with a really funny slide
Tough to tell from that angle.
CubsBullsBears - August 23, 2009 reply
And he may have succeeded. Ump didn’t see it that way, tho.
these umps are usually out of position, so they just guess.
LAcarl519 - August 23, 2009 reply
Enough of that “gun in the holster” bullshit.
Bein’ a jackass. Nothing to see here – move along.

it’s on my face!!
baker PHing for Fonty?
Lou… I don’t get it.
Len: I wonder how long it took him to get that tattoo. Bob: I don’t know. I think he’s got a cavity in one of those teeth.
Chris Dobbertean - August 23, 2009 reply
Across the lower part of his back
Just not sure which mouth the cavity is in, though.
Just why…
taking up a guy’s whole back from shoulders to his boxers (which were about 3 inches above his belt.
would be showing LA his ass
Extremely exaggerated lip-synced renditions of Journey’s song “Don’t Stop Believing.”
guys like that are a dime a dozen, unfortunately
that’s only the second worst HD Shot of the Game for this year.
Why do I feel we should have more runs!
Cub Fan Mike - August 23, 2009 reply
cubnational - August 23, 2009 reply
Demp to start the 8th
We need more runs!
5-1. What else is new.
He’s done after that walk to Martin. Double switch.
Referred to Abreu as a ‘switch-batter’, kinda like we do with Miles.
is his last. He gone.
Hopefully the bullpen doesn’t screw this up. Grabow it is.
MrNFL - August 23, 2009 reply
In the shins.
What is the chance he gets the win? 50/50?
you can never go wrong with those odds
I’ll give 2-3 odds on it…
But, if it reaches the 9th with this score, is this going to be Marmol first test as newly appointed closer?
DTJchris - August 23, 2009 reply
I know Fox out Bradley/Grabow in… but who moved where in the OF?
mgrace17 - August 23, 2009 reply
ugh
whyy?
crap
Tough beans, Joe.
Theriot almost blew that.
No friggin’ way he actually stayed on the bag.
But the weak-sauce throw drew Fonty’s foot off the bag. Called out, anyway.
but time was called
oh boy..that’s completely wrong
Gibbon Jockey - August 23, 2009 reply
Ump’s just made a hash of this one.
what the hell happened there?
Time was called before the pitch.
Infield fly? Theriot dropped it… throw home… ball gets away…. What’s happening?!
No pitch
More controversy coming…
Dou - August 23, 2009 reply
WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
be calling time out?
Escaped
Thanks, Blue!
They care!
I asked for a DP a few minutes ago!!!!
AzCubfan24 - August 23, 2009 reply
that usually bites us in the ass..
Let’s finish this one up!!!
This can go 1 of 2 ways…
Or a walk-a-thon.
Why?
Fail.
Kinda like 80% of the rest of the team
commence the “bradley sucks” talk
THROW STRIKES!!!!!!!!!
Marmol vs. Furcal, Ethier and Ramirez for the Save opp.
the good Marmol who shows up today!
Fasten your seat belts!!!!
Cubbiefaithful - August 23, 2009 reply

CubFaninNY - August 23, 2009 reply
Most likely everyone who needs to see them are already in the terlet
Hopefully Marmol gets it done

Thank God
Ace Venom - August 23, 2009 reply
More like “begins”. ;-)
To whom would you rather listen, Scully or Hawk?
Not Bruce Froemming - August 23, 2009 reply
Just chuckling at the word choice
CaliCub - August 23, 2009 reply
than listen to Hawk
Da Coach - August 23, 2009 reply
I can’t believe I didn’t catch it, but great reference!
all excellent choices.
Hawk? Only under threat of death. Even then, I might have to think about it.
let’s hope this is the beginning of a nice string of Ws.
see ya Tuesday!
Al’s getting lazy in his old age.
like I said in my posting earlier .. if they got us figured out in the next games, I’ll be tuning in to the Bears a lot earlier than last year
I made a batch of homemade onion rings as a snack during this game. Will I have to keep doing this?
remember to use canola oil .. much better on your arteries
Especially with golden, delicious onion rings.
BigJohnAZ - August 23, 2009 reply
which I found out means “I am a donut”!
(drools)
A Berliner could be a citizen of Berlin or also something similar to donut with no hole, so one possible translation would be: “Ich bin ein Berliner” = “I am a jelly doughnut.”
eths - August 24, 2009 reply
if there is ANY game the rest of this year I want to see a W at it will be that one
and they scored two runs so I decided to only check score online and keep napping. Much more relaxing than watching the game.

