic showing the upcoming national TV schedule including Fox, TBS, and ESPN. It was pretty cool and helpful.

Don't have MLB

or CSN so WGN games or non-blackedout national games are the only way I get to watch

Me too for the most part.

That’s why I keep a pocket schedule in my wallet so I know when to get home!

Hehe

i have the schedule programmed into Google Calander so it emails me 5 hours before game time saying what channel its on. :-P

did you do that manually?

last year, there was a calendar you could add, but I can’t find one this year.

Now I downloaded the iCal file

and put it in Google.

YES!!!!!

I get the Sunday game, one of the (very) few Cubs games I can see here! I’ll take the bad announcers, I miss so many games on TV.

Not so bad.

Old Cub announcer Chip Caray. There’s far worse out there.

I love Chip Caray

I think he’s very good

Yes.

Brenaman or the Hawk, for instance.

And circle gets the square.
+.01

for Hollywood Squares reference

+O

Or was it +X? Damned algebra…

that's the square of .1

.01

Pie r squared
No no no

Pie are round

lol!

+i

Delicious, delicious pie

Pie r Oriole
I was told

there would be no math?

You know what?

Why don’t you go ahead and bring in your copy of Raiders of the Lost Ark.

Here's the real question:

How many times will the phrase “Saturday, in the park, I think it was the Fourth of July” be heard during tomorrow’s baseball telecasts?

Thought the line was "Saturday, *here* in the park..."
I'm OK with that
Jason Kendall

Did a great job of framing that last pitch but it WAS HIGH!!

exactly. the fact that he had to frame it tells you it was a ball...
Jimmay!
Whassup Northersails?
I forgot the n... I mean northernsails.
What's up with you Jimmycrackcorn?
Back after a long hiatus

had things to take care of. But I is back now.

Ask Soto

If anyone would know if it was high, it would be him!

Undefeated in July!!!
From evil BCB:

“The Brewers bats were far from the top of their game today, Bold phrasebut they found a way to win anyway.Bold phrase

Here’s something I don’t say often: Jeff Suppan was masterful today, but the Brewer bats couldn’t pick him up."

Irony.

and clearly

I do not know how to format. Sigh.

Evil BCB?

More like Delusional BCB.

For posterity

it's still there!
I think the guy

Went home for the weekend or something

I'm sure someone will notice eventually
Trying again:

"The Brewers bats were far from the top of their game today, but they found a way to win anyway.

Here’s something I don’t say often: Jeff Suppan was masterful today, but the Brewer bats couldn’t pick him up."

Irony.

but

they didn’t win. He mean the Cubs bats?

Think it was premature celebration
I hate when that happens.
And now they have a mess on their hands.
Clearly

it’s a sticky situation

well done

lol

Lou just said

we will probably make some adjustments with the lineup…..right just like the last 3 times he said it. The question was towards Soriano so hopefully that means he is on the bench or outta leadoff spot

It worked yesterday, right?
UH, Soriano needs to be just sat down ..

Let that 100 mil burn in Hendry’s pocket and let Sam Fuld get a stab at it

Cubs 2-0

In the Jeff baker era…coincidence? I think not lol jk

preacherman we need to do a prayer walk around Wrigley
Lol

I live in Tulsa Oklahoma, if I come, I’m going to like 5 games lol

Is it Baker or the lack of Freel?
3 in a row.

Feels like it’s been weeks maybe months since I could say that!!

actually

when IS the last time the Cubs won three in a row?

probably two months ago
Cleveland sweep
oh, that's right!

wow, that wasn’t too long ago. That’s how bad it’s felt since then.

no kidding

that feels like months ago

Ah yes.

The old Cleveland Sweeper.

Is that any relation to the...

nevermind

Two weeks ago vs. Cleveland
interesting.

My question is, why wasn’t pitch 1 a ball. Did he swing at that one?

Swinging strike

and gameday 3d is ugly

Those were my thoughts as well..... #9 was close, but #1 wasnt!
sorry, my bad! swinging...strike...
That's one frickin LOT

of changeups

Obviously, he can't hit them into play
Doesn't really matter

as long as he can take them for balls.

…with runners on base.

well, let's go for the series win tommorrow!

and SWEEP Sunday

im goin out to celebrate cya
