Game Winner Thread!!
Winning thread.
Muffin Man shows bunt
Jeff Baker is a weird-looking dude
He looks like Holliday's little brother.
Yes Sam is on 1st
Vielen Dank für den "Jump"
Let's finish the season

101-61!! Who’s with me?!!

Cmon Baker

either get it down, or swing away

We need Miles here.

He’s our “designated bunter”.

no

we will never, ever NEED Aaron Miles.

Put him on waivers PLEASE
sigh. see this:

http://www.bleedcubbieblue.com/2009/8/22/998532/time-to-dfa-cries-of-dfa-and

EVERYONE is put on waivers. No one took.

Apparently, some guys were just waived, and taken, recently.

Who knows who was waived, and when.

But an NL team just claimed Heilman.

almost certainly did
he probably is already on waivers
I say screw the bunt,

let’s have a walk-off!!

that's what

Ron wants.

I'd be okay with a homer, too
Riot is over due
With a 95-mph fastball coming in, it makes sense to slap the ball to the right side.

Hopefully Theriot remembers how to do this.

Ryan the gaps scores SAM
Wild Pitch!!
wild pitch

Fuld to second!

Inside-out Theriot special, please.
Time for a chink single over the 2nd baseman's head
WP

Fuld to 2nd

the stars are aligning in a strange way ...

What about a Bradley walkoff?

I'll take it
Dare I even hope

That would shut up the boo-birds, at least for one AB

I'd love that.
Come on Theirot

Don’t go 0-4

K not good, is making me angry, is bad thing
Come on Cubs!!!
CMON RIOT!!!!!
At least he's battling......
We need a ROIT NOW
grounded to third

Zimmerman throws Riot out. Fuld holds.

Up to Milty....
cmon Bradley

get a hit. just get a hit.

And the last hope is....
All comes down to HeHateMe

How ironic

Nice XFL reference
Oh man...it's all up to Milton.

This is brutal.

Normally, I'd complain about how pathetic this team has been all season

but in reality, it’s me who’s been pathetic for thinking they could actually do better.

YEAH!! YOU'RE RIGHT!!

I BLAME YOU!

/s

just trying to shoulder some blame

a la LouPa

I've prepared my statement for the post-game conference:

“So this is what rock bottom feels like, eh? Losing 2/3 to the Nationals? Hand me that bottle of Jameson.”

All I have is Bushmills

Sorry

BUSHMILLS! THAT'S A PROSTANT WHISKY!

(name that awesome TV show)

I don't know what show it's from

but I’ve heard that line a LOT.

For what it’s worth, Bushmills Black Bush is my favorite.

It's from THE WIRE, the greatest television show of all time.

Exhibit A: Jimmy McNulty.

I bet the cops on that show drink 6-10 bottles of Jamo every other episode.

That would explain it

I’ve heard nothing but good things about that show. Since I don’t have cable/HBO, I’m a few years behind the times – I’m currently working through the Sopranos.

THE WIRE is the single greatest form of entertainment media in the last decade, probably two.
this could get ugly...
Don't boo Bradley

He may do bad if they boo him

take!!
"they'd give even money now / with Derrek at the bat...."
grounder to the right side

and now it’s over.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Oh no!

Miltie can’t go out to eat tonite

I think it would be interesting

to follow you around and yell at you while you’re out with your family. Make threats towards you. Belittle you. See how you like it.

Good Lord

I never thought I’d ever quote Barney Frank, but “What planet do you spend most of your time on?”

That YouTube video is epic.

He just rips that woman a new one. It’s so awesome.

that video

was sweet indeed.

I'm not sure who is more nutso

Drew or that crazy lady.

Only way to settle it is to count the number of cats sharing space with the offenders.

wait wait wait

this guy is a cards fan. Instead of enjoying their best team since 2004 and a team that is currently kicking ass he spends his time at a CUB blog so he can belittle their right fielder?

how pathetic is that?

Very pathetic.
the only equivalent

i can think of is if I would have spent late august of last year going over to viva el birdos to make fun of Chris Carpenter being injured again.

LAME

Best thing to do is ignore him.
Congrats on not getting banned yet.

I’m in awe.

I think that would be a terrible thing to do.
because we know that has happened how?

He said a waiter was talking bad about him to another table. Big freakin deal.

Give me a break

Milton has been a cancer on every team he’s played on. Just stiring up the same tired crap.

Cub fans knew this-Hendry didn't
except

for the part where it’s completely untrue, ok.

un-freaking-beleveable.
Typical whimpering finish

Put a fork in this crew, they’re DONE!

Hide the Gatorade cooler
the coffins getting full of nails
Guess we can finish the season

100-62

Just goes to show

How truely GOOD we were last year. Which makes this year even tougher.

Hello, and Welcome to Rock Bottom
At least the Cards lost...so we're not 10 games out of first.
otherwise, Mrs. Lincoln ...

how was the play?

till tomorrow
that was just a lot of ugly

good night.

like a battered spouse, I’ll be back for more tomorrow.

Cubs tickets may be much easier to get this September than they were last year.
People will be giving them away
Scalpers will be taking a hit, that's for sure.
Just like the team is with these games they're losing.
I can't stand

Milton Bradley! I can’t stand him whatsoever at all!

LOL - "whatsoever at all"
Me very very sad

Don't give up yet

Cards can’t score runs, threw one away today

Cards play the Nats next

I think runs are in order.

