FIRST
Give that man 8 BCB points
where do I redeem them

that’s all I wanna know

The BCB Store

Coming soon…

at

the BCB Snuggie store.

my wife's my only main squeeze

she’d be furious if i ever relied upon a Snuggie

they're big enough

to cover two people.

The commercial is frightening.
it makes me want to throw up a little
It makes me doubt...

…my commitment to being an American.

TIME FOR A VICTORY DANCE

and TIME FOR THE BEGINNING TO THE NEW BEGINNING

this game is going really slowly
Not exactly Maddux on the mound there, is it?
The girls...

…they just showed thought so too. That Asian girl looked plastered.

The Cubs' victory thread!
Shhhh!
Words recanted.

Let’s wait to see what happens.

Cubs victory is assured!

No, I didn’t say it out loud.

Never ever assured

but looking good!

Dibble the Asshat

1) Says “Psst, Milton, they’re talking about you at the next table”. Stay classy, Robbo.

2) Then says “It’s football season so they’re must be a QB controversy in Chicago”. I guess the news about Jay Cutler never got up to him while riding on his high horse.

i wish Lou could have cold cocked him in that locker room in Cincy
He's always been a blowhard
Dibble + Kevin Kennedy = why I cancelled my XM Radio subscription
i live in dc

and i have to listen to that tool all the time. sometimes i just have to mute the tv—he’s really aweful.

Marmol's gonna sit down for a little bit
Bradley walks.
Take that hate thread! hand gesture
Bradley walks

in an 8-pitch at bat. I love this guy.

He's stat padding, man!

No love! Hate only!

Did you ever hear the story from Pete Rose

that one of the reasons he broke the all time hits record was that he never quit trying to get hits in blowouts or games that they would probably lose? He said most guys relaxed at the plate during blowouts, he kept pushing.

The sacks are packed with Cubs!!!!

Let’s score some more runs here!!!!

AYBACWC
The universal translator has has been confiscated.

Could I have that in English, please?

All Your Base...
could have just posted the picture !!!!
Tough to find it these days
this one?

they are not clogged anymore
but they were unclogged

in the best way!

Dome is trying to re-clog them
August

It’s the 26th of August and there hasn’t been ONE day yet this month in which the Cubs won and the Cards lost on the same day. Not even ONCE. You have to go back to July 30th to find the last time it happened. The guy who won for the Cubs that day got traded after the game – Kevin Hart.

I’ll feel better if we can just have one friggin’ day the the Cubs win and the Cards lose on the same day.

Now that was depressing to see in print. :(
so kevin harts the reason the cubs are 8 games back?
No

But maybe if I put it in writing, this ridiculous streak will stop.

maybe tomorrow mate
That happens

when you’ve won 9 games in a month.

Everybody doesn't like something

But nobody doesn’t like Derrek Lee!

Wide open!! Love it!
Two more

they really gotta pull this guy

They'll need a bullpen tomorrow
Agreed

but at some point you can’t let someone hang out there anymore. 1/3 IN and 5-7 runs is probably it

In play, run(s)!!!!!!
It's happening???!?
Where's lexmarklover?

Isn’t that his line???

He's out buying an HP printer
Revenge is a dish best served cold

CUB – LARE!

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

ain't nothing more terrifying than Ricardo Montalban in a 23rd century mullet
Khaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan!!!!!!
It is very cold... in space....
Best. Star. Trek. Movie.
EVER
THAT is where the franchise should have ended

and gone right into Generations. Every other movie after that sucked.

Yep, pretty much
That, and the "Undiscovered Country."

But Khan is definitely the best.

Star Trek VI is also my 2nd fave film of the series
It's very cold

In spaaaaace!

8-2 and Lou is warming up Marmol?
He was already warmed up

Might as well use him

My bad, forgot the game was close when the inning started.
Now my lunch time

Now your win is almost insured, and it’s my lunch time now… today I would go for KFC chicken, a popular food in Okinawa, and their chicken is way better that KFC sells in US!


and I will do translations of Dome’s new diary tonight… stay tuned.

Arigato, dragon!

Enjoy your lunch!

yummy

have a great day, dragons. was nice to see ya again!

No low transfat oil over there, brother! Real shortening, I'll bet.