sue369 - August 23, 2009
Rami out at 3rd
with a really funny slide
Allie - August 23, 2009
Did he even tag him?
Tough to tell from that angle.
CubsBullsBears - August 23, 2009
Tried to get around the tag
And he may have succeeded. Ump didn’t see it that way, tho.
Clutch16 - August 23, 2009
bad call.
these umps are usually out of position, so they just guess.
LAcarl519 - August 23, 2009
Okay...
Enough of that “gun in the holster” bullshit.
CubsBullsBears - August 23, 2009
Just Manny
Bein’ a jackass. Nothing to see here – move along.
Clutch16 - August 23, 2009
I hope they hit it at him again
cozmotaylor123 - August 23, 2009
Got your wish :/
Clutch16 - August 23, 2009

sue369 - August 23, 2009
I have the exact same one
cozmotaylor123 - August 23, 2009
me, too
it’s on my face!!
VegasCubFan - August 23, 2009
and why the heck isn't
baker PHing for Fonty?
Lou… I don’t get it.
Allie - August 23, 2009
is Miles not available today?
cozmotaylor123 - August 23, 2009
We're not that lucky.
Clutch16 - August 23, 2009
LMAO
Len: I wonder how long it took him to get that tattoo.
Bob: I don’t know. I think he’s got a cavity in one of those teeth.
Chris Dobbertean - August 23, 2009
What does said tattoo look like?
Vermont Cubs Fan - August 23, 2009
Giant skull
Across the lower part of his back
Clutch16 - August 23, 2009
Then he probably does have a cavity, if Bob says so.
Just not sure which mouth the cavity is in, though.
Vermont Cubs Fan - August 23, 2009
nasty
eths - August 23, 2009
Here you go
eths - August 23, 2009
Why?
Just why…
CubsBullsBears - August 23, 2009
he's a baaad mofo
Emelie - August 23, 2009
that's an amazing tatoo of someone's face on his ass. very high quality...
ballhawk - August 23, 2009
A skull
taking up a guy’s whole back from shoulders to his boxers (which were about 3 inches above his belt.
Allie - August 23, 2009
LA's got class, yo
Clutch16 - August 23, 2009
A breeze and that guy
would be showing LA his ass
Allie - August 23, 2009
Yes, especially when it comes to
Extremely exaggerated lip-synced renditions of Journey’s song “Don’t Stop Believing.”
Vermont Cubs Fan - August 23, 2009
my office is in Venice (near Muscle Beach).
guys like that are a dime a dozen, unfortunately
LAcarl519 - August 23, 2009
I think it was a "connect the dots" with his acne scars
LAcarl519 - August 23, 2009
The thing is...
that’s only the second worst HD Shot of the Game for this year.
Chris Dobbertean - August 23, 2009
We have 11 hits to the Dodgers 3
Why do I feel we should have more runs!
Cub Fan Mike - August 23, 2009
because with the Cubs this year anything can happen
