Bleed Cubbie Blue

butt its dick

charlie heger

buzzing away

ahhhh forget it….

I got it.

I just hope the Cubs get it…soon!

Lets go human web gem!

Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse Thread

Sorry, just thought we needed a cooler name

Miles, Soriano, Heilman and Gregg?

Can I be Pestilence?

SB here and fuld ties miles for 4th on the team

Sandberg's evil twin - August 22, 2009 reply

Boy you caught me off guard with that one.

I’d have put a lot of odds on any record fuld tied with miles being bad…interesting.

I think Fuld already has Miles beat in Total Bases

and height

Broxton in...

Torre is a ruthless manager

Smart move

sometimes the save is in the 8th.

unless its the Cubs bullpen

we blow the save in the 8th

Going for the 2-inning save?

No they just explained it on Fox

the tougher part of the lineup is right now

the what part

yes, well explained that time

My Fox affiliate has decided that BoSox-Yanks is a better draw

They may be right

not necessarily - he's got another legit closer in Sherill.

And Broxton’s been wobbly lately so it wouldn’t surprise me to see Sherill come in next inning, especially with Miles coming up soon.

ahahahahah, sometimes i crack myself up…

yessir

MB what the hell are you swinging at?

Bees!

ha

Good AB.

they're stinging me!!!

I’m already bloated!!

more...

Bees! Bees! Bees in the car! Bees everywhere! God, they’re huge! They’re ripping my flesh off! Run away, your firearms are useless against them!

Typical Bradley garbage

Still sucks

Sandberg's evil twin - August 22, 2009 reply

Captain Obvious explaining how 3 singles leads to no runs

sometimes i wonder if the fox crew gets paid to say stupid stuff

YAAAA

He pulled a Bradley move!

Lee was very lucky - DON'T WASTE THIS !!!

How lucky? Not watching...

Lost in sun?

lost it in the sun

There's our gift!

Now capitalize!

Sweet Sun

Lilly parted the clouds...

rare bison fail

Pat: "Will that be the turning point?"

Lets go Rami

That was low damnit

Karros is worthless doing the color.

Hard to believe he is a former player

FFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

F*ck! No luck again

luck doesn't last

Rami smokes one right at the 1b

Sandberg's evil twin - August 22, 2009 reply

God. We truly have been cursed on hard hits today.

crap

C'mon Muffin Man!

NM

C’mon ROBODOME!

Lineout?

Fuck!

Hit hard right at him

LETS GO DOME

FML

haha can't even get lucky on passed ball

the fucking umpire blocked the pitch

Fuld SB?

Please?

stealing home?

Why not?

Sainthood must be accompanied by miracles, right?

nothing to lose

Even the right leg of the plate umpire hates us.

fml again

wow nice eye Dome

that was whisker close

Gameday shows it as a strike

by a bunch

BradB311 - August 22, 2009 reply

Gabby Hayes whisker close

3-2 : Go Fukudome

Dome Ks on ball 4

FML

go figure

Rhymenocerous - August 22, 2009 reply

that pitch was nasty

broxton set him up perfectly.

he has to swing at that

no guarantee that doesn’t get called a strike. which it looked like to me.

dammit

dammit dammit dammit dammit dammit

Wish we had Broxton

he’s nasty.

and haegar, and wolf

and weaver. They are all nasty against us. Broxton has been good but not great this year.

Hell, let's just sign the whole league

Our farm system would ROCK!

something would go wrong

it always does.

Nope

no clutch hitting…again.

2009 season in a nutshell

yess!

go play in traffic, troll

I think that you must be lost

You can find ebay at www.ebay.com

thanks

I think you posted that on the wrong site

either that or you’re an asshole

yeah

i think i thought this was true blue LA for a sec….
look somewhat identical

didnt intend to troll

i was happy…but next time i wont say that here

go be happy somewhere else

we have nothing baseball related to be happy and will not take kindly to trolly behavior

sorry

wont happen

Pathetic

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

just look at it this way

at least we picked up Gregg and Heilman in the offseason instead of someone that can throw 95-97

0-7 with RISP today. Lilly deserved better.

a constant refrain this whole season.

