Could be my low expectations, but he handled the song pretty well. Good idea to go for the minimal singing and let the crowd carry the tune. Somebody advise Butkis to do the same.
DLee-a class guy
ARam-clutch hitter when healthy
Fox-of course!
Fuld-Plays the game right
Blanco’s fielding
Hill-a good backup catcher who’s been through a lot.
Lilly-Our best pitcher
Wells-A nice season, should have more wins, but team let him down.
Harden when he’s on.
I like Hoff-but understand he’s had some issues.
That’s about it. Most of the rest of the team are bunch of overpaid lazy babies. Lou and Hendry suck too.
Lou said before the game that if Blanco could just hit .240 or .250, his glove would make him valuable enough to get more playing time. Blanco taking action?
Go Cubs
Thanks again Carl.
chilango2 - September 13, 2009
back at ya!
even if you are a Vikings fan (and I am a Packer fan)
LAcarl519 - September 13, 2009
Boo both of you. ;-)
sue369 - September 13, 2009
all I'll say is I am a lot more anxious about tonight's game than this one.
…but I would never boo you Sue, true! :-)
LAcarl519 - September 13, 2009
I was just kidding :D.
I feel about this game as I did about the Iowa game yesterday. That turned out well so I’m hoping tonights does too.
sue369 - September 13, 2009
I was just teasing you. I saw the wink
LAcarl519 - September 13, 2009
BTW, I just hope for a good game tonight and I hope that no one gets hurt on either
Since it is in GB, I think more pressure is on them, but again, let's just see both teams play a good game and see what they both have in 2009.Good luck. :-)
LAcarl519 - September 13, 2009
Yes to no injuries.
Looking forward to a good game tonight. Good luck to you too. :D
sue369 - September 13, 2009
Dear Bears/Packers fans:
“Vikings take home a 34-20 victory. Adrian Peterson leads the way with 180 rushing yards and 3 TDs.”
2009 MVP:
chilango2 - September 13, 2009
Yeah?
The Vikings still suck; it’s a law of nature.
Vermont Cubs Fan - September 13, 2009
Flagged
chilango2 - September 13, 2009
For what?
What can I say, I’m a Packers fan. It felt like betrayal when Favre un-retired again.
Vermont Cubs Fan - September 13, 2009
For being a Packers fan.
I was kidding, you know…
chilango2 - September 13, 2009
Ah, thanks.
You had me worried there.
Vermont Cubs Fan - September 13, 2009
I don't flag--not even Clutche during the worst of his days.
Now, if I were to police the threads, you all would be flagged and cut:
chilango2 - September 13, 2009
:P
sue369 - September 13, 2009
I only flag if a person is acting very rudely.
Meaning BLou, aramis/sackings108, BLou, circles, BLou…
Vermont Cubs Fan - September 13, 2009
Are there any Bears fans on this site?
shifafaontheside - September 13, 2009
I am.