cubnational - August 23, 2009
Moar Weezer!
Clutch16 - August 23, 2009
Gregg and Grabow now warming
Demp to start the 8th
Clutch16 - August 23, 2009
Gregg & Grabow up in the 'pen
Allie - August 23, 2009
Zoiks!!!
VegasCubFan - August 23, 2009
Gregg is warming up!!!
We need more runs!
Cub Fan Mike - August 23, 2009
Cardinals are winning
5-1. What else is new.
Cub Fan Mike - August 23, 2009
101 pitches for Dempster
He’s done after that walk to Martin.
Double switch.
cubs ftw - August 23, 2009
Does Len read BCB?
Referred to Abreu as a ‘switch-batter’, kinda like we do with Miles.
Clutch16 - August 23, 2009
bet he does :=D
Emelie - August 23, 2009
Demps' first walk of the day
is his last. He gone.
Allie - August 23, 2009
GREAT start by Dempster
Hopefully the bullpen doesn’t screw this up. Grabow it is.
MrNFL - August 23, 2009
I wanna kick this Bud Light shill
In the shins.
Clutch16 - August 23, 2009
Nice day for Demp!
What is the chance he gets the win? 50/50?
Cub Fan Mike - August 23, 2009
i perceive thou art a prophet
you can never go wrong with those odds
cubnational - August 23, 2009
Grabow and then Marmol?
I’ll give 2-3 odds on it…
Clutch16 - August 23, 2009
Knock on wood
But, if it reaches the 9th with this score, is this going to be Marmol first test as newly appointed closer?
DTJchris - August 23, 2009
Yup
Clutch16 - August 23, 2009
I believe so.
Vermont Cubs Fan - August 23, 2009
yep
Allie - August 23, 2009
buckle up those seat belt folks
cozmotaylor123 - August 23, 2009
Yes
CubsBullsBears - August 23, 2009
Fox is odd man out
LAcarl519 - August 23, 2009
'Cuz his bat's been so quiet today...
Clutch16 - August 23, 2009
I don't find him odd at all......
cozmotaylor123 - August 23, 2009
Yes, because he went 4-4 today.
Vermont Cubs Fan - August 23, 2009
How did the switch go?
I know Fox out Bradley/Grabow in… but who moved where in the OF?
Allie - August 23, 2009
Bradley to RF
Clutch16 - August 23, 2009
So Fuld in LF, Dome in CF?
Allie - August 23, 2009
So no more centerfuld action today? Damn...
ballhawk - August 23, 2009
Leftfuld
Clutch16 - August 23, 2009
He's pretty good in Leftfuld
CubsBullsBears - August 23, 2009
So Dome in CF and Fuld in LF?
Clutch16 - August 23, 2009
Dome CF from RF and Fuld LF from CF, Fox to hen house from LF
LAcarl519 - August 23, 2009
fukudome is probably in center and fulds probably in left
jesus christos - August 23, 2009
yep
mgrace17 - August 23, 2009
Gameday concurs
Clutch16 - August 23, 2009

Vermont Cubs Fan - August 23, 2009

There's a strike
CubsBullsBears - August 23, 2009
grabow = marmol?