I’m a old KFC cook/manager from back in the day when we cooked the chicken in pots like the Colonel did. I still LOVE KFC.

That looks good.
I just had dinner and if he put that plate in front of me it would be in my belly in a heartbeat lol
It's made me hungry now.
And I wonder why I weigh 300 pounds :-(
lol, I hear ya.
The sad part is, as I get older, I eat stuff I would have never eaten when I was younger!

My tastebuds are always expanding their reach LOL

In play, run(s)!!!!
YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Have we batted around?

No — not yet, I think.

We just have--now.

Dome is up for the second time this inning.

fuky started ibelive
Just now

Dome led off

i just dont understand these guys one day they struggle to get A run, then others they just light up the pitchers like crazy

geez.. it’d be nice to get the latter more

oh another Dome AB?

I would check it our before leaving to KFC….

Does Dome...

…break .300 this year?

damnit dont be hurt fukman
wha happen!
Fouled one off his right leg
im too poor to afford MLB TV and too far from CSN

WHAT HAPPENED????

Dome GIDP.

End of inning.

Kosuke fouled a ball off his foot

he’s fine. GIDP though

that's ok

he already got to score.

Let’s get the three, and be DONE!

On to the ninth!

Who’s coming in to pitch?

carmol
Fail.
marmoliscious isnt that much better pal
It works his full name...

…into it; your’s didn’t.

Fail.

mine worked a portion of his first and last name into it so it did

therefore yours fail, Marmolade, marmolasses, Carmol, all foods. marmoliscious isnt

huh inning ending DP

we call it a “harvest” in anyway…

see you folks

See you later!

Enjoy your lunch!

I'd say we earned this...

Where mailce with Kim Bauer?
Chauvinistic pig!

She’s a journalist and should not be objectified!

(That was what I was told to say)

Unless that objectiveness....

…takes place through a peep hole camera.

that scum sucker should be shot
A journalist who wears slinky outfits

and makes goopy eyes at half-dressed ballplayers in the clubhouse…

And she
Is hot
hottttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt
I would mind objectifying her

If you get my exceptionally childish drift

Carlos Marmol says

57 million dollars? Meh. I’ll win this furshlugginer game!

Boo for Blue there
STOP WALKING PEOPLE PLEASE!
This should be

I PITY the fool that tries to hit my stuff!

back to back walks, c'mon carlos.
Please stop walking everyone in sight!
Good god

Just throw meatballs down the middle, you’re up 7

Len n' Bob...

…need to get out of the booth. Go broadcast from the bleachers!

Did Gregg slip him money to make this a save situation?
Someone's up

in the pen, right?

heilman

these situations are perfect for him!

there's a strike.
i cannot believe this crap

what is with him??????

dammit come on Carlos
WTF, Ump?
When you can't throw strikes, you're not gonna get calls

Thats funny, especially in the 9th inning.
boy

those balls are right on the edge, according to Gameday…

C'mon Lou get him out of there!
Hey, ump!

I believe that was strike three there!

walked. the bases. full.
thanks. for the. update
Nothings ever f'ing easy!

Geezus!

I'm glad this isn't on TV here

A 7 run lead with 3 outs to get is about as easy as it gets.

Been a while since we found a NEW way to lose
Haven't lost yet
true

but the effort is refreshing

There's one
Which shouldn't have been recorded...
But we'll take it.

Breaks can go our way every so often.

good grief

and I thought the Burger King king was creepy
alright.

one out. The run is fine.

3 batters

none have swung the bat. Their coaches must be smart.

Can I has double play now?
Nieves

didn’t this assmunch hit a walk off against us one game?

I think we Marmolproofed this one.
marmol has walked more people in this inning

than the rest of the pitchers have all game

And they're on their feet in Wrigley!
all 400 of them
Yeah.

Three million people, and you can’t fill a 41-thousand seat stadium? For same.

Three strikes to go.
That six-spot in the eighth inning was HUGE.
a K!

two outs! COME ON!

Wow, you guys are about two minutes behind
gameday is really slow all of a sudden,

at least mine is it just registered the K

As many swings as outs this inning.
why does anyone swing at anything Marmol throws?
oh, I dunno

a lot of those were pretty close.

to unload the bases that he walked full?
oy vey

come on…

Should have brought Gregg in

to do the mop up

Well if there's ever a time to have a bad game

it’s when we’re up 7

Strike this MF out!
CUBS WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
fly it, for the love of Ernie ... FLY IT

enjoy it while you can Cubs Nation ..