Your 2009 Chicago Cubs.

2nd and 3rd with one out and no runs

I hate to say it but we’re getting into choking dog territory now

Michael Vick would like to speak to you

Rami

hit a rocket. You can’t call that a choke. ’Dome was overmatched

he didn't get it done

no runs.

im past moral victories. Do what needs to be done to score some runs.

He hit the ball hard

you can’t aim it after that

Ted can

You can't NOT aim it? OK. I got nothing

Heilman for a 2nd inning?

Why do I sense 3 Dodger runs coming?

DIVE YOU WORTHLESS FUCK

who is this worthless fuck youre referring to

heilman

look

that is pretty unneccessary.

both calling for a dive (which look great but RARELY work) and the name calling.

you just told someone

to go play in traffic

trolls are different

calling someone on your own team a “worthless fuck” is really out of bounds

ok

gotcha

shouldn't make a difference, should it?

well

i’m also a hypocrit… so what do I know?

fair enough - at least you admit it.

IF we had an offense, we wouldn't need luck..

Later all

I can’t take this shit anymore

I left to go play ball with the pups

and came back in just in time to see Rami smoke one right at 1B.

It's all your fault!

i know

i suck

I get the feeling that Heilman is not that good. Do you think Lou feels the same?

he can't even bend over for the ball?

worthless

Guy on 2nd, one out...

I sense a clutch base hit coming…

if that's not a metaphor for the season, I don't know what is

runners on 2nd, 3rd, and Rami lines it out to 1st, Dome Ks, and then Heilman can’t chase down the ball.

The breaks. We get none. And arguably, you make your own breaks.

drewishdrewid - August 22, 2009 reply

Bingo.

+1

well said.

Lots of bad luck this year but lots of bad play as well.

Tony Abreu?

Any relation?

Lou

Looks much bigger going out to the mound today. Maybe visiting some all-you-can eat buffets with Tommy Lasorda?

I feel

right now

Mark Loretta

38 year old third base stealer.

Why do you want to be Loretta, Stan?

Ron Santo is sighing in the booth. He's not feeling very happy.

Really? Grabow? Reall?

allow a steal of 3rd
and then walk the guy on 4 straight.

REALLY?

Remember when Geo was good at baseball?

Feels like that was a long time ago.

Many BigMacs ago....

Laughable

Anybody that can’t recognize that this season is long over is seriously fooling themself.

krummy12 - August 22, 2009 reply

Why must you be such an angry young man?

because he has working class ties and a radical plan?

cue the music

funny

the schedule says there’s baseball for weeks yet.

drewishdrewid - August 22, 2009 reply

The clouds part and

one ray of sunshine comes through

i realize it

i just dont say it every 5 minutes

that was a strike

Come on Grabow get this guy

YES!

I still <3 Grabow

how long is grabow under contract?

He did

i don't think that was a strike

but we’ll take it.

the pitch before was....

Clearly Inside

Nice pitch

To bail himself out

Score. some. runs. NOW!

Grabow

one of the few bright spot/improvements we can be thankful for looking ahead.

Prediction

Soriano will pinch hit and K to end it.

on a low outside pitch

What are the chances

Broxton blows it, we tie it up and lose on a walk off?

better then 1%

drewishdrewid - August 22, 2009 reply

Broxton done.

They pinch hit for him…it’ll be Sherill.

Oh

Sherrill instead…

There's more of a chance

Juan Pierre pitches and gets the save.

ryan89 - August 22, 2009 reply

no time like the present.

LHP in.. Lou's gotta PH for Miles, or he's officially senile

Miles hit's LHP much better than RHP

he’s actually bordering on useful vs LHP

.605 OPS vs LHP

.422 vs RHP

Miles can ground out to a MI

From either side of the plate

isn't miles actually better as a RHB?

depends on what your definition of "better" is

bad vs horrific

+.200 in OPS

thats a lot better

Sorry all.. My bad.. I'm senile, I guess!

