ROLE CALL!

Here!

Here

And I answered your UZR question in the last thread, if you’re still interested

Oh, thanks.
can you see me?
Im here,,,but you can't see me
Is everybody in?
In hot water according to my wife...
"The ceremony is about to begin..."
Are you wearing an invisibility cloak?
actually no....sitting on my couch,,,but since

you are not in my house……you cant see me

no

are you having knee surgery?

:-( I hope not
Eh, I don't know about that strike

looked like it was inside

Sounded like it on radio...
Is this the Cubs win thread?
YES - but don't mention it yet
Mention what?
That which should not yet be mentioned
Milton Bradley strikes out.

First time he’s made an out in this series.

To quote George Perles: "Work hard, keep you mouth shut and good things will happen"
did the fans boo?
George Perles? Yes, Spartan fans did boo quite often in his latter years...
Ugh! Bradley K's...

How typical. He sucks so bad. I can’t wait until we’re rid of him and his awful play…

My sarcasm indicator just went crazy.
Scanners detecting extreme sarcasm, captain
DLee strikes out, and Theriot gets caught stealing.
I dunno if its just me.

But your posts show up waay late on my screen.

Huh.

I’m posting them just after it happens on the TV. I don’t get it.

But I did start writing that post a little late.
Just got here

Looks like there’s a little fight left in this team after all. Go Cubs!

How do they look so far?

Hitting was good, pitching was shaky until the explosion in the fifth inning.
Jake Fox rules.
Jake Fox hit a grand slam, highlighting a six-run inning.
We've just been Aaroned.
Crap

And I just took a shower. Looks like I’ll have to take another one

Cold or warm?
Why the hell is Digger Phelps singing TMOTTBG?
Digger Phelps to sing the 7th inning stretch...

Don’t care for Digger…

He thinks WAY too much of himself...
He can sure match a tie...

To a highlighter though.

sweet catch

by rami

Aaron Heilman?

Please be good today.

good-bye Aaron. see you in san Francisco
Nice catch by Ramirez.

One out.

1-4-3

nice play

Luis Castillo grounds it off Heilman's glove, to Fontenot, who throws to Lee for the out.

Two outs.

I can haz Guz

In the 8th? Plz?

Sounds like someone's holding tight to Digger's nuts...

And he just screwed up the song…

I'm sure Fox will show some of it....dammit
Not on the Detroit game feed I'm watching...
or they kicked 'em through his nose
Buck said he did a "very good job" with the stretch. ???
Consider the source...
Daniel Murphy flies out to left.

Three outs. Time for the stretch!

Just how slow IS your ISP?
I'm posting them as they happen on the TV, I'm serious.
DSL?
Fairpoint Communications.

Wireless internet, which has been having all kinds of problems up here. Apparently, the board in Vermont has received hundreds of complaints every month since they bought Verizon’s land lines in February.

I've worked with Wireless ISPs

They can indeed have issues. You may be many, many hops away from their edge.

Slow TV feed maybe?
Yes, one that I set 48 seconds behind the live action.
Wow. Fox-TV is in another time zone today...
Right now MLB.TV (HD) is roughly a minute or a bit more behind reality

So it might be question of how VCB is watching.

I'm watching my local Fox station.

Might be because it’s coming in on my Dish Network.

yep

satellite is usually behind cable

Check below.

I say why it seemed I was slow.

I work for a German production house, and we do the major league German soccer here.

Satellite feeds can also be delayed by many many seconds, especially if the signal is sent over more than one satellite and needs be be transcoded more than once or twice, etc. So it could very easily be your Dish Network which is putting you into a time warp.

Yes, especially when I create the warp myself.

I had apparently set the TV 48 seconds behind the live action. Mea culpa.

Too bad they aren't covering horse racing
Digger is a total jerkoff!

Go Cubs!!

Knock on wood, but Heilman just had a 1-2-3 inning.
Which means he should *not* pitch another
Aaron done good
A-Ram bounces out 3-1
Dome singles.
I think I'll let you handle the PBP from now on.

My local Fox station is behind the times.