vonde6 - September 13, 2009
you are a genreous grader
LAcarl519 - September 13, 2009
that was unexpected...
jesus christos - September 13, 2009
I was hoping Milton would reward Sue's faith in him
But alas…another K with RISP
shifafaontheside - September 13, 2009
bradley and geo have switched roles
geos the one hitting and bradleys the one looking at strike 3 with RISP
jesus christos - September 13, 2009
Funny how that happens sometimes.
sue369 - September 13, 2009
his BA w/RISP has got to be a mess. he doesn't even make contact most of the time.
I like the guy but he is a head case when hits matter. He has taken over for Sosa as a “Mr Irrelevant” hitter.
LAcarl519 - September 13, 2009
Who has that picture of Caridad
That gets posted whenever he appears
shifafaontheside - September 13, 2009
it was deleted apparently
jesus christos - September 13, 2009
nope nm
jesus christos - September 13, 2009
I like the kid. I hope he improves a bit during the winter and spring.
chilango2 - September 13, 2009
Thank you
I feel much better now
shifafaontheside - September 13, 2009
Theriot would have played that into a double at SS
TJ11 - September 13, 2009
This has been a long game.
sue369 - September 13, 2009
no sheet
LAcarl519 - September 13, 2009
I just noticed it's 4 o'clock
I’ve wasted the entire day…
The very-very last King of the Hill ever is on tonight. Then the season finales of Hung and Entourage…
chilango2 - September 13, 2009
I don't watch
any of those shows. I will have NBC ontonight tho. ;-)
sue369 - September 13, 2009
not last Entourage, just a new show
LAcarl519 - September 13, 2009
I thought it was season finales for both shows.
Entourage has jumped the shark pretty badly. I watch it out of self-loath, much like yesterday’s Cubs game.
chilango2 - September 13, 2009
Nice pick by Lee
TJ11 - September 13, 2009
Blanco just showed how he is not theriot on that bare-handed play
LAcarl519 - September 13, 2009
Lee Smith is the Cubs best RP now
TJ11 - September 13, 2009
imitating Isaac Hayes with the stretch...
LAcarl519 - September 13, 2009
Lee Smith
Could be my low expectations, but he handled the song pretty well. Good idea to go for the minimal singing and let the crowd carry the tune. Somebody advise Butkis to do the same.

Things I like about the Cubs.......
DLee-a class guy
ARam-clutch hitter when healthy
Fox-of course!
Fuld-Plays the game right
Blanco’s fielding

Lilly-Our best pitcher

That’s about it. Most of the rest of the team are bunch of overpaid lazy babies. Lou and Hendry suck too.
TJ11 - September 13, 2009
Can't argue with you on any of that dude.
chilango2 - September 13, 2009
Is Fox finally playing today?
Vermont Cubs Fan - September 13, 2009
no
HAFPAWAR is
jesus christos - September 13, 2009
Geez.
What does Lou have against Fox?
Vermont Cubs Fan - September 13, 2009
I hope its the last straw and gets Lou fired
TJ11 - September 13, 2009
a hen house
LAcarl519 - September 13, 2009
Nope. I would
love to know why too. Makes no sense what so ever.
sue369 - September 13, 2009
Lou seems like a bitter old man now.
TJ11 - September 13, 2009
get off of his goddamn lawn, kid
vonde6 - September 13, 2009
He does seem to hold
a grudge which is childish.
sue369 - September 13, 2009
In the basket!
chilango2 - September 13, 2009
that other Lee
launches one…..
vonde6 - September 13, 2009
In the immortal words of Harry Caray:
HELLO EVERYBODY!
Vermont Cubs Fan - September 13, 2009
you'll need to slur those words a little more
vonde6 - September 13, 2009
isn't it EVARBODY?
LAcarl519 - September 13, 2009
that's better
Sounds more like Harry, and also that Doctor on the Simpsons.
vonde6 - September 13, 2009
hey VCF
sue369 - September 13, 2009
How are we doing today?
The Cubs, that is.
Vermont Cubs Fan - September 13, 2009
How would you say Caridad backwards?
shifafaontheside - September 13, 2009
I don't know.
I’m not fluent in that language.
Vermont Cubs Fan - September 13, 2009
Gregg in to pitch to Votto
urp
vonde6 - September 13, 2009
K'd him
Hope it’s not just luck.
chilango2 - September 13, 2009
good Gregg today
I hope so
vonde6 - September 13, 2009
I really needed Gameday today.
I was missing everything.
Vermont Cubs Fan - September 13, 2009
Throw Dusty out!
Make the fans happy!
TJ11 - September 13, 2009
Or Lou
shifafaontheside - September 13, 2009
Sorry Phillips
but the pitcher had started the delivery
vonde6 - September 13, 2009
Gregg does the job
to the bottom of the eighth
vonde6 - September 13, 2009
123 nothing across
shifafaontheside - September 13, 2009
guzman has not pitched in 5 days
ay carumba…
jesus christos - September 13, 2009
Len said he has an oblique strain. Let's hope it's not double-speak for "punished like a 2nd-grader."
chilango2 - September 13, 2009
i guess that justifies using gregg and hurlman..
jesus christos - September 13, 2009
lol @ hurlman
sue369 - September 13, 2009
oblique = Lou
LAcarl519 - September 13, 2009
I missed that and agree
with the rest of your comment.
sue369 - September 13, 2009
MVP today
Lilly and Blanco.
Though Lee hit a HR and has dug out several balls at 1b today.
TJ11 - September 13, 2009
Why wouldn't Blanco start at SS tomorrow?
TJ11 - September 13, 2009
Because Piniella hates us.
chilango2 - September 13, 2009
It is mutual
TJ11 - September 13, 2009
Blanco has good wood today...
he serves it up..
BleedsbluinMI - September 13, 2009
Blanco has raised his average to .250 today
Lou said before the game that if Blanco could just hit .240 or .250, his glove would make him valuable enough to get more playing time. Blanco taking action?
vonde6 - September 13, 2009
In play, run(s)!!!!!
Vermont Cubs Fan - September 13, 2009
Scales gets it done, 5-0
vonde6 - September 13, 2009
5-0. Scales FC RBI.
chilango2 - September 13, 2009
look for scales to start in LF tomorrow because of this meaningless geico run
jesus christos - September 13, 2009
Let's hope that it is a meaningless run
vonde6 - September 13, 2009
Len says what most of us have been saying for months about Scales and Miles
TJ11 - September 13, 2009
ya, no sheet: "Miles has to earn his job next season."
I wonder why he didn’t have to earn his job for the last 3 months on the roster this season!
LAcarl519 - September 13, 2009
Geico Run-Excellent!
TJ11 - September 13, 2009
Scales hustle made that happen
A lesser man would have been double up
shifafaontheside - September 13, 2009
Bradley 0-5 with 3 K's
Booooooo!
TJ11 - September 13, 2009
I'll be the last person to defend Bradley, but
booing seems pointless at this juncture of the season.
chilango2 - September 13, 2009

