Let's keep the lead thread.
Please win today.
Crush them!

Sit Dome down for Taguichi. Maybe that’ll get his attention?

Gammel pops out to LBR. GREAT CATCH!
Nice catch Mike.
Riot throws out Rivera on a tapper over the mound. 2 out.
nice to see Riot charge a ball. didn't know he had it in him...nice!
Escobar = latest version of Cub killer
Escobar walks with 2 out. One on. Bush coming up.
how about a round of applause for that beautiful JUMP? well done, clutch16
Yeah, that's sweet.
Nice work, thanks!
It was "purty"...
Standing O for the graphic
Aw, thanks guys!

It’s in my flickr (rwkasten) – want me to add it to the BCB group?

Bush singles to left on the 1st pitch. 2 on. Lopez up.
Wow, that was the coolest jump ever!
Lopez also walks. Bases loaded for Gerut.
Come on Wells

don’t blow it.

Randy: Didn't you get the memo about walks back in the 1st inning?

Just don’t.

What is it with Cub pitchers and two outs ?

Got to go now. WIN THE GAME ( but without me).

Have a good one!
Gerut hits a friggin GRAND SLAM.

5-2 Brewers.

Gerut. Not Braun. Not Fielder. Gerut.
So, a grand slam. That's bad, right?
Give Gerut some credit...

that wasn’t a terrible pitch.

Len keeps talking about how the pitching staff hasn't given up any home runs for 5+ games.

I’ll blame him. Taking a page out of the “no personal blame” book by T.O.

Walk a couple more guys, Randy

Fuck

You've got to be f***ing kidding
Wow that SUCKED

um so maybe SCORE some runs when I am gone.

Nice work

Keep walking guys and giving up hits to pitchers and you’ll be starting next year back in AAA.

Kind of an extreme reaction to a guy

who has been our most PLEASANT surprise.

He was but has been backsliding a bit lately
Maybe it's time to shut him down for the year
Another guy shut down?

Do we have no pitchers with any endurance? Everyone seems to be out of gas.

It's Wells's first full season, so I wouldn't be surprised if he's out of gas.
GOODMOODKILLER
Buzzkill...if I had one...which I don't...
Wells: 5 walks. 3 have scored. MArshall up in the pen.

and Braun strikes out to end the inning.

Now we know what it takes to get Marshall into a game.
he's just holding a spot for Heilman
Actually, Sean did pitch last night.

But he has been rather scarce lately.

LET'S TRY HEILMAN

for long-relief

You are nothing if not consistent.
objectively

even al admits heils has been much improved since mid-august

Yeah, he's looked pretty good his last couple times out.
you are not objective

don’t even claim you are

for the last month

Aaron Heilman has an ERA of 1.86, in 9.2 innings pitched, facing 36 batters and giving up 8 hits, for a WHIP of 0.931.

great

it doesn’t change the fact that Custer is the biggest Heilman cheerleader on this board, to the point where he often claims he should be in the rotation.

except that the comment was

“objectively, even Al admits Heils has been much improved since Mid August.”

This statement is, in fact, true.

and MY statement is that Custer isn't objective when it comes to Heilman

and he isn’t.

If Heilman hadn’t put up those stats, Custer would STILL be calling for Heilman to be put in in all situation, and you know it, even if you won’t admit it.

it's got nothing

to do with the statement.

it's got everything to do with my statement
So what? Does it hurt

anything that he supports Heilman? I’d rather read that stuff than so and so sucks or that guy should be shot.

it's annoys me

much like the stuff you claim annoys you. You choose to comment on those you disagree with, so do I.

Brian is a fan

of Heilman. Leave him alone.

umm, or what?
You don't want to know :P
i had to step away

thank you, sue! :)

Gameset: Bottom of 4. Cubs coming up.

Brewers 5
Cubs 2.

wind blowing in, out, or not?
Very IN. But straight in from center
ty, Zeke.

Looking forward to Sat. Be nice to the domers

Depends on which Spartan teams shows up.

Could be a cake walk for you …

A base hit there would have pissed me off

Not quite sure how to properly describe how the GS made feel. Numb is probably the best word for the moment…

Gameboard pops out for the first out.
I almost asked who Gameboard is - damn it's been a long week...
Did Bradley take any pitches?
Baker singles in front of Gerut.
Wells coming back to earth

A lot of bad starts lately. I’d pencil him as a #5 starter next year at best.

Yep
Nah, let's throw lots of money at some crummy veteran free agent

You know that’s what Hendry wants to do.

His first two starts this month were fine.
Single. Baker stops at second.
Sausage party on the rooftop.
All guys?
No, hot dogs, bratwurst, thuringers...y'know, sausage party.
Corizo. Never. Wins.
Let's tie this fucker
Malice....chill out on the f-bombs, K?
LOL - one too many? K...
What are the Miller Park sausages doing at one of the rooftop venues?
Hill strikes out. Hoff batting for Wells.
cmon micah, please!!!!
TWSS
That's what SHE said

Let me guess how she got those dollar bills...
I wouldnt know what you are referring to..
the same way she "earned" those ta-tas
Out of the bottom of the beer bottle?
is that like a coin/change box in the bottom left hand corner???

is she selling pink flamingos or something???