Crisp up the middle single for Kosuke
No broken bones for Baker, BTW
That's good to hear
Fantastic news!!!
Another RBI for BAM BAM!

Triple.

its a double
Really?

Double and an error?

I really do not see how that wasn't a triple.
Ah, I guess they say he "advanced to 3rd on the throw home."
I guess he advanced on the throw...

But there was no real play at the plate.

double and advanced to third on throw to home
or the bad throw to home

not sure

Jake triples in Dome! 10-4 Cubs!
i love you jake fox
Jake Fox!!!!!!

Cubs 10, Mets 4!!!!

Fox flashes wheels...

Scores on sac fly.

Sac fly, 11-4 Cubs!
SF by LBR. Cubs lead 11-4. Fox scores...
Fonty Sac Fly

For the RBI!

Koyie Hill singles up the middle!
Hill singles! 14 hits by the Cubs today.
i wonder if heilman hits better than he can pitch
OMG. Heilman is batting for himself...

1st AB of the year…

...

Toonsis! Long time, no see...
Is Heilman batting?

If so, then he might be gone…Lou is going to get every ounce out of his arm today.

at least Heilman is batting instead of Miles
Same dif...
that was my point. at least Lou recognized how useless it was to get Miles off the bench
If you're looking for a scary image...

Aaron Heilman w/ a bat rather than a ball in his hand.

so you are saying the ball in his hand doesn't frighten you?
hielman batting??

ugh.

Heilman pops out. 3 outs. Cubs 11- Mets 4 after 7.
About my play-by-play, it may have seemed I was slow and behind the times.

Satellite is slower than cable, especially when I have the TV set 48 seconds behind the live action.

I’ve set it to live, as Heilman pops out to Franceour.

atleast he got it out of the infield

take notes, miles

Lou actually leaving Heilman in...

for multiple innings in a blow out… I love it!

This is fun, what a great game… this team could easily do what they did in September of 03 and 07 if they get consistent play throughout the lineup like they have today.

OT: Granderson just MISSES a HR with a man on. Rays still up 2-0 over the Tigers.
Fuld in LF for Fox
Franceour flies out to Fuld.

One away.

Francour flies out to Fuld.

Great play according Pat & Ron.

He was running back and caught it on the warning track.
Sam Fuld - the human highlight reel
I think he answers the question about whether he would have caught those balls that Fonzi

coughed up yesterday

yep.

But hard to catch anything with a bad leg…

bad jump & bad wheels makes you pretty useless in the OF
To quote Ronnie: "Yeah"...(silence)...
Sullivan out 1-3. 2 out
Sullivan grounds back to Heilman.

Two outs.

Tatis singles to left.

One on, two out.

11 runs and 14 hits through 7 innings

This team CAN score runs. If we can get Z on track and keep hitting the ball, we just might have a shot at this Wild Card thing…

Tateese (sp?) singles in front of Fuld.
Fernando Tatis

There was something in the air that night…

Dancing Queen
I am not. Can't dance a lick...
I think I read this yesterday...
40,857 at the game today...
Aww

Ronnie predicted only 39K. Sorry random Cub fan who didn’t win anything…

But they were within the guess range so he did win
Al brought a lot of friends today. Ronnie should have checked with him first...
Me like Fuld

Why are they having...

an extended conversation about fantasy football? Ugh, I effing hate Joe Buck.

What do u expect from the FOX bodywashes?
Don't blame Buck there

blame the higher-ups at Fox who are telling him to cross-promote their fantasy service

It's Joe Buck ... did you expect anything else?

They even ran a promo for the opening week of the NFL, which is still two weeks from tomorrow.

Schneider Ks. 3 out!
Schneider strikes out.
another good inning

for heilman. go figure.

hes good against the Nl east

somehow

Going to get him

The three-inning save?

Why not?

If he’s gone by Monday why not get eveything you can out of his arm?

This may have been covered...

…but why is an entire section of the bleachers wearing green shirts? What group are they with?