CubsBullsBears - August 23, 2009
Woot! 2 Strikes!
Emelie - August 23, 2009

cubs ftw - August 23, 2009
Torre doesn't like the call
Tough beans, Joe.
Clutch16 - August 23, 2009
whoa
sue369 - August 23, 2009
Looks like the Cubs got the benefit of the horrid "In the area" rule
MrNFL - August 23, 2009
For once
Clutch16 - August 23, 2009
yep his foot was off
Emelie - August 23, 2009
Wow...
Theriot almost blew that.
CubsBullsBears - August 23, 2009
Wow
No friggin’ way he actually stayed on the bag.
Allie - August 23, 2009
it was closer than it looked....
ballhawk - August 23, 2009
Big break there
CubsBullsBears - August 23, 2009
yuge
Emelie - August 23, 2009
what happened
jesus christos - August 23, 2009
6-4
But the weak-sauce throw drew Fonty’s foot off the bag. Called out, anyway.
Clutch16 - August 23, 2009
One out ... can I has double play here?
Vermont Cubs Fan - August 23, 2009
Theriot you stupid shit!!
Emelie - August 23, 2009
f he dropped it
but time was called
cubs ftw - August 23, 2009
INfield Fly Rule
oh boy..that’s completely wrong
Gibbon Jockey - August 23, 2009
Infield fly?
Ump’s just made a hash of this one.
Clutch16 - August 23, 2009
These umps are fucking awful
MrNFL - August 23, 2009
why was he calling time? any idea?
Gibbon Jockey - August 23, 2009
Runner on third must've asked for time
Allie - August 23, 2009
wtf?
Allie - August 23, 2009
Um...
what the hell happened there?
Chris Dobbertean - August 23, 2009
Apparently...
Time was called before the pitch.
CubsBullsBears - August 23, 2009
Pop-up...
Infield fly? Theriot dropped it… throw home… ball gets away…. What’s happening?!
CubsBullsBears - August 23, 2009
Third base ump granted time out?
No pitch
Allie - August 23, 2009
who asked for time out??
cozmotaylor123 - August 23, 2009
Runner on third, i assume
Allie - August 23, 2009
Looked like the 3B coach
Clutch16 - August 23, 2009
time was called by 3rd base umpire before Theriot crapped in his pants
LAcarl519 - August 23, 2009
damn you Theriot
sue369 - August 23, 2009
Boy if Torre was mad before, he's gonna be livid now...
ballhawk - August 23, 2009
Um...
More controversy coming…
Dou - August 23, 2009
Wait, no pitch?
MrNFL - August 23, 2009
"No pitch" called
Clutch16 - August 23, 2009
PHEWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
cubnational - August 23, 2009
wow, why would 3rd base ump
be calling time out?
VegasCubFan - August 23, 2009
my question exactly
Gibbon Jockey - August 23, 2009
No freaking idea
Clutch16 - August 23, 2009
Theriot just yelled over to the dugout - "Bring me my brown pants!"
ballhawk - August 23, 2009
Theriot's butt saved by the ump
cubnational - August 23, 2009
1-2
CubsBullsBears - August 23, 2009
THink how cheesed WE'd be if Theriot had actually caught it.
Gibbon Jockey - August 23, 2009
double play!
cubs ftw - August 23, 2009

GateCity, VA Cubs Fan - August 23, 2009

sue369 - August 23, 2009

Vermont Cubs Fan - August 23, 2009
Marmol in to close...
This can go 1 of 2 ways…
CubsBullsBears - August 23, 2009
Ya think? :D
Clutch16 - August 23, 2009
Nasty slider fest...
Or a walk-a-thon.
CubsBullsBears - August 23, 2009
Who said anything about "or"
Allie - August 23, 2009

Emelie - August 23, 2009

Clutch16 - August 23, 2009

Cubbiefaithful - August 23, 2009

Clutch16 - August 23, 2009
that way of pitching to Manny with the bases empty is much better than the other way...

