First or fail?
First

You win 1 BCB point

Gotta long way to go to get the Snuggie, my friend.
That's what I was afraid of.
Cardinals Saints Corps are collectively 1-9
Thankfully

Demp will only have to go 8IP for the CG.

I wonder how Cub starters have managed to stay off drugs

and glue sniffing this year ? I would go nuts if every time I want out to do my job my co-workers messed up so bad I could never get it done.

They all listen to Mr. T
This whole season has been a tragedy for the starters.
actually, it's been a tragedy ::from:: the start
i cant imagine what the cubs record would be

if they had nationals like pitching

I wonder what it'd be like if we had Nationals-like hitting...
That's not hard to imagine

It would like the Nationals

I'm back

Just in time for the “let’s finally win a goddamn game thread”

Well, three more outs. We can still do it!

Go Cubs!

UH - oh ...............

Franklin ……… here’s you chance folks

We said that last night, too
i remember thinking that when gregg faced pujols last night..
Hoff with yet another hit - leadoff single.
TLR

Should NOT have pulled Carp

He was at 101 pitches

But throwing a gem – he should have stayed.

Any bets as to whether Miles will PH this inning?
Soto singles.

1st and 3rd nobody out. Fuld running for Hoff.

Well I assume his legs are OK
WHAT??? you don't KNOW???
Sam forgot to call and check in today
you seem a little confused on how this stalking thing is supposed to work...
I can only do so much when I am 800 miles away.
OMG

Congrats …………. Franklin = Lidge

let's wait until we score a few...
We want Miles

We want Miles

Lookin' at Taguchi

It’s about that time

OT: college football score: Washington 13, USC 10
That game has not gone final yet.
I stand by my statement
Ohio State sucks
as does whoever you root for...
I think USC lost McBride to an ankle injury in the first qtr
IOWA 27 , Arizona 10 2:03 left in the game
I knew you were going to bring that up. ;-)
hee
Make that IOWA 27, Arizona 17 with 1:53 left.
Zeke will be pleased.

Michigan State just took a 30-26 lead over Notre Dame.

I saw that. He will be happy.
I gotta Leave

It’s gonna be real ugly for me any pitch now. Thanks for the Chat y’all. Hook em Horns

just get 1 in the air baker
He did :D

Tie game!

Done.

Sac fly. Tie game.

done
Good deal

Gets Dempster off the hook and prevents Carp from winning, if nothing else.

the greatest closer in the world

hasth failed

Scoreless inning streak snapped at 16
why is fontenot going to PH instead of fox
righty lefty, JC. righty, lefty...
Lou caught Fox hanging out with Rob Dibble ?
Scales GIDP.

Middle 9, tied 1-1.

that was predictable

check swing DP

Another DP. Damn!
I hate to be Debbie Downer

but why do I think this is just stringing it out the loss.

More like

Rita Realist.

your Delta Tau Chi name is...

…Doggie Downer.

Anyone old enough to remember an SNL sketch commercial.

For PUPPY UPPERS & DOGGIE DOWNERS . It was a riot.

Yup

Almost all of SNL’s drug humor was hilarious.

“You can put your weed in it, man!”

what a great commercial
One good think

Demp won’t get the loss. He has gotten a lot of grief around here mostly do to his contract but he has
had some great games like today.

Marmol on to pitch

Lou learned his lesson? IT’S HAPPENING?!?!?!?

I'm not pleased

This isn’t a save situation. Who closes if the Cubs go ahead?

how about we get through the 9th first
I was thinking the same thing.

But why not someone else?

"what else you got?"
I think he'll come back next year better than ever.

Had a lot on his plate this year.

Who?
Well, if his plate is full, it's gotta be Geo.
Leadoff single for Ludwick.

DeRo to the dish.

Saint DeRo

Fails on the bunt!

he must now say three Hail DeRosas and four Our Pujols...
Hit and run, Molina single, DeRo to 3rd.
Ryan looks like an extra from "Reno 911" or whatever that stupid cop show is

eye black and cheesy mustache? Not a good look…

It was a great look

In Oakland. In 1979.