1-2

Cubs win!!

Ron Coomer

so's Rob Dibble
Ron Coomer looks like a fat gopher
K!!! CUBS WIN!! !CUBS WIN!!!! CUBS WIN!!!!!

Whew.

FLY IT!!!!!!

Play it again, Monty!
Can I do it without the drama in the ninth inning?
It's been so long

I’m not sure how to post win pics any more.

have the hearts always been there?

or is it really that long since i saw my girl last?

it's been that long

Remember. Flowers say it.

yeah

it’s just been that long.

great

now i’m grumpy.

I'm taking

my wife to bed. So I won’t be grumpy. :D

i still dont feel safe with marmol closing
Want Gregg back?
no
The thought of either closing make me wanna gack
is bruce sutter a free agent?

love this
Haven't seen him too much this month
I know, we need to see much more of him. :D
According to how we've played this season

we will have an over .500 month in September, so you never know!

Nice to see the bats do some talking tonight

good night on a happy note.

Cubs win!

This picture never gets old
MILTON BRADLEY HAS

MORE LIKE STAT PADDING POWER

HAHAHHA

Post this in the Milton Bradley taunts Cubs fans thread.

j/k

heh

had my say there, said I wasn’t going back.

Now I have to look at that thread

(sigh)

what a fucking ridiculous post that was

ugh.

You didn't see the j/k?

I wasn’t being serious.

I glanced over the thread, but I’m not saying anything there.

not you

the stupid “bradley’s asking for it” thread

Oh, sorry, misread there.

I’m not putting anything there, due to the hate that’s floating around.

The hate in that thread*
Agreed and stupid BM

said the “if it wasn’t for baseball Bradley would be in jail” again. I hope Al sees that and bans his ass.

I noticed that too.

Just plain wrong.

how about the fact its been rec'd 5 times?

that makes me ill.

I certainly would not rec a comment like that.
i dont get the point of the thread

let players be assholes to assholes i say

indeed he does

I dare you to post this pic in the hate Bradley thread.

sigh.

ok. you talked me into it.

there ya go.

http://www.bleedcubbieblue.com/2009/8/26/1003727/bradley-routinely-taunting-wrigley#20283302

Thanks Drew.
Man, that thread is still active.

I’ve read through some of the comments … glad I’m staying out of there!

lol @ Milton
night all, thanks for the entertainment
the Cubs Nation goes W crazy!

-5 BCB points

for using the phrase “cubs nation”

ugly ending

what is wrong with marmol? unbelievable.

i hope Lou rips him a new one

that’s inexcusable for crying out loud

FFS

what on earth does yelling at him do?

ugh.

well, as perverse as this sounds,

it would make me feel better

well

just pretend that Lou yelled at him then.

Someday, people will figure out that the manager cannot MAKE a pitcher throw strikes. Unless he’s a player manager, who is also a pitcher.

and yelling does NOTHING to improve performance
Make him cry?

Can Lou curse in Spanish?

Can Lou curse in Spanish???

Is Smellular Field a soulless concrete tub?

im sure he and the cool kids said puto in middle school
I bet they brought rum n' coke...

…to school in old coke bottles, too.

and wore leather jackets

with gelled hair!

unfortunately

i don’t know who else they can use right now as a “closer.” marshall? at least he can throw strikes.

I'd feel a whole lot better with Marsh doing that

than Marmol at this point ..

me too.

no faith in gregg either. it’s bizarre that gregg and marmol were competing for the closer role in spring training and neither one has been able to do it consistently.

Good news...

…is we can pick up a game on the Rocks in the WC. Mid-9, 6-1 Brooklyn.

well

who knows if this is the start of something, but either way, it’s a hell of a lot more fun to win then to lose.

See you all tomorrow, Cubs fans!

I'm out of here. But before I go, I'm thinking about baiting BLou
go for it

night

Quick note the losing pitcher Bergman was a substitute teacher at my high school

when he was in the minors. He worked with are baseball team a couple times threw bp and such. Real nice guy.

That's cool.
A much bettwer way to wake up in the morning. This should happen more often.