Seems like a nice girl.

You know, the kind you take home to mom.

Hoff 2 run 2B

Woot!

Hoff doubls to right. 2 runs score
cubs offense showing nice resiliency lately

nm

Way to go, Hoff!

Back in business, baby!

Let's get the Hoff home!!
We need a big inning, lets go!!!1
Half a grand slam is always good, too
damn you Braun
something about a blind squirrel...
with those eyes?

he’s TOTALLY not blind.

Riot flies out to DEEP left. 3 out. end 4. 5-4 Brewers...
warning track power into the wind

Great, and when we need a sac, we’ll get a k.

OK, I’m done, rant complete

Hoff, I think I love you...
♪♫ ...but what am I so afraid of... ♪♫
I'm afraid that I'm not sure of

a Cub there is no cure for…

did you just feel the earth shake?
Was the sky tumblin' down

A-tumblin’ down?

love me some Carole King. Much better than listening to Judd...
And it was just then that the game turned ugly.
fielder triples past bradley.
was Dome spectating on that?

where was the back up on that? it was in the gap.

Gameboard. Not running full speed. Ball gets by to the wall.
MB did take a shallow angle to cut it off, but why didn't Dome go behind and deep?
Don't know how far to the left of center he was...
it hit the small door in RCF
I meant how far Dome was away from where the ball landed
boy oh boy oh boy

Ron oddly silent

cameron grounds out. fatty holds
There is a sizable ditch now next to the 3rd base bag...
Marshall Ks 'em! 2 out. Fatty still at 3rd.
Sean Marshall, ladies and gentlemen!!!
Rivera Ks. Marshall gets out of the inning. Fielder stranded at 3rd.
Hungry Heifer left at third...
Well done Sean.....

need more runs Cubs.

So who is this Sean Marshall fellow?

LUGNUT POWER!

he's our platoon LFer
Waitasec. Fielder? Triple?

Head go splodey

Gameboard with the assist
an assist implies effort...
Im trying to remain POSITIVE

THANK YOU. LIND WOULDVE HAD IT

our OF makes ANYONE fleet of foot
I wonder if Lou will pull Milton again.
stop with the sex talk
Dome leads off the 5th by flying out to center...
Had some pasky work get in the way of the Cub game.

Nice to see Hoffy come through.

D-Lee is robbed by a sliding catch by Gerut. 2 out.
Fox flies to left. 3 out. End of 5.
Heilman warming up in the pen
and he's in to pitch the 6th
question: why can't Marshall pitch more than one inning? geez
I believe he used to actually start games and pitch several inning in a row

…about a 100 years ago…

There another question I'd like to have asked of Lou.
ahh...

the good ole days, when we used to win the world series

There was probably like only 8 teams too.
yeah...

every state had a team…

:P

Well, he used to only pitch to a batter or two...

Baby steps.

because we have a nincompoop as a manager
Can't argue with that.
because it's not worth it?
Which Heilman will we get today?
The good one, again.

The cynic in me wants to say he’s pitching for a job next year, but, hey, give him some credit.

He goes 1-2-3 and he can pitch for Charlie Manson for all I care...
Fly to left. One out.
Bush Ks. 2 out. Lopez up.
Guess I missed a whole lot since the 3rd, huh?
Lopez Ks. 3 out. 5-4 Brewers mid 6.
Heilman with a 1-2-3 inning!
Gameboard singles to right...
Milton Bradley got a base hit! Milton Bradley got a base hit! Milton Bradley got a base hit!
repent...

for the end is nigh!

BWAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Dennis Miller asking "How's [Bradley] behaving here?"
How much time you got today Dennis?
Miller is not a fan.
He's goin' off - pretty funny.
Bradley pulls the ball into the hole at 2nd for a hit.

I’d like him to go the other way on that one.

Bradley pulled for Scales.
Sorry, I got pulled away by work - how the hell did we get out of...

…that lead-off triple inning? Awesome.

A grounder to third and two Ks
Thanks and Wow. Whoa... hold up, Fielder was the with the triple??? Yikes.
Good job by the fan not to interfere..just in case it was fair.
Baker chops to 3rd. Scales takes 2nd. RISP. One out.
Place your bets
We're gonna score!!!
ummm, no action here
Let's tie this ******
f-er...

i’ll say it for you, malice

friendly looking woman up?
Dennis Miller firing off baseball references like an M-16.
It's rather impressive actually.

That Durocher joke was good too.

I used to really like him

It’s a shame he lost his damn mind a few years ago.

+100000

He used to be one of the BEST.