shifafaontheside - September 13, 2009
It does, but i feel better now-He can't hear me from my desk....I know
TJ11 - September 13, 2009
who's pitching the 9th?
BleedsbluinMI - September 13, 2009
Grabow
BleedsbluinMI - September 13, 2009
ok, thanks
BleedsbluinMI - September 13, 2009
i find it odd that how in this game that miles didnt PH in this game when the cubs didnt need runs at the time
but PH yesterday with the game tied
jesus christos - September 13, 2009
wasn't it a lefty-righty matchup thing?
I think Miles was the only righty left off of the bench yesterday.
vonde6 - September 13, 2009
big z or dempster is more useful than miles
jesus christos - September 13, 2009
The lint inside my belly button is more useful...
chilango2 - September 13, 2009
please don't post a picture
vonde6 - September 13, 2009
Looked like Bradley got out of the way of that one
TJ11 - September 13, 2009
Brenly said Bradley took a bad route
TJ11 - September 13, 2009
well I disagree with BB.
one outfielder has to go deep and one has to be “inside” if they both go to the wall they will collide at full speed—not good.
LAcarl519 - September 13, 2009
I am sure Soriano would have had that
TJ11 - September 13, 2009
Fonzi would have played that into a triple
LAcarl519 - September 13, 2009
He would have got cought in the ivy himself
TJ11 - September 13, 2009
uhhh
jesus christos - September 13, 2009
Better get Marmol up!
TJ11 - September 13, 2009
That was HORRIBLE baserunning by the Reds
TJ11 - September 13, 2009
uh oh cub killer stubbs!
jesus christos - September 13, 2009
Doesn't matter....
TJ11 - September 13, 2009
HE STRIKES AGAIN
jesus christos - September 13, 2009
Get Grabow out!
TJ11 - September 13, 2009
why?