Our offense been pathetic
We can't beat the worst team and bullpen in baseball!!
you bore me

try harder

Thanks for being a nice guy

But your division lead looks like 20 games to the Cubs right now

so does Milton think those booing are racist

what a piece of crap

No reason to boo Milton there

He had a bad day, so what? Yes, he’s kind of a prick, but I don’t blame him.

I blame him for his season, and that fact he is an idiot.
He thinks those

yelling racial slurs are racist.

which they are

but you have grouped those people with those that simply boo him.

no I have not
Ok then we should be ok

anyone who yells racial slurs is a racist.

Anyone who boos based on his performance is not.

We on the same page so far?

Now, has there been one single person here defending the use of racial slurs? If not why are you arguing with those that simply boo him. Are they closet racists?

no

sues saying gameboard is saying that the people yelling racist stuff are racists. not the people booing

No one is disagreeing with Milton

so why is there such a debate?

sorry if my comment started this

I didn’t mean to insinuate Milton thinks all those that boo are racists, it was offhand comment. My bad

DC Cubbie asked if

Milton thought those booing were racist. I said no he thinks the people saying racial slurs are racist. I never said those who boo are racist.

I hate booing of any kind.

agree, see above, thanks Sue
bradley will hopefully be gone after the season

just make it work

We can only hope
hope not

he’s a good fielder, and a good batter.

Where are all the platitudes?
I think there where all the cowboys (have) gone
argh -- 'they are'
for the Nats?
I think they're in Australia

You’re talking about the mammals that lay eggs, right?

What a shitty team
Is Miltie in the dog house because

he mouths off? Soriano much worse on the field isn’t he?

Yeah, but Soriano smiles and stuff.
They both suck
Paid well for it though
Your Cards are showing the Cubs how to run a front office

But the Cubs won’t learn. They never do.

Thank goodness

Jocketty is in Cincinnannattititi (sp?) sucking it up there now. If only the Cubbies would put Hendry out to pasture too.

Soriano is more of a professional about it
Dude's got some sack
At least Miltie don't 'hop'
That was hilarious when he got hurt doing that stupid stuff
He doesn't call everyone who boos a racist
Yeah, same act, different City
There are people here

who can’t handle your frank talk. watch out for the wimps.

Neither does Milton.
I glanced thru the Miltie Hate Thread

Had to stop & take a shower

Scary stuff in there
sad isn't it?
Tuff Season

Internet anonymity breeds bad stuff

Aaaaaaaand I'm out.

coach

This place is gonna suck ass for the next 24 hours. More than last night's.
yes it will
Yep

I’m going to get some work done, and check out the damage tomorrow.

have a good night
oh, well

Maybe this is easier than collapsing in three weeks or getting swept in the playoffs.

Ricketts

Time to add $20MM to the purchase price and eat Milton’s contract.

more like $25 million

He only earned about $5 million this year, IIRC.

Yay, back-loaded contracts!

Soriano a much worse contract than Bradleys IMO
Our OF is bad contracts
Dome's doesn't seem to be that bad.
Not for $26.5MM the next two years
Way to depress me more dude
here's another good one

Dempster is only making $9 million this year.

That means $43 million for three years! Way to go, Jimbo.

Sadly

there’s plenty more. Isn’t it time for Bears season yet?

I'm not a Bears' fan

I think it’s time for a new hobby, though.

Sorry, not my intent
You are correct however

Five more years of fun. I wonder how old he really is? That happens sometimes.

$18M/yr thru 38 was a nutty idea

After 1 good yr for Nats

This is the CUbs.....
Yeah, surprised evrybody when Payroll exploded

If that works, usually only short-term

Time for bed. Good Night all...
I have to take a break tonight

I just can’t stomach this place right now.

The Bradley hate thread did me in for a bit. I’m going to have one last night of frivolity before the kid comes and play video games or read Percy Jackson or look at porn or something.

I'm going to

bake something.

Hey...not to get all Klingon Opera here...

But I’m glad we seemed to have figured out a truce. Been meaning to tell you that for a while.

Thanks for the visit again

Appreciate the hospitality. That’s all I’ll ever offer y’all too. Have a good one.

nice talking to you
Good night, Cubs fan

Despite some trolls, I think today was pretty tame — and there were some good discussions. 2009 clearly isn’t our year. But we’ve been in this situation before. I’m kinda looking forward to playing some kids and regrouping for 2010.

I really hope

Ramirez and Soriano have played their last 2009 games. Let them get healthy for next year.

I want Bradley’s bat back, but if needs a break to get his head right… then that’s what he should get.

by trolls you mean

the fans who could see this train wreck of season back in May when we were playing like crap and had no team chemistry?

That's exacltly what they mean
Tell the truth and they do not like it.
There's no point

risking the health of these guys for what promises to be a pretty ugly balance of the season. When you drop 2 of 3 to arguably the worst team in baseball at home, there’s really not a lot of hope left in the tank. Give Rami and Sori (and the delicate flower Bradley) the rest of the season to mend. Send ROY/Sophomore Skid Soto to a fat farm. And fire sale whatever tix are left for this season because the fannies are slowly going to stop filling the seats. Oh wait..they are still serving beer so the seats will remain fairly full.

Oh wait..they are still serving beer so the seats will remain fairly full.

wow that was original and funny!