-100000

Yeah, supporting the troops is a real bad thing.

oh for god's sake

I should have guessed you of all people would make a comment like this

Of course, lip off when someone doesn't think the same way you
it wouldn't serve much of a purpose if I lipped off

when people agreed with me 100% would it?

Everybody doesn't agree with you

and just leave it at that.

+1

Will refrain from political commentary at this time

I hear, I also avoided it...
C'mon guys, lets respect Al's rules about politics.
Sadly, Miller himself can't avoid doing so.
What are you guys listening to? He's not on WGN.
I'm on the MLB audio...but he should be on 'GN, no?
Not a peep from wgn
Do you mean TV or radio?
TV
Ah, OK - Miller is on the radio side right now.
Tanks, I was wondering how he got involved with this game.
He's singin' the stretch.
That should be interesting...
my bad, he is still on radio side
he's on the radio side, or was
Yeah, I feel the same way.
I still like him, even more actually

Love the charity he’s talking about, too

LBR walks. 2 on.
Bring 'em home.
OT: Just what is it about the Royals that scares the Tigers so much? Sheesh...
I. for one, love it.

Go Twins.

Hill Ks. 2 out. A-Ram coming up!
Bradley questions

Love that Dennis Miller is the only one saying, “Hey, what about Bradley?”

this is because

Dennis Miller is an idiot.

yeah, nothing to do with Bradley's

.184 average this month, the fact that he no longer takes pitches, or has a history of attitude problems.

I see you’ve expanded the “Alfonso Soriano can do no wrong” bandwagon to include Bradley now that Soriano has gone down

boy

and people wonder why I don’t come around here so often anymore.

Illicat = Dennis Miller.

Drew...grow some thicker skin and stick around.
my skin

has been sanded thin.

I get it

as long as everyone lets you say whatever you want with no response, you’re fine. Get back talk, and you leave.

Awesome

You should also follow the rules about namecalling, Drew.
Exactly

just keep marching and have another glass of blue Kool-Aid. Don’t berate any of our precious little Bears!!!

Hola SeƱor Latte!
Bush out

(and TWSS)

God I hate it when they play "YMCA"...

Hate it. Hate it. Hate it.

You don't like celebrating alternative lifestyles?
Man, we just can't hold back the political discussions today.
I always thought it was just celebrating bad music
haha - that's funny +1
They play YMCA

when they misplace their “Best of the Bee Gees” mix

Which, coincidentally, happens every time the visitors change pitchers in the middle of the inning.
Right....

Hit the showers… with the rest of the boys (not that there’s anything wrong with that).

it takes a village people compilation CD to raise a child

now…i’m off my political soapbox

They'll just pitch around Rami to get to Theriot.
If we don't score here

I will cuss, right out loud and everything

I pre-approve your profanity
unfortunately, I had to go with it.
Some dude robbed Meijer nearby here and there's choppers flying around...

…my office building trying to catch the guy – apparently he’s got a gun – should be a fun walk to my car at quitting time.

Dude, make a citizens arrest!!

JK, don’t be a hero. Is you name Billy?

citizen's arrest...

who are you tila tequilla???

I'm her little brother Vinny Vodka
yikes...be careful
Wow, whereabouts are you?
Elk Grove Village
So was it the Meijer in Schaumburg?
Rolling Meadows

Apparently it started in the parking lot and escalated from there…

Oh, right - that's the one I mean.

Great, that’s near where I live.

Stay downtown for a while.
With a name like malicedoom, you might attract trouble.
Oooh... update - escaped from the cops, carjacked a Mazda CX-9

And has TWO guns apparently – super.

Maybe the game will end soon and we can send Lilly over there.
In that beast, they'll never catch him.

Seriously, I love that car.

Rami flies out for the third out. Still 5-4 Brewers.
Gameset: Top 7. Brewers 5, Cubs 4.

Heading out soon. Someone else will have to handle the PBP. See you folks. Bring home the W.

I'll take PbP

Just let me know when

later Zeke, thanks for the pbp
Fan Cam grade: C
Braun BB

1 on, 1 out

Did you see this?

cst_cubs Bradley never ceases to amaze. Took himself out after routine 1B, no trainer, no nothing. Team says knee.

I thought they said on TV that he was called back from the dugout.
Tweaked knee according to L&B

And he has been HBP two games in a row…

Yeah, and Gordo wonders why players won't talk to him.
But other people say that he's not a jackass

I don’t know what to believe.

I've never met him personally...

…but he’s had it in for Milton from Day One.

From whom is that tweet?
Gordon Wittenmyer of the Sun-Times.
Gordon Wittenmyer, Sun-Times beat writer.
hence the cst, duh, ty
Cameron singles pasta-diving Theriot

1st and 2nd, 2 out

Theriot is diving in pasta?
so this is like 3 games in a row with the starters getting pulled after a huge inning
Some wise poster said that you don't waste good pitching while you've got it.

Cause it won’t last forever.