Family gathering, apparently
That's one helluva family

thanks

They're Irish...
When did they say that?
earlier on the radio
Aaron gone and done it again

An entire Weltanschauung collapses it a pile of dust

ot; Tigers score. Maggs singles in a run. 2-1 Rays.
Theriot Ks (I know it's late)
A Paul Assenmacher reference!

You gotta love that. Who’s next… Jim Bulinger?

hahaha

I was about to say the same thing…

Here I've only seen two pitches
Reply fail - was meant for: Theriot Ks (I know it's late)
Gameboard walks! one on.

4th time on today…

Milton Bradley walks.

One on, one out.

Dang he should run and not walk - what a lazy cuss....

BB for Bradley
Lance Broadway

Sounds like his porn name…

Excellent

The best fake porn name I’ve ever heard? Dick Mountenjoy

Dirk Diggler?
Dick Pole?

Dick Trickle?

Not porn but Biggus Dickus is better
I have a vewwy gweat fwiend in Wome named Biggus Dickus!
He has a wife, you know. You know what she's called? She's called... 'Incontinentia'. Incontinentia Buttocks
I've had enough of this wowdy webel sniggewing behaviour!
But not very subtle...
Do you find it reasonable when I say the name Biggus Dickus?
Wisible?
I've had enough of this wowdy webel sniggewing behaviour. Silence! Call yourselves Pwaetowian guards? You're not-- Seize him! Seize him! Blow your noses and seize him!
Yes, correct.

Didn’t know the script.

I know it almost as well as I know Blazing Saddles

An old bartender and I could do line-for-line on Blazing Saddles. Fun to see how many people we could offend

Buck Naked
He used to be on Hill Street Blues!
MArshall throwing in the pen.
I was expecting Marshall to make a spot start on Monday

should they trade Harden before the noon deadline

Perhaps this is a sign

We’re keeping Harden, at least until the end of the year. :)

marshall was horrible in the rotation

if someone was to make a spot start itd probably be gorzilla

could be him as well..

he did get up today,,,so maybe they are thinking either one depending on who had to pitch

D-Lee DP 6-4-3. On to the 9th!
on full count

lee gounds into dp 6-4-3

DLee grounds into a DP.

On to the ninth!

Might as well let Heilman close it out...
agreed

let the rest of the pen have a rest

OT: top of the 9th, Rays 2- Tigers 1
Marshall in to finish
Marshall in...

Haven’t been able to say it often this year, but GREAT outing by Heilman!

Aaron Boone making a comeback after his open-heart surgery

Good for him

Scary stuff. Good for him indeed.
Hernandez 4-3. One out.
Hernandez grounds out to Fontenot.

One away.

MLB.TV is still showing stupid MLB adverts...
Nick Evans to pinch-hit.
Nick Evans grounds out to Ramirez.

Two away!!!

5-3. 2 out!
marshall's breaking ball

looking good

Whoa

Just saw the score and thought that I would drop in to celebrate.

Soft landing, for sure
ready for the charges of fair weather fan

But I was busy today

CUBS WIN!!!!!

Pagan out 5-3.

Cubs win!!!
Angel Pagan grounds out to Ramirez!

Buck wants to get out of Wrigley
The feeling is mutual...
FLY IT!!!!!!

I've missed this!

Haven’t been around for the last few wins. :)

Sing it loud and clear!

I need to be able to hear you!

:)

Singing as loud as I can. :)

I love how McCarver likes out song so much...
Joe Buck sounded excited about

having to listen to go Cubs go…. lmao

"Oh... i almost forgot..."
Life is good :)
There seems to be some pride left in this team

and this ;-)
A two-game win streak = 2 Miltons.
Let's go for , oh say, 15 Miltons!
I would LOVE 15 Miltons!!!
It started yesterday.
!!! VICTORY !!! Cubs Win !!! VICTORY !!!

Even if MLB.TV has not caught up yet

That girl needs to brush her teeth...

Gross.

OT: Rays added a run. Up 3-1 on the Tigers
Dempster wins and is now 8-7...
Tomorrow, I'll make sure to post some Bill Murray.