Well at least hasn't walked anyone

but I assume he will now.

A bases loaded jam seems inevitable.
nah

doesn’t make it that far

Ryan singles, game over.

Cubs lose 2-1.

What can you say or do?

Just another tough loss!

scales swung the bat well...
Another walkoff loss. ::sigh::
I'm shocked

again

Last night, death by sledgehammer. Today, death by papercuts.

which one is worse?

I choose death!
this is a fate worse than death
i had a feeling with carp on the mound the cubs would probably lose this one
Shoulda put in ballhawk

for the hold

Manager fail
well whaddaya want me to do their

where’s that list of excuses

there fail two
Here, you can blame one of these guys.

1: BleedsbluinMI, C
2: dat Cubfan Daver, 2B
3: shifafaontheside, 3B
4: Vermont Cubs Fan, CF (switch-hitter)
5: ballhawk, LF
6: chilango2, 1B
7: Clutch16, RF
8: jesus christos, SS
9: Itchy, P

Manager: LT

well you we are trying to turn

ballhawk into a major league left fielder. All I can do is plug him in there.

Since you're the manager, that's the lineup you've got.
I sense that someone is trying to shift the blame to the GM

since this lineup was constructed on BCB, it stands to reason that Al is the GM. Therefore…

I blame Al.

Good point.

I think some of Al’s offseason acquisitions are not good for the team.

all I can do is plug in the players that Al gives me

Now you know why I didn’t play MB

I was squeezed at the plate.
I went 3-4

What’s y’all’s excuse?

I went 1-2 with a pair of walks.
I had a couple of brain farts....
I wasn't on the team.
I don't know why Marmol

was in the game in that situation. If you’re a closer, then close. At home in the ninth, I understand putting him in, but not on the road.

I thought that maybe he should've come in last night

But that’s b/c the pen was depleted. Grabow, Marshall, Gorzo, and others all had a day off after pitching Wed. and Thurs.

I do throw a pretty mean knuckleball...
Tough loss

tough…

I heard the Cubs

lead the league in walkoff defeats. Is that right?

Sounds good to me

Let’s run with it.

What if the Cards and Yanks both go to the World Series?

I don’t know who I’d want to see lose more!

hope for another strike
I plan to leave the country if that happens.
Oh, God, what a horrible prospect.

Hope for a well-aimed meteor.

GO TENNESSEE

Just as well it was not broadcast in NYC but would have been nice to see Fuld

We sure have trouble

beating the good teams!

Well, I was hoping to win just one of these three games.

Last chance tomorrow.

USC just went down to Washington

crazy year already…. Well 3 seconds left to play

Wild one in South Bend.

Notre Dame just took a 33-30 lead.

Zeke must be pulling his hair out.

Just the usual...
NOW it is over.
which one - ND/MSU or USC/Wash?
USC/Washington
ah... thanks.

and thanks to Washington too.

USC

ND game still has 5 mins left

Final score of that game: Notre Dame 33, Michigan State 30
Spartans QB really choked on the last two plays... wow
Zeke must be going bald. I can't imagine those plays made him too happy.
The only upside is I didn't see them.

I was working on trying to fix a problem with my daughter’s Mac Mini. Missed most of the second half.

So I got that going for me. Which is nice.

don't watch the replays

unless you got some barf meds…..

Looks like I picked a bad day to quit...

Drinking
Heroin
Glue Sniffing
Car Surfing
Train Dodging
Face Ironing
Body Piercing

…oh, you get the idea…

Washington 16, USC 13 (Final) ... and they storm the field in Seattle.
Well, have a great Saturday night, everyone. Charlie Metro, what say you?

coach

Meh

I may be able to watch the playoffs this year, though…

anyone else still listening to WGN via Gameday Audio?

they keep mikes on during commerical breaks so Judd is talking to some engineers, production assts, etc. about how to send it over to Syracuse for Northwestern football. Can’t hear what the other guys are saying but Judd comes through with a beaut:

“Believe me, when I’m on the air, less is more.”

Amen, Judd. Amen.

Probably the best thing he said all day

What a shame that so few got to hear it