Vin Scully: "And Marmol, continues to just baffle hitters."
GateCity, VA Cubs Fan - August 23, 2009
Gotta love Scully
Allie - August 23, 2009
"Continues"?
More like “begins”. ;-)
Cubbiefaithful - August 23, 2009
Vin is the best
To whom would you rather listen, Scully or Hawk?
Not Bruce Froemming - August 23, 2009
Pat Hughes
Allie - August 23, 2009
it will be a sad day when scully is replaced by some hack
jesus christos - August 23, 2009
Harry & Steve
ballhawk - August 23, 2009
Not disputing Vin, I love the guy
Just chuckling at the word choice
Cubbiefaithful - August 23, 2009
Ernie Harwell
CaliCub - August 23, 2009
Bob Uecker
Clutch16 - August 23, 2009
I'd rather listen to rusty nails piercing my ear drums
than listen to Hawk
DTJchris - August 23, 2009
or Michael Bolton's entire repertoire
than listen to Hawk
Cubbiefaithful - August 23, 2009
I celebrate his entire catalog
Da Coach - August 23, 2009
CIA torture expert I'm guessing?
DTJchris - August 23, 2009
quote from Office Space ;)
Da Coach - August 23, 2009
Yes!
I can’t believe I didn’t catch it, but great reference!
DTJchris - August 23, 2009
Hughes, Harwell and Uecker
all excellent choices.
Hawk? Only under threat of death. Even then, I might have to think about it.
Not Bruce Froemming - August 23, 2009
good night all.
let’s hope this is the beginning of a nice string of Ws.
see ya Tuesday!
LAcarl519 - August 23, 2009
night, Carl
Emelie - August 23, 2009
night Carl
sue369 - August 23, 2009
RYAN DEMPSTER and JAKE FOX have
Clutch16 - August 23, 2009
no doubt
sue369 - August 23, 2009
and marmol
jesus christos - August 23, 2009
The beginning of the Miracle Cubs run?
Ace Venom - August 23, 2009
We do play the Nats next
Allie - August 23, 2009
and the Pirates, yes?
Cubbiefaithful - August 23, 2009
Washington and the N. Y. Mets at Wrigley.
Vermont Cubs Fan - August 23, 2009
Oh, the Mets, okay
Cubbiefaithful - August 23, 2009
The 'Mazing Cubbies?
jesus christos - August 23, 2009
Would be sweet
Ace Venom - August 23, 2009
C'mon Al, where's the recap? ;-)
ballhawk - August 23, 2009
Lazy Al :P
Clutch16 - August 23, 2009
I know!
Al’s getting lazy in his old age.
DTJchris - August 23, 2009
its up now
cozmotaylor123 - August 23, 2009
where?
ballhawk - August 23, 2009
no idea
Allie - August 23, 2009
No Mets
like I said in my posting earlier .. if they got us figured out in the next games, I’ll be tuning in to the Bears a lot earlier than last year
cubnational - August 23, 2009
CaliCub - August 23, 2009
I'm so happpy- Cubs win!!!
Cub Fan Mike - August 23, 2009
Superstition
I made a batch of homemade onion rings as a snack during this game. Will I have to keep doing this?
Ace Venom - August 23, 2009
yes
remember to use canola oil .. much better on your arteries
cubnational - August 23, 2009
yes and you must share them with us
sue369 - August 23, 2009
Oh bother
Ace Venom - August 23, 2009
Sharing is caring
Especially with golden, delicious onion rings.
Clutch16 - August 23, 2009
1:02 AM local time here and the alarm is set for 5:45, so good night
eths - August 23, 2009
where are you?
Cub Fan Mike - August 23, 2009
Southern Germany, an expat from the Northside
eths - August 23, 2009
En München?
BigJohnAZ - August 23, 2009
Ja, ich muss aber jetzt wirklich schlafen gehen.
eths - August 23, 2009
Naturlich, es is da spat (insert umlauts where applicable)
Cubbiefaithful - August 23, 2009
I don't speak German, was there last fall so I know some cities auf deutsch
BigJohnAZ - August 23, 2009
Ich bin ein Berliner
which I found out means “I am a donut”!
CaliCub - August 23, 2009
Mmmmmmmmm...donut....
(drools)
Cubbiefaithful - August 23, 2009
Berliner Pfannkuchen
A Berliner could be a citizen of Berlin or also something similar to donut with no hole, so one possible translation would be: “Ich bin ein Berliner” = “I am a jelly doughnut.”
eths - August 24, 2009
Gut schlafen
BigJohnAZ - August 23, 2009
sleep tight
sue369 - August 23, 2009
Guten nacht!
Vermont Cubs Fan - August 23, 2009
hopefully we can then take the make up from the White Sux
if there is ANY game the rest of this year I want to see a W at it will be that one
cubnational - August 23, 2009
Took a little nap
and they scored two runs so I decided to only check score online and keep napping. Much more relaxing than
watching the game.