But my senility argument holds since Lou started Miles vs a RHP

well Manny is out

so it they can tie it or take the lead the bottom of the 9th is less scary

Sherrill is on my Fantasy team

PLEASE BLOW THE DAMN SAVE.

now this is an effective use of ALL CAPS... ;-)

NOT ENOUGH LIND!

Remember back when we believed they could score in the 9th

Long time ago.

OMG

Foxy PHing for Miles

I believe again

hey look

a hit.

and now

bam – bam!

Stop the presses

No kidding. What did it look like ?

I can’t remember anymore.

roller up the middle

Geo single.

nope

he’s married

Fox in the house!

LETS GO MILES

WOO

C'mon Foxie!!!

those strikes were both outside

well

that could’ve gone better

K.

Boy Sherrill

is missing his spots by a ton

Come on Sori

his last HR was late game heroics, how about some symmetry.

ok, this has now officially entered the absurd....

Who called a Sori K to end the game?

That was me.

Hope I’m wrong.

Not looking good though.

2-2.

I was going to offer you delicious, delicious cake

But you were wrong.

quick - someone go over to Worf's house and remove all sharp objects!

worf about to screw the pooch?

Sherrill

has only given up 3HR all year

so, you're saying he's due then?

Just trying to help...

what on earth was ausmas doing?

Sori layed off low and away???

UNPOSSIBLE

not that time but got enough of it

Just stretching out the torture but I can't see it anyway

at least Riot will make it quick

no, it was just low

Dodgers about to get a shut out

ball 4 right there

to be fair

with this umps strike zone you have to swing at anything close

However this ends

Soriano’s had a really good AB.

agreed

Yep

Right NOW he works a pitch count

Well, Sherrill is all over the plave

he had help.

Look, he's starting to come around. We're going to keep him out there the rest of the year and see what he can do.

Listen, what can you do?

True

BB

Obligatory

shot of a Cubs fan with his hands over his eyes

Holy Fuck!

He walked?

a very odd curse

Way to make em PAY Soriano..

that was a MONSTER BB there!!

It's so Cubs

to get our hopes up in the 9th…

EXACTLY.

Fuld out ?

Ok lefty righty thing. Just as well he would only have clogged the bases with another walk.

STFU stockton

gawd

Mute button

use it, sister!

i need play by play

and my radio reception sucks

Gotcha.

Hit a gap Theriot!

this is like sliding down a long razor blade

into a pool of alcohol…

Backwards

Yep

Eh

doesn’t even hurt anymore.

I’m just watching to see how we lose.

I miss the orginality. Wrong side of pitcher’s duels is boring.

3-2 again

fitting way to end it

FFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

ryan89 - August 22, 2009 reply

another loss

crap

well eff.

Jesus

that umps all over the place in strike calls

wouldn't matter

if we did any kind of hitting at all.

dammit

dammit dammit dammit dammit dammit dammit

Why am I not surprised?

Ace Venom - August 22, 2009 reply

27 innings

3 runs

0 hope

Yet again...

The team needs to understand this!

Dick Stockton

what a dick

I am starting to wish the starting pitching would suck too.

Be easier to take.

theriots not clutch

only double clutch

Nice work today offense!

Lou after the game:

“Listen…what are you gonna do?”

and.

“it’s frustrating”

He didn't really say that again did he ?

he will be shortly

and Al has up the fastest recap in history

wow

the ump was awful

and

Good night, Cubs fans. Better luck manana.

I really wouldn't midn seeing that OF

for the rest of the year. Ain’t gonna happen, but I can dream. So tired of Soriano.

toonsterwu - August 22, 2009 reply

Just saw the Fuld catch.

He deserves to start every game the rest of the year.

hey hey

bears pregame on next!
